I got a conclusion as a result of that in case of constructing a full denture using acrylic resin teeth, porcelain teeth, and forming posterior occlusal surface of the artificial teeth by Type III Gold and Nickel crome alloy thus construdting a full denture and therefore comparing the above case with abrasion of Natural teeth. The result were as follows : 1. The abrasion of Natural teeth and the abrasion of full denture constructed by Type III gold has a close resemblance. 2. The one that has the hightest degree of abrasion is full denture that's using, with acrylic resin teeth, maxillary and mandibular And the lowest abrasion is natural teeth-natural teeth. 3. In case of single denture, that's opposing to natural teeth, the one that has the hightest degree of abrasion is a full denture that's using Acrylic resin teeth and the lowest abrasion is a full denture that's forming occlusal surface by Type III gold. 4. The single denture, which is opposing to type III gold teeth, was abraded above everything by full denture which is constructed by porcelain teeth. 5. In the same teeth, the abrasion of mandibular teeth was greater than that of mandibular teeth was greater than that of maxillary teeth. 6. The abrasion degree of Acrylic resin teeth has no direct mutual connection with material hardness which is opposing to.

When full denture is being fabricated, pronounciation, recovery of aesthetics of function and mastificatory function should be satisfies for patients. To satisfy for the function of denture, following is the difference between this new way of fabricating and formerly one of it. 1. The size of fabricating tooth which is harmony of original oral structure for patients is deaded by manufacturing labial index and artificial tongue. 2. By the use of artificial tongue and labial index, the arranges of artificial tooth is to become harmony of oral structure. 3. Formation of gingival decided functional impression which is used by impression paste, is harmony of oral structure. Therefore, this full denture can be satisfied with pronouncing oral function of recovery of aesthetics as well as mastificatory through physiological movement of oral tissue not disturbed with anything but cooperated drastically. In manufacturing of this full denture, both dentist and dental technician under cooperation need to proceed the work on the base of importance of communication.

CAD/CAM technology has already been used in most areas of prosthetics. The range of CAD/CAM application in denture fabricating process has been gradually increasing since the CAD/CAM technology was introduced for the fabrication of complete dentures in 1994. This paper describes a technique that combines conventional and CAD/CAM technology for the fabrication of complete dentures: the master casts from a conventional impression techniques were scanned first, and the wax denture was fabricated using Amann Girrbach's Ceramill full denture system (fds). The purpose of this paper is to introduce the case in which making an esthetically and functionally satisfied denture in shorter time is possible with CAD/CAM technology.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the dimension safety evaluation between a general ultrasonic cleaner and an ultrasonic cleaner equipped with UV-C (ultraviolet-C). Methods: An edentulous model was prepared. A denture base and an occlusal rim were fabricated, and scanning was performed. After scanning, a denture base and full arch artificial teeth were designed. The full arch artificial teeth were printed using a three-dimensional printer (n=10). The residual resin was washed with alcohol and then scanned (reference data). The printed specimens were classified and cleaned using a general ultrasonic cleaner (GU group) and an ultrasonic cleaner equipped with UV-C (UC group). After each washing, a rescan was performed (scan data). Reference data and scan data were superimposed using overlapping software. Data were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test (α=0.05). Results: In the deviation values of full arch artificial teeth, the GU group showed a high deviation of 18.02 ㎛ and the UC group showed a low deviation of 15.02 ㎛. The two groups demonstrated a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). Conclusion: Full arch artificial teeth prepared using photopolymerized resin were deformed according to the temperature of water generated in the ultrasonic cleaner. It is judged that there is no deformation according to the UV-C ultrasonic cleaner.

Purpose: This study is a mechanical strength supplementation of denture base resin Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is in general use for denture base resin of the partial and full denture, however, The polymerization process of PMMA is not stabilized. Because of compatibility problems, preceding studies were performed, which were enhancing mechanical strength(Camilo Machado 2007),(Ana M. 2008), addition filler to materials property(Ayse Mese, 2008), self curing method(Hiroshi Shimizu, 2008). Methods: The carbon fiber and polyacetal filler, reinforced the mechanical strength for improving the stability of denture base resin were supplemented to the self cured resin. The Modulus of elasticity and the restoring force were calculated by tensile test. Results: The strengths of the heat and self cured resin were respectively decreased and increased, when the filler was supplemented to the denture base resin and the modulus of elasticity of both heat and self cured resin were not increased, when the filler was supplemented to the denture base resin. Conclusion: The restoring forces of self cured resin containing 10% filler were increased, when the filler was supplemented to the denture base resin.

