MONITORING MICROCIRCULATION IN THE PALATAL MUCOSA BENEATH AN UPPER COMPLETE DENTURE USING A LASER DOPPLER FLOWMETRY: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
Older edentulous adults often rely on mucosa-supported complete dentures (CDs) due to limitations that preclude implant therapy. Although an adequate retention of maxillary CD is essential for functional efficiency, compression of the palatal mucosa during impression making may compromise palatal mucosal microcirculation during denture wear. T...
