In this article, the authors explored technical, biological, and satisfaction variables for the functioning of RPDs after five years, and compared the evaluation by the patient and by the clinician.Abstract:
Most removable partial denture (RPD) wearers are satisfied with their prostheses, but the factors that influence satisfaction and acceptance are still not determined. OBJECTIVE: This study explored technical, biological, and satisfaction variables for the functioning of RPDs after five years, and compared the evaluation by the patient and by the clinician. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifty adults (39 females, 11 males) were re-examined after five years of RPD service. Data were collected through clinical examination and a structured questionnaire to record the conditions of supporting soft tissues, prosthesis acceptance and technical characteristics, mastication, esthetics, comfort, hygiene, and need for professional intervention. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation. RESULTS: More than 50% of patients classified their RPDs as excellent regarding retention, mastication, esthetics, comfort, and hygiene. In the professional evaluation, retention and stability were considered excellent in more than 66% of cases, and hygiene of teeth and prostheses was considered good in 52% and 46%, respectively. The metallic framework and acrylic base were considered adapted in 92% of cases. Prosthesis acceptance was associated with retention, mastication, esthetics, hygiene, and comfort evaluated by the patient, and with retention, stability, and condition of the framework evaluated by the clinician. Retention and mastication/comfort evaluated by the patient had moderate positive correlation with retention and stability measured by the clinician. There was no association of hygiene evaluation by the patient and by the clinician. CONCLUSIONS: After five years, the oral rehabilitation with RPDs was satisfactory for most cases. There was correspondence between retention/retention and mastication-comfort/stability variables evaluated by the patient and by the clinician. Oral and prosthesis hygiene were not related.read more

TL;DR: Implant-retained overdentures provide a seemingly acceptable quality of life in the elderly population studied, irrespective of the influence of the location, retention system, and antagonist.

Oral health impact profile and prosthetic condition in edentulous patients rehabilitated with implant-supported overdentures and fixed prostheses.
TL;DR: It was concluded that both types of prostheses were perceived as being equally satisfactory by edentulous patients, and that the condition of the prostheses did not influence individual satisfaction in terms of rehabilitation.

TL;DR: The average visual analog scale scores were high for both expectation prior to treatment and satisfaction after treatment; however, the scores for expectations were higher than those for satisfaction.

Retention of telescopic denture in elderly patients with maximum partially edentulous arch
TL;DR: The goal of this study was to establish the exact value of the individual and total retention force of the completed telescopic system, which showed different values of separation force - from very low values to those exceeding optimal limits.

TL;DR: The mean age of the patients was 52.9 years with higher prevalence of female patients; the most frequent Kennedy's classification was Class I in mandible and Class III in maxilla;The most common major connector was anterior-posterior palatal bar for maxilla and lingual bar for mandible; the circumferential clasps were the most common retainer used in both jaws.

TL;DR: A 10-year longitudinal study was carried out on 27 patients treated with lower bilateral distal-extension dentures, most of which were carefully planned and designed, and the aim was a high level of cooperation as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: RPD design plays an important role in the state of the periodontium, and Appropriate design and good oral hygiene may decrease the appearance of periodontal disease.

TL;DR: Oral hygiene was good, and the periodontal status was maintained in both groups, however, the need for dental and prosthetic follow-up treatment was more pronounced in the RPD group than in the FPD group.

TL;DR: Masticatory efficiency and the subjective experience of masticatory performance increased significantly when the subjects were provided with new dentures, but no changes were found in the dietary intake.

Influence of occlusal rest position and clasp design on movement of abutment teeth
TL;DR: The I bar retentive clasp, when placed at the point of greatest circumference of the tooth and used in conjunction with a mesio-occlusal rest or anterior rotation point, will exert no adverse or torquing force on the abutment tooth.
