The effect of removable partial denture framework design on gingival inflammation: A clinical model
Abstract
A clinical trial using the experimental gingivitis model developed for periodontal clinical research was performed to evaluate the effect of a removable partial denture mandibular major connector design on the surrounding gingival tissues. A comparison of the state of health of adjacent gingival tissues was made between the linguoplate (control) and cingulum bar (test) major connectors. Clinical parameters were recorded in a single-blind crossover experimental gingivitis trial. Subjects were brought to a level of optimal gingival health and then randomly assigned to use one framework design while refraining from any oral hygiene. Measurements were made at 7-day intervals for 21 days. The subjects were returned to optimal oral health and repeated the experimental period with the alternate design. Results showed a greater increase in mean gingival inflammation with the control than with the test removable partial denture, suggesting that the cingulum bar has fewer detrimental effects on gingival tissues than the linguoplate major connector. Results of this study suggest that the experimental gingivitis model can be a useful and valid system for studying the potential effects of a removable partial denture design on surrounding oral tissues.

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.
