Using acrylic customized X-ray positioning stents for long-term follow-up studies.

Objectives: Long-term assessment of teeth, dental implants, and their corresponding structures is vital to obtain more data concerning the achievement or disappointment of different treatment modalities in clinical situations.

Aim: This report aimed to verify the usage of customized X-ray positioning stents suitable for long-term follow-up studies.

Material And Methods: Two acrylic stents were compared.

Impact of Removable Partial Denture Type on Patient Satisfaction and Abutment Survival Rate-RCT.

Background: Patient's satisfaction and the preservation of abutments is the most important outcomes that the clinician seeks during fabrication of any dental treatment, especially when it is concerned with removable prosthodontic rehabilitation.

Aim: The present study evaluates three different Removable Partial Denture (RPD) types restoring mandibular class II modification I edentulous cases with regards to patient's satisfaction and abutments survival.

Methods: Forty-two partially edentulous patients were divided into three groups (Group I rehabilitated with Vitallium RPD, Group II rehabilitated with Vitallium RPD where the modification area restored with the surveyed bridge, Group III rehabilitated with Thermopress RPD).

Comparative Study Clarifying the Usage of PEEK as Suitable Material to Be Used as Partial Denture Attachment and Framework.

Background: Utilization of attachments in a removable partial denture is highly essential not only as a line of treatment but also as it has a remarkable impact on the denture's durability during the function. The attachment should act as a stress breaking system preserving the abutment teeth.

Aim: This consideration aimed to verify the convention of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material as an attachment.

Different Materials Used as Denture Retainers and Their Colour Stability.

Background: Retainers are of great importance for the longevity of the prosthetic removable partial denture during various functions especially the esthetic one. The key of successful clasp selection is to select a direct retainer that will control tipping and torquing forces on the abutment teeth, provide retention against reasonable dislodging forces and are compatible with both tooth and tissue contour together with the aesthetic desire of the patient.

Aim: This study aims to compare different clasp material to enhance the choice of the clasp based on the aesthetic point of view.
