Abstract

Mucosal Thickness Changes in Flexible and Conventional Cobalt Chrome Removable Partial Dentures Wearers

Highlights

  • If you are missing only a few teeth scattered over either arch, or even if you have a minimum of two teeth on both sides of the arch, you can most inexpensively replace the missing teeth with a removable partial denture (RPD). [1] There are several types of RPDs

  • The resorption occurring beneath denture bases has been investigated in which there is decreasing in both high and density of the underlying bone. [6,7,8,9] RPDs have been associated with the loss of periodontal attachment and marginal bone loss adjacent to abutments, [10] and traumatic ulceration of mucosa. [11]

  • The patients were divided into two groups: the first group selected to construct flexible removable partial dentures (FRPD) done by using thermoplastic Nylon Valplast® (China) and the second group selected to construct cobalt chrome removable partial dentures (Co-Cr RPD)

Summary

Introduction

If you are missing only a few teeth scattered over either arch (upper or lower teeth), or even if you have a minimum of two teeth on both sides of the arch, you can most inexpensively replace the missing teeth with a removable partial denture (RPD). [1] There are several types of RPDs. The differences between them are the materials (Heat cured acrylic resin, cobalt chrome, or thermoplastic Nylon Valplast®) used to support the denture teeth and retain the RPD in the mouth. [4] Factors related to the rate of resorption are divided into www.rafidaindentj.net. The resorption occurring beneath denture bases has been investigated in which there is decreasing in both high and density of the underlying bone. The sub mucosa is firmly attached to the periosteum of the underlying supporting bone and will usually withstand the pressures of the dentures. [12] The purpose of this study was to determine the mucosal thickness changes in two types of removable partial denture base materials (Cobalt Chrome and Flexible) wearers over a two months period When the sub mucosal layer is thin, the soft tissues will be nonresilient, and the mucous membrane will be traumatized.
