Proper hygienic care of removable dentures is an important means of maintaining a healthy oral mucosa on denture wearers. Denture cleansing is often poor due to improper mechanical and the inefficient chemical cleansing of dentures. Dentists and patients should realize that microbial plaque on dentures may be harmful to both the oral mucosa and the patient's general health. This literature review was aimed to evaluate materials and methods for cleansing dentures and to discuss different means of keeping dentures plaque-free. A routine denture cleansing regimen should be designed to remove and prevent reaccumulation of microbial plaque and also to remove mucin, food debris, calculus, and exogenous discoloration. The combined use of chemical and mechanical cleansing is highly recommended for patients to clean their denture effciently.

This research introduces the manufacturing process of the metal-framework of one of the maxillary partial dentures, the "obturator", using milling wax-blocks, for patients with palate loss due to oral cancer. It explains the protocol of taking the patient's oral impression, preparation of a working cast, scanning, designing using a computer-aided design program, investing the milling wax-blocks, and completing the obturator. This method does not follow the traditional wax and agar process thereby reducing the errors arising during the manufacturing process and decreasing the time, material, and labor required. Moreover, the retention, stability, and compatibility of the metal framework were observed to be high in both the working cast and oral cavity.

Prosthodontic treatment planning for various edentulous arches is not an easy issue for dentists. Especially, in case of removable partial denture, we must have a knowledge of overall treatment procedures, and a careful approach is needed. Recently, interest of dental implant and case reports are increasing, the decrease of the removable partial denture is true, but dental implantation takes longer treatment period and it is more expensive. Also, there are still some limitations like lack of available alveolar bone, patient's general condition, and chronic periodontitis. Therefore, sometimes implantation is impossible. Finally, implantation cannot be adapted to every single patient. Currently, the clasp type removable partial dentures are used routinely, giving patients many unesthetic and functional difficulties. With better laboratory technique, removable partial denture with attachment and removable partial denture in rigid type increase patient's happiness level much more than predicted. The case presented in this article, clinically demonstrate the efficiency of using a telescopic system to improve esthetic and functional recovery for patients who lose multiple teeth.

The benefits of implant supported overdenture are readily apparent for the fully edentulous patients and have been well documented, however, there is deficiency of the studies regarding the combination of implants with removable partial dentures for partially edentulous patients. The purpose of this article is to review the literature concerning implants with removable partial dentures and evaluate the evidence for this clinical approach. Through many clinical case reports and studies we have searched from a broad variety of journals, we present the six considerations needed to contemplate respecting implants with removable partial denture in partially edentulous patients. First, the connection between abutment tooth and removable partial denture has to be rigid and the link between implant and removable partial denture should be hinged. Second, a mesial rest acts better in the point of force distribution for distal extension removable partial denture and splinting between implants is also a favorable choice. Third, T bar has an advantage for implants which are used as abutments in distal extension removable partial denture. Forth, as we all known functional impression is better way to reproduce movement for distal extension removable partial denture. Fifth, indirect retainer and guiding plane on the proximal surfaces of terminal abutment teeth are important in preventing denture base lifting. Sixth, implants in conjunction with removable partial denture is superior in the esthetic and phonetic as well as cost-effective point of view. We also suggest that which place we should install implants for force distribution and which diameter and length of implants should be used. in this review article, we recommend to locate the implant near of the abutment tooth for esthetics or near of first molar position for good stress distribution. The diameter and length of implant also influence to stress distribution. When we compare to conservative partial denture, patients go for removable partial denture using implants due to convenience, better support and retention according to several studies. But it is true that we need to study more on this subject and collect long term follow up cases before we discuss on it. So it is enough to bring this subject into the surface of prosthetic treatment by this article.

In this study 240 geriatric patients, aged 60 year and over were evaluated using a questionnaire and oral examination for their oral status, demand and satisfaction of prosthesis treatment. 1. The single main complaint was regarding from the existing removable prosthesis. When the complaints were catagorized into larger groups, complaints regarding existing prosthesis were 32% and followed by 30% in caries and endodontic problems. 2. DMFT index woman appeared the man the age when will increase more highly recording where highly and considered statistically. 3. According to the result from questionnaire, 48% of patients wearing removable prosthesis and 43% with fixed prosthesis were not satisfied with existing prosthesis. Thirty-seven percentages of patients were not satisfied with aesthetics and unable to chew food properly. 4. Thirty-nine percentage of patients were wearing removable prosthesis. More complete dentures were found on maxilla and partial dentures on mandible. 5. Seventy-seven percentage of patients requested for new prosthesis and the majority of these patients had complaints of difficulties in chewing and discomfort.

In this study 240 geriatric patients, aged 60 year and over were evaluated using a questionnaire and oral examination for their oral status, demand and satisfaction of prosthodontic treatment. The followings are the findings : 1. The single main complaint was regarding from the existing removable prosthesis, When the complaints were categorized into larger groups, complaints regarding existing prosthesis were 32% and followed by 30% in caries and endodontic problems. 2. Approximately half of the geriatric patients had 21 or more remaining dentition. This number however diminished with increase in age of the surveyed patient. 3. According to the result from questionnaire, 48% of patients wearing removable prosthesis and 43% with fixed prosthesis were not satisfied with existing prosthesis. Thirty-seven percentages of patients were not satisfied with aesthetics and unable to chew food properly. 4. Seventy-seven percentages of patients requested for new prosthesis and the majority of these patients had complaints of difficulties in chewing and discomfort. 5. Thirty-nine percentages of patients were wearing removable prosthesis. More complete dentures were found on maxilla and partial dentures on mandible.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate survival rates of the implants used in implant assisted removable partial dentures (IARPDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study was conducted on 21 patients who were treated with IARPDs. The mean follow-up period for IARPD patients ranged from 12 to 185 months (mean 47.9 months). A total of 58 implants were used for IARPDs in two different modalities: 41 for surveyed crowns and 17 for overdentures. The survival of implants was determined by clinical and radiographic evaluations considering relevant factors: location, RPD classification, opposing dentition, splinting, and implant diameter. RESULTS. The survival rate of total 58 implants was 93.1%: 95.1% for implants supporting surveyed crowns and 88.2% for implants used in overdentures. Considering only the implants supporting surveyed crown, regular diameter implants showed a higher survival rate than narrow or wide diameter implants. CONCLUSION. The survival rate of the implants used in IARPDs was 93.1% (surveyed crown: 95.1%, overdenture: 88.2%).
