3. INTRODUCTION
A number of methods have been described for the
fabrication of complete dentures.
Two most common ways are the traditional method
and the simplified method.
7. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Inclusion criteria were the following:
1. Studies published in English
2. Clinical reports, RCTs, controlled clinical trials,
reviews about the simplified fabrication of complete
dentures.
Exclusion criteria a were as follows:
1. Not human studies;
2. Studies not published in English
10. Discussion
The results of this review support the idea that the use
of the traditional method for the construction of
dental prostheses does not produce better clinical
results than the use of the simplified method in terms
of general satisfaction, the OHIP-Edentulous scale,
denture quality and masticatory ability.
The normal simplified method was demonstrated to
be faster and cheaper than the traditional method.
11. The one-step complete denture technique allows
dentures to be fabricated in approximately an hour,
with minimal follow-up adjustments
However, it can only be used with well-rounded ridges
and a normal jaw relationship.
One-step complete dentures are not custom dentures
and consequently not suitable for demanding patients
12. SET is a simple method of fabricating complete
dentures. Although it sacrifices some effects of the
treatment.
SET saves significant time and money. Because of the
limitation of its prosthesis effect, this method should
only be used with patients who are especially clumsy
of movement (i.e., in movement disorders) or other
special situations.
studies showed that direct and indirect costs (time and
money) of simplified complete dentures(R$ 138.62 ±
36.34) are much lower than those of traditional
complete dentures. (R$ 216.50 ± 57.64).
The cost clearly can significantly impact patient mood
and satisfaction.
13. The use of traditional approaches, such as a second
impression or facebow transfer,may still be valid for
certain clinical conditions, such as displaceable upper
ridges, mobile fibrous or knife-edge lower ridges, and
patients with daytime bruxism.
In the current scenario , we should be able to simplify
the fabrication methods in specific situations to
increase efficiency and save resources.
14. Conclusion
Current scientific evidence suggests that a simplified
fabrication method can replace or partly replace the
conventional method to produce dentures.
However, specific rules should be devised to restrict
the simplified construction, and detailed research
should be conducted to further investigate specialized
cases, such as displaceable upper ridges, or patients
with mobile fibrous or knife-edge lower ridges.
