Attachment-Retained versus Clasp-Retained Removable Partial Dentures: Effects of Retention on Patient Satisfaction.

Objectives:  To compare the retention and patient satisfaction of attachment-retained versus clasp-retained removable partial dentures (RPDs) over time and to evaluate the impact of retention force on patient satisfaction.

Materials And Methods:  This study included 107 patients with 130 RPDs at the University Dentistry Clinical Center, Prishtina, Kosovo. Patients were divided into two groups: clasp-retained RPDs ( = 79) and attachment-retained RPDs ( = 51).

Minimal invasive prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with Down syndrome: A case report.

Introduction: Down syndrome (DS), an easily recognized congenital disease, is associated with a high prevalence of dental anomalies. Therefore, special dental care is required.

Case Presentation: This case report described the minimally invasive prosthetic rehabilitation of a 31-year-old female patient with DS.

ElectromyoFigureic Evaluation of Functional Adaptation of Patients with New Complete Dentures.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the level of adaptation of patients to newly fitted complete dentures in their dominant and nondominant sides, by means of ElectromyoFigureic signals.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-eight patients with complete dentures were evaluated in the study. Masticatory muscle () bioelectric activity of the patients with complete dentures was recorded at maximum intercuspal relation.

Evaluation of Sensibility Threshold for Interocclusal Thickness of Patients Wearing Complete Dentures.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness in experienced and nonexperienced denture wearers after the insertion of new complete dentures.

Materials And Methods: A total of 88 patients with complete dentures have participated in this study. The research was divided into two experimental groups, compared with the previous experience prosthetic dental treatment.

Patient's Satisfaction with Removable Partial Dentures: A Retrospective Case Series.

Unlabelled: This retrospective clinical study aimed to assess patient's satisfaction with removable partial dentures (RPDs), as retention, chewing ability, aesthetics during the observation period.

Material And Methods: A total of 63 patients with RPDs, participated in this study. The following data was collected: Kennedy classification, denture design, denture support, satisfaction and success of RPD.

Differences between centric relation and maximum intercuspation as possible cause for development of temporomandibular disorder analyzed with T-scan III.

Objective: To compare subjects from the group with fixed dentures, the group who present temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and a control group considering centric relation (CR) and maximum intercuspation (MIC)/habitual occlusion (Hab. Occl.) and to analyze the related variables also compared and analyzed with electronic system T-scan III.

The influence of removable partial dentures on the periodontal health of abutment and non-abutment teeth.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of removable partial dentures (RPD) on the periodontal health of abutment and non-abutment teeth.

Materials And Methods: A total 107 patients with RPD participated in this study. It was examined 138 RPD, they were 87 with clasp-retained and 51 were RPD with attachments.

Clinical evaluation of removable partial dentures on the periodontal health of abutment teeth: a retrospective study.

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effect of removable partial dentures in periodontal abutment teeth in relation to the type of denture support and design of RPD in a five-year worn period. Methods : A total of 64 patients with removable partial dentures (RPDs), participated in this study. It were examined ninety-one RPDs.
