“…This result agrees with the finding of the previous studies, which found that most patients with a modified denture perceived improvement or no change [24, 26]. Most patients with old dentures accepted a gradual increase in the OVD, even if they were used to their old dentures with a reduced OVD.…”

Complete denture wearers often find it difficult to accept a new denture. Personality traits are among the factors that possibly affect patient satisfaction with a complete denture. Our aim was to investigate the influence of patients' personality on satisfaction with their present denture and after an increase in the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Sixty edentulous patients with complete dentures (22 men and 38 women, mean age 66 years, and range 50–75 years) participated in the study. The age of their complete dentures ranged from 5 to 16 years. Patients' personalities were evaluated using the Arabic version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Their satisfaction with their dentures before and after restoration of the OVD and relining of the mandibular denture was evaluated using two questionnaires (I and II), Patients with a high score of neuroticism were less satisfied with their original dentures and after relining and an increase of OVD compared with patients with an average score in that trait. The personality trait of psychoticism was significant to patients' acceptance of an increase in OVD; that is, patients with a high score were less satisfied with their dentures after increase of OVD than patients with an average score. It is concluded that personality traits affect patients' acceptance of their complete dentures.

“…Implant overdentures provide many psychosocial, functional, and anatomic benefits for patients who have lost all their teeth . They have also been found to be more gratifying for edentulous patients than a mandibular complete denture . The placement of two interforaminal implants and the use of abutments to retain the denture increases stability and improves the biting force of the mandibular overdenture compared to conventional denture wearers …”

Various attachment systems have been used to facilitate the retention, stability, and support of overdentures. The low profile design, pivoting technology, and durability of the Locator attachment made it one of the commonly used tissue-supported implant-retained overdentures. It has been successfully used to retain overdentures as well as partial dentures. This article describes the uses of the new Locator R-Tx abutment and illustrates both the direct and indirect techniques used to process the denture attachment housing into the prosthesis to retain overdentures and partial dentures.
