ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical effect of lithium disilicate glass ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (CRBFPDs) on single anterior tooth loss to provide a reference for the selection of restoration methods for single anterior tooth loss.@*Methods@#This study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee, and informed consent was obtained from the patients. Forty-two patients with less than two anterior teeth with monomaxillary loss were included in this study. After 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years, the aesthetic and functional effects of the restorations and the periodontal health status were evaluated, and the visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess patient satisfaction.@*Results@#During the observation period, the connector fractured in one case within 3 months. One case had debonded within 2 years. The aesthetic restoration effect of all lithium disilicate glass ceramic CRBFPDs was categorized as Class A. The periodontal health was good, there was no clinical absorption in the soft and hard tissues of the abutment or subbridge, periodontal status according to the evaluation indices was classified as class A, and the total satisfaction rate of the patient was 100%.@*Conclusion@#For single anterior tooth loss patients, lithium disilicate glass ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed partial denture can achieve the restoration effect of less invasion, better adhesion, aesthetics, comfort and good biocompatibility. With high patient satisfaction, it can be considered an ideal restoration method for replacing a single anterior tooth.
ABSTRACT
Objective: The study aims to evaluate the emotional, behavioural, and social effects of single or multiple anterior tooth loss. It also compares the effectiveness of the removable and fixed prosthesis to address the impact of anterior tooth loss. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 70 subjects who presented to the Department of Prosthetic Dental Sciences. A questionnaire was distributed and the data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 18.0 and values less than 0.05 % were considered statistically significant. Results: The participant's difficulty to accept loss of their anterior tooth, embarrassment and confidence were changed significantly after wearing the prosthesis (P< 0.05). Moreover, fixed partial denture had more effect than removal partial denture. It was claimed by 62.9% of the participants that they were not prepared for the effect of tooth loss and 47.1% of them thought that a prior explanation from the dentist would have helped them overcome their fear of losing their teeth. Conclusion: The maximum impact of anterior tooth loss was felt on confidence followed by embarrassment. The participants felt more comfortable after wearing their prosthesis. Fixed partial denture had more effect than removable partial denture.(AU)
Objetivo: O estudo visa avaliar os efeitos emocionais, comportamentais e sociais da perda dentária anterior unitária ou múltipla. Ele também compara a eficácia da protese removível e da fixa para lidar com o impacto da perda dentária anterior. Material e Métodos: O estudo foi realizado em 70 indivíduos que se apresentaram ao Department of Prosthetic Dental Sciences. Foi distribuído um questionário e os dados analisados estatisticamente no SPSS versão 18.0 e valores inferiores a 0,05% foram considerados estatisticamente significativos. Resultados: A dificuldade do participante em aceitar a perda de seu dente anterior, constrangimento e confiança mudaram significativamente após usar a prótese (P <0,05). Além disso, a prótese parcial fixa teve mais efeito do que a prótese parcial removível. Foi alegado por 62,9% dos participantes que não estavam preparados para o efeito da perda dentária e 47,1% deles achavam que uma explicação prévia do cirurgião-dentista os teria ajudado a superar o medo de perder os dentes. Conclusão: O impacto máximo da perda dentária anterior foi sentido na confiança, seguido de constrangimento. Os participantes se sentiram mais confortáveis após o uso de suas próteses. A prótese parcial fixa teve mais efeito do que a prótese parcial removível (AU)

Objective In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of single-retainer all-ceramic resin-bonded fixed partial denture (RBFPD) on the single anterior tooth loss patients. Methods A total of 20 single-retainer all-ceramic RBFPD were fabricated and evaluated in a two-year follow-up observation. The restorations were examined on the basis of the American Public Health Association (APHA) criteria. Results A total of 20 single-retainer all-ceramic RBFPD achieved class A evaluation after a six-month follow-up observation. One single-retainer all-ceramic RBFPD was classified as class B for secondary caries after a one-year follow-up observation. After a two-year follow-up observation, one single-retainer all-ceramic RBFPD was classified as class B because of secondary caries, and one single-retainer all-ceramic RBFPD was classified as class B because of fracture. Conclusion Single-retainer all-ceramic RBFPD is a promising and optional method in replacing single anterior tooth.
