The purpose of this survey was to determine removable partial denture (RPD) framework design concepts, new materials, and digital technology that are currently being taught in the predoctoral RPD curriculums in the U.S. dental schools. A questionnaire including RPD framework design concepts, materials, and digital technology was created on Qualtrics. The link to the questionnaire was distributed by email in May 2018 to U.S. dental schools. Thirty-nine of the sixty-six schools responded, yielding a response rate of 59%. Most schools are utilizing textbooks by McCracken and/or Stewart as their primary reference (90%). Only a few schools teach incisal rest (24%) and intra-coronal retainers (8%) in the clinic. The majority of schools teach three or less clasp assembly variations for distal extension RPD scenarios and utilize altered cast impression techniques only for selective patient scenarios. Half of schools currently utilize digital technology in their RPD curriculum. Although twenty-five schools (69%) indicated that implant-assisted RPD (IARPD) is being taught in the curriculum, only nineteen of them teach IARPDs in the clinic. Half of schools are utilizing non-metal clasp denture (NMCD) in their curriculum; most of these school provide this treatment as immediate/interim partials or long-term interim partials. Many U.S. dental schools are simplifying RPD design concepts and principles that are being taught. More schools are introducing new concepts and materials such as IARPD and NMCDs while incorporating digital technology in their predoctoral RPD curriculum.

(1) Background: The degree of satisfaction with dental treatment varies among patients, and the discrepancy may exist between the patient’s subjective evaluation and the objective assessment. Further, the optimal methods for increasing patient satisfaction with mastication remain unclear. This study aimed to identify factors affecting masticatory satisfaction in patients with removable partial dentures. (2) Methods: A total of 132 participants (71.0 ± 9.0 years) were included. Masticatory satisfaction was assessed on a visual analog scale. An oral health survey was conducted to assess the number of functional teeth, missing tooth classification: Kennedy classification, occlusal support: Eichner classification, and removable partial dentures wearing jaw. Objective masticatory performance was assessed using gummy jelly, while subjective masticatory ability was assessed using food acceptance status and oral health-related quality of life. The associations of these factors with masticatory satisfaction were assessed. (3) Results: Masticatory satisfaction among removable partial denture wearers was not significantly associated with gender, age, denture wearing jaw, Kennedy classification, and occlusal support. The degree of masticatory satisfaction was significantly greater with higher levels of masticatory function: masticatory performance, food acceptance score, and OHIP-14 score. The OHIP-14 score was the only significant explanatory variable for masticatory satisfaction in the multiple regression analysis; the strongest associations were with the “psychological discomfort” and “physical disability” subscales (p = 0.02 and p = 0.005, respectively). (4) Conclusions: Masticatory satisfaction among removable partial denture wearers was strongly associated with oral health-related quality of life, in which the ability to eat meals comfortably with removable partial dentures is the most important determinant of masticatory satisfaction.

First Case

The paper presents the study of the stresses and the displacements that appear in different areas of the removable partial denture (RPD) with extracoronal attachments under occlusal loading, using FEA. The first step was to create the 3D model of a RPD with ball attachments in case of a class I Kennedy edentulous patient with all six anterior teeth as abutments. All materials were considered homogeneous, isotropic and having linear elasticity. There were assumed two types of constraints: in the first one the model is fixed under the action of the mastication forces; in the second one the rotational movement of the denture’s saddles in the sagittal plane was simulated, towards the edentulous ridge. In the first case, the 3D model and FEA were developed using Autodesk Inventor 2013 software. In the second case, the FEA was done using Autodesk Algor Simulation software. The loading of the model was symmetrically applied, considering the magnitude of the tangential and normal oral forces determined by Las Casas et al. These forces were applied to all the PM1, PM2, M1 and M2 pairs. Each loading case was analysed separately. The results of the two constrain situations are presented graphically, comparatively and show that the amount of the saddle displacement depends on the application area of the mastication force. Maximum displacement was computed at the application of the mastication forces on the M2 and decreases as the force is applied more mesial. The amount of the major connector’s deformation is very little influenced by the site of the force. The largest displacement of the denture was recorded at the distal end of the saddle, with values ​​that depend on the site of the forces. The existence of the rotational movement of the denture’s free end saddles in the sagittal plane, towards the edentulous ridge, changes the values ​​of accumulated stresses in denture during mastication and its Von Mises stress peaks. This analysis can be use to establish the principles of planning and designing the RPD with ball attachments having in mind to minimize the number of repairs caused by fractures of the components.
