Summary
This study introduces a modified custom tray and record block system for elderly patients needing dentures. This streamlined approach reduces appointments while maintaining high-quality denture construction.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
- Geriatric Care
Background:
- Elderly patients often have complex oral conditions requiring specialized denture fabrication.
- Traditional denture construction involves multiple appointments, which can be challenging for compromised individuals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel two-in-one modified custom tray and record block system.
- To improve the efficiency and quality of denture construction for elderly patients.
Main Methods:
- Custom trays are fabricated on primary casts using the patient's existing, functionally corrected dentures.
- This system allows for simultaneous final impressions and centric jaw relation records in a single clinical visit.
Main Results:
- The described system effectively combines impression taking and jaw relation recording.
- It significantly reduces the number of clinical appointments required.
Conclusions:
- The modified custom tray and record block system offers a viable solution for efficient denture construction in compromised elderly patients.
- This method maintains the quality of the final dentures despite fewer appointments.
