High impact information on Denture Retention

When a fibular graft is placed only at the inferior border of the mandible, the resulting vertical discrepancy between the graft segment and the occlusal plane can adversely affect implant mechanics or denture stability and retention [1].
Hydroxyapatite is a biocompatible material for augmentation of edentulous ridges to improve patient comfort and denture stability [2].

Associations of Denture Retention with chemical compounds

Objective data were collected on the number of denture ulcers, the number of occlusal contacts, and denture retention during eccentric movements [3].
It can be concluded that hydroxyapatite is biocompatible, causes minimal inflammatory response, and can increase denture retention [4].
