Background/purpose:Little is known about the force-transmission characteristicsand patterns of telescopic-retained removable partial dentures (RPDs) as related to their typeand rigidity (rigid and/or resilient) and the number of abutting teeth supporting the tele-scopic dentures. In this study, we compared the strain around the abutting teeth and eden-tulous ridges supporting telescopic-retained RPDs with different designs using a straingauge technique.Materials and methods:A maxillary model including four abutting teeth (# 14, 13, 23, and 24)was constructed and is referred to as Case 1. In total, four RPD frameworks (two resilient andtwo rigid) were fabricated for Case 1 with a conventional telescope retainer and attachment-retained telescopic retainer (ARTR) groups. A vertical static load of 280 N was applied, andstrain values obtained from the strain gauges were recorded. RPDs were modified accordingto the following casesdCase 2 included teeth 14, 13, and 23; Case 3 included teeth 14 and13; and Case 4 included teeth 13 and 23dand measurements were repeated. A randomizedblock analysis of the variance test was conducted using a general linear model procedure withstatistical software. Multiple comparisons between groups were performed using Tukey’shonest significant difference test (aZ0.05).Results:RPDs with an ARTR produced more strain distal to the abutting teeth than RPDs witha conventional telescope retainer. Both retainer types with a rigid design produced morestrain distal to the abutting teeth than did retainers with a resilient design. RPDs supportedby four, three, and two unilateral abutting teeth produced similar strain patterns. RPDs sup-ported by two bilateral abutting teeth produced the highest strain distal to the abuttingteeth, but there was no significant difference between the strains produced by RPDs supported by either two unilateral or bilateral abutting teeth. The highest strain values wereobtained from strain gauges distal to the “terminal” abutting teeth. Directions of the prin-cipalstrainwereinaverticaldirectionforgauges located distal to the terminal abuttingteeth. More strain was produced on the posterior edentulous ridges.Conclusion:RPDs with an ARTR and both retainer typeswitharigiddesignproducedmorestrain distal to the abutting teeth. Using more than two abutting teeth did not improve thestrain patterns of the tested RPDs. More strain was produced on the posterior edentulousridges.Copyrightª2012, Association for Dental Sciencesof the Republic of China. Published byElsevier Taiwan LLC. All rights reserved.

Effects of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on human dentin and enamel microstructure and function Gökduman, Kurtuluş; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biotechnology (2005) In recent years bleaching of vital teeth has become popular among both dentist and patients. Different bleaching agents were used for this purpose. They are either applied professionally at high dose (office bleaching) or by patient at lower dose (home bleaching). In the present work we studied the effects of a high concentration bleaching agent (35% hydrogen peroxide), and a low concentration bleaching agent (17% carbamide peroxide) on human enamel and dentin using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectro...
A natural tooth's stress distribution in occlusion with a dental implant Akpinar, I; Anil, N; Parnas, L (2000-06-01) The loss of one or more teeth is normally treated with conventional fixed or removable partial dentures or with implant supported fixed or removable dentures. This study investigated stresses formed around the implant and the antagonist natural tooth under occlusal force in the substitution of a missing lower first molar with a rigid or resilient IMZ (Intra Mobil Zylinder) implant, using the finite element stress analysis method. The results indicate that a bite force of 143 N resulted in high compressive s...
EFFECT OF GLASS IONOMER LINERS ON BONDING STRENGTH OF LAMINATE VENEERS KEDICI, PS; KALIPCILAR, B; BILIR, OG (Elsevier BV, 1992-07-01) This study compared shear bond strengths of porcelain laminate veneers, fabricated on refractory dies, which were lengthened incisally by 0.5 mm. Specimens were divided into four separate groups. In group A, the teeth were reduced 0.5 mm and the bonding was to enamel. The teeth of the remaining groups were reduced 1.0 mm and the bonding was to dentin. For two of the groups glass ionomer liners were applied before etching. Bonding to enamel was best, with cohesive fractures in porcelain. In the other groups,...
Design and mechanical analysis of a new dental implant that would mimic natural tooth with a periodontal ligament Pektaş, Ömer; Tönük, Ergin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) Dental implant is an artificial dental root that is used to construct dental restorations, similar to the original teeth, in order to regain the function of missing teeth of patients experiencing tooth loss. At the interface between the jawbone and the roots of natural teeth, a thin, elastic, shock absorbing tissue, called the periodontal ligament (PDL), forms a cushion which provides certain mobility to the natural teeth. The restorations supported by dental implants, however, involve completely rigid stru...
Preparation and characterization of hydroxyapatite containing acrylic bone cements Başgörenay, Burcu; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2004) Acrylic bone cements are one of the most important biomaterials used in orthopaedic surgery and dental applications to fill the cavities or provide mechanical interlock between prosthesis and the bone. Their biocompatibility can be increased by addition of different materials into the formulation, such as hydroxyapatite. Besides all the advantages, bone cements have several drawbacks including tissue necrosis, chemical necrosis, shrinkage of the cement and aseptic loosening. Therefore painstaking research a...
