Rebasing refers to a process of refitting of a denture by the replacement of the entire denture base with new material without changing the occlusal relations of the teeth. In a rebase procedure, denture teeth may sometimes need to be replaced.
Old Upper Complete Denture Indicated for Rebasing
Dentures are relined for the following reasons:
- to treat pressure spots
- to improve fit, re-adapt the denture
- to cushion sharp-edged alveolar processes
- to support the healing process in dental implantology
Procedure for Direct Relining of Denture with a Permanent soft relining material ( Ufi Gel P by Voco )
Voco Ufi Gel P Permanent soft A-silicone relining material
Ufi Gel P Voco kit contains base, catalyst, glazing base and catalyst, adhesive, microbrush and handle.
A good implant body should offer high initial stability, bone condensing property and allow optimal placement flexibility. It should offer less traumatic treatments and options for patients with compromised bone situations.
An Implant body inserted in an angle to achieve optiimum bone contact..
Dental implant site before Resorbable Tissue Replacement (RTR). Missing teeth are 11, 12, 13 and 21 FDI Two-Digit Notation, upper right central incisor, lateral incisor, and cuspid, upper left central incisor.
Dental Implant Site before Resorbable Tissue Replacement (RTR)
Alumina Fixed Partial Denture or all ceramic crown and bridge / restoration is significantly more esthetically pleasing than porcelain fused to metal (PFM) restorations. Gray line that is often visible under PFM crown and bridge is eliminated in all-ceramic restoration. All-ceramic substructure preserves the luminosity of the underlying remaining tooth resulting in more natural appearance, as compared to PFM crown and bridge.
Under very bright light, Porcelain Fused to Metal FPD shows shadow effect from the metal.
Porcelain Fused to Metal Fixed Partial Denture, which is the final restoration, was delivered from dental lab. The final restoration is expected to blend imperceptibly as it exhibits the characteristics of natural dentition.
Porcelain FPD Final Restoration
Interim restoration or provisionals which was created that closely mimicked the projected final restoration – Porcelain Fused to Metal Fixed Partial Denture, in form, shading and surface textures. It was placed after tooth prep appointment and it will be worn by the patient until the final restoration is delivered. Interim FPD is necessary for protection of the abutment teeth, maintenance of space, appearance and to condition the patient for FPD placement.
Temporary Crown and Bridge
Porcelain dental crown for tooth number 21 FDI Two-Digit Notation (upper left central incisor).
Tooth number 21 was prepared to receive a dental crown.
Porcelain fused to metal crown and bridge will be constructed for a 26 year old female patient. Missing teeth are 11, 12, 21 and 22 FDI Two-Digit Notation (upper right central incisor and lateral incisor, upper left central incisor and lateral incisor). The photos were taken after oral prophylaxis and tooth prep of 13 and 23 were performed.
Porcelain FPD : Tooth Prep
Upper or maxillary removable partial denture in acrylic denture base with gold mesh. Remaining teeth are 11, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 24 and 26, FDI Two-Digit Notation. Natura Tone is the brand of denture teeth used. The patient is 26 year old female.
