making impression to obtain an accurate working cast needs to use accurate impression materials such as polyether. on the other hand, polyether cannot be used easily in places with undercut such as excessive interproximal spaces and under the pontics of fixed partial dentures as it may be locked in these free spaces. in this article, a method is presented to blockout interproximal spaces in ord...

Introduction: Clasp is an important component in a removable partial denture. Conventional clasps are usually made of metal alloys. The patient refuses to have clasp due the unaesthetic color that affects their appearance. This article aims determine types other than those Overview: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) ketone-based crystalline thermoplastic resin commonly used dentistry for crowns, impl...

This consist eight questions regrading CPDs dentists in Maharashtra which sent them through electronic communication. reason behind downtrend advanced treatment options such as implants, fixed dentures. Also, high fabrication cost and aesthetics are...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the status of supporting tissue around implant-supported fixed partial denture with or without cantilever clinically and radiographically during a four-year period. materials and methods: one hundred and fifty nine patients who were treated by 482 implants supported fixed partial prosthesis with and without cantilever after at least f...

INTRODUCTION Ever since the introduction of the minimal preparation fixed partial dentures, the major concern of the clinicians has been its longevity. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to compare the clinical performance of resin bonded cantilever bridges with conventional cantilever bridges for a period of 1 year and to evaluate the periodontal changes of abutment te...

Congenital absence of a maxillary lateral incisor occurs in many patients, and the treatment of young adults with this problem is a challenge for both prosthodontists and orthodontists. Common treatment alternatives are distalization of the canine tooth or fabrication of a conventional 3-unit fixed partial denture (FPD), a single-tooth, implantsupported crown restoration or a resinbonded fixed ...

Single-tooth replacement may be effected through various methods, including the use of a resin-bonded fixed partial denture, a conventional fixed partial denture, and a single implant-supported crown. Although the introduction of newer therapeutic modalities, surgical and restorative techniques, and restorative materials has significantly expanded available treatment options, a greater demand i...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture resistance of implant-supported all-ceramic fixed partial dentures, which have three different pontic designs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two implants were placed in a metal model simulating mandibular left second premolar and mandibular left second molar. Thirty standardized 3-unit all-ceramic fixed partial dentures with biconvex, con...
