We report a unique case of a young patient who accidentally swallowed his partial denture and alarmingly only presented to our ear, nose and throat (ENT) department 4 weeks later despite several previous presentations to primary and secondary care. The partial denture was successfully removed under general anaesthetic using direct laryngoscopy following admission. He was discharged on a normal diet 6 days later after oesophageal perforation was excluded using a contrast swallow.

Effect of different 3D-printing systems on the flexural strength of provisional fixed dental prostheses: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of in vitro studies.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Department of Restorative Dentistry, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University, Rize, Turkey.
Objectives: The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis was to compare the flexural strength of provisional fixed dental prostheses (PFDPs) fabricated using different 3D printing technologies, including digital light processing (DLP), stereolithography (SLA), liquid crystal display (LCD), selective laser sintering (SLS), Digital Light Synthesis (DLS), and fused deposition modeling (FDM).
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Open Grey up to September 2024. Studies evaluating the flexural strength of PFDPs fabricated by 3D printing systems were included.

Purpose: This retrospective clinical study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of surveyed monolithic computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) zirconia crowns for abutment teeth in removable partial dentures (RPDs).
Methods: Patients who received monolithic surveyed zirconia crowns were clinically examined. The crowns were examined according to the modified United States Public Health Service criteria, and Kaplan-Meier survival was determined.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial & Head and Neck Oncology, Capital Medical University School of Stomatology, Beijing, China.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the biomechanics of implant prostheses and peri-implant bone among 6 different mandibular reconstruction models based on patient data involving the use of an upper free-end double-barrel fibula.
Methods: This study was an observational study. Five models were reconstructed using fibular-supported and implant-supported partial dentures.
Comparative Evaluation of the Dimensional Accuracy of Silicone-Based Putty Reline Impressions with Different Spacer Acquisition Techniques in Fixed Partial Dentures.

BACKGROUND A tooth preparation's clinical requirements and geometric configurations should take precedence over material characteristics when advocating for putty reline impression techniques for permanent restorations, since they require a technically sensitive spacer for light body elastomer. We evaluated the linear dimensional accuracy of vinyl polysiloxane-based putty reline impressions with different spacer acquisition techniques in short-span and long-span fixed partial dentures (FPD). MATERIAL AND METHODS A typodont tooth set simulated a 3-unit (short-span) and a 5-unit (long-span) FPD.

Due to effective preventive measures and advanced techniques in operative dentistry, tooth loss occurs later in life and implant restorations have become a common solution for replacement of missing teeth. Therefore, the use of removable dental prostheses (RDPs) is expected to decline over time. This study aims to evaluate the expected decrease in the production of RDPs in Swiss dental laboratories over the past decade.