The purpose of this article is to present a clinical case report for palateless complete denture. Despite the contravacy of palatal uncoverage in upper complete denture, palateless complete denture has some merits for upper edentulous patient. Following the uncovering of the palatal portion, the patient became easy to talk and restored the lost good tastes. He is happy despite of the decrease of the retention of the upper complete denture. Palateless complete denture is a compatible alternative fir upper edentulous patients in cases of gagging, large palatal torus and restoring the lost good tastes. The clinical points are as follows : 1. The remaning alveolar ridge should be ovoid and have enough width and height for the sup-port and retention. 2. The patient must have strong wish to the palateless complete denture. 3. Palatal beading made on the palatal peripheral border give good border sealing of the palatal flange and minimaized the prominence of the denture flange 4. The peripheral border of the palatal flange should be reduced as thin as possible for more comfort. 5. Upper artificial posterior teeth should be arranged over the alveolar ridge crest and inner incline of the buccal cusp relieved for denture stability while chewing. 6. For stability of palateless complete denture, bilateral balanced occlusion should be sttained. Palateless complete denture will restore the lost good tastes and more comfortable and physiologic to upper edentulous patients and a good alternative to full palatal coverage complete denture in the properly selected cases.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to analyze the frequency and duration of adjustments after delivery of complete denture according to age, sex, arch with complete denture, insurance coverage of a denture, type of antagonist, the experience of wearing denture, the period of edentulism, and the type of denture base. Materials and methods. For 5 years, medical records of patients aged 65 or older who had treated full dentures were assessed for the frequency and duration of follow-up visits after complete denture delivery. Statistical analysis was performed at the 5% level of significance to analyze the correlation between the frequency and duration of follow-up according to sex, insurance coverage, arch with the complete denture, type of denture base, type of antagonist, experience of wearing a denture, age, and healing period. Results. 247 complete dentures were included in this study. The median frequency of follow-up visits was 3, and the median duration of follow-up was 36 days. Lower dentures had significantly higher frequency of follow-up visits than upper dentures (P = .036). According to the type of antagonist, dentures opposing a complete denture had a significantly higher frequency of follow-up visits than dentures opposing a removable partial denture (P = .016). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency and duration of adjustments after delivery of complete denture by age, sex, insurance coverage, healing period, the experience of wearing a denture, and type of denture base. Conclusion. Within the limitations of the present study, lower complete dentures or dentures opposing a complete denture had an increased frequency of follow-up visits.

Purpose: The dental medicine has been preparing the custom-made service to meet the requirements of the aged society, while the average span of human life is growing more and more, and the full denture is a representative of them. It is causing great concern in these atmosphere of society, and demands for it are expected to increase. The full denture is a uniform combination of denture base and artificial teeth using polymerization, and is most influenced by change of physical properties of denture base and bonding strength with artificial teeth. Methods: In this study, the samples were made of composite resin combined with occlusion surface of artificial teeth undergone mechanically surface treatment to evaluate the bonding strength of composite resin for repairing artificial teeth. The resin teeth used in this study are 3 types artificial teeth. And 3 types of composite resins are used that are various polymerization resin. The shear strength of composite resins made in various polymerization ways to resin teeth was measured to evaluate bonding strength of artificial teeth to each composite resins. Results: Surface hardness's results on Trubyte Biotone(74.58Hv), Biotone IPN(70.06Hv), Endura Posterio (64.48Hv). Results of bonding strength of artificial teeth to composite resins on ES samples(8.73Mpa), IF(4.37Mpa) and IZ(3.84Mpa). Conclusion: 1. The Trubyte Biotone(74.58Hv) was first, followed by Biotone IPN(70.06Hv), and Endura Posterio(64.48Hv) in surface hardness's results of worn sides using hardness test. 2. The ES samples(8.73Mpa) showed significant differences with IF(4.37Mpa) and IZ(3.84Mpa) (p<0.05), but not other samples(p>0.05) in results of bonding strength of artificial teeth to composite resins.
