Flexible thermoplastic resins have been used as an alternative to partially edentulous patients for decades in the USA. However, they are neither popular nor widespread in Brazil. This material represents an excellent treatment option to solve clinical problems such as compromised esthetics caused by visible metal clasps, and fall fracture of dentures made of conventional resins. Additionally, there is little researching and no controlled clinical studies about the use of flexible resins in prosthodontics. For these reasons, this study presents a case report of a dissatisfied patient treated with a conventional removable partial denture, which was replaced by a modified metal framework without metal clasps in combination with flexible resin, and a literature review about this material focusing on the dental practitioner. The study also reports how these polymers can be used, their indications, and their clinical and laboratory considerations.

Removable partial denture are prosthetic solutions that replace missing teeth of partially edentulous patients, ensuring stomatognathic system functionality with affordable costs.The purpose of this study is to analyze the dimensional variations caused by the execution errors, which can lead to premature deterioration of the removable partial dentures and to conclude what sizes are deficient and can lead to the deterioration of the prosthetic part. The material involved in the present study was represented by the metal framework of 181 removable partial dentures. Of the total of 181 removable prosthetic parts, 88 were maxillary prostheses and 93 were mandibular prostheses. Measurements were made at the retentive arms, opposing arms, minor connectors, rests and junction areas between the body of the clasps and the active arms and studied compared to the edentulous classes. The results are focused on dimensional changes of both the retentive arms and the opposing arms of the clasps, which are roughly modeled in the first 3 edentulous classes, with a significant difference from those achieved in Kennedy`s 4th class edentulous, where these segments of the clasps are much shorter. Regarding the size of the rests, although their thickness approximates the values indicated in the literature, they do not fit into the occlusal relief of the tooth. The length of the retentive arms varies according to the classes of edentulous, the clinical situation, but also the size and type of the tooth (premolars, molars) on which the clasp is applied. Regarding the opposing arm, the observed differences cannot be correlated with the objective criteria of their achievement because the attention is directed towards the realization of the retentive arm.

In making removable denture, some aspects must be considered: retention, stabilization, support, comfort, andaesthetic. Retention plays an important role in the success of a removable denture. Retention can be obtained from theundercut area, or friction of the denture’s components to the abutment or abutment. Clasp as a retainer, both of metalcasting and wire have been frequently used in the removable partial denture. The clasp has some shortcomings in itsusing, namely color of the metal can sometimes interfere with the aesthetic of the wearer and cannot be placed on teeththat have experienced extensive caries. Telescopic crown as retainer has several advantages, which can be used oncrown of abutment that has experienced extensive caries or tooth that will be an abutment but have endodontic-treated.On telescopic crowns, retention is obtained from the friction between the primary crowns against secondary crown thatserves as a retainer. This case report describes two cases of a removable denture with a metal framework using atelescopic crown on one tooth that serves as a retainer in the case of one-side free-end edentulous.

The various treatment options for the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients are conventional fixed partial dentures, implant supported fixed partial dentures and removable partial dentures. In some cases, removable partial dentures may be the only choice which is available other than implants and fixed partial denture. Removable cast partial dentures are used as definitive removable prostheses when indicated, but location of clasps is not aesthetically pleasant. So, when patient is concerned about aesthetics, flexible partial dentures which is aesthetically superior may be considered. But for the success of flexible removable partial denture, proper diagnosis, treatment planning, insertion, wearing and maintenance of this prosthesis is very important.

The making of removable denture is performed by a dental laboratory. To facilitate the identification, according to Kennedy classification, classes are divided onto groups, the Kennedy class I, II, III and IV. To suit with the needs of the dental laboratory tasks commonly done, priority are necessary for common cases and should to be taught to students of Dental Health Technology Diploma. In Surabaya, research of various cases of removable partial denture with the various Kennedy classifications has never been done before. This study was to analyze the pattern of service for the removable partial denture manufacture in dental laboratory at Surabaya (2011 – 2013). The research is an observatory analytic. The population is all dental laboratories located around the campus of the Faculty of Dentistry Airlangga University Surabaya. The sample was the whole population is willing to become respondents. Sampling by total sampling. The method of collecting data using secondary data from a dental laboratory in Surabaya from 2011 until 2013. The note is cases removable denture according to the classification of Kennedy that Kennedy Class I, II, III and IV. Also of note kinds of materials used to make the denture base that is heat cured acrylic resins, thermoplastic resins and metals coherent. The data is a compilation table charting the frequency until needed, then analyzed using cross tabulation. Mostly denture type is flexible type and the least is metal framework. Most cases by classification Kennedy is followed by class II class III and class II and more recently is the fourth. In conclusion, in 2011 and 2013 the manufacture of removable partial dentures according to the classification of Kennedy Class III is the most common in both the upper arch and lower jaw, followed by Class II, Class I and Class IV. In 2012 which is the highest grade III followed by class II, class IV and class I. The denture type most used is a flexible denture, followed acrylic denture and the last is the metal framework.

SummaryBackground/Aim: Congenital defects such as cleft palate and lips require a long-lasting and multidisciplinary approach. In cases when surgical and orthodontic treatment is not feasible, prosthodontic management of these patients is advocated. Prosthetic rehabilitation of cleft palate in concerning of achieving aesthetic and function (such as swallowing and speech) outcomes is very demanding.Case report: Material and method: After performing the necessary surgical procedures and orthodontic treatment, 24-years-old male patient was sent to the Department for Maxillofacial Prosthetics of Istanbul University. Followed the clinical examination, the necessary periodontal and conservative therapy was performed. After radiographic evaluation and dental cast analysis prosthetic rehabilitation was performed. The prosthetic rehabilitation of cleft palate was accomplish with conventional fixed partial denture whose number of included abutment were defined by biomechanical principles. Additionally removable partial denture were manufactured for closing oro-nasal defects and lip supporting.Conclusions: The prosthetic rehabilitation resulted with functionally and aesthetically content prosthesis. With achieving proper swallowing Quality of Life of the patient was enormously enhanced.
