Changes of alveolar bone density around the abutment teeth in patients wearing removable partial dentures depending on Kennedy classification.

The aim was to study the influence of Kennedy classification on alveolar bone density changes around the abutment teeth of removable partial denture (RPD) clasp and rests. A total of 50 examinees of both gender wearing RPDs were included in the study. Changes of bone density around the abutment teeth were determined by an intraoral microdensitometry method.

Evaluation of craniometric methods for determination of vertical dimension of occlusion--Part 2.

The study examines the relationships between different craniometric distances and the nasion-gnathion (N-Gn) distance which represents the lower two thirds of the face in vertical dimension determination. The highest degree of correlation (r = 0.9217; p < 0.
