Objectives: This study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness and cost-efficiency of conventional and digital prosthodontic protocols, with a specific focus on milled and 3D-printed digital removable complete dentures.
Methods: This retrospective clinical study was conducted at the Removable Prosthodontics Department of the University of Siena. 60 patients were divided into two groups: 30 received conventional complete dentures, while the remaining 30 received digital complete dentures (15 milled and 15 3D-printed).

Statement Of Problem: Denture wearers are susceptible to diseases related to denture hygiene and are more prone to develop systemic disease because of poor understanding and awareness of the impact of edentulism on general health.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional chairside practice and WhatsApp in improving patient knowledge of denture care and their awareness of the impact of edentulism on general health.
Material And Methods: Sixty-two participants who attended the Polyclinic Kulliyyah of Dentistry, IIUM Kuantan in 2022 for removable prosthesis fabrication were recruited.

This clinical report summarizes a workflow that introduces two approaches for fabricating a metal framework removable partial denture for a marginal mandibulectomy patient. First, the pre-existing denture was adjusted according to the piezographic technique to determine the optimal configuration for adhering to the available denture space. Second, computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology was used to fabricate a new removable partial denture by digitally scanning the oral condition and the well-adjusted denture and then using the obtained data to design and fabricate the new denture.

Statement Of Problem: Implant-assisted removable partial dentures (IARPDs) have been used to treat partially edentulous patients, yet limited information is available on the relationship between prosthetic complications and patient satisfaction as compared with conventional removable partial dentures (RPDs).
Purpose: The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to measure the satisfaction of patients who received either conventional or RPDs assisted by short implants and to assess and compare the incidence and type of prosthetic complications after a mean observational period of 34 months.
Material And Methods: Thirty-one healthy and bilaterally edentulous (Kennedy Class I) individuals who were seeking treatment and were candidates for posterior implant placement, were randomly allocated to either the conventional removable partial denture (CRPD) or the short implant-assisted removable partial denture (IARPD) groups.

Data Sources: The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Trip, CINAHL via EBSCO, EMBASE via OVID and ProQuest searched up to June 2023. Any clinical study with parallel arms and matched malocclusion severity should include permanent dentition participants with mild to mild-to-moderate anterior crowding. Participants should have undergone orthodontic treatment with either orthodontic labial fixed appliances or removable clear aligners.
