Influence of removable partial denture on periodontal indices and microbiological status
Abstract
Thirty patients (19 men and 11 women) were provided with a removable partial denture (RPD) and assigned randomly to two groups: 15 patients were called back twice a year for plaque control, reinforcement of instructions, denture hygiene control and professional prophylaxis; the other 15 were not called back. The 30 patients were examined after 2–3 weeks following the end of the prosthetic treatment, after 1 and 2 years. At each examination, the following parameters were recorded [gingival inflammation, plaque index (Pl I), tooth mobility, attachment level, pocket depth] and a bacteriological examination of subgingival plaque was carried out. Few differences appeared between the two groups; the values observed show a relatively low level of hygiene and but little motivation with regard to prophylaxis techniques.

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.
