An innovative method of using resin-bonded etched cast extracoronal attachments as an esthetic alternative in removable prosthodontics is presented. The technique is simple, conservative, inexpensive, and not time-consuming. The steps of abutment teeth preparation, casting of a precise framework, and cementation are technique-sensitive, and short cuts are not well tolerated. The existing clinical results indicate that the technique is a valuable adjunct in the field of esthetic removable partial prosthodontics.
The population of the United States is aging rapidly. By the year 2000, approximately 36 million Americans will be 65 years of age or older. With respect to dentistry, the oral health status of older adults is improving. In addition to retaining more of their teeth, the demand for dental care is increasing amongst the geriatric population. Because total edentulousness is expected to decline in the future, a greater demand for removable and fixed partial dentures is anticipated. This paper serves as an outline for quick reference when treatment planning the replacement of teeth in the partially edentulous arch.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Superplastic forming of Ti-6A1-4V alloy has been used in the fabrication of a removable denture framework. The method provides the titanium alloy denture framework with excellent physical properties not seen in cast titanium prostheses. PURPOSE: This study describes the technical procedure for fabricating removable dentures with this type of framework and evaluates clinical applications of the dentures in short-term follow-up periods from 6 months to 3 years. RESULTS: Results of this study demonstrated that the dentures functioned well and did not cause any major clinical difficulties. The patients have expressed satisfaction with the dentures at regular recall appointments. CONCLUSION: The clinical observations suggest that this method is suitable for fabricating titanium alloy removable dentures.

The authors have examined the state of oral hygiene in 100 people using partial removable dentures: functionally unstable dentures and functionally stable dentures. The state of oral hygiene was estimated by means of fuchsin index. From the results it follows that the frequency of teeth brushing influences the oral hygiene in people using dentures while no essential statistical significance of the influence of denture type used has been found.

This case report describes the treatment of an adult patient with a combination of fixed and removable prosthodontics. The patient was very conscious of esthetics and asked to have no clasps showing. Therefore, retentive features that produced good esthetics without being overly complex or expensive were provided. This report describes two less commonly used yet very practical and esthetic retentive features that can be used in many situations.
