Clinical Preventive Dentistry
|March 1, 1989
Summary
The Orthopedic Relator system streamlines complete denture fabrication, reducing steps and enhancing standardization compared to traditional methods for monoplane occlusion dentures.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
- Dental Materials
Background:
- Complete dentures with monoplane occlusion are a common prosthetic solution.
- Traditional fabrication methods can be complex and lack standardization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the fabrication process of complete dentures using traditional techniques versus the Orthopedic Relator system.
- To evaluate the efficiency and standardization offered by the Orthopedic Relator technology.
Main Methods:
- Two sets of complete dentures with monoplane occlusion were fabricated for eight patients.
- One set utilized traditional fabrication techniques.
- The second set was constructed using the Orthopedic Relator system.
Main Results:
- The Orthopedic Relator system required fewer individual fabrication steps.
- This technology provided a higher degree of standardization in denture construction.
- Standardization was improved compared to traditional dental laboratory protocols.
Conclusions:
- The Orthopedic Relator system offers a more efficient and standardized approach to fabricating complete dentures with monoplane occlusion.
- This technology has the potential to improve consistency and reduce chair time in prosthodontic treatment.
