distal extension removable partial denture is a prosthesis with lack of distal dental support with a 13-fold difference in resiliency between the mucosa and the periodontal ligament, resulting in leverage during compression forces. it may be potentially destructive to the abutments and the surrounding tissues. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of implant location on stress distribu...

objective: this in vitro study evaluated the fracture strength and bending amount of twotypes of fiber reinforced composite (frc) and cast metal frameworks used for fabrication of inlay fixed partial dentures (ifpds). materials and methods: seventy-two extracted first maxillary premolars and molars (36 each) were embedded in acrylic resin to represent a missing of second maxillary premolar. frc...

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 ,  ...

This series of articles describes about concepts of occlusion in the complete denture, fixed partial denture, and implants. This article discusses about the evolution of different concepts of nonbalanced occlusion and occlusal schemes in complete denture occlusion.

Cantilever fixed partial dentures are defined as having one or more abutments at one end of the prosthesis while the other end is unsupported. Much controversy without documentary evidence has surrounded this prosthesis. Despite negative arguments, the cantilever prosthesis has been used extensively by the clinicians. If used nonjudiciously without following proper guidelines these might lead t...

This clinical case report details the clinical sequence of a 78-year-old male receiving prosthetic rehabilitation using an implant-supported screwretained fixed partial denture. Despite the limitations imposed, the aesthetic and functional demands of the patient were fulfilled by this prosthetic rehabilitation. The importance of detailed prosthetic planning and evaluation prior to implant surge...
