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 ...

Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder characterized by the absence or defect of two or more ectodermally derived structures. These structures include teeth, hair, skin, nails, and sweat glands. Oligodontia, anodontia, and dysmorphic teeth have been reported in both the primary and permanent dentition of affected individuals. Hair tends to be sparse and very fine while skin is dry due to...

Statement of the problem Many partially edentulous situations are present whereby the choice between a removable and a fixed partial denture lies within the delicate balance of a single standing abutment. This abutment is called as a pier abutment. If and when a fixed fixed prosthesis is given in such a case, the retainer over the pier abutment acts as a fulcrum and invariably leads to cement f...

This article reviews the dental literature concerning the potential impact of the removable prosthesis (RP) on the health status of patients with certain systemic diseases. Literature was surveyed using Medline/PubMed database resources, as well as a manual search, up to 2015 to identify appropriate articles that addressed the aim of this review. The research used keywords about associations be...

Hanau’s laws and the so-called articulation quintet have contributed greatly to the evolution of the prosthetic dentistry and have been further elaborated by various authors. The main aim of this study was to establish the stability of prosthetic plates by attaining balanced occlusion. Several authors have addressed the problem of removable and fixed prostheses by classifying mandibular movemen...

Loss of variable amount soft and hard tissueis often an inevitable consequence missing teeth.Prosthetic rehabilitation large anterior alveolar ridge defects is a challenge to the clinician.1 Such require not just replacement teeth, but also closure defective area so as achieve proper speech aesthetics. Fixed removable partial dentures are indicated for patients with extensive tissue loss when a...

Complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses are known to be an excellent solution for edentulism. Although new, stronger materials have evolved, the metal-resin prosthesis using a combination of cast or mi...
