“…As well as being easier to break, they are also easier to repair than a skeletonized prosthesis [ 3 ]. A skeletonized prosthesis is recommended because it is aesthetically valid and to obviate the disadvantage of breaking the prosthesis; and, from the point of view of satisfaction, removable metal prostheses have a higher degree of approval in partially edentulous patients [ 4 ]. In the case of upper and lower total prosthesis, the breakage event is more evident for the lower prosthesis as its horseshoe design creates greater tension and, therefore, fragility in the center of the prosthesis in the fifth sextant.…”

COVID-19 and Prosthetic Emergencies, Home Care in Fragile Patients: A Case Report

A case of home care is proposed on a frail non-ambulatory patient who presents an old lower total prosthesis in resin broken in several parts. The various pieces of the prosthesis were joined by the patient, as if it were a puzzle, using a glue for plastics and wood. The union of the parts attached with glue was the consequence of the lockdown in the COVID-19 period and of the economic hardship experienced by the elderly disabled patient during the pandemic period. The procedure for preserving the glued parts was carried out carefully, trying not to modify the edges of the glued pieces, to join them correctly, thereby restoring the correct occlusion to subsequently perform the relining. The old lower total prosthesis obtained after the repair and relining operations allowed for the restoration of the patient’s chewing and smile. The procedure presented is easily repeatable, risk-free and achievable even in a short time, satisfying elderly non-self-sufficient patients who need interventions for prosthetic emergencies during a period of confinement.

“…One of the most frequently applied questionnaires is the visual analogue scale (VAS), as it represents a generic, multidimensional, and easily understandable instrument. However, PROs for RPD wearers have rarely been evaluated [ 21 , 22 ]. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is only one study available reporting on PROMs in D-RPDs with precious metal alloy primary crowns [ 23 ].…”

(1) Background: An alternative material to precious metal alloys are non-precious metal alloys. The material properties of these are different and, therefore, their clinical, biological and mechanical behaviors may also differ. Hence, the purpose of this in vivo investigation was to analyze the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of patients restored with non-precious metal alloy double crown-retained removable partial dentures (NP-D-RPDs). (2) Methods: Partially edentulous patients were restored with non-precious metal alloy partially veneered NP-D-RPDs. Survival rates, success rates, failures and patient-reported outcomes were investigated and statistically evaluated. (3) Results: A total of 61 patients (65.6 ± 10.8 years) were included and clinically and radiographically examined. The mean follow-up time was 25.2 ± 16.5 months. In total, 82 NP-D-RPDs and 268 abutment teeth were examined. The overall survival rate of the NP-D-RPDs was 100% after a mean follow-up time of 2.1 years. The overall success rate was 68.3%. The overall satisfaction with the NP-D-RPDs was 94.3%. (4) Conclusions: Non-precious metal alloy partially veneered NP-D-RPDs seem to be an efficient alternative to precious metal alloy RPDs with excellent patient-reported outcomes.

“…2 Several treatment modalities are available to treat partial edentulism with different reported oral health-related quality of life and other patient-reported outcomes. 3 Among the treatment modalities, removable partial dentures (RPDs) have long been considered a viable and affordable treatment option, though with varying degrees of patient compliance for prosthesis wearing. 4 The association between the use of RPDs and gingivitis and periodontitis has been reported.…”

Purpose: To provide, in a clinical case-control study, 1-year data on edentulous residual ridge dimensional changes for patients wearing removable partial dentures (RPD) with Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) framework, fabricated with a digital workflow, and a control group of untreated patients. Materials and Methods: Ten patients were treated with PEEK RPD, and six controls were studied. Intraoral scans at baseline (T0) and after a median period of 1 year (T1) were superimposed, trimmed, and reoriented (T0r and T1r), moved to a metrology software, and realigned. A curve (C0) was then traced on T0r, along the residual ridge crest; its projection (C1) on T1r was obtained. The mean distance C0-C1 was the dependent variable of interest and represented the 1-year changes in the height of the edentulous ridge. In addition, mean 3D distance between T0 and T1 at each edentulous area was measured. Differences in these outcomes measured between RPD treated and control groups were statistically assessed. Results: Twenty-six and 14 edentulous areas were investigated in the RPD treated and control groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed for potentially confounding variables, such as median follow-up time (12.5 vs. 13 months, respectively), the alignment accuracy between T0r and T1r (0.01 mm vs. 0 mm, respectively), the median number of remaining teeth (6 vs. 8.5, respectively), and the median length of edentulous areas (25.5 mm vs. 22.8 mm, respectively). For the outcomes of interest, no statistically significant difference was seen in the mean distance between C0 and C1 (i.e., changes in residual ridge height: −0.39 ± 0.52 mm vs. −0.52 ± 0.54 mm, respectively) or in the mean 3D distance at corresponding points of the denture bearing areas (−0.3 ± 0.46 mm vs. −0.4 ± 0.35, respectively). Conclusions: Although 1 year is a relatively short observation period, this clinical study shows that there are no short-term differences in edentulous residual ridge height and overall dimensions between patients wearing PEEK RPD, fabricated with a digital workflow, and controls without an RPD.
