Lack of adequate support (tooth/soft tissue) results in displacement of bilateral and unilateral distal extension removable partial dentures. Placement of implants is one option for managing this problem. The aim of this report is to describe fabrication of a mandibular removable partial denture supported by 2 unilateral distal implants with locater attachments. The patient was a 70-year-old ma...

A 66-year-old man visited our department with the chief complaint of poor esthetics due to loss of a fixed partial denture in a maxillary incisor tooth and difficulty in mastication due to an ill-fitting, mandibular removable partial denture. An analysis of the occlusal vertical dimension resulted in a diagnosis of infraocclusion. After increasing vertical dimension with a provisional restorati...

INTRODUCTION Denture ingestion or aspiration is a problem requiring awareness of different specialists including dentists, surgeons, otolaryngologists, anesthesiologists etc. in terms of prevention, early diagnosis and adequate treatment. Complications of swallowed dentures include hollow viscus necrosis, perforation, penetration to neighbor organs leading to fistulae, bleeding and obstruction....

T he removable partial denture (RPD) continues to be an essential prosthetic consideration in many oral reconstructions, especially when edentulous ridges posterior to a patient’s remaining teeth are to be restored. Posterior distal extension partial denture bases present a number of design challenges. Of particular concern is the equitable distribution of forces to maintain remaining alveolar ...

Over time, removable dentures tend to become unsanitary and emit unpleasant odors, and oral mucosa sometimes becomes inflamed or denture stomatitis is caused by denture plaque. Recently, various cleaning products designed to keep removable dentures sanitary have appeared on the market. It is known that denture plaque is mainly composed of Candida albicans (C. albicans), and that ozone seems to ...

In the idea of improving the performances of both full and removable partial dentures, new materials and technologies are coming on the market, promising a better quality. Thermoplastic materials are used more and more widely in the technology of complete or removable partial dentures due to their superior qualities. Thermoplastic resins are suitable for manufacturing a wide range of removable ...

background:  the metal  framework  of a removable partial denture includes various parts and metal components that supply strength, retention, stability ,  and support of partial denture.  the purpose of this study is assessing the quality of the frameworks made in  the  department of prosthodontics, qazvin school of  dentistry , regarding  their causes of malfunction,  retention, stability ,  ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of differences in the retainer design on load on abutment teeth and displacement of the denture base in mandibular unilateral extension base partial removable dental prosthesis to determine the optimum design for a mechanically appropriate retainer. METHODS Three models were used. Each incorporating a removable denture with differen...

offer many practical advantages over conventional complete dentures and removable partial dentures. These include decreased bone resorption; reduced or eliminated prosthesis movement; better esthetics; improved tooth position; better occlusion, including improved occlusal load direction, increased occlusal function and maintenance of the occlusal vertical dimension. In addition, implantImplant-...
