Use of attachment in providing retention to removable prosthesis is an old treatment modality with better success. It highly improves the comfort, aesthetic, function, and patient satisfaction, especially in the patients with long span edentulism where implants and fixed partial denture (FPD) are not indicated and cast partial dentures are barely satisfactory. Proper diagnosis and treatment planning is necessary for selection of appropriate attachment type. A comprehensive evaluation, multi-disciplinary approach and sequential treatment planning is needed for long-term successful outcome. This case report describes the use of an extra coronal semi-precision attachment to enhance retention of removable prosthesis.

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.

Even though dental attachments have a long successful history, many of the dental practioners are unaware about its benefits in daily clinical practice. It highly improves the comfort, aesthetic, function and patient satisfaction, especially in the patients with long span edentulism where implants and fixed partial denture (FPD) are not indicated and cast partial dentures are barely satisfactory. This case report describes the clinical and the laboratory steps for prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with maxillary distal extension partially edentulism with cast partial denture using Preci Vertex attachments.

<p class="AbstractContent">Restoring occlusal plane and occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) in patient with existing indirect restorations who must wear removable prostheses may be a challenge to the dental operator. Onlay removable partial dentures (RPD) are used to re-establish the occlusion in conjunction to replace missing teeth without having to remove the existing indirect restoration. This case report described prosthetic rehabilitation with onlay RPD in patients who were partially edentulous and has reduced OVD. The treatment involved a set of provisional RPD to re-establish the OVD, as well as to evaluate the function, esthetic and speech of the patient, followed by definitive onlay RPD. The mandibular onlay RPD was used to provide stable occlusion and to correct the uneven occlusal surface on the abutment teeth. This treatment able to improve patient’s chewing function through a simple removable prosthesis and conservative on the existing restorations.</p>

Dentists are disappointed after delivery of cast removable partial dentures because their patient refuses or is unable to wear the denture and the treatment is therefore deemed unsuccessful. When so many patients do not comply with treatment, it is instructive to reflect on why and how the treatment is performed. Appropriate, comprehensive treatment planning should precede and eliciting the patient's chief complaint, as well as his or her expectations of treatment before treatment planning. The case presentation provides for the practitioner to discuss the patient's expectations and to outline both favourable and unfavourable short and long term outcomes. By providing this information, the practitioner ensures that the patient is fully informed before giving consent and that he or she understands the associated benefits and risks.

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.

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.
