Complete Denture Mandibular
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description:
A complete denture mandibular is a full set of artificial teeth designed for individuals who have lost all their teeth in the lower jaw (mandible). This solution helps restore the ability to chew, speak clearly, and maintain facial aesthetics. The complete denture is typically made from high-quality acrylic materials, often mounted on a metal framework to improve durability. These dentures are removable, allowing patients to clean them easily, and are custom-made to fit the unique contours of the patient's mouth.
The process starts with an initial consultation and oral examination. During this phase, a dental professional assesses the condition of the patient's gums, jawbone, and any remaining teeth. If necessary, any residual teeth may be extracted before the denture fitting begins. Once this preliminary step is completed, impressions of the mouth are taken, which serve as a model for creating the denture. A bite registration is also conducted to ensure that the dentures align properly with the upper teeth or any existing dental work. The dental technician then fabricates the denture based on the impressions and bite registration, ensuring that the final product is both functional and comfortable.
When the complete mandibular denture is ready, it is placed into the patient’s mouth for fitting. The dental practitioner will make adjustments to improve comfort, bite alignment, and appearance. Patients will typically experience a period of adaptation, during which they may need to visit the dentist several times to ensure optimal fit and comfort. Over time, the tissues and bone in the jaw may change, requiring further adjustments to maintain a secure fit.
Procedure Duration:
The duration of the complete denture mandibular procedure can vary depending on the patient's oral health and the type of dentures being fabricated. Typically, the entire process—from initial consultation to final fitting—takes several weeks to complete. It often involves multiple appointments, each dedicated to a specific phase of the treatment.
- Initial Consultation and Preparatory Work: The first phase involves a thorough oral exam, extraction of any remaining teeth (if necessary), and the initial impressions. This process usually takes one or two appointments, spaced a week or two apart.
- Denture Fabrication: After the impressions and bite registration, the actual fabrication of the dentures may take several weeks. During this time, the dental laboratory creates the dentures based on the patient's specifications. Some clinics offer expedited services with on-site laboratories, potentially shortening this period.
- Final Fitting and Adjustments: Once the dentures are ready, the patient returns for a fitting. At this stage, adjustments are made to ensure the dentures fit snugly and function properly. Patients may require follow-up appointments over the next few weeks or months to fine-tune the fit as their gums and bone structure adapt.
Recovery time varies depending on whether extractions were performed. For those requiring tooth extraction, the gums will need to heal before the denture can be fitted, which may take several weeks. However, most patients can begin using their dentures immediately after the final fitting, though it may take time to adjust to speaking and eating with them.

Risks & Considerations:
- Fit Issues: Over time, the gums and bone structure may change, leading to ill-fitting dentures that can cause discomfort and difficulty eating. Periodic adjustments or relining may be necessary.
- Sore Spots and Irritation: Dentures can sometimes cause irritation and sore spots, particularly during the initial adjustment period. Regular check-ups help minimize these issues.
- Bone Resorption: The absence of natural teeth can lead to bone resorption, where the jawbone gradually deteriorates over time. This may impact the fit and function of dentures.
- Difficulty Eating Certain Foods: Some patients may find it challenging to eat hard or sticky foods, which can dislodge the dentures.
- Speech Adjustment: Patients often need time to adjust their speech after receiving dentures, particularly when pronouncing certain words or sounds.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital:
When selecting a doctor or hospital for a complete denture mandibular procedure, it’s essential to consider both the qualifications and experience of the dental professionals. Look for a dentist who specializes in prosthodontics or restorative dentistry, as they will have the specific expertise needed for successful denture fabrication and fitting. It’s also crucial to check their credentials and training in dental prosthetics to ensure they are capable of delivering a high standard of care.
In addition to the doctor’s qualifications, the facility itself should be modern and equipped with advanced dental technology. Clinics with on-site laboratories may offer faster turnaround times for denture fabrication, which can be a significant advantage for medical tourists. Consider hospitals or clinics that have experience in handling international patients, offering comprehensive services such as translation assistance and travel coordination. Checking online reviews and testimonials from past patients can also provide valuable insights into the quality of care you can expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
