Utilization of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) increases in dental prosthetics. From single restorations and bridges, computer-aided engineering supports fabrication of partial and now complete removable dentures. Improved materials, like crosslinked poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and CAD/CAM technology permit realization of a superior quality denture in shorter ...

Introduction: Swing-lock framework partial removable denture is an option used as splinting in cases where there several mobility teeth. The purpose of these periodontal prostheses was to help stabilize the teeth adjuvant therapy. has more difficult construction and digital dentistry facilitates fabrication process swing-lock dentures by burn-out resin milling model making technique. Aim : This...

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effects of removable partial dentures on the support tissues and changes occurring in lower tooth-supported and bilateral distal-extension dentures, 5 years after placement. The study involved analysis of a total of 53 patients who received prosthetic treatment for removable partial dentures. The patients were divided into two groups. In group ...

The aim of this review was to investigate usage of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) such as milling and rapid prototyping (RP) technologies for removable denture fabrication. An electronic search was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases. Databases were searched from 1987 to 2014. The search was performed using a v...

The lack of retention in complete dentures is a common complaint. The incorporation of the tooth supported overdenture in prosthodontics offers improvements related to patient satisfaction and masticatory capacity compared to the conventional complete denture. Retention of the roots of one or more teeth for overdenture offers the patient a lot of advantages like better stability, proprioception...

Anterior edentulous areas usually display unusual soft tissue configurations and compromised bone support in patients with marginal mandibulectomy. There are several treatment modalities for these patients. A removable partial denture may be the treatment of choice. Maximum stability of the partial denture base for mandibulectomy patients may be accomplished by the application of the neutral zo...

Providing harmonious group function occlusion in artificial teeth either in removable partial denture or fixed partial denture is a difficult task. Developing group function needs fully adjustable articulator, which is not possible in routine clinical practice. In such cases functionally generated path technique (FGP) is ideal. It is very simple if we do it in a precise and systemic method. Onl...

The techniques used by Earl Pound for denture construction are stated, and their application to contemporary denture construction and implant-based prosthodontics is discussed. Positioning the anterior teeth using the mandibular movements of speech, the use of lingualized occlusion, and the fabrication of diagnostic provisional removable complete dentures--all hallmarks of the Pound technique--...
