Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • The edentulous patient presents ongoing challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Continuous evaluation of dental materials and procedures is essential for optimal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of edentulous patients.
  • To highlight new techniques and materials relevant to complete denture fabrication and patient management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies published within the past year.
  • Analysis of research on preprosthetic surgery, occlusion, dental materials, and craniomandibular disorders.
  • Evaluation of infection control impacts on prostheses.

Main Results:

  • Pretreatment radiographs are not universally indicated for edentulous patients.
  • Preprosthetic surgery and objective vertical dimension of occlusion measurements show promise.
  • Craniomandibular disorder prevalence is high in denture wearers, with treatment options discussed.
  • Disinfecting agent effects on prostheses require evaluation due to enhanced infection control.

Conclusions:

  • Removable complete dentures remain a viable tooth replacement option.
  • Ongoing research in materials, surgical techniques, and patient-centered care improves edentulous patient outcomes.
