“…Some of the potential disadvantages of RPD treatment are the risk of developing caries, periodontal involvement of the abutment teeth, continuous ridge resorption, and unesthetic appearance of the clasps 1–6 . Numerous articles have been written on RPD design, ultimately guiding clinicians to construct simple and functional prostheses 7–13 …”

Management of partially edentulous patients can still be a prosthodontic challenge. Replacing the missing teeth with conventional removable partial dentures (RPDs) is the traditional method for the treatment of partial edentulism; however, there are many potential disadvantages associated with traditional RPDs. With the advent of osseointegrated dental implants, possibilities of prosthetic reconstruction for partial edentulism are endless. This article discusses the implant-retained partial overdenture (IRPOD) with resilient attachments as a predictable and cost-effective treatment for partially edentulous patients.

“…All the RPD worn by the participants were designed based on the stress distribution concept with rigid connection of the abutment teeth and retainers without any hinges. In this RPD design concept, the denture base of the well-adjusted RPD would fit well with the compressed mucosa under functional pressure [15]. Meanwhile, the median values of the VD (the vertical gap at the RRT from the TST of in-use RPD) were 184.4 and 93.8 µm in digital and conventional impression techniques, respectively.…”

Although digital impression using an intraoral scanner (IOS) has been applied for removable partial denture (RPD) fabrication, it is still unclear how the morphology of a residual ridge recorded by digital impression would differ from that recorded by conventional impression. This in vivo study investigated the morphological difference in the recorded residual ridge between digital and conventional impressions. Vertical and horizontal displacements (VD and HD) in residual ridges recorded by digital and conventional impressions were assessed in 22 participants (15 female; mean age 78.2 years) based on the morphology of the tissue surface of in-use RPD. Additionally, the mucosal thickness of the residual ridge was recorded using an ultrasound diagnostic device. VD and HD were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the correlation of mucosal thickness with VD and HD was analyzed using Spearman’s ρ. The VD of digital impression was significantly greater than that of a conventional impression (p = 0.031), while no significant difference was found in HD (p = 0.322). Meanwhile, the mucosal thickness showed no significant correlation with the recorded morphology of the residual ridge, regardless of the impression techniques. It was concluded that the digital impression would result in a greater displacement in the height of the residual ridge from the morphology of in-use RPD than the conventional impression.

“…It was not until the 1950s that some of these clinical debates were resolved in an evidence‐based approach. By this time, poor clinical results and dramatic improvements in fixed prosthodontics combined to greatly reduce the level of respect for the RPD both by the public and within the profession 80,81 …”

Turning Points in Removable Partial Denture Philosophy

This article discusses key turning points in removable partial denture (RPD) philosophy. Early advancements tended to focus upon improving the technical quality of the prosthesis itself. The beginning of the 20th century brought significant public pressure upon the dental profession due to consequences associated with poor quality fixed prostheses. The result was dramatic improvement and heavy demand for RPDs. Technical and efficiency issues conspired to temper this enthusiasm, eventually resulting in reduced respect for RPDs. By highlighting key writings and technical issues during these periods of change it is hoped the reader will gain a more precise understanding of the current status of RPD philosophy.
