Introduction

Edentulous patients complete with Ridge Flabby are cases that are often found in the clinic. However, making artificial teeth in patients with Ridge Flabby is still a challenge for dentists. Ridge Flabby is a fibrous tissue with soft consistency that is easily deformation if given a large pressure. This causes dentures to become unstable, not right, and cause discomfort for patients. The goal of this study is to analyze the distribution of complete voltage and shift of artificial dentures in patients with Ridge Flabby by using various printing techniques and the direction of chewing loads, through the finite element analysis (FEA) simulation.

The Importance of Print Techniques in Ridge Flabby

Print tray design and printing techniques in the case of Ridge Flabby are important factors that need to be considered because it has a significant impact on making complete dentures that are stable. The choice of printing technique can affect the distribution of voltage and shift in denture, which can lead to discomfort and instability for patients. In this study, we will analyze the effect of three different printing techniques, namely: window techniques, one step double spacer, and dual tray, on the distribution of complete voltage and shift of artificial dentures in patients with Ridge Flabby.

Research Methods and Results

This study was conducted by making three complete upper jaw dentures in Edentulous patients complete with Ridge Flabby, using three different printing techniques. The load given to the denture simulates the maximum bite load of the individual. The load simulation is 100 N axially and 119 N on its sloping applied in the first premolar, the second premolar, and the first jaw molar. The results show that artificial dentures with window printing techniques have the lowest von mises voltage value and the smallest shift, followed by dual tray techniques and one step double spacer.

Interpretation of Results and Recommendations

These results indicate that complete dentures made with window printing techniques have the lowest voltage and shift distribution in the Flabby area compared to other print techniques. Window printing techniques become the most ideal technique for making dentures in patients with ridge flabby. This is because the design of the print tray in the open flabby area allows print material to not press the flabby area so that deformation can be minimized. In addition, the use of Light Body Polyvinyl Siloxane printing material with consistency that does not cause mucosal deformation also contributes to optimal results.

Comparison of Printing Techniques

The results of this study show that window printing techniques have the lowest voltage and shift distribution compared to other print techniques. However, the one step double spacer and dual tray printing techniques can also be used in the case of Ridge Flabby. One step double spacer technique can be used for cases with a small degree of flabby, while the dual tray technique can be used for cases with several areas of flabby in one jaw.

Conclusion

This study shows that window printing techniques are the most ideal technique for making complete dentures in patients with flabby ridge, because they are able to minimize voltage and shift distribution in the flabby area. Thus, dentures become more stable, fit, and comfortable for patients.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Dental Medicine

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool for analyzing biomaterial behavior and dental structure. FEA can be used to simulate the behavior of dentures under various loads, including chewing loads, and can help to identify areas of high stress and potential failure.

Denture Printing Techniques

Understanding the right printing technique is very important for the success of making dentures. The choice of printing technique can affect the distribution of voltage and shift in denture, which can lead to discomfort and instability for patients.

Ridge Flabby

Ridge Flabby is a common condition found in complete edentulous patients and can affect the stability of artificial teeth. Ridge Flabby is a fibrous tissue with soft consistency that is easily deformation if given a large pressure.

Limitations of the Study

This study has several limitations. The study only analyzed three different printing techniques, and the results may not be generalizable to other printing techniques. In addition, the study only simulated the maximum bite load of the individual, and the results may not be representative of other loads.

Future Directions

Future studies should aim to analyze the effect of other printing techniques on the distribution of complete voltage and shift of artificial dentures in patients with Ridge Flabby. In addition, future studies should aim to simulate other loads, including lateral loads, to better understand the behavior of dentures under various conditions.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study shows that window printing techniques are the most ideal technique for making complete dentures in patients with flabby ridge, because they are able to minimize voltage and shift distribution in the flabby area. Thus, dentures become more stable, fit, and comfortable for patients.

Introduction

Ridge Flabby is a common condition found in complete edentulous patients and can affect the stability of artificial teeth. In this article, we will answer some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about Ridge Flabby and complete dentures.

Q: What is Ridge Flabby?

A: Ridge Flabby is a condition where the alveolar ridge, the bony structure that supports the teeth, becomes soft and flabby. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including age, genetics, and certain medical conditions.

Q: How does Ridge Flabby affect complete dentures?

A: Ridge Flabby can affect the stability of complete dentures by causing them to become loose and unstable. This can lead to discomfort, difficulty speaking and eating, and even affect the overall health of the patient.

Q: What are the symptoms of Ridge Flabby?

A: The symptoms of Ridge Flabby can include:

Loose and unstable dentures
Difficulty speaking and eating
Discomfort and pain in the jaw and mouth
Difficulty chewing and swallowing
Bad breath and gum disease

Q: How is Ridge Flabby diagnosed?

A: Ridge Flabby is typically diagnosed through a combination of clinical examination and radiographic imaging, such as X-rays and CT scans.

Q: What are the treatment options for Ridge Flabby?

A: The treatment options for Ridge Flabby depend on the severity of the condition and may include:

Denture relining or rebasing
Bone grafting to rebuild the alveolar ridge
Implant placement to support the denture
Soft tissue grafting to cover the exposed bone

Q: What are the benefits of using window printing techniques for complete dentures?

A: Window printing techniques have been shown to be effective in minimizing voltage and shift distribution in the flabby area, making them a popular choice for patients with Ridge Flabby.

Q: What are the limitations of window printing techniques?

A: While window printing techniques have been shown to be effective, they may not be suitable for all patients with Ridge Flabby. The design of the print tray in the open flabby area may not be suitable for patients with severe flabby, and the use of Light Body Polyvinyl Siloxane printing material may not be suitable for patients with sensitive mucosa.

Q: What are the future directions for research on Ridge Flabby and complete dentures?

A: Future research should aim to:

Develop new printing techniques that can minimize voltage and shift distribution in the flabby area
Investigate the use of biomaterials that can improve the stability and comfort of complete dentures
Develop new treatment options for patients with severe Ridge Flabby

Conclusion

In conclusion, Ridge Flabby is a common condition that can affect the stability of complete dentures. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for Ridge Flabby is essential for providing effective care for patients with this condition.
