Partial dentures and plaque accumulation

Quality of communicating design features for cobalt chromium removable partial dentures in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

“…The biological and hygienic merits of the lingual bar are well-known to practitioners (38). Although the lingual plate is the most rigid mandibular connector, it may encourage plaque accumulation and risk the health of the supporting dental and gingival tissues (43). However, the lingual plate is well tolerated by a majority of patients and may contribute to indirect retention of the RPD (38,44).…”

Designing cobalt chromium removable partial dentures for patients with shortened dental arches - a pilot survey

“…This was also observed in the present survey as the lingual bar and the lingual plate were the most frequently prescribed type of major connector for the mandibular bilateral FESRPD. While the lingual bar can be considered better from a biological and hygienic point of view, the lingual plate is known to encourage plaque accumulation and may damage the gingivae if inadequately supported (31). However, the lingual plate is well tolerated by many patients and may provide indirect retention for FESRPDs (13, 24).…”

“…Moreover, the impact of such clinical behaviour on the highly reported failure rate of FESRPDs needs to be further investigated. Designing a RPD without any reference to the biological and functional findings may enhance damage to the supporting tissues and accelerate ridge resorption (31–34).…”

Influence of removable partial denture on periodontal indices and microbiological status

“…Taking into account the fact that a professional prophylaxis and plaque control instructions reinforcement session was implemented prior to the elaboration of the dentures, we could consider the plaque accumulation to be connected with the existence of the denture. Although several studies confirm this effect (Brill et al ., 1977; Schwalm et al ., 1977; Bates & Addy, 1978; Addy & Bates, 1979; Kratochvil et al ., 1982; Lechner, 1985; Isidor & Budtz‐Jørgensen, 1990; Yusof & Isa, 1994), others arrive at the conclusion that an RPD will not cause an increase of plaque (Chandler & Brudvik, 1984), provided that specific hygienic techniques and regular recalls are being applied (Bergman et al ., 1971, 1977, 1982).…”
