full mouth rehabilitation in patients with ectodermal dysplasia (ed) is difficult to manage, especially because the afflicted individuals are quite young when they are evaluated for treatment; therefore, esthetics is an important concern. this clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a 19-year-old girl diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia. eleven implants were placed in the maxilla and ma...

Abstract The implant-supported removable partial dentures should be an alternative to conventional removable partial dentures and implant-supported fixed partial prostheses when the implant’s insertion is confined by bone height and thickness. Placing a single implant in the posterior region would modify the Kennedy Class II configuration to a Kennedy Class III and increase the stability a...

statement of problem: the connector area is the weakest zone of an all-ceramic fixed partial denture (fpd), where most catastrophic failures of the prostheses tend to occur. purpose: the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of the convergence angle of abutments on the fracture resistance of three-unit fixed partial dentures made of ips-empress2. materials and methods: forty extract...

retrieving failed cemented crowns and fixed partial dentures with minimum discomfort to the patient has always been a clinical concern. this article describes a technique which will allow easy and predictable removal of these restorations.

Implants have been designed to provide edentulous patients with fixed prostheses or overdentures. Recently, implant-supported fixed partial prostheses and single crowns have become successful treatment alternatives to removable and fixed partial dentures. However, few researchers have examined "removable partial dentures on implants and natural teeth". In this article, we report two patients fi...

As every other treatment option, removable prosthesis also has some disadvantages. But with introduction of flexible partial dentures, many of the disadvantages of conventional acrylic and cast partial dentures are taken care of. This article discus...
