“…The benefit of using this technique is ease of handling the 3D spacer as it is solid and fixed to the denture base and retrieval is not required unlike other materials described previously 2,9,12‐19 . Also, there is no discoloration as seen in the double flask technique 1,8,11 …”

Severely resorbed residual alveolar ridges are a challenge in rehabilitation with removable complete dentures. Increased interarch space may result in increased height of maxillary and/or mandibular dentures with corresponding increase in weight, which may compromise retention and resistance of the denture and ultimately, the success of the removable prosthesis. There are many techniques and materials described for reducing the weight of dentures. This article describes an innovative technique for fabricating hollow maxillary dentures using a 3D printed hollow dental surgical guide resin spacer. The double flask technique was used to construct the hollow denture and was modified to incorporate the hollow spacer at the time of final closure of flasks.

“…Moreover, it was also previously reported that the used two parts of the denture used in the procedure might discolor, fracture, or leak with time, which might reduce the efficacy and safety of the modality. 15,21 Therefore, it should be approached with caution, and considering other modalities should also be prioritized when such adverse events are suspected to maintain adequate patient safety and comfort. For performing 3D space-based procedures, many materials have been previously proposed to achieve this purpose and successfully produce a hollow cavity after the initial processing using the technique.…”

Clinically, the management of severy atrophic maxilla might represent a significant challenge for the attending dentists and surgeons to successfully perform and achieve fabricated complete maxillary dentures. Making a hollow denture base for these defects has also been previously reported as a valid approach that can be used to decrease the weight of the maxillary prosthesis. Many modalities have been proposed for these procedures with favorable outcomes, and variable events of disadvantages and adverse events. This literature review aims to collect enough evidence regarding the different reported techniques of the hollow maxillary denture, according to the different studies. Many techniques have been previously reported as using magnets, using implants, intramucosal inserts, springs, suction disks, lightweight dentures, and modified impression techniques. Many materials have been previously used with the 3D spacers of the lightweight denture techniques as dental stone, silicon putty, cellophane-wrapped asbestos, light-body coated gauze, modeling clay, salt, thermocol, caramel, and glycerine soap. Favoring one of the modalities over the other requires the inauguration of future studies with an adequate sample size to validate the efficacy and safety of these modalities. All of this information is furtherly discussed within the manuscript based on the collected evidence from the different studies in the literature.

“…Single denture (SD) is one of the removable appliances which attract the attention and be in mind of most of the dentists in an attempt to prolong the life of the remaining natural teeth and relating structures. The success of SD ultimately depends on a number of factors such as retention, stability, support, aesthetics, and masticatory function (1) . Construction of SD is a demanding prosthetic procedure chiefly when opposed by natural teeth in non-harmonious occlusal plane.…”

Purpose: To evaluate patient satisfaction, the retentive characteristics, and the masticatory efficiency in maxillary single denture wearers with 3 different denture bases. Material and Methods: 40 patients; 10 dentate (control group (GC)) and 30 completely edentulous maxillary ridges patients (43-56 years) were selected for this study. The maxillary completely edentulous patients were divided into 3 groups randomly; 10 patients each and received single dentures; Group I (GI) received conventional heat cured acrylic resin (AR) followed by thermoplastic acrylic resin (TAR) then thermoplastic nylon (TN) denture base (GI:AR/TAR/TN), (GII:TAR/TN/ AR) and (GIII:TN/AR/TAR). Patient satisfaction, the retentive characteristics and the masticatory efficiency were evaluated 3 months after delivery of each single denture.Results: 27 out of 30 patients had age of (mean 50 ± 3.7 years) accomplished the study. Statistically significant differences were observed in comfort and appearance, p≤ 0.05. No statistically significant differences were observed in phonetics, pain, or ease of cleaning of maxillary single denture, p>0.05. Statistically significant differences were observed in the retentive forces between (AR, TAR and TN), p≤ 0.05 except between (TN and TAR), p>0.05. Statistically significant differences were observed in the masticatory efficiency between (GC, AR, TAR and TN), p≤ 0.05 except between (TAR and TN), p>0.05. Conclusions: Maxillary single dentures with TN denture bases showed the advantage over TAR and AR denture bases in terms of comfort and appearance. Retention forces of TN and TAR were comparable and higher than that of AR denture bases. Type of denture base does not influence the masticatory efficiency of maxillary single denture wearers.
