A novel captive screw retained sectional denture offers an aesthetic, cost-effective solution for replacing one or two missing teeth. This innovative dental prosthetic ensures excellent retention with minimal tooth preparation and high patient acceptance.

Area of Science:

  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Traditional dentures often rely on flexible clasps for retention.
  • Sectional dentures, utilizing alternative retention methods, have been described but are less common.

Observation:

  • A captive screw retained sectional denture design was evaluated.
  • This design consists of separate labial and lingual sections assembled with a captive screw.

Findings:

  • The sectional denture provides aesthetic appearance, functional occlusion, and excellent retention.
  • It requires minimal abutment tooth preparation and is a low-cost option.
  • Retention is achieved by engaging tooth undercuts upon screw tightening.
  • Patient acceptability is high, with no observed increase in dental caries or gingival irritation.

Implications:

  • This denture offers an effective alternative for replacing one or two missing teeth.
  • The design presents a minimally invasive and cost-effective prosthetic solution.
  • Further research may explore long-term outcomes and broader patient applicability.
