Title: Treatment planning for fixed and removable partial dentures: a periodontal view. Author: Clarke NG. Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1976 Jul; 36(1):44-50. PubMed ID: 787500. Abstract: 1. Chronic occlusal trauma of partial denture abutments may be observed in radiographs before other clinical symptoms are noticed. 2. Evaluation methods can determine when teeth are unsuitable to serve as abutments, but these methods may not be reliable to predict the capacity for some essentially normal teeth to accept additional stresses. 3. Whenever a potential abutment is tilted so that axial loading is questionable, no restoration should be made.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
