“…A removable partial denture (RPD) is an appropriate treatment to restore missing teeth for partially edentulous patients whose remaining teeth have been weakened by severe tooth wear or periodontitis [1-3]. Recently, the combination of RPDs and implants has become a common method for restoring missing teeth with heavy resorption of partially edentulous ridges [4-6], and for recovery after failure of implant-supported fixed prostheses [7], due to the adaptability of RPDs with respect to changes in oral conditions [8, 9].…”

Background/Aims: Speech impairment during the initial phase of removable partial denture (RPD) treatment can prevent patient adaptation to RPDs. This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of oral morphology on speech production in subjects wearing RPDs with major connectors. Methods: Two types of connectors were fabricated for 17 subjects with normal dentitions: covering the middle palate (M-bar) and the anterior/posterior palate (AP-bar). Four target sounds ([∫i], [t∫i], [çi], and [ki]) were evaluated under 3 recording conditions: no connector, M-bar, and AP-bar. The mean appearance ratios of correct labels (MARCs) were calculated as parameters representing speech production accuracy with the speech evaluation system. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on palate height, dental arch width, and front space volume of the oral cavity. Results: Based on the multiple linear regression test, a significant association was found between the MARCs of [∫i] with M-bar and front space (p = 0.036). In the subgroup analysis, the AP-bar had a significant effect on the MARCs of [∫i] among subjects with high palate (p = 0.026), narrow arch (p = 0.004), and small front space (p = 0.014). Conclusion: RPDs with major connectors could disturb speech production among patients with high palates, narrow arches, and small front spaces.

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.

“…7 Because of its lower cost, this type of treatment can be indicated for solving several tooth situations that require only one prosthesis. 8 The following are three ways to perform an ORPD: (I) with occlusal metallic covering and complete resin or ceramic veneer; 8,10,11 (II) with an occlusal resin covering and partial resin veneer; 12 (III) with an occlusal resin covering and a complete buccal veneer, as described in this report. Types I and III are very similar with respect to the final esthetics once there is a color and contour pattern: they lack a visible line between the worn tooth and the prosthetic tooth.…”

The process of tooth loss throughout life associated with severe occlusal wear may pose a challenge in the rehabilitation of partially edentulous arches. In these cases, many therapeutic procedures are necessary because each tooth must be restored to obtain the correct anatomical contour and recover the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). A removable partial denture (RPD) with occlusal/incisal coverage, also known as an overlay RPD, is an alternative treatment option with fewer interventions, and, consequently, lower cost. This clinical report reviews the principles involved in the clinical indication for an overlay RPD, as well as the necessary planning and execution, to discuss the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of this treatment, identifying the indications, advantages, and disadvantages of this procedure through the presentation of a clinical case. The overlay RPD can be an alternative treatment for special situations involving partially edentulous arches in patients who need reestablishment of the OVD and/or realignment of the occlusal plane, and it can be used as a temporary or definitive treatment. The main advantages of this type of treatment are its simplicity, reversibility, and relatively low cost; however, further studies are needed to ensure the efficacy of this treatment option.
