A partial removable denture is a device that allows the patient to recover from a partial edentulism. This case report describes the realization of a chrome–cobalt partial removable denture by using two different realization methods: (1) analogic framework and (2) hybrid framework. This allowed us to compare the stability, retention as well as clasp quality of both the products and to highlight their respective advantages, disadvantages, and limitations.

The selective laser melting technology is an additive digital method that permits producing metal frameworks for removable partial dentures. The existing literature has compared this technique with the classic technique in terms of precision, quality of fit, and function. This work describes a clinical case of a metal framework produced by the selective laser melting technique in a patient rehabilitated with a removable partial denture. No adjustments were required when the metal framework was inserted, showing good adaptation and stability to the abutment teeth and surrounding tissues. Further studies are necessary for a significant assessment of this technique’s clinical applicability.

Prosthodontic treatment aims to restore the chewing function (rehabilitation) and to prevent tooth decay and bone resorption (preventive and conservative). As an example, treatment by overdenture and Richmond crown. Overdenture is a partial or complete removable denture covered and supported by one or more teeth, the tooth roots and/or dental implants. Richmond crown is fixed denture by post and crown system, in which the post part goes into the root canal and its crown covers the entire of original tooth crown surface. By retaining the original teeth and/or roots, it could improve the stability and retention of the denture, and defend proprioseptic of teeth and vertical dimensions. To provide information about preventive prosthodontic treatment and prevention by using overdenture and Richmond crown. Case Report: A 50 year old woman only has 44 teeth on the mandible which is indicated for the overdenture construction and loss teeth 13, 14, 17 and 27 on the maxilla with deep caries in teeth 22 which is indicated for a removable partial denture (RPDs) construction by Richmond crown gear 22. On an early stage study, printing models is done. Then treatment of the root canal on teeth 22 and 44, followed by root canal preparation, core construction (cast post) and Richmond crown on tooth 22 and bareroot preparation on tooth 44 for overdenture construction. The procedure followed by printing, recording bite to insertion. Choosing treatment either overdenture or Richmond crown is very important because it could mantain remain original teeth, thus it can help to improve the retention and stabilization.

The removable partial denture framework is very complex in shape with many curved surfaces, which is a very important assistant tool in prosthodontics. Generally, frameworks are fabricated by single piece basing on mould by traditional cast technology, which has many shortages of multiple steps, time cost and defects such as sand adheres, inner holes, cracks and segregation etc. As a novel method, selective laser melting (SLM) rapid prototyping technology has the advantages of short manufacturing cycle, high precision and flexibility, simple fabrication arts, which can be used to replace the conventional cast technology in the areas of prosthodontics. A SLM system was designed and developed by ourselves, which is consisted of an Yb-fiber laser, an optical scanner, a powder coating device, a gas purification system and a control system, the process parameters were investigated systematically and optimized, finally fabricated removable partial denture frameworks with stainless steel and titanium materials successfully by using the SLM system under optimized parameters. The tests showed that the frameworks have an average dimension precision of ±0.172mm. The wearing experiments on the plaster mouth molds demonstrated the removable partial denture frameworks fabricated by SLM can be fully applied to clinic after some post- processing procedures.

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.
