Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relation between prosthetic status and quality of life of a group of institutionalised 65-74 year olds using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index. Methods: In 2010, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in Iasi, Romania, among a convenience sample of 161 residents aged 65-74 years from the St. Parascheva Retirement Centre (118 [73%] females...

The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between partially edentulous pattern and the masticatory function in removable partial denture wearers. Eighty eight removable partial denture wearers and 7 subjects with intact dentition volunteered for this study. Using the Eichner's index, all subjects were divided into 6 groups. Electromyographic (EMG) activities of the masticatory muscl...

INTRODUCTION The relatively frequent systemic comorbidities of geriatric patients can be linked to salivary changes, which may induce oral alteration and discomfort with the removable prosthesis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the salivary parameters in completely edentulous patients treated by removable prosthesis, in relation to their general health status. MATERIAL AND METHOD A cross...

Clinical observations at the University of Washington indicated that the wrought wire clasp assembly, the I-bar clasp assembly, and the L-bar clasp assembly yield similar results. A periodic recall system for patients with removable partial dentures has been in effect since 1976.
