“A vast contribution
in the future
of the dental research field”
Description: The Standing Committee on Research and Education within IADS is proud to assure the successful continuity of the International Dental Research Program - the first worldwide dental research exchange network which aims to transfer and foster research knowledge to the ones who desire to make a difference within their dental communities. The students will attend dental research internships which consist of assisting a dental research project developed within a foreign University partner of the IDRP network. The internships takes place for about 2 to 8 weeks, the students being selected through a rigurous selection process and eventually having the facilities covered by the host university. In 2014, 20 Universities worldwide offer research internships to talented dental students and young graduates, in: Portugal, Tunisia, Colombia, Italy, Chile, Jordan, Armenia, Poland, Czech Republic, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, USA, Russian Federation, Cyprus (North Cyprus), Turkey. The Program is a new limestone in the dental student research activity, which purposes to enlighten talented dental students who one day will be the ones to push dentistry towards innovative and more successful treatments.

Yerevan State Medical University (Armenia) Department of Prosthodontics Name of the research project: Removable partial and complete dentures Description of the project: The project is focused on methods of retention and stabilizations of complete and partial removable dentures, principles of design of removable partial dentures, laboratory stages during removable dentures fabrication.
Retention is the principle that describes how
well the denture resists the force of gravity, adhesiveness of foods and the forces associated with the opening of the jaws. Denture is prevented from moving in the vertical plane. Stability is defined as the quality of a denture to be firm or constant to resist displacement by functional stresses. Stability is the principle that describes how well the denture base is prevented from moving in the horizontal plane, withstands horizontal forces. During our research project we pay attention on the factors which affected on stability and retention: 1.Anatomical factors, which include size and quality of denture bearing area. 2. Physiological factors (viscosity of saliva).
3. Physical factors, which are adhesion, cohesion, interfacial surface tension, atmospheric pressure and peripheral seal. 4. Mechanical factors (implants, denture adhesives, clasp systems). Before designing a removable partial denture we do surveying. Objectives of surveying are the followings: 1. To design a removable partial denture such that it’s rigid and flexible components are appropriately positioned to obtain good retention and bracing. 2. To determine the path of insertion of a prosthesis such that there is no interference to insertion along this path. 3. To mark the height of contour of the area (hard and soft tissues) above the undercut. 4. To mark the survey lines (height of contour of a Explore, Discover, Improve

tooth). 5. To mark the undesirable undercuts into which the prosthesis should not extend.During laboratory stages we study casting procedures of removable partial dentures metal framework, stages of acrylic resin polimerisation. The research work will include statistical, clinical, experimental components of chair scientific work. What will be the student’s involvement within the research project? The student will observe,assist and will be directly involved in the research program.
