Systematic Review
Clinical remounting of complete dentures: A systematic review.
Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry 2019 April
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: A recent trend has been to reduce the procedural complexity of complete denture fabrication. Whether the clinical remount step is necessary is unclear.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the relevance of the clinical remount procedure on complete denture outcomes.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Five electronic databases were searched through to May 2018. The terms "denture*", "dental prosthes*", "equilibrat*", and "remount*" were chosen. The titles and abstracts were screened, and those which met the inclusion criteria were selected for full-text assessment. Studies that only performed the laboratory remount or were not randomized controlled studies were excluded.
RESULTS: After duplicate removal, the database search strategy resulted in a total of 226 potential studies. After the titles and abstracts had been screened and the inclusion and exclusion criteria applied, 10 studies were retrieved for full-text assessment. Four randomized controlled clinical studies were included in the systematic review. A meta-analysis could not be performed because of variation in outcome measures after the clinical remount.
CONCLUSIONS: A clinical remount for complete dentures is recommended on delivery to reduce clinically observed areas of discomfort and reduce the number of recall appointments. The development of a reliable and valid patient satisfaction questionnaire is necessary to determine conclusively whether the clinical remount also improves patient-perceived satisfaction and mastication.
