Summary: | Objective To provide a clinical reference by evaluating the restorative results of an accurate
impression technique for distal ⁃ extension removable partial dentures. Methods Forty ⁃ two patients with free ⁃ end
dentition defects who visited the Prosthodontic Department of Nanjing Stomatological Hospital, Medical School of
Nanjing University, between April 2017 and January 2018 were selected. The final impression was made by an accurate
impression technique to fabricate fifty⁃two removable partial dentures with casting frameworks. The restorative result
was judged by clinical examination and patient feedback immediately after wearing dentures and at 1 week, 3 months
and 6 months. Results All fifty⁃two dentures for forty⁃two patients were seated successfully, with good retention and
stability. Complications occurred throughout the 6 ⁃ month follow ⁃ up, including 4 cases of mucous pain, 4 cases of
retention force attenuation and 1 case of abutment fracture. There were no periodontics problems. The dentures garnered
high patient satisfaction. Conclusion The accurate impression technique for distal ⁃ extension removable partial
dentures showed good clinical results in this follow⁃up investigation. |
