Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Characterization of the complete dentures is necessary to give the dentures a life like appearance, to make it appear more natural. Every denture should be characterized according to the particular patient, rather than doing a pearl like arrangement of artificial teeth with a twinkling, plane sheet of acrylic resin denture base which quickly reveals it to be false. Complete dentures can be characterized by two basic methods, characterization by selection, arrangement and modification of artificial teeth and characterization by tinting the denture bases. A case report of management of a patient who is not satisfied with function and esthetics of fake looking denture was carried out. Conventional complete dentures with teeth arrangement based on SPA concept and characterization of denture base was the treatment imparted. e patient was happy and satisfied with the teeth arrangement, occlusion and the esthetics of the new, better and more natural looking dentures as it gave patient a more natural look. Summary: Characterization is a procedure in which the character or collective qualities of a person are introduced in the complete denture, to make it appear more natural for that particular person. Characterization of the complete dentures is necessary to give the dentures a life like appearance, to make it appear more natural. A patient who was dissatisfied with her old denture due to its poor function and esthetics, especially the fake looking denture was managed by providing conventional complete dentures with teeth arrangement based on SPA concept and characterization of denture base with melanin pigment in the cervical and attached gingiva area. e denture flanges were transparent to reflect the underlying ridge color. Patient was satisfied with her new, better and more natural looking dentures. It improved patient's confidence and provided psychological acceptance of complete dentures.
