Metallic frames of removable partial denture: a planning proposal

Abstract

<p>Removable partial denture (RPD) is an important oral rehabilitation resource with an acceptable result even over a very long observation period. However, it is still difficult for many clinicians to make an appropriate RPD. One of the main causes of RPD failure is the missing or incorrect planning of the metal frame. Perhaps, this lack of planning occurs because of the difficulty that clinicians have to choose the components for the metallic frame among the enormous number of possibilities that exist. Thus, the present article aims to propose a simple sequence for the planning of metallic frames of the RPD following five steps: I) Classification of partially edentulous arches; II) Choice of the retainer (direct and indirect, when needed); III) Saddle drawing; IV) Choice of the major connector; and, V) Minor connector drawing.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p>Dental prosthesis; Planning; Removable partial denture.</p>

Evaluation of EDM inclusion into the conventional polishing of printed Co-Cr alloy by selective laser melting

“…Although factors such as build orientation and process parameters can alter the printed alloy properties towards acceptable performance , the roughness of the surface is a perennial problem in SLM manufacturing and may be difficult to overcome in the settings of the alloy printing phase [7,8]. There is still a need to refurbish how to tackle surfaces for various metal prostheses in dental applications, such as metal frames of removable partial dentures, which have a wide aspect of surface exposure [9]. particularly when produced using the SLM technique, which may require additional effort and efficiency [10][11][12].…”

Considerações biomecânicas sobre suporte, retenção e estabilidade em prótese parcial removível convencional: uma revisão narrativa da literatura

“…A prótese parcial removível (PPR) é uma importante estratégia reabilitadora, apresentando resultados aceitáveis mesmo durante um longo período de acompanhamento. No entanto, muitos clínicos apresentam dificuldades em conduzir a terapêutica com PPR efetivamente, do ponto de vista biológico, mecânico e estético 1 . Alcançar um tratamento bemsucedido depende dos esforços do cirurgião-dentista, da equipe técnica e cuidados do paciente.…”
