Clinical and histopathological changes in palatal mucosa following two treatment modalities in patients wearing maxillary complete dentures with suction cup

Abstract

Aim:The aim of the study was to determine the clinical and histopathological effect on palatal hyperplasia caused by suction cups by different methods of management used for recovery of abused tissues.Materials and Methods:A total of 35 subjects agreed for biopsy procedure, from 50 patients who gave consent for the study. Out of the 35 subjects, 20 were randomly selected for treatment with discontinuation of denture (Group I) and 15 selected for denture relined with tissue conditioner (COE-comfort) (Group II). Punch biopsy procedure was performed on these patients to study the histopathology of the lesion before the two modalities of treatment was administered on them.Results:Inflammation caused by suction cup decreased considerably by both the treatment modalities, i.e., the use of tissue conditioner as well as discontinuation of denture (tissue rest) for a period of 2 weeks.Conclusion:It was concluded that wearing denture day and night considerably increased the severity of inflammatory papillary hyperplasia of palate. Healing was better with tissue conditioner when compared with tissue rest.

Preprosthetic correction procedures in patients with combination syndrome

“…Zastosowanie cienkiej folii cynowej dokładnie zaadoptowanej do modelu zapewnia idealną gładkość wewnętrznej, niepolerowanej strony uzupełnienia a wprasowywany akrylan jest dobrze skondensowany przy folii dzięki czemu eliminuje się czynnik drażniący wynikający często z mikroporowatości gipsowego modelu. 16,17 W przypadku zmian rozlanych, rozległych, niepoddających się leczeniu zachowawczemu, należy wprowadzić metody inwazyjne w celu usunięcia przerośniętej błony śluzowej przed wykonaniem nowej protezy. Stosuje się techniki inwazyjne, takie jak: klasyczne wycięcie zmiany, mechaniczna abrazja błony śluzowej poprzez starcie szybkoobrotowym narzędziem skrawającym, elektrochirurgia, krioterapia i laseroterapia.…”

Clinical Evaluation of Denture Retention by Multi-suction Cup and Denture Adhesive

“…Total denture retention is a dynamic phenomenon, involving several variables. It has been found that objective and chewing ability were primarily influenced by denture retention or stability [3], [4].…”

“…Whether this is by covalent bonds or chelation, the idea is a fixed molecular relationship and the fact that there is a separation resistance is called adhesion regardless of the inability to define a particular mechanism [7]. The use of suction cups in maxillary denture satisfies retention and stability requirements [4]. It has been found that the suction cup liner can be applied to both the upper and lower dentures.…”

A 5-week Non-Surgical Approach towards Denture Induced Hyperplasia

“…The lesions are usually nodular and firm, with color varying from pink to red [ 1 ]. These lesions are usually induced by negative pressure between the tissue and ill-adapted denture or in vacuum chamber used in the upper denture [ 3 ]. Vacuum chambers consist in a palatal relief in the denture.…”

“…At first, the chamber creates negative pressure in the area, enhancing retention [ 4 ]. However, with time, the negative pressure causes an inflammatory papillary hyperplasia, being painless and taking the form of its chamber [ 3 ]. It can also be associated with the colonization of Candida albicans , causing denture stomatitis and angular cheilitis [ 5 ].…”
