| Abstract: | Background Implant-supported removable partial dentures (ISRPDs) provide effective prosthodontic treatment for partially edentulous patients. ISRPDs offer greater patient satisfaction and better oral function compared with removable partial dentures (RPDs) by enhancing denture stability and support. However, few clinical studies have focused on RPD design in patients with mandibular Kennedy Class II edentulism. The aim of this case reports was to investigate the oral function, oral health-related quality of life, and satisfaction of four patients with unilateral distal-extension mandibular RPDs with the same design which were replaced with ISRPDs. In addition, we investigated how each patient's evaluation varied with the change from RPD to ISRPD. Case presentation Four patients had unilateral distal-extension mandibular edentulism and were missing the first and second molars and the first and second premolars. They received one implant (4.0 mm in diameter, 8.0 mm in length; IAT EXA PLUS Bone level; Nippon Piston Ring Co. Ltd, Saitama, Japan) at the position equivalent to the first molar in the edentulous residual ridge perpendicular to the occlusal plane. Implant position was determined by surgical guide plate. RPDs were fabricated after the residual mucosal membrane had healed. The basic design of the RPD was as follows: a cobalt-chromium alloy cast metal framework denture with a lingual bar as the major connector, a double Akers clasp on the molars and an auxiliary retainer on the premolar as indirect retainers, and a wrought wire clasp and a cast cingulum rest (combination clasp) as direct retainers. Masticatory performance, occlusal force, oral health-related quality of life, and satisfaction were estimated at baseline, and at time points after insertion of the RPD and after insertion of the adapted ISRPD. Each evaluation item showed a tendency for improvement on insertion of the new RPD. Masticatory performance and satisfaction tended to be better after insertion of the ISRPD than after insertion of the RPD. Conclusion Our findings suggest that ISRPDs provided better patient satisfaction and masticatory performance than RPDs in patients with mandibular Kennedy Class II edentulism. |
