Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has become popular for removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks but reports on their clinical follow-up and repair are lacking. Two defective PEEK-framework RPDs were repaired with computer-aided design and manufacturing technology, saving costs and time and simplifying the treatment process.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-step oral hygiene intervention among removal partial denture (RPD) wearers.
Methods: A 12-week, single-blind, randomised, 2-armed, parallel-group, controlled trial was conducted with 49 RPD-wearing participants with mild-moderate gingivitis. The intervention group received stannous fluoride toothpaste, sodium fluoride mouth rinse, and an antibacterial denture cleanser foam.

To identify oral health variables associated with laryngotracheal aspiration-related outcomes as determined by swallowing during videofluoroscopy in adults and older adults. This cross-sectional study included 225 persons aged 18 years or older who were referred for clinical evaluation and videofluoroscopy examination due to suspected dysphagia. Oral health status assessment comprised self-reported the number of teeth, use and fit of dentures, xerostomia and satisfaction with chewing.

Advancements in digital technologies over the past decade have revolutionized dentistry, particularly with the integration of digital workflows in removable partial dentures (RPDs). Key innovations include digital data capture and computer-aided design and manufacturing, which enhance patient comfort, streamline workflows, and reduce treatment time and costs. Initially embraced by fixed restorations, these technologies are now transforming RPDs, previously reliant on analog methods.

Background: With rising life expectancy, partial edentulism has increased, particularly in developing nations where economic constraints, limited awareness, and inadequate dental care exacerbate the burden on aging populations. Patients with fewer than 20 teeth often experience a reduction in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL), emphasizing the need for effective tooth replacement. Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are versatile, cost-effective solutions for partial tooth loss, including metal clasp-retained RPDs (MC-RPDs), thermoplastic resin RPDs (TR-RPDs), and cast partial dentures (CPDs).

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of widely used artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in answering prosthodontics questions from the Dentistry Specialization Residency Examination (DSRE).
Methods: A total of 126 DSRE prosthodontics questions were divided into seven subtopics (dental morphology, materials science, fixed dentures, removable partial dentures, complete dentures, occlusion/temporomandibular joint, and dental implantology). Questions were translated into English by the authors, and this version of the questions were asked to five chatbots (ChatGPT-3.
