Polymeric fixed partial prosthesis represents an important part of the prosthetic treatment. Their presence in the oral cavity could lead to fracture them and to alter the final prosthetic treatment. Time Domain Optical Coherence Tomography can be used as a noninvasive evaluation method and 3D reconstructions which could generate a real forecast on those prosthesis in the oral cavity environmen...

The importance of an accurately fitting fixed prosthesis or a removable prosthesis is essential for the success of the restoration. Ill-fitting prosthesis may cause mechanical failures of the prosthesis, implant systems, or biologic complications of the surrounding tissue. There are several causes related to improper seating of the prosthesis. Some of which can be corrected and the others need ...

Introduction: Oral health related quality of life - United Kingdom (OHQoL-UK) questionnaire is one of the instrument which measure both positive and negative aspect of Oral Health related Quality of Life (OHQoL) at the same time. The aim of this study is to evaluate OHQoL with remaining teeth and other variable using OHQoL-UK questionnaire. Method and Material: This cross-sectional study was d...

Implant and prosthesis success for 77 partially edentulous patients, provided with 97 fixed prostheses, supported by 230 Brånemark implants, in place for up to 12 years (mean 5.41 years), were documented in this study. Implant losses per location mirrored their placement, with no difference between zones I and II or between the maxilla and mandible. The implant success rate was 94%, and continu...

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...

PURPOSE The aim of this article is to analyze the preference for treatment modality of dentists. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data of 20,038 patients was involved. Data analysis were done by distribution according to the various kinds of prosthesis, including complete denture, removable partial denture, fixed partial denture, implant-supported dental prosthesis as well as distribution according to th...
