The Effects of Wearing a Removable-Partial-Denture on the Bite Forces: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Removable partial dentures are a frequently used prosthetic treatment in the elderly population, but different types or RPDs might guarantee different chewing capabilities. In many studies, the relationship between chewing and aging has been reported and it has been shown that efficient chewing can improve the overall quality of life.

Objectives: In the present study, the relationship between maximum bite force (MBF) and RPDs was studied.

Masticatory Force in Relation with Age in Subjects with Full Permanent Dentition: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Unlabelled: Masticatory performance is directly correlated with masticatory muscle work to grind and cut the food. Chewing efficacy is decisive to eating a variety of foods needed maintain general health status at all ages. Older people have oral problems that get worse with age.

Bite Force in Elderly with Full Natural Dentition and Different Rehabilitation Prosthesis.

(1) Background: This study aimed to investigate maximum bite force (MBF) in elderly patients with natural full dentition (FD), patients rehabilitated with Traditional Complete Dentures (CD), with overdentures (IRO) and edentulous patients (ED). We also tested whether MBF changes are associated with gender, age of the patients and body mass index (BMI) as result of altered food; (2) Methods: Three hundred and sixty-eight geriatric patients were included. We studied two types of prostheses: (a) IRO with telescopic attachments.

Patient and Clinical Evaluation of Traditional Metal and Polyamide Removable Partial Dentures in an Elderly Cohort.

Purpose: To evaluate several clinical and functional parameters by administration of specific questionnaires to an elderly patient's cohort wearing three different types of removable partial denture (RPD): VALPLAST-RPD (Polyamide VALPLAST), CoCr-RPD (cobalt-chromium alloy), and PMMA-RPD (heat polymerized polymethyl methacrylate).

Materials And Methods: One hundred twenty patients (mean age 73 years) were included in this study. All patients were treated with a removable partial denture for the maxillary arch.

Management of a fractured, nonremovable implant: a clinical report with a 12-month follow-up.

Implant failures could be due to biological or mechanical factors, which also include fracture of the fixture. The present report presents a case of a single fractured implant placed in the left mandibular molar region. Since the residual portion of the fixture was perfectly osseointegrated with no signs of peri-implantitis, and in direct contact with the roof of the inferior alveolar nerve canal, it was decided to treat the patient with a short implant positioned on top of the fractured, and not removing the fractured implant.

A case report of a TPS dental implant rigidly connected to a natural tooth: 19-year follow-up.

Aim: A partial edentulous area was restored with a tooth to implant fixed partial denture and a rigid connection between the two elements. Maintenance recalls were performed over a 19-year period of observation on a yearly basis.

Methods: THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS WERE COLLECTED DURING EACH EXAMINATION OVER THE ENTIRE PERIOD OF OBSERVATION: PD around the implant and natural tooth abutment, gingival index, modified gingival index, plaque index, modified plaque index, occlusal assessment, marginal bone loss.
