ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study was to detect the presence of N-benzyl-Dl-arginase-2-naphthalamide (BANA) micro- organisms in chronic periodontitis of abutment teeth in subjects wearing removable partial dentures (RPDs) by measuring the red complex using BANA-ZymeTM test. Materials and methods Twenty-five subjects (mean age: 59.3 years) with Kennedy class II partially edentulous arch participated in this study. The microbiological record of red complex was done by BANA-Zyme kit and clinical parameters, such as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and probing depth were recorded at abutment teeth in contact with the direct retainer of unilaterally designed RPDs and the corresponding nonabutment teeth on the opposite side. Results Mean scores of BANA for the red complex, PI and GI of the abutment teeth were significantly greater than those of the nonabutment teeth (p < 0.01). No significant mean difference in pocket depth (PD) was found between the abutment and nonabutment teeth. Logistic regression analysis revealed that abutment teeth, high scores of PI and a maintenance interval longer than 6 months were significant predictors for positive red complex scores (p < 0.05). Conclusion These results suggest that the microbiological risk for periodontitis of abutment teeth is greater than that for nonabutment teeth in RPD wearers.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the effect of implant supported versus implant retained removable partial denture restoring Kennedy's class I cases on the supporting structures by measuring modified gingival index and probing depth for abutment teeth and implants. Subjects and Methods: Twelve patients; who had Kennedy class I mandibular partially edentulous ridge extending distal to the first or second premolar,   were selected from the outpatient clinic, Prosthodontics Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Minia University. The patients were classified into two equal groups; according to the implant superstructures either dome shaped abutment or ball and socket attachment.  Each Patient of both groups had two implants in second molar position (one in each side) and received removable partial denture of the same design. Patients were followed up for one year clinically. Group I: Six patients received RPD supported by dome shaped short abutments.  Group II six patients received RPD retained by ball and socket attachments. Results: Results revealed that, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding modified gingival index and probing depth around the abutment teeth and implant abutment. Conclusion:  The use of dome shaped abutment or ball and O-ring attachment have the same effect on gingival index and probing depth around natural abutments and implants in Kennedy class I mandibular situations.

In the case of losing many teeth and the residual teeth have short clinical crown, design of the denture may hybriddenture. Hybrid denture is a removable partial denture with metal frame which have retention in the form ofprecision attachment. In short clinical crown, placement of crowns and the use of traction can be a problem,because there is no or lack of retention. In the manufacture of hybrid denture with precision attachment retention,using abutment with short clinical crowns is contraindicated. But in some literatures mentioned that the rest of theclinical crown height of not less than 2 mm can still be used as an abutment, but the abutments must be modified,such as making a longer preparation towards cervical edge. In several studies and literature, it is mentioned that toimprove the retention of the crown, the axial wall of abutment must be 4-6°. This article is aimed to report the clinical success of using the hybrid denture on abutment teeth which have short clinical crowns in a patient woman

Oral rehabilitation with free-end removable partial denture (RPD) is one of the major challenges in prosthodontic dentistry. The absence of a distal abutment produces undesirable RPD movement during masticatory function due to the high resilience of the residual ridge, which limits the denture efficiency and may damage the abutment teeth and bone over time. The advent of dental implants made possible to substitute the missing teeth with fixed implant-supported dentures as the first choice treatment to overcome such inconveniences. However, this indication may not be suitable for all patients due to financial, anatomical or systemic health conditions. Nevertheless it is possible to improve free extension RPD by using implants in the posterior edentulous ridge to achieve biological, biomechanical, physiological and social benefits. This article aims to present a case report on oral rehabilitation in which a RPD was made combined with an implant for posterior support in a sizeable edentulous ridge. The patient appreciated the retention improvement and the aesthetic result. The combination of a RPD with a posterior implant is an alternative treatment for cases in which implant-supported fixed prosthesis is not indicated, reducing the displacement and minimizing the limitations of the free-end devices.

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.

<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>

The aim of the present parallel, double-blind investigation was to evaluate the effect of using systemic metronidazole alone or associated to scaling and root planing on adult chronic periodontal disease, monitored at baseline, 30, 60 and 90 days. Twelve subjects were divided into three groups: the first group (Group I - 22 sites) was submitted to scaling and root planing (SRP) alone; the second group (Group II - 30 sites) received SRP and 250 mg of metronidazole (3 times a day for 10 days), and the third group (Group III - 31 sites) was treated with metronidazole alone. The clinical parameters evaluated were probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PlI), gingival index (GI) and bleeding upon probing (BP). Microbiological (BANA test) and enzymatic (Pocket Watch) tests were also performed. All three proposed treatments produced significant improvements in clinical conditions of subjects, from baseline, 30, 60 and 90-day period, except for clinical attachment level. The results obtained by microbiological and enzymatic tests did not show statistical differences among the groups for the 90-day period (r = 0.7924 and r = 0.7757, respectively). In relation to clinical parameters, statistical differences among groups were observed only for the gingival index (p = 0.0261) between Groups I and II, and probing depth (p = 0.0124) between Group I and the others. We conclude that the use of systemic metronidazole did not produce additional effects on the microbiological conditions of these patients with chronic periodontal disease.
