Successful restoration of the dentition requires plenty of contemporary and conventional treatment techniques and planning and attachment retained partial dentures are one such kind of treatment modality in prosthodontics. Limited space for extracoronal attachments is a serious gap in the design and the fabrication of a precision attachment Removable Partial Denture (RPD). A custom semi-precisi...

This article reviews the literature on planning the support of bounded saddles of removable partial dentures or fixed bridges. Three-dimensional photoelastic analysis was used to examine stresses on removable partial dentures of different designs, and possible model structure changes raised for further investigation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of team-based learning (TBL) methodology on dental students' retention of knowledge regarding removable partial denture (RPD) treatment. The process of learning RPD treatment requires that students first acquire foundational knowledge and then use critical thinking skills to apply that knowledge to a variety of clinical situations. The tra...

Background: In routine prosthodontic treatment, prosthodontists may encounter patients having increased oral sensitivity to foreign objects, resulting in gagging. The present study was done to survey the patients with gag reflex needing prosthetic treatment. Materials and methods: This descriptive epidemiological investigation was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics at College of Dent...

The lack of fit of a removable partial denture has been reported as the most common problem in the treatment of patients with partial edentulism. The misfit could be a result of poor laboratory procedures, a distorted impression, or ridge remodeling after delivery. Evaluating the fit of a removable partial denture starts at the framework evaluation appointment. The evaluation consists of the fi...

It is a denture type micro electric field loading device design. The device is a removable partial denture, and there are a power supply and the electrode plate in the denture. The electrode plate embedded in the denture base, electrode embedded in the buccal and lingual base, between the base and the artificial teeth is the power supply, the power supply and both sides electrodes connected by ...

This study was performed to make comparative analysis of the clinical findings between the two different types of the implant-assisted removable partial dentures: removable partial dentures using implant surveyed bridge as an abutment (ISBRPD) and overdenture type of removable partial denture using implant attachment (IARPD). Implant cumulative survival rate, marginal bone resorption, probing d...

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effect of removable partial dentures in periodontal abutment teeth in relation to the type of denture support and design of RPD in a five-year worn period. Methods : A total of 64 patients with removable partial dentures (RPDs), participated in this study. It were examined ninety-one RPDs. There were seventy-five RPDs with clasp-retained a...
