The likelihood of complications with removable dentures with silver nanoparticles

Relevance. The study of emerging complications in the orthopedic treatment of patients using various designs of removable dentures is one of the relevant topics. In this regard, silver nanoparticles are currently being widely studied, due to their wide spectrum of action and physico-chemical properties.Objective: to determine the frequency of complications in patients with removable acrylic prosthetic structures with silver nanoparticles included, depending on the types and localization of prostheses.Object and methods. 58 patients (mean age 60.6±3.14 years) with partial and complete adentia were examined. The condition of the oral mucosa was assessed according to the Supple classification, the toothless upper jaw - according to the Schroeder classification, the toothless lower jaw - according to the Keller classification. Prostheses made on the basis of acrylic plastic Fluorax were used. 0.01-0.03 wt was injected into the acrylic polymer.% nanocrystalline silver.Conclusion. The most common complications are: loss of retention of the prosthesis, discomfort and pain associated with subsequent ulceration. There were no significant differences in determining the chance of complications depending on the type of prosthesis.
