Clinical evaluation of swinglock removable partial dentures

J K Schulte, D E Smith

    The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Swinglock removable partial dentures are a viable option for patients with poor periodontal support. These dentures did not worsen periodontal breakdown and were well-accepted by patients, though regular dental recall is crucial.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Prosthodontics
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Removable partial dentures are common prosthetic devices.
    • Swinglock removable partial dentures offer a unique design for specific patient needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate oral changes in patients wearing swinglock removable partial dentures.
    • To assess the long-term efficacy and patient satisfaction with swinglock dentures.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of 53 patients recalled after wearing swinglock removable partial dentures.
    • Analysis of oral health status, including periodontal support, tooth mobility, and prosthetic condition.
    • Patient satisfaction questionnaire to gauge acceptance of the swinglock design.

    Main Results:

    • Swinglock dentures are suitable for patients with unfavorable periodontal support or missing abutments.
    • No continued periodontal breakdown observed in patients wearing these dentures for 13-75 months.
    • Reduced tooth mobility was noted with good oral hygiene and proper occlusion.
    • High patient acceptance reported.
    • Significant prevalence of decayed teeth (22.4%) and need for relines (28.3%) highlights recall importance.

    Conclusions:

    • Swinglock removable partial dentures are a beneficial treatment alternative.
    • Satisfactory function is achievable with proper construction, patient hygiene, and regular recall visits.
    • The study underscores the importance of ongoing patient management and maintenance for removable prosthetics.
