A method of treatment that combines the advantages of both a removable partial denture and a fixed partial denture is described. The indications, contraindications, advantages, and special considerations are discussed. The procedures necessary for treatment of patients are described. Our observations indicate that this is an acceptable mode of treatment for those patients in need of this type of prosthesis.

Scan accuracy of recently introduced wireless intraoral scanners in different fixed partial denture situations.

J Dent

January 2025

Department of Reconstructive Dentistry and Gerodontology, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland;; Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Material Science, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the accuracy of new wireless intraoral scanners (IOSs) with traditional wired IOSs in different scenarios related to fixed partial dentures (FPDs).
  • Models of partially edentulous maxillae were scanned using both types of scanners and results were analyzed against reference scans to measure trueness and precision.
  • Findings revealed that while the wireless IOSs showed good accuracy, wired IOSs outperformed in certain metrics, particularly in angular and interimplant distance measurements, with higher inaccuracies noted in posterior FPDs.

Automated design prediction for definitive obturator prostheses: A case-based reasoning study.

J Prosthodont

January 2025

Department of Advanced Prosthodontics, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a case-based reasoning (CBR) system in predicting the design of definitive obturator prostheses for maxillectomy patients.

Materials And Methods: Data from 209 maxillectomy cases, including extraoral images of obturator prostheses and occlusal images of maxillectomy defects, were collected from Institute of Science Tokyo Hospital. These cases were organized into a structured database using Python's pandas library.

Objectives:  In the context of military health, removable partial acrylic dentures (RPADs) are crucial for the quality of life and performance of Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) soldiers. Given the demanding and unpredictable military environment, RPADs provide a solution for soldiers experiencing tooth loss. This research aims to identify behavioral factors influencing the lifespan of RPADs among TNI soldiers.

Background: The correlation between the three-dimensional spatial representation (3DSR) abilities, specifically involving spatial orientation, spatial visualisation and spatial relationship, and the performance in exercises related to preclinical practical exams in fixed prosthodontics and removable partial denture is not studied.

Objective: Assess the correlation between the 3DSR abilities and the performance in exercises related to preclinical practical exams in fixed prosthodontics and removable partial denture carried out by second and third year dental students.

Materials And Methods: The 3DSR abilities (spatial orientation, spatial visualisation and spatial relationship) and the scores of preclinical practical exams in prosthetics were tested on 187 students.
