Acrylic partial dentures.

Acrylic removable partial dentures are routinely used in everyday clinical practice. However, there is concern that if they are not correctly designed that damage may result to the soft and hard tissues leading to tooth loss. This article reviews the potential damage that may occur from the use of acrylic dentures. Methods of improving the design features and construction of acrylic RPDs to minimize damage and improve longevity of the remaining teeth will be demonstrated.

Effect of instruction and motivation on dental knowledge and behavior among wearers of partial dentures.

Patients receiving partial dentures were divided into three groups. One "maximum" group was taught and motivated, both individually and as a group, as thoroughly as possible. The second "medium" group was given instruction sheets describing the essential facts related to the cleaning and maintenance of teeth and dentures., but no individual instruction and motivation were provided. In the third "minimum" group the obtaining of information was left entirely to the initiative of the patients themselves. By the end of the period of treatment, the patients' knowledge was in proportion to the amount of teaching they had received. As regards dental health behavior, the groups did not differ significantly from one another, although there were some indications that increased knowledge and motivation had promoted positive oral hygiene habits. A year after the completion of treatment the positive behavior habits were markedly fewer in all groups, and no longer bore any relation to the amount or type of instruction or motivation given.

Interim complete immediate dentures for a patient wearing removable partial dentures.

This article describes a technique used for fabricating temporary (interim) complete dentures for a patient who had been wearing removable partial dentures and whose remaining teeth were to be extracted. Rather than attempt to incorporate the existing removable partial dentures into the interim complete dentures, the dentist used the existing dentures to fabricate acrylic resin teeth for the interim prosthesis.

Death from ingestion of removable partial denture: a case report.

OBJECTIVE: to illustrate the danger of using acrylic denture as removable partial denture in a developing country. METHOD: post mortem examination was performed on a man who died after ingesting removable partial denture. RESULTS: A removable partial denture was seen seated in the mid portion of the oesophagus with its lateral wings deeply embedded in the wall of the oesophagus causing laceration and severe haemorrhage. CONCLUSION: The radiolucent nature of acrylic denture may prevent early diagnosis and intervention when it is ingested or aspirated. There is need for proper education of patients wearing partial denture in especially the acrylic type.

Esthetic considerations with removable partial dentures.

The reduction in partial edentulism that has occurred due to successful preventive procedures and the predictable use of osseointegrated implants has reduced the need for removable partial dentures. However, for a variety of reasons, many patients can continue to benefit from partial denture therapy; and these patients deserve the best esthetic result possible. The primary esthetic objection to removable partial denture therapy is the unsightly display of the clasp assemblies. This article describes three strategies that can be used by the discriminating clinician to eliminate the display of the clasp assembly and provide an esthetic and functional removable prosthesis.
