Rehabilitation of partially edentulous arches with a cast partial denture is a commonly opted treatment modality where fixed prosthesis is not indicated. However, due to the aesthetic compromise of the various metal components when placed in the esthetic zone, different modifications have been considered for its fabrication. This case report describes a novel way of restoring partially edentulous arches with increased masticatory efficiency and good emergence profile without compromising the patient's esthetic desires. The report describes an aesthetic alternative using thermoplastic denture base clasp like extension for anterior abutment teeth while restoring the missing teeth with a cast partial denture.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially edentulous ()PED condition on lung function through spirometry tests and comparison of airflow rates between dentulous and PED subjects.
Settings And Design: The study design was a cross-sectional study conducted in the department of prosthodontics.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight dentulous and 28 PED patients with an age range of 25-50 years were included in the study.

This study assessed the accuracy of robotic computer-aided implant surgery (rCAIS) in partially edentulous patients using a standard operation procedure. Patients who underwent implant placement surgeries using the robotic system under a standard operation procedure were recruited. Deviations of dental implants were calculated after superimposition of the preoperative and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

This systematic review evaluated concomitant trends in microbial (total biofilm load and pre-dominant pathogens' counts) and clinical, radiographic, and crevicular variations following (any) peri-implantitis treatment in partially vs. totally edentulous, systemically healthy, non-smoking adults and compared them to peri-implant mucositis treated sites. The study protocol, compliant with the PRISMA statement, was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024514521).

Purpose: To evaluate whether there are clinical benefits by preparing dental implant sites using piezosurgery instead of conventional rotary drills in healed bone crests and if initial crestal soft tissue thickness could have an impact on marginal bone loss.
Methods: Twenty-five partially edentulous patients requiring two single implants in molar/premolar areas had each site randomly allocated to either piezosurgery or to conventional rotary drill preparation according to a split-mouth design. Definitive screw-retained metal-ceramic crowns were delivered after 6 months.

Objectives: Dental health is integral to overall well-being, with early detection of issues critical for prevention. This research work focuses on utilizing artificial intelligence and deep learning-based object detection techniques for automated detection of common dental issues in orthopantomography x-ray images, including broken roots, periodontally compromised teeth, and the Kennedy classification of partially edentulous arches.
Methods: An orthopantomography dataset has been used to train several models employing various object detection architectures, hyperparameters, and training techniques.
