TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS IN AESTHETIC REHABILITATION OF FULL DENTURES

Abstract

Full Dentures represents the classic therapeutic solution for complete edentulous patients, due to their advantages. The choice of the optimal therapeutic solution must be based on a correct and complete clinical and complementary examination. The difficulties of choosing a therapeutic strategy consist in finding a balance in satisfying the patient’s requirements and the objective demands of the individuality of the oral cavity. The aim of this article is to present a clinical case that illustrates the technology of restoring the physiognomic function of a total edentulous case by rendering the aesthetic aspect of artificial gum, for a complete maxillary denture. The polychromy method is a technique that consists of the superimposition of different shades of colors in order to restore the most natural appearance of artificial gingiva. This method allows obtaining prostheses with a better aesthetic appearance, comparing to the classical ones.
