Identifying, Assessing and Solving Problems in Complete Denture Fabrication Procedures
Keywords:
Complete denture fabrication, procedural difficulties, clinical errorsAbstract
This article provides an in-depth examination of the myriad challenges encountered during the design and fabrication of complete dentures, offering nuanced solutions to elevate prosthetic outcomes. Common issues such as inadequate retention, impaired mastication, phonetic difficulties, and diminished aesthetics are explored through a clinical lens. The article underscores advanced techniques like the neutral zone method and the use of soft liners to counteract instability in highly resorbed ridges. Additionally, the efficacy of implant-supported overdentures is highlighted as a gold standard for addressing severe edentulism, although financial considerations remain a limiting factor. Surgical interventions, along with customized impression strategies, are proposed to enhance both function and patient comfort. This synthesis of technical insights enables clinicians to navigate complex prosthodontic cases, ensuring a more tailored, patient-centric approach to full denture rehabilitation
