School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Dongchuan Road 800, Minhang District, Shanghai, 200240, China.
Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses a new automatic method for planning the placement of maxillary anterior dental implants, aiming to achieve the correct three-dimensional (3D) positioning for better long-term stability.
- It uses prosthetic guidance to establish candidate orientations by creating virtual slices of the maxilla and extracting key feature points, ultimately generating a set of possible implant poses.
- The method was validated in 22 cases, showing quick planning times (under 9 seconds) and an ability to accurately determine optimal implant poses, indicating its potential for practical clinical use.
Considerations for the Prosthetic Dental Treatment of Geriatric Patients in Germany.
J Clin Med
January 2021
Clinic for Prosthetic Dentistry and Dental Materials Science, Leipzig University Medical Center, 04103 Leipzig, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Demographic shifts in industrialized countries necessitate that dentists cater to an increasing and diverse elderly population, focusing on their varying levels of fitness, frailty, and dependency.
- Improved oral hygiene and professional dental care have led to prolonged tooth retention in older adults, shifting the need for extensive dental prosthetics to an older age group.
- The text examines tooth loss trends in Germany and discusses essential guidelines for dental care and treatment options specifically for geriatric patients.
Study protocol for a multi-center, randomized controlled trial to develop Japanese denture adhesive guidelines for patients with complete dentures: the Denture Adhesive Guideline trial: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Trials
October 2016
The denture care society, Administration Office of Denture Care Society, Department of Removable Prosthodontics, Tsurumi University School of Dental Medicine, 2-1-3 Tsurumi, Tsurumi-ku, Kanagawa, 230-8501, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Denture adhesives, established as medical products by the American Dental Association in 1935, are underutilized in Japan due to the belief that dentures should be stable without them, prompting this study to assess their efficacy.
- A randomized controlled trial involving 300 edentulous patients will test cream-type and powder-type adhesives against a control solution over four days of regular meal consumption.
- The study will measure general satisfaction and several secondary outcomes related to denture functionality, eating ability, and overall oral health, employing statistical comparisons and regression analysis to evaluate results.
Knowledge and Attitude among General Dental Practitioners towards Minimally Invasive Dentistry in Riyadh and AlKharj.

Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia .
Article Synopsis
- The study examines general dental practitioners' knowledge and attitudes towards Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) in Riyadh and AlKharj, Saudi Arabia, highlighting a gap between awareness and practice.
- Researchers distributed structured questionnaires to 200 GDPs, revealing that nearly 60% lacked formal education on MID techniques.
- Findings indicated that while many GDPs are aware of MID's benefits, their attitudes and methods for caries detection do not align with recommended practices, particularly for those without MID training.
Clinical application of removable partial dentures using thermoplastic resin-part I: definition and indication of non-metal clasp dentures.
J Prosthodont Res
January 2014
Department of Fixed Prosthodontics, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This position paper defines and establishes a naming standard for removable partial dentures (RPDs) made from thermoplastic resin, providing guidelines for their clinical use.
- It features insights from a panel of 14 experts from the Japan Prosthodontic Society, who identified "non-metal clasp denture" as a suitable generic term for these devices.
- The panel categorized these dentures into flexible (without a metal framework) and rigid (with a metal framework) types, advising that flexible ones should primarily be used for patients with metal allergies, while rigid ones are suitable for those seeking aesthetics without metal clasps, both following conventional design principles.
Overdentures in partial anodontia: simple solutions for complex problems.
Compendium
