This study examined denture palatal fit variations. Injection moulding and compression moulding techniques showed differences in post-cure palatal discrepancy, with discrepancies greatest distally.

Area of Science:

  • Dental prosthetics
  • Materials science in dentistry

Background:

  • Ensuring accurate fit of complete dentures is crucial for patient comfort and function.
  • Palatal discrepancy in dentures can lead to poor adaptation and retention.
  • Different denture processing methods may influence the final fit of the prosthesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and quantify the variations in post-cure palatal discrepancy of complete maxillary dentures.
  • To compare the effects of conventional compression moulding and injection moulding on denture fit.
  • To assess the influence of post-processing handling (plaster removal, water immersion) on palatal discrepancies.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of 20 complete maxillary replica dentures on models with high and low palates.
  • Processing dentures using conventional compression moulding and injection moulding techniques.

  • Measurement of sagittal midline discrepancies using a travelling microscope at three stages: post-processing, after plaster removal, and after 1-month water immersion at 37°C.

    • Main Results:

    • Palatal discrepancies were greatest in the posterior (distal) region, decreasing anteriorly towards the postdam.
    • Both processing methods exhibited discrepancies, with specific patterns observed.
    • Partial removal of investing plaster increased the magnitude of discrepancies.
    • Water immersion for 1 month at 37°C resulted in a slight decrease in discrepancies.

    Conclusions:

    • Denture processing methods and post-processing handling significantly influence post-cure palatal fit.
    • Distal regions of the palate are most susceptible to discrepancies.
    • Understanding these variations is essential for optimizing denture fabrication and improving clinical outcomes.
