The realization of esthetic objectives and functional demands in the reconstruction of severely compromised dentition represents considerable clinical problems. This clinical report represents the prosthetic management of a severe dentofacial deformity with compromised periodontal status. Treatment objectives were based on Aesthetics enhancement, sociopsychological support of the patient, restoration of form function, phonetics and comfort. Following which extraction of upper incisors and alveoloplasty done. An immediate removable partial denture was fabricated, considering aesthetics, phonetics and comfort of the patient followed by replacement of incisors by metal- ceramic fixed partial denture done. Clinical relevance: prosthetic management of severlymalaligned natural maxillary anterior teeth by fixed partial denture, considering aesthetics and phonetics of the patient. Treatment objectives: Aesthetics enhancement, sociopsychological support of the patient, restoration of form function, phonetics and comfort.

Although patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) are not seen regularly in general dental practice, this is a frequent congenital anomaly; approximately one in every 800 live births results in a CLP. The cause of CLP is unknown, but possible causes are malnutrition and irradiation during pregnancy, psychological stress, teratogenic agents, infectious agents (viruses), and inheritance. Most clefts are likely caused by multiple genetic and nongenetic factors. Prosthetic reconstruction of the anterior maxilla is important for these patients. This paper describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of two patients with CLP, 19-year-old and 21-year-old women, both with surgically treated CLP. In both, an examination revealed a residual palatal defect of  mm and missing maxillary lateral incisors. The 19-year-old was treated with a fiber-reinforced composite resin-bonded fixed partial denture. The 21-year-old was treated with a removable partial denture with an extracoronal attachment system. The prosthetic rehabilitation of the two patients with CLP was evaluated clinically. In both, well-planned prosthetic, periodontal, and surgical therapy resulted in satisfactory function and esthetics, alleviating their deformities. With education and appropriate recall, the patients should be able to maintain their oral health.

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the emotional, behavioural, and social effects of single or multiple anterior tooth loss. It also compares the effectiveness of the removable and fixed prosthesis to address the impact of anterior tooth loss. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 70 subjects who presented to the Department of Prosthetic Dental Sciences. A questionnaire was distributed and the data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 18.0 and values less than 0.05 % were considered statistically significant. Results: The participant’s difficulty to accept loss of their anterior tooth, embarrassment and confidence were changed significantly after wearing the prosthesis (P< 0.05). Moreover, fixed partial denture had more effect than removal partial denture. It was claimed by 62.9% of the participants that they were not prepared for the effect of tooth loss and 47.1% of them thought that a prior explanation from the dentist would have helped them overcome their fear of losing their teeth. Conclusion: The maximum impact of anterior tooth loss was felt on confidence followed by embarrassment. The participants felt more comfortable after wearing their prosthesis. Fixed partial denture had more effect than removable partial denture. Keywords Emotional; Behavioral; Social; Anterior tooth loss. Keywords Emotional; Behavioral; Social; Anterior tooth loss.

This article reports the case of a 55-year-old female patient who presented with unsatisfactory temporary crowns in the right mandibular premolars and molars, and a premolar-to-molar fixed partial denture in the left side. The clinical and radiographic examinations revealed a fracture of the left first premolar that was a retainer of the fixed partial denture and required extraction. Initially, the acrylic resin crowns were replaced by new ones, and a provisional RPD was made using acrylic resin and orthodontic wire clasps to resolve the problem arising from the loss of the fixed partial denture. Considering the patient's high esthetic demands, the treatment options for the definitive prosthetic treatment were discussed with her and rehabilitation with implant-supported dentures was proposed because the clinical conditions of the residual alveolar ridge were suitable for implant installation, and the patient's general health was excellent. However, the patient did not agree because she knew of a failed case of implant-retained denture in a diabetic individual and was concerned. The patient was fully informed that implant installation was the best indication for her case, but the arguments were not sufficient to change her decision. The treatment possibilities were presented and the patient opted for a clasp-retained removable partial denture (RPD) associated with the placement of crowns in the pillar teeth. The temporary RPD was replaced by the definitive RPD constructed subsequently. Although RPD was not the first choice, satisfactory esthetic and functional outcomes were achieved, overcaming the patient's expectations. This case report illustrates that the dentist must be prepared to deal with situations where, for reasons that cannot be managed, the patient does not accept the treatment considered as the most indicated for his/her case. Alternatives must be proposed and the functional and esthetic requirements must be fulfilled in the best possible manner.

ABSTRACT It has been well documented that anterior ridge defects present in a patient are very difficult to treat properly. These defects have been treated with great amount of planning and complexities while using the conventional treatment approaches like removable or fixed prosthesis and options of implant. Though totally implant-supported restorations are very successful, dentists may resort to prescribe implant overdentures because of functional, anatomical economical or esthetic considerations. However, the loading conditions of the partially implant- supported overdenture may affect the long-term predictability of this type of restoration. The concept of the Andrew's bar system can be utilized. In some cases the Andrew's bar system is superior to the implant-supported fixed partial denture and other techniques for implant overdentures. The purpose of this article is to evaluate and describe the Andrew's bar system (a fixed removable partial denture), to treat a class III anterior ridge defect using natural teeth as abutments for its fixed component followed a removable component. The use of Andrew's bar system over implants offered the dentist another option in meeting patient's needs.

Objectives: This study was carried out to assess the clinical evaluation of thepreference for prosthodontics treatment modalities in the patients visiting at the Welfare OPD,Isra Dental College, Hyderabad. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Welfare OPD,Department of Prosthodontics at Isra Dental College, Hyderabad. Period: Six months, from Jan,2016 to June, 2016. Materials and Methods: The study comprised of 191 patients belongingto both genders ranging in age from 10 years to the 60+ years, divided into six groups. Dataanalysis by distribution was performed according to the various kinds of prosthesis, includingremovable partial denture, removable complete denture, fixed partial denture, repair of RPD,immediate denture, lower CD & upper PD, obturator, upper CD & lower PD, relining of dentures,splints, over denture and provisional restorations. Data was analyzed via SPSS version 21.Descriptive statistics such as percentage, frequency distribution, cross tabulation and descriptivewere included in Data analysis. The level of significance was set at <0.05%. Results: This studyrevealed that the most of the patients were fell in group IV (41-50 years), which represents28.3% and the most common treatment were given RPD restoration (49.2%), followed by FPD(22.5%). Majority of the patients were prefer the RPD as 32 (34.0%) and 27 (28.7%) from the agegroup IV and III respectively while 13 (13.8%) patients were prefer RPD and 13 (30.8%) patientswere prefer FPD from the age group II. Out of 191 patients, 47 (50.0%) Males and 47 (50.0%)Females as well prefer the RPD while 26 (60.5%) females and 17 (39.5%) males were preferFPD as treatment modalities. Younger female patients preferred the FPD while with the increaseof age both genders prefer removable prosthesis. Conclusion: This study concludes that inthe treatment modalities, mostly patients preferred the removable partial denture, provisionalrestorations and removable complete denture. Younger patients preferred fixed partial dentureand removable partial denture as well.
