Abstract
:
The present study was conducted with the interest of providing patients, who have relatively flat ridges yet are poor candidates for surgical procedures, with a well self-retained conventional complete denture. A new technique was hence introduced to enhance the retention of lower complete dentures. The technique adopted the atmospheric pressure concept and augmented its effect by incorporating a uni-directional valve in the denture flange. It also involved the incorporation of a rubber ribbon in the fitting surface of the denture to maintain the required peripheral seal. The technique was evaluated objectively through retention measurement using a digital forcemeter. Results revealed that the new technique increased retention significantly, and hence could be considered an effective method in enhancing the retention of mandibular dentures, especially in cases with resorbed ridges
