Magnetic attachments have been applied for various prostheses. In this report, a fixed partial denture (FPD) to which a detachable gingiva was connected by magnetic attachment was fabricated to support esthetic recovery of the alveolar bone defect and the maxillary anterior missing teeth. Missing teeth, accompanied with an alveolar bone defect, are generally recovered with a removable denture o...

Faults in dental restorations and prostheses is referred to as iatrogenic factors are common causes of gingival inflammation & periodontal destruction. These factors can easily be prevented by careful examination and proper treatment planning of the case. This report describes a case of poorly designed and cemented fixed partial denture ( FPD) & leading to osseous defect. The management include...

retrieving failed cemented crowns and fixed partial dentures with minimum discomfort to the patient has always been a clinical concern. this article describes a technique which will allow easy and predictable removal of these restorations.

background: assessment of prosthetic needs in a special population would aid in planning the oral health service programs. the aim of this study was to assess the dental prosthetic status and prosthetic needs in a sample of green marble mine laborers of udaipur, india.     methods: the study population comprised of 513 green marble mine laborers who were divided into four age groups (15-24, 25-...

The loss of anterior tooth can be hurtful to the patient both psychologically and socially. In adolescent patients, temporary replacement of teeth can minimize these concerns. Many approaches have been described for this temporary replacement. Adhesively luted, fiber-reinforced retained fixed partial denture (FPD) can be a clinical alternative for the replacement of missing anterior tooth in se...

An implant-supported crown or conventionally fixed partial denture is the most common treatment modality to replace a missing anterior tooth but a more conservative approach, with a fiber reinforced composite resin FPD, can be used to replace a missing anterior tooth in young patients or when the patient does not agree for an implant, or conventional FPD or RPD therapy. It is an esthetic, conse...

Yttrium tetragonal Zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) based systems are the more recent addition in to the high-strength all-ceramic systems that are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures. CAD/CAM produced Y-TZP based systems are being used and are said to be in demand in the aesthetic zone and in stress bearing regions as well. This systematic overview covers results of recent scientific studi...

UNLABELLED Provisional implant restorations are essential tools used to optimize the esthetic outcomes for single-tooth implant restorations. This article describes three groups of available alternatives and the specific options within each group including removable prostheses (interim removable partial denture, vacuum-formed appliance), tooth-supported prostheses (bonded extracted or denture t...

An understanding of functional responses in oral bone is a crucial component of dental biomechanics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential biological remodelling response during mastication on the mandibular pre- and post-insertion of a fixed partial denture (FPD). A series of three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) models were presented pre- and postextraction...

CONTEXT AND AIMS Long span is seen in many clinical situations; treatment planning options of these cases are difficult and may require: Fixed partial denture (FPD), removable partial denture, or implant supported prostheses. Each option has its own disadvantages: Mechanical, patient relief, and cost, respectively. This article will evaluate the stress distribution of another treatment option, ...
