The hinged-clasp assembly removable partial denture.

Abstract

Severe undercuts and malpositioning of teeth can create problems with the path of insertion of removable partial dentures. Prostheses that have conventional clasp designs are not well-suited for these situations because a common path of placement must exist for all clasps. A technique that incorporates a hinged-clasp assembly to overcome this problem is described.

Restorative considerations for a fixed implant prosthesis using different root form implant systems.

A precise fit at the prosthesis attachment interface is necessary to assure atraumatic loading of the implant fixture. The required high degree of frame accuracy can be more difficult to achieve when a single fixed prosthesis uses different root form implant systems for support. Two clinical protocols are described for these fixed implant prostheses. The first protocol uses a semiprecision attachment for the restorations. The second protocol uses a modified abutment system and a one-piece frame design.
