“…[ 11 ] In addition, flexible resin RPDs are seen to display a biocompatibility similar to that of the cast RPDs, and they do not engage the abutment teeth alone for support and retention; hence; the relative stresses on the abutment teeth are relieved. [ 12 ]…”

Prosthodontic management of palatal defect is fundamental to close patient's oronasal communication and improve masticatory function, phonetics, esthetics, and comfort. Maxillary defects are the direct consequence of the surgical treatment of malformations, neoplasms, or trauma. The primary goal of an obturator is to close palatal defects after maxillectomy and to improve speech and masticatory function. This clinical report describes the use of a flexible silicone obturator for the treatment of a 34-year-old patient with partial maxillectomy due to osteosarcoma of the maxilla. A conventional cast partial denture with a hollow bulb made in acrylic was given as a definitive obturator initially, which was not comfortable for the patient. Alternatively, a new technique of fabrication of obturator with silicone to close palatal defect was decided to establish an acceptable phonetics, comfort, speech, and function for the patient. This silicone obturator gets retention by “snug fit” from the defect site.

“…However, clinical evidence regarding the periodontal condition of abutment teeth for TR-RPDs is lacking. A clinical report [24] and a randomized clinical trial [25] with a small sample size reported no deterioration of the periodontal condition of abutment teeth of RPDs using a polyamide resin after 6-18 months of use. Accordingly, we conducted a clinical trial to clarify the effect of wearing TR-RPDs on the periodontal health of abutment teeth compared with metal clasp-retained RPDs.…”

Short-term effect of thermoplastic resin removable partial dentures on periodontal health: A randomized cross-over trial

This study aimed to compare the short-term effects of thermoplastic resin removable partial dentures (TR-RPDs), referred to as non-metal clasp dentures, with those of metal-clasp-retained RPDs (MC-RPDs) on the periodontal health of abutment teeth. Methods: A randomized cross-over trial was conducted in 28 partially dentate patients. Participants were randomized into two groups and received MC-RPDs followed by TR-RPDs, or vice versa, for 3 months. Periodontal clinical parameters, such as the plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, tooth mobility, and microbiological status of the abutment teeth, were evaluated at the delivery and 3 months after using each RPD. Results: Of the 28 patients enrolled, 24 (mean age, 67.3 years) completed the trial, and 55 abutment teeth were evaluated. The periodontal condition of the abutment teeth did not deteriorate after 3 months of using both types of RPDs. There was no statistically significant difference in the plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, tooth mobility, and the red complex bacteria between TR-and MC-RPDs (p >0.05). The Periotest value for TR-RPDs was significantly lower than that for MC-RPDs (p <0.05). However, this difference was not clinically significant. Conclusions: These results suggest that the influence of TR-RPDs on the periodontal health of abutment teeth was limited within 3 months of use. Trial registration number: The study protocol was registered at UMIN-CTR (UMIN000007310).

Cost-effectiveness analysis of prosthetic treatment with thermoplastic resin removable partial dentures

et al. 2021

The aim of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic resin removable partial dentures (TR-RPDs) with metal claspretained removable partial dentures (MC-RPDs), from the patients' perspective. Methods: Patient-reported outcome measures (Oral health-related quality of life [OHRQoL], patient satisfaction, oral appearance) were assessed among 24 partially dentate subjects who completed a randomized crossover trial comparing TR-RPDs and MC-RPDs. The prosthetic treatment fee for patients was used as the direct cost. The cost of achieving a clinically minimum important difference (MID) in Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) summary score, and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for each outcome measure were determined.
