A female, aged 55 years, was presented to the clinic concerned with her inability to function properly due to missing teeth and collapse of her vertical dimension. On examination, remaining tooth position of the upper arch was favorable for telescopic denture and remaining tooth position of the lower arch was favorable for removable prosthesis. The patient requested an aesthetic maxillary and mandibular denture with no visible metal clasps on smiling. Therefore, upper telescopic removable complete denture and lower chrome cobalt removable prostheses were suggested to the patient as conservative treatment to reestablish her occlusal vertical dimension and restore her aesthetics and function.

The influence of prosthetic treatments and implant-supported prostheses on posterior mandibular ridge atrophy: a retrospective cohort study.

Aims: Bone preservation is a requirement for long-term stability of dental prostheses, which is all the more important in the posterior mandible, given the particular challenges these areas pose to prosthetic treatment. The objective was to investigate the implications of different prostheses on the atrophy of posterior alveolar bone after tooth loss.
Materials And Methods: A total of 457 treatment cases were retrieved from the medical documentation and information network.

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.

Statement Of Problem: The long-term effects of wearing removable partial dentures (RPDs) remain unclear.
Purpose: This systematic review addressed the question "Is the long-term use of RPDs deleterious to the remaining teeth?"
Material And Methods: This review was guided by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Six databases and nonpeer-reviewed literature were searched in April 2024 without language or follow-up restrictions.
Bone resorption following tooth loss might compromise retention, stability, and support of conventional removable prostheses, and for this reason, implant-supported overdentures are suggested as a viable alternative for completely edentulous patients. Bars, telescopic attachments, or stud attachments have been used to provide retention through a different mechanism of action based on specific design characteristics. The purpose of this report is to thoroughly describe the applied protocol for the fabrication of an implant overdenture supported by two bars incorporating stud attachments.

Objectives: The primary objective of the present retrospective clinical study was to determine the survival time of obturators while analyzing possible influencing factors.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective clinical cohort study analyzed the influence of various clinical factors on the survival probability of obturators and their follow-up outcomes using Kaplan‒Meier analysis.
Results: A total of 76 patients with 115 obturators were included in the study (47 men and 29 women, mean age 58.
