Understanding Irritation from Removable Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are a transformative solution for patients missing one or more teeth, restoring both aesthetics and masticatory function. However, irritation—whether from pressure sores, tissue inflammation, or mechanical discomfort—can sometimes arise, potentially affecting a patient’s confidence and oral health. ...
1. Introduction
Dental implants represent one of the most significant advances in restorative dentistry, offering predictable, long-term replacement for missing teeth. The long-term success of dental implants depends on osseointegration, a biologically mediated process that establishes a direct and stable bond between the implant surface and surrounding bone. Central to this process is bone m...
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai stabilitas implant gigi dalam hubungannya dengan desain implant memakai analisis frekuensi resonansi. Desain implant yang diteliti adalah kerucut vs semi kerucut dan pitch lebar vs pitch sempit. Duapuluh pasien dengan daerah premolar ompong bilateral di rahang atas dipilih untuk penelitian ini.
Implant kerucut dengan pitch lebar (kelompok 1) dipasang dal...
