Adjusting RPD Clasps
Description:
As removable partial dentures (RPDs) age, loss of retention is a common complaint. When a patient is not ready to replace their RPD, cast metal and wrought wire clasps can be adjusted to re-engage the undercut. In addition to pliers, boomerang-shaped clasp adjusters have joined the armamentarium for re-engaging RPD clasps. In this tip video, Dr. Wendy AuClair gives a quick demonstration on how to utilize this tool.

A Multi-faceted Treatment Approach for Anterior Reconstructions Using Current Ceramics, Implants and Adhesive Systems
Of all developments in dental technology, fulfilling the esthetic and functional demands of a patient is still a challenge for both dentists and dental technicians. This becomes more difficult for patients with a previous treatment history that is not ideal. This case presentation demonstrates reconstruction of an anterior zirconia resin-bonded fixed dental prosthesis (RBFDP) for the mandible with a combined treatment approach utilizing veneers for harmonized space distribution on the abutment teeth and an implant-supported zirconia fixed dental prosthesis in the anterior segment of the maxilla. Adhesive cementation if the restorations is also presented in a step-by-step approach based on the current state of the art.
