RESULTS OF TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH FULL ABSENCE OF TEETH PROSTHESIS MADE BY THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL «DEFLEX ACRYLATO»

Abstract

One of the most important criteria of assessing of the quality manufactured prostheses and the functional state of dentoalveolar system is restoration of the degree of chewing efficiency. Chewing efficiency is determined by the help of classical methods, and by the help of modern technologies and mostly depends on the quality of the manufactured structures. The production of qualitative complete removable prostheses is dependent on the properties of the basic material. The main group of materials for the manufacturing of such structures is acrylic plastics of hot polymerization. Orthopedists often use thermoplastic plastics for manufacturing of complete removable prostheses nowadays. These basic materials allow avoiding the disadvantages of acrylic base plastics, and improving the functional qualities of removable dentures.
 Aim. The work is concerned with study in the clinic of orthopedic dentistry the results of treatment of patients with complete absence of teeth with prostheses made of thermoplastic material «Deflex Acrylato», using various functional tests.
 Materials and methods. During all the work, the thermoplastic plastic «Deflex Acrylato» was used. The quality evaluation of all our designs was carried out with the help of an objective – subjective test «BOFSAC», determination of biopotentials of masticatory muscles with the help of electromyography and determination of masticatory efficiency according to I.S. Rubinov.
 Results. As a result of our work, it can be determined that the use of the basic thermoplastic material «Deflex Acrylato» allows achieving better fixation and stabilization of complete removable prostheses, which is subjectively confirmed by the «BOFSAC» test, objectively – data of electromyographic studies and time indices of the masticatory test by I.S. Rubinov.
 Conclusions. Based on the results of our studies, one can conclude that adaptation to prosthesis made from the basic thermoplastic material «Deflex Acrylato» is short-timed and almost painless.
