“…In patients with marked microstomia in whom conventional prosthetic rehabilitation is not feasible, mouth and facial rehabilitation, as well as soft dental prosthesis, may be proposed (48,49). However, flexible dentures are difficult to adapt and maintain, with consequences in terms of moisture retention and loss of support.…”

Objective. To review the literature and collect expert advice for proposing preventive and curative treatments of mouth and dental involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma). Methods. The literature pertaining to mouth and/or dental involvement related to SSc was reviewed, and recommendations were developed according to the suggestions of a French multidisciplinary working group of experts and validated by a lecture committee. Results. Dentists face 3 main issues in caring for SSc patients: oral mucosa involvement, manducatory apparatus and mouth involvement responsible for limitations in mouth opening, and treatment-related adverse events. An increased risk of tongue carcinoma has been noted. In patients with severe limitation in mouth opening (<30 mm), recommended treatments are a specific mouth-opening rehabilitation program, flexible sectional dentures, and splint therapy. Indications for dental implants depend on the severity of SSc, comorbidities, and/or ongoing bisphosphonate treatment. Prevention of mouth infections and caries implies patient education and teaching about mouth and dental hygiene, periodontal maintenance, and treatment of sicca syndrome. Cessation of tobacco use is mandatory. Patient-tailored rehabilitation may improve limitations in mouth opening. Systematic dental panoramic radiography allows for the early detection of dental caries. Conclusion. Prevention of oral and dental complications is a major issue in patients with SSc. Dental treatment should be tailored to limitations in mouth opening, disease severity, and ongoing treatments.

“…Even though flexible RPDPs have been available to the dental profession for almost 65 years and have received much attention in the dental advertisements over the past two decades there is almost no evidence-based information in the relevant literature concerning clinical performance, follow-up or incidence data for these prostheses (1,8). Most relevant articles focus on case or case series reports and evaluation of physicomechanical properties of thermoplastic materials (11)(12)(13)(14).…”

SažetakSvrha: U ovom su se istraživanju s pomoću upitnika željeli istražiti znanje, stajališta i moguće razlike u korištenju savitljivih pomičnih djelomičnih proteza (PDP) među doktorima dentalne medicine (DDM) u Grčkoj i Hrvatskoj. Materijali i metode: Upitnik od 16 pitanja sastavljen je izvorno na engleskome jeziku te je preveden na grčki i hrvatski dvosmjernim prevođenjem. Nakon toga testirani su smisao, točnost, jasnoća i homogenost prijevoda upitnika, a u tome je sudjelovalo nekoliko grčkih i hrvatskih doktora dentalne medicine koji govore engleski gotovo kao materinski jezik. Nakon potrebnih ispravaka upitnici su korišteni u dvjema online anketama koje su, zajedno s informacijom o anketi i upitom o pristanku ispitanika na anketu, poslane na e-adrese gotovo četiri tisuće doktora dentalne medicine u svakoj državi. Prikupljeni podatci analizirani su Hi-kvadrat testom uz razinu značajnosti od a = 0,05. Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 378 DDM-a iz Grčke i 304 iz Hrvatske. Njih 137 (36,2 %) iz Grčke i 56 (18,4 %) iz Hrvatske opskrbljivali su svoje pacijente savitljivim PDP-ima. Statistička analiza provedena među svim DDM-ima koji izrađuju savitljive proteze nije otkrila značajnu razliku među spolovima (P > 0,05), ali jest značajnu razliku među dobnim skupinama (P < 0,01), godinama rada u struci (P < 0,05), specijalizaciji (P < 0,001) te instruiranosti o savitljivim protezama (P < 0,001). Analiza među DDM-ima u objema državama pokazala je razliku u spolu i dobnim skupinama (P < 0,01), ali ne i među grupama DDM-a s više iskustva, specijalizacijom ili instruiranosti o savitljivim protezama (P > 0,05). Zaključak: Istraživa-nje je upozorilo na razlike među zemljama u postotcima DDM-a koji upotrebljavaju, odabiru i svojim pacijentima omogućuju izradu savitljivih PDP-a. Dob DDM-a, godine rada i instruiranost bili su povezani s opskrbom pacijenata savitljivim protezama, a udobnost, estetika i cijena bili su razlozi za odluku o uporabi savitljivih PDP-a. Kliničke implikacije: Premda DDM-i tijekom školovanja nisu educirani o savitljivim PDP-ima, njih gotovo trećina svojim pacijentima predlaže takvu vrstu terapije. Kako bi ovi protetski radovi bili dugoročno uspješni, potrebno je kliničko obrazovanje, više iskustva i svakako više istraživanja u ovom području.Ključne riječi djelomične zubne proteze, mobilne; stav zdravstvenih djelatnika; stomatolozi; najlon 1 Zavod za protetiku Stomatološkog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Ateni,

“…5 Acetal was proposed in 1971 as an unbreakable thermoplastic resin material. 6 It was during this period that rapid injection systems developed the first tooth colored clasps with a thermoplastic flouropolymer. 7 In 1992 the first pre-formed tooth colored clasps made of nylon were introduced.…”

ABSTRACT:Complete or partial denture fabrication encounters a major problem when hard and soft tissue undercuts, mandibular tori, exostosis, titled teeth, interferences and de-arranged occlusion are seen in the oral cavity and thus complicate the treatment plan. Flexible dentures have emerged as a viable option to treat various edentulous conditions where conventional dentures have some limitations of their rigid base. The present article reviews the evolution, applications, advantages, disadvantages, indications and contraindications of flexible dentures.
