Abstract

Introduction: Although the high development of the implantology field, the risks of the surgical procedures, possible complications and the high cost of the implant-prosthetic restorations have made that the removable dentures treatment are still an important option treatment for edentulous patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the existing literature regarding the patient’s satisfaction regarding two different types of dentures: dentures constructed with the traditional compression molding technique and dentures constructed with the injection molding technique.

Methodology: A search in PubMed was done first with the following words: injection And molding And denture.143 results were found. A second search was done with the following key words: Ivocap And dentures. 54 results were identified. A third search was done with the words: processing And denture And comparison, from which 322 data resulted. The fourth search was done with the key words: denture And satisfaction. 2033 results were found.

Results and Conclusion: Based on the evaluation of the current literature there is no data in the patient satisfaction term related with the two different processing techniques of the removable dentures. Further studies are encouraged to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each method, especially in the patient satisfaction term.
