Prosthetic periodontal treatment with a fixed partial prosthesis has been carried tients affected by severe periodontitis in order to restore dentition to good health, function, and esthetics. The literature has proven that the biological capability of teeth with a reduced but healthy periodontium successfully supports a fixed partial prosthesis over time. In gren demonstrated that fixed bridge...

introduction: periodontal disease is one of the most important diseases in health topics. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of periodontal treatment on quality of life. materials and methods: in this quasi-experimental, interventional study, 45 patients with chronic periodontitis were asked to complete the “quality of life” questionnaire before starting the treatment and four mo...

At the interface between the jawbone and the roots of natural teeth, a thin, elastic, shock-absorbing tissue, called the periodontal ligament, forms a cushion which provides certain flexibility under mechanical loading. The dental restorations supported by implants, however, involve comparatively rigid connections to the jawbone. This causes overloading of the implant while bearing functional l...

Restoration of lost interdental papilla remains one of the most challenging goals for clinicians. When a single tooth is replaced with an implant, the papilla between the tooth and the implant can often be maintained or predictably reconstructed as long as the periodontal attachment and bone of the adjacent tooth is preserved. However, if the periodontal support is compromised on the neighborin...

The aim of the current review was to investigate the implications of the surface and bulk properties of abutment implants and their degradation in relation to periodontal health. The success of dental implants is no longer a challenge for dentistry. The scientific literature presents several types of implants that are specific for each case. However, in cases of prosthetics components, such as ...

In several clinical studies on RPDs, great attention was paid to the occurrence of reactions in periodontal tissues. Some early studies reported extensive periodontal breakdown, often a short time after insertion of a prosthesis. Other studies reported moderate or practically no harmful periodontal changes. In articles on causes of periodontal breakdown related to RPDs, the three main factors d...

PURPOSE This retrospective study investigated the survival rate of 174 clasp-retained removable partial dentures (CR-RPDs) made at the Department of Prosthodontics of the Regensburg University Medical Center over a 25-year period (1984 to 2009). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study analyzed the frequency of and time to the fracture of clasps, connectors, or denture bases; the occurrence of caries ...

BACKGROUND Although, dental implants have been a predictable option to support several types of restorations, mechanical problems are not uncommon. Retaining and abutment screw loosenings/fractures are one of the most common technical problems. AIM To present a step-by-step technique in order to remove a broken locater abutment screw fragment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 56-year-old, edentulous...

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...
