Clinical evaluation of patients eight to nine years after placement of removable partial dentures
Abstract
Removable partial dentures, constructed following principles outlined in this study, provided reasonable service for an 8- to 9-year period for patients who were wearing them. The oral hygiene of the patients was less than ideal. Few teeth were lost by patients in the study. There were no significant differences in caries incidence, changes in sulcus depths, tooth mobility, or alveolar bone loss between patients who were wearing their dentures and those who were not. There were increased levels of gingival inflammation seen in regions covered by the removable partial dentures and in gingivae apical to clasp arms. Other than these findings, there seemed to be no direct evidence that the removable partial dentures were causing dental or periodontal breakdown.

Longitudinal studies of distal extension removable dental prostheses indicate that a favorable periodontal prognosis may be expected provided periodontal disease is treated and adequate preprosthetic plaque control established, periodontal health and oral hygiene maintained through self-performed plaque control and periodic maintenance, and patient's motivation reinforced to enhance compliance.
“Longitudinal studies of distal extension RDPs indicate that a favorable periodontal prognosis may be expected provided the following conditions are satisfied: 1) periodontal disease, if present, is treated and an adequate preprosthetic plaque control regimen established; 2) periodontal health and oral hygiene are maintained through selfperformed plaque control measures 104 and periodic maintenance”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
