Reliability of Different Facial Measurements for Determination of Vertical Dimension of Occlusion in Edentulous Using Accepted Facial Dimensions Recorded from Dentulous Subjects
Abstract The study was undertaken to evaluate the reliability of different facial measurements for determination of vertical dimension of occlusion in edentulous subjects using accepted facial dimensions recorded from dentulous subjects. The hypothesis was that facial measurements can be used to obtain the vertical dimension of occlusion for edentulous patients where no pre-extraction records exist. A total of 180 subjects were selected in the age groups of 50–60 years, consisting of 75 dentate male and 75 dentate female subjects for whom different facial measurements were recorded including vertical...

A Novel Design of a Transitional Complete Denture in Full Arch Fixed Implant Restoration
Abstract The transitional denture given in a full arch fixed implant restoration should not disturb the healing and osseointegration process. This is made possible by lining the denture with a uniform thickness of soft liner. The article describes a method of achieving uniform thickness of soft liner and minimizing the load transmitted to the area where implants were placed.
