The role of the overlay denture in the prevention of mandibular ridge atrophy.

The overlay denture concept may be used to postpone and in some cases avoid the atrophied mandibular ridge syndrome. The co-operation of the patient is a vital factor for success and the treatment regimen is divided into a series of self-contained stages to allow the patient to demonstrate his mastery of each before proceeding to the next. Function in the edentate can be enhanced by the use of this type of denture.

The partial denture over a fixed guide bar appliance: a technique for restoring partially edentulous quadrants. Case report.

Replacement of a number of lost teeth in partially edentulous quadrants has been accomplished using a technically simple Tissue-borne, Partial Denture over a Fixed Bar (PDOFB) Appliance. The appliance offers a similar degree of comfort and aesthetic appeal to that of a fixed bridge, but is specifically designed to reduce the high occlusal loads that normally are applied to the abutment teeth during mastication. It has been used where, because of the excessive distance between the abutment teeth, or because of the poor periodontal health of the abutment teeth, the construction of conventional crowns and bridges was contraindicated. The indications for, and the construction of such an appliance are described.

Immediate or transitional complete dentures: gerodontic considerations.

Ageing society is a worldwide phenomenon, especially in western countries, were the proportion of the aged population reaches about 20%. Of this group about 50% constitute what is termed the old-old frail persons who suffer drastic physiological changes which exacerbate difficulties in classic dental and prosthetic treatments. Epidemiological surveys point out that many of the elderly present with about 12-14 teeth with bad periodontal conditions that should be extracted. As a result, special strategies have to be elaborated to give an appropriate solution to specific medical and prosthetic conditions. Transitional procedures are necessary to assure the smooth change between removable partial dentures and complete dentures. Even when implant supported dentures are planed this transition period is necessary. Clinical decision making is crucial to avoid stress to these medically compromised patients.

A clinical overview of removable prostheses: 3. Principles of design for removable partial dentures.

Removable partial dentures (RPDs) should not be made for patients unless they are necessary. Most partial dentures have the potential to cause some damage to the teeth and supporting tissues, however well they are designed and constructed; the criteria for selecting such devices were described in a previous article. In general there is merit in, wherever possible, reducing tissue coverage as much as possible when RPDs are being planned. This article, the third in a series on the prescription of RPDs, discusses the design principles involved.

The distal extension base denture.

The distal extension base denture may be indicated in situations in which the edentulous area to be restored is without a terminal abutment tooth. There may be significant challenges in providing a prosthesis with sufficient support and retention to make it comfortable without damaging the intra-oral tissues. This can be a greater problem in the mandible as the denture-bearing area is usually much smaller than in the maxilla. This paper considers how distal extension removable prostheses can be designed to restore edentulous spaces.

The swing-lock denture: its use in conventional removable partial denture prosthodontics.

This article describes the uses of the swing-lock retained removable partial denture in partially dentate patients where the potential for achievable retention with a conventionally designed removable partial denture is less than adequate. The article presents two case reports detailing effective use of the swing-lock concept in removable partial denture design and it is hoped that this article will increase the awareness of practitioners to the use of this prosthesis type when planning removable partial dentures.

Use of teeth with a poor prognosis in cleft palate prosthodontics.

Patients who have unoperated or incomplete closure of their clefts and who have only a few teeth of poor prognosis remaining are a challenge to the prosthodontist. Two cases have been presented to illustrate treatment techniques that can be used for such patients.

Combination prosthesis for optimum esthetic appearance.

A method of treatment that combines the advantages of both a removable partial denture and a fixed partial denture is described. The indications, contraindications, advantages, and special considerations are discussed. The procedures necessary for treatment of patients are described. Our observations indicate that this is an acceptable mode of treatment for those patients in need of this type of prosthesis.

The 'fixed' removable partial denture: report of case.

Careful monitoring of tissue that had been the site of three previous surgical procedures was necessary, but the patient needed a functional, esthetically acceptable prosthesis. The Andrews bridge was selected because it combines the stabilizing qualities of a fixed prosthesis with the accessibility to the tissues of a removable prosthesis. The recurring nature of the verrucous carcinoma along with extensive tissue loss were additional factors in selecting this appliance. The final results satisfied all the criteria. The patient has been seen at regular follow-up visits for 2 years since the last surgical procedure and there has been no clinical change in the previously involved tissue. The patient has tolerated the prosthesis well and is satisfied with her appearance.

Use of osseointegrated implants to support a maxillary denture for a patient with repaired cleft lip and palate.

Although many cleft lip and palate patients retain their dentition, some develop partial or complete edentulism. The configuration of the residual maxillary alveolar ridge may provide little support for a complete or partial maxillary denture. The success of the Branemark dental implant has been well established, and although placement of implants in the maxilla may present a surgical challenge, implants are very effective in providing support and, therefore, retention and stability. Application of implants to the cleft palate maxilla is particularly valuable because of the difficulty in constructing well-fitting conventional dentures for CLP patients, and the relatively compromised nature of the prostheses when made. This report presents the prosthetic treatment of a nearly edentulous cleft lip and palate patient.
