Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of removable partial dentures (RPD) on the periodontal health of abutment and non-abutment teeth.
Materials And Methods: A total 107 patients with RPD participated in this study. It was examined 138 RPD, they were 87 with clasp-retained and 51 were RPD with attachments. The following periodontal parameters were evaluated for abutment and non-abutment teeth, plaque index (PLI), calculus index (CI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD) (mm) and tooth mobility (TM) index. These clinical measurements were taken immediately before insertion the RPD, then one and 3 months after insertion. The level of significance was set at (P < 0.05).
Results: The mean scores for PLI, CI, BOP, PD, and TM index, of the abutment teeth and non-abutment teeth were no statistically significant at the time of insertion of RPD. After 1-month, PLI was statistically significant (0.57 ± 0.55 for abutment and 0.30 ± 0.46 for non-abutment teeth). After 3 months, there were significant differences between abutment and non-abutment teeth with regard to the BOP (1.53 ± 0.50 and 1.76 ± 0.43 respectively), PD (0.28 ± 0.45 and 0.12 ± 0.33 respectively) and PLI (1.20 ± 0.46 and 0.75 ± 0.64 respectively). No significant mean difference in TM and CI was found between the abutment and non-abutment teeth (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: With carefully planned prosthetic treatment and adequate maintenance of the oral and denture hygiene, we can prevent the periodontal diseases.

Effects of denture use on occlusal force on abutment teeth in molar distal-extension edentulism.

Department of Removable Prosthodontics and Gerodontology, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, Suita, Japan.
Purpose: The present clinical study aimed to investigate the load exerted on abutment teeth in patients with distal extension edentulism, with and without a removable partial denture (RPD).
Methods: A total of 55 volunteers with distal extension edentulism who were fitted with an RPD participated in the present study. Occlusal force was measured by having the patients bite down on an occlusal force measuring sheet, and the occlusal forces on both the abutment teeth and the entire dentition with and without the RPD were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (P < 0.
Tooth-Implant digital guide improves implantation accuracy in patients with periodontitis.

Objective: To investigate the accuracy of Tooth-Implant digital guide-assisted implantation, explore the influence of periodontitis on the accuracy of the digital guide, and evaluate the effect of the residual abutment looseness after periodontitis treatment on the implant accuracy of the digital guide.
Methods: In this retrospective clinical study, 45 patients who received dental implantation at the Department of Periodontology, Beijing Stomatological Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, were selected and grouped. Group A consisted of non-periodontitis patients (n=15) who underwent Tooth-Implant digital guide-assisted implantation surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was assessing the changes in both clinical and microbiological parameters of healthy individuals after rehabilitation with removable partial denture (RPD).
Design: 11 women received unilateral or bilateral free-end saddle RPD in the mandibular arch. Clinical and microbiological parameters of abutment, non-abutment, and antagonist teeth were assessed at baseline (RPD installation) and after 7, 30, 90, and 180days of function.
Periodontal Conditions of Abutments and Non-Abutments in Removable Partial Dentures over 7 Years of Use.

Department of Dentistry, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Center of Health Science, Natal, Brazil.
Purpose: To evaluate the periodontal conditions and integrity of abutment and non-abutment teeth of patients evaluated 7 years after insertion of the removable partial denture (RPD).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-two patients (17 women, 5 men) were assessed at the moment of denture insertion and 7 years later. The following items were verified in each assessment: bleeding on probing (BP), probing depth (PD), gingival recession (GR), and mobility (M), comparing direct and indirect abutment teeth, and the teeth not involved in the denture design.
