Three treatment options exist for the replacement of congenitally missing lateral incisors: canine substitution, a tooth-supported restoration, or a single-tooth implant. Selecting the appropriate treatment option depends on the malocclusion, the anterior relationship, specific space requirements, and the condition of the adjacent teeth. The ideal treatment is the most conservative alternative ...

Multiple treatment options are available for replacement of a missing anterior tooth, each with its own pros and cons. This case report aims to describe the use conservative cost-effective approach replacing mandibular tooth periodontally compromised abutment teeth. Here we in which single was minimally prepared Cantilevered Metal Resin-Bonded Fixed Partial Denture. provides brief literature re...

AIM This clinical report describes a conventional resin-based fixed partial denture for a 42-year-old woman to close an edentulous space in the region of the second maxillary premolar. While the first maxillary molar had been crowned with porcelain fused to metal (PFM) system 10 years ago and the first premolar was intact and sound except for a small carious lesion in the distal aspect. The ess...

The present prime concern in dentistry is on preservation of remaining natural teeth. Presence of few teeth in oral cavity help in preserving alveolar ridge integrity, maintain the proprioception, and gives psychological benefit to the patient. Transitional denture provides us with alternative treatment plan for the patients willing to replace their missing teeth while retaining their very few ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the porosities in the mandibular acrylic denture bases processed by heat and microwave polymerization techniques, using two different brands of commercially available denture base resins. MATERIALS & METHODS Two brands of heat activated denture base resins, DPI plain and Acralyn H cross linked denture base resins designed for conven...

statement of problem: the question about resistance of resin composites under rest in removable partial denture (rpd) is still unanswered. it is important to find the strongest material that withstands the applied stresses when used under rpd components. objectives: to evaluate and compare the fatigue behavior of amalgam and composite restorations used under the rest of the removable partial de...

Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) denture base manufacturers claim to produce their resin pucks under high heat and pressure. Therefore, CAD/CAM dentures are assumed to have enhanced mechanical properties and, as a result, are often produced with lower denture base thicknesses than conventional, manually fabricated dentures. The aim of this study was to investigat...

UNLABELLED Provision of partial and complete dentures constructed from resin is commonplace and a satisfactory outcome requires the consideration of the properties of the resin, the oral tissues and prosthodontic principles. This second of a two-part series examines the advantages and disadvantages of flexible nylon denture base resins, which have found popularity for the provision of partial d...
