The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the functionality of fixed and removable partial dentures as test interventions in relation to variations in the opposing dentition and their prosthetic restoration. The abstracts identified in the respective databases were screened independently by two investigators. RCTs and uncontrolled studies were considered, provided the patients were incl...

Prosthodontics treatments are associated with oral complaints like speech, mastication, pain, esthetics etc. Oral complaints vary among removable partial denture and complete denture wearers. The objective of this study was to investigate the common oral complaints and level of satisfaction in removable denture wearers seen to Department of Prosthodontics, Bacha Khan Medical College, Mardan. Da...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Long-term usage of fixed and removable orthodontic appliances creates a favorable environment for the augmentation of oral normal microflora particularly Candida species, which can increases the risk of periodontal lesions. The aim of this study was to assess quantitative and qualitative alterations in the carrier rate of Candida spp. after placement of fixed and remov...

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effects of removable partial dentures on the support tissues and changes occurring in lower tooth-supported and bilateral distal-extension dentures, 5 years after placement. The study involved analysis of a total of 53 patients who received prosthetic treatment for removable partial dentures. The patients were divided into two groups. In group ...

Let A be a C*-algebra with identity and supposeA has real rank 0. Suppose a complex-valued function is holomorphic and bounded on the intersection of the open unit ball of A and the identity component of the set of invertible elements of A. We show that then the function has a holomorphic extension to the entire open unit ball of A. Further, we show that this does not hold when A = C(S), where ...

Let γ(E) be the analytic capacity of a compact set E and let γ+(E) be the capacity of E originated by Cauchy transforms of positive measures. In this paper we prove that γ(E) ≈ γ+(E) with estimates independent of E. As a corollary, we characterize removable singularities for bounded analytic functions in terms of curvature of measures, and we deduce that γ is semiadditive.
