A Clinical-statistical Study of Oral Mucosa Pathology Induced by the Acrylic Resins from Removable Dentures in Older Patients

摘要

The puropose of this paper was the approaching the patology of the oral mucosa in older patients, induced by acrylic resins in removable dentures. Prosthetics resolves many problems in older adults (mastication, aesthetics, phonation, etc.) but the wearing of dentures has consequences on all the living tissues in contact with them. The reactions of buccal mucosa are the result of mechanic irritations, plaque build-up and of toxic and/or allergic action of the denture materials, therefore the field cannot be neglected. An essential aspect of the clinic goal of removable prosthetic restorations is the consistency between the biomaterials used, their biological integration, the approached technological line, and the particularity of the prosthetic field of the older patient.
