METABOLIC PLASMATIC BIOMARKER AS A RELEVANT INDICATOR FOR ALVEOLAR BONE RESORPTION CONSECUTIVE TO DENTURES RELINING

Abstract

Introduction. Complete denture relines are typically necessary due to ontinuous bone resorption. Because to individual differences in resorption rates, the time between relining procedures varies. As of right now, there are no predictors to help identify people who may need relines frequently or to help advise doctors when they make reline decisions.
