OBJECTIVE: To review the periodontal considerations associated with removable partial denture therapy. METHODOLOGY: Using a MEDLINE search, for "removable partial dentures periodontal", a total of 712 papers from peer-reviewed journals came in results. The MEDLINE search was made more specific by applying filters to the key phrase with other key words such as "periodontal evaluation"(140), "direct retainers"(77), "non-surgical periodontal"(8), "surgical periodontal"(180), "plaque"(249), "periodontal indices"(112), "tooth mobility,"(180) "periodontal maintenance,"(60) "splinting,"(198) and "split major connector"(2). Both in vivo and in vitro studies on the Perio-prosthodontic aspects of RPD treatment were included in the study pool whereas case Series and case reports were excluded. RESULT: A total of 1206 studies were collected from the search engine. After applying the exclusion criteria and filtering the duplicates a total of 95 studies were included for the narrative review. CONCLUSIONS: Out of all the factors, recall and oral and denture hygiene have the utmost importance. KEYWORDS: Perio-prosthodontics, removable partial denture, periodontal indices.
Objective: Current study was planned to assess the trends of occlusal appliance construction and selection, among the resident dental surgeons. Method: Data was collected from 51 residents at Fatima Memorial Dental Hospital, which were given a questionnaire that had 20 questions. The frequency of each answer was calculated and compared between residents of different departments and was analyzed by SPSS version 20. Results: The selection and construction of occlusal appliances among the residents was inappropriate. Soft occlusal appliances were the most selected and practiced appliance. Occlusal appliances need to be revisited in the literature with easy to practice guidelines. Keywords: Occlusal appliances, Soft occlusal appliances, Temporo-mandibular joints.
Objective: To compare changes, in linear dimension of Alginate impression by disinfection with immersion in 0.525% Sodium Hypochlorite solution and no disinfection. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Department of Prosthodontics, Punjab Dental Hospital Lahore. Period: April 2018 to September 2018. Material & Methods: Sixty alginate impressions were made of a stainless steel die and were randomly divided into two groups. The 30 control group impressions were poured only after rinsing with tap water, whereas the 30 experimental group impressions were first immersed in 0.525% Sodium Hypochlorite solution for 10 minutes and then poured after rinsing with tap water. The distance between two engraved lines C and D on die were measured in the casts of both groups. Results: The mean difference of mean dimensional changes between both methods was 0.01mm. Conclusion: The disinfection of the alginate impression material by immersion in 0.525% Sodium Hypochlorite solution does not cause significant effect on dimensional stability of alginate impression material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
