This study was performed to make comparative analysis of the clinical findings between the two different types of the implant-assisted removable partial dentures: removable partial dentures using implant surveyed bridge as an abutment (ISBRPD) and overdenture type of removable partial denture using implant attachment (IARPD). Implant cumulative survival rate, marginal bone resorption, probing d...

The lack of fit of a removable partial denture has been reported as the most common problem in the treatment of patients with partial edentulism. The misfit could be a result of poor laboratory procedures, a distorted impression, or ridge remodeling after delivery. Evaluating the fit of a removable partial denture starts at the framework evaluation appointment. The evaluation consists of the fi...

Acrylic resin bases of removable dentures attract stains and odor-producing organic and inorganic deposits. The use of chemical denture cleanser soaks is the most popular method of denture cleansing. This study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of two different denture cleansers--sodium perborate (Clinsodent) and sodium hypochlorite (VI-Clean)--in removing tea, coffee, turmeric and tobacco...

INTRODUCTION: Recent researches have shown that, in principle, computer-assisted design, computer-assisted manufacture and rapid prototype technologies (CAD/CAM/RP) can be successfully applied to the fabrication of removable partial denture (RPD) alloy frameworks and replace laboratory crafting techniques. The CAD/CAM techniques have been widely used for a long time to manufacture dental prosth...

Objective. To quantify effects on occlusion and temporomandibular function of mandibular distal extension removable partial dentures in shortened dental arches. Methods. Subjects wearing mandibular extension removable partial dentures (n = 25) were compared with subjects with shortened dental arches without extension (n = 74) and with subjects who had worn a mandibular extension removable parti...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction with removable prostheses and its relationship with denture quality. METHODS AND MATERIALS Sixty-seven patients who received 119 new removable prostheses over a period of one year at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University, were recalled for an interview with regard to their satisfaction with their dentures and a clin...

Various dental implants have been used, and high success rates have been reported. However, as their uses increase, implant failures have been reported. There are partially edentulous patients with an initial treatment plan of an implant-supported fixed partial denture. At times, one or more strategic implants fail to osseointegrate. In situations where financial, systemic, or local conditions ...

Background and Aim: Different attachment designs have been developed to connect implant to natural teeth in partial dentures; however, adequate studies have not been performed to determine stress distribution patterns in these designs. The present study aimed to assess stress distribution patterns in natural tooth and implant supported removable partial denture with different attachment designs...
