ABSTRACT Aim This study was carried out with the purpose of comparing three impression methods as to which of them placed tissues most favorably. Methods The methods used were Hindels method, selective tissue placement method and functional reline method. The measurements obtained were analyzed to determine which of the three impression methods placed the mucosal tissues maximally. To compare and measure tissue placements, autopolymerizing acrylic resin platforms were constructed to the height of the occlusal surfaces of the remaining teeth. 15 orthodontic buccal tubes were placed on each side of the platform. They were arranged in three sets of five and attached to the platform over selected reference regions by means of autopolymerizing resin. The selected reference areas were in anterior, middle and posterior areas of the ridge on either side. Results No significant difference was seen in tissue placement in the anterior middle and posterior regions in each of the three methods when each method was assessed separately. Selective tissue placement method placed the tissues maximally (7.547 mm) followed by Hindels method (7.2110 mm) and the least placement was by functional reline method (5.856 mm). Tissue placement was significantly higher in Hindels method as compared to functional reline method (p < 0.001). Conclusion Tissue placement was maximum in the posterior region, followed by the middle region and least in the anterior region of the mandibular ridge for all three methods. Selective tissue placement method showed the maximum overall tissue placement followed by the Hindels method and minimum placement was by functional reline method. Clinical significance Selective tissue placement method provided maximum overall tissue placement and can be a preferred technique for impression making for bilateral distal extension removable partial denture fabrication.

Abstract The Kennedy Class I removable partial denture (RPD) can cause stress to supporting hard and soft tissues and may lead to harmful effects. The purpose of this study is to investigate the pattern of these stresses in three different positions before and following a relining procedure. Ten patients, five males and five females, with a lower distal extension RPD and an opposing upper class III type RPD were selected for this study. Strain gauges together with a strain gauge indicator were used to study the pattern of stresses in three selected positions. Some changes were significantly different at the site of the denture base and at the metal frame near the direct retainer. After relining, the stresses were shared partially by the abutments and partially by the tissues. Maximum stresses were reported during swallowing. No significant difference was noticed between males and females. Citation Al-Ghannam NA, Fahmi FM.

This study was performed to make comparative analysis of the clinical findings between the two different types of the implant-assisted removable partial dentures: removable partial dentures using implant surveyed bridge as an abutment (ISBRPD) and overdenture type of removable partial denture using implant attachment (IARPD). Implant cumulative survival rate, marginal bone resorption, probing depth, peri-implant inflammation, bleeding, plaque, calculus, and complications were evaluated on 24 patients who were treated with implants in conjunction with removable partial denture and have used them for at least 1 year (ISCRPD: n=12; IARPD: n=12). There was no failed implant and all implants were functioning without clinical mobility. Marginal bone loss of ISCRPD (1.44 ± 0.57 mm) was significantly lower than that of IARPD (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in probing depth, peri-implant inflammation, bleeding, and plaque between the two groups (p>0.05), while the calculus was significantly more observed in ISCRPD group than in IARPD group (p<0.05). The retention loss of IARPD was the most common complication. Within the limits of the present study, it was found that well-planned ISBRPD was clinically appropriate. Longitudinal and systematic clinical studies are necessary to confirm these results.

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.
