Evaluation of load transmission by distal-extension removable partial dentures by using reflection photoelasticity

Finite element contact stress analysis of the RPD abutment tooth and periodontal ligament

“…[4][5][6][7][8] To optimize the denture design that can ensure minimal invasion to the remaining oral tissues, we must fully understand the damages to the abutment teeth and the supporting periodontal ligament (PL) potentially caused by the RPD. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] However, since the stresses and strains in the periodontal tissues are hardly experimentally measurable, it remains uncertain to what extent the forces from a RPD are acting upon the stresses in the remaining oral tissues.…”

Telescopic retainers for removable partial dentures

“…Reduction of lateral stress on abutments by using telescopic retainers has been well documented. 7 The other advantages include, 1. In case of failure of one abutment, the prosthesis can be easily repaired with acrylic resin by fabricating the secondary crown again into a Pontic, 2.…”
