PATIENT A 39-year-old female patient was admitted with mobility of maxillary anterior fixed partial denture. She was diagnosed as severe chronic periodontitis of abutment teeth of the denture, left alveolus cleft, and anterior/posterior crossbites. The crossbites were improved by prosthetic approach using an implant-supported fixed partial denture with a removable gingival veneer at the anterio...

Cantilever fixed partial dentures are defined as having one or more abutments at one end of the prosthesis while the other end is unsupported. Much controversy without documentary evidence has surrounded this prosthesis. Despite negative arguments, the cantilever prosthesis has been used extensively by the clinicians. If used nonjudiciously without following proper guidelines these might lead t...

This clinical case report details the clinical sequence of a 78-year-old male receiving prosthetic rehabilitation using an implant-supported screwretained fixed partial denture. Despite the limitations imposed, the aesthetic and functional demands of the patient were fulfilled by this prosthetic rehabilitation. The importance of detailed prosthetic planning and evaluation prior to implant surge...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of trenched zirconia bar on the von mises stress distribution of ips -empress ii core ceramics.the three-dimensional model including a three-unit bridge from the second premolar to the second molar was designed. the model was reinforced with zirconia bar (zb), zirconia bar with vertical trench (vzb) and zirconia bar with horizontal trench (hzb) ...

statement of problem: targis restorations provide good esthetic and clinical success; however, improving marginal accuracy requires further investigations. purpose: the aim of this was to study evaluate the effect of relining on the marginal accuracy of ceromer crowns. material and methods: one ivorine maxillary central incisor was prepared for targis crown. 10 acrylic models were duplicated fr...

This series of articles describes about concepts of occlusion in the complete denture, fixed partial denture, and implants. This article discusses about the evolution of different concepts of nonbalanced occlusion and occlusal schemes in complete denture occlusion.

INTRODUCTION Ever since the introduction of the minimal preparation fixed partial dentures, the major concern of the clinicians has been its longevity. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to compare the clinical performance of resin bonded cantilever bridges with conventional cantilever bridges for a period of 1 year and to evaluate the periodontal changes of abutment te...

Single-tooth replacement may be effected through various methods, including the use of a resin-bonded fixed partial denture, a conventional fixed partial denture, and a single implant-supported crown. Although the introduction of newer therapeutic modalities, surgical and restorative techniques, and restorative materials has significantly expanded available treatment options, a greater demand i...

Congenital absence of a maxillary lateral incisor occurs in many patients, and the treatment of young adults with this problem is a challenge for both prosthodontists and orthodontists. Common treatment alternatives are distalization of the canine tooth or fabrication of a conventional 3-unit fixed partial denture (FPD), a single-tooth, implantsupported crown restoration or a resinbonded fixed ...
