AI Article Synopsis
- * It highlights findings that patients with dentures and any of these conditions tend to have higher levels of Candida albicans, a type of yeast, in their mouths compared to healthier denture wearers.
- * The article suggests that while a direct cause-and-effect relationship hasn't been confirmed, improving oral hygiene and care is crucial for these patients to reduce the risk of oral infections and complications.
Article Abstract
This article reviews the dental literature concerning the potential impact of the removable prosthesis (RP) on the health status of patients with certain systemic diseases. Literature was surveyed using Medline/PubMed database resources, as well as a manual search, up to 2015 to identify appropriate articles that addressed the aim of this review. The research used keywords about associations between RP and six pathologies: Human immunodeficiency virus infection, diabetes mellitus, pulmonary diseases, gastric-Helicobacter pylori, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Analysis of literature showed that in patients with dentures having one or more of the six general conditions listed, Candida albicans organism is more frequently found in the oral flora compared to healthy denture wearer. Although causality has not been established and pending further research on this topic, the hygienic practices necessary to minimize the risk of numerous pathologies should be strengthened in the case of these patients, all the more in the presence of physical or psychological disability. The relationship between the general diseases and increasing of oral candidiasis denture patients is not explained. Therefore, attention to oral hygiene and professional care for removing C. albicans may be beneficial in these medically compromised patients.

Department of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics, National Research Center, Cairo, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on rehabilitating maxillary single denture cases using two types of implant-retained attachments: telescopic and ball-and-socket, to see which provided better patient satisfaction.
- It involved 18 completely edentulous patients aged 45-60, where each received a maxillary single denture with different attachment systems, and their satisfaction was assessed immediately after and three months later.
- Results indicated that patients with telescopic attachments reported greater improvements in comfort, chewing, and overall satisfaction, while those with ball-and-socket attachments only noted better appearance, highlighting the advantages of telescopic systems.

Department of Dental Research Cell, Dr. D. Y. Patil Dental College and Hospital, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Sant-Tukaram Nagar, Pimpri, Pune, 411018, India.
Article Synopsis
- The review examines how different methods for creating removable partial dentures (RPDs), both traditional and digital, impact the accuracy of fit and precision.
- A thorough analysis of literature identified 8 key studies, revealing that fabrication techniques like resin milling and selective laser melting produce varying levels of fit accuracy, with resin milling using PEEK being the most precise.
- Common assessment methods include silicone-based evaluations and digital superimposition, which are effective for measuring how well RPDs fit after fabrication.
