Unilateral removable partial dentures

British Dental Journal, 2017
Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are widely used to replace missing teeth in order to restore both function and aesthetics for the partially dentate patient. Conventional RPD design is frequently bilateral and consists of a major connector that bridges both sides of the arch. Some patients cannot and will not tolerate such an extensive appliance.

Fixed-removable partial denture

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1982
Abstract The technique and rationale have been presented for the fixed-removable partial denture. This type of denture has qualities of both the fixed partial denture and the removable partial denture and is indicated where the abutments would support a fixed partial denture but a severe defect is present in the edentulous space.

Soldering of removable partial dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1983
Both high- and low-heat removable partial denture alloys were soldered with combinations of different solders and heat sources. The soldered specimens were subjected to tensile strength testing, and a ranking of joint strength was developed. Joint strengths that were 85% as strong as the as-cast metal were created in both alloy types when 0.800 fine ...

Stressbreakers and the removable partial denture

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1975
A laboratory study was designed to determine the effect of ""deactivation'' of stressbreakers on abutment tooth movement and ridge displacement. The Ticonium hidden-lock and the pin-Dalbo precision stressbreakers were tested. Results showed that ridge displacement was significantly decreased when the Dalbo was made rigid, and tooth movement was ...

Successful removable partial dentures

Dental Update, 2012
Removable partial dentures (RPDs) remain a mainstay of prosthodontic care for partially dentate patients. Appropriately designed, they can restore masticatory efficiency, improve aesthetics and speech, and help secure overall oral health. However, challenges remain in providing such treatments, including maintaining adequate plaque control, achieving ...

Retention for a Removable Partial Denture

Journal of Prosthodontics, 1992
This article addresses the complex nature of retention in a removable partial denture. Retentive features range from magnets and springs to clips, clasps, and interfacial surface tension. The retentive quality of an extracoronal clasp varies with the alloy, physical form, location on the abutment, and positional relationship to other elements ...

Revisiting the Removable Partial Denture

Dental Clinics of North America, 2019
The partial edentulous population is increasing because of an increasing aging population, increased life expectancy, and individuals retaining more teeth at an older age. Therefore, the need for fixed and removable partial denture (RPD) therapy will remain high and will continue into the future.
