Retention of complete dentures has always posed a problem for dental practitioners and prosthodontists. Various methods have been used to increase denture retention. One technique used in earlier times involved adding a suction chamber to the tissue surface of the denture to create a vacuum for better retention. However, this method did not gain popularity due to its negative effects. Patients with suction chambers in their dentures ended up with perforations of the palate. We are presenting two cases of palatal perforation caused by the use of suction chambers in dentures.
Patients seeking treatment for complete dentures can be categorized into two groups, those who are completely edentulous, and those with some remaining teeth. In the latter case, several treatment options are available, including immediate dentures, overdentures, and telescopic prosthesis. Another option, which is not widely practiced, is the Cu-sil denture, an alternative to overdentures, transitional dentures, conventional dentures, and full dentures. It can be used for roofless uppers and free end partials where tooth contour is insufficient to cast clasps. This technique is most commonly used in Western countries, and we have attempted a similar approach using O-ring dentures.
Disruption of mandibular continuity can result in changes in symmetry and balance, as well as derangement of occlusal relationships and proprioceptive responses. This can lead to significant compromise in functional efficiency and appearance. Among all types of defects, discontinuous defects pose the greatest challenge for prosthodontic rehabilitation.
Tuberculosis is an infectious, chronic granulomatous disease that can involve almost any organ in the body, though primarily lesions are usually confined to the lungs. Oral lesions are an infrequent occurrence in tuberculosis, and tuberculosis of the oral cavity is often a consequence of active pulmonary tuberculosis. Although primary tuberculosis in the oral cavity has been documented, it is a rare occurrence. Oral lesions of tuberculosis though uncommon, are seen in both the primary and secondary stages of the disease. In secondary tuberculosis, the oral manifestations may be accompanied by lesions in the lungs, lymph nodes, or at any part of the body and can be detected by systemic examination. This publication focuses on a typical case of tuberculous ulcer of oral cavity who has reported to our dental college.
Tuberculosis of the gingiva is a rare condition and can present as unusual lesions, which can create a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present a case report of a nine-year-old boy who presented with gingival ulcers. The patient did not show any signs or evidence of systemic disease elsewhere in his body. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of gingival tuberculosis, and he was referred for appropriate anti-tuberculous therapy.
