Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Polyacetal resin is well known material in medical field for various applications such as for artificial heart valves and artificial hip joints. In dentistry the material among its other applications, is used for removable partial dentures. The article presents rehabilitation of a patient with maxillary defect using polyacetal resin obturator prostheses. The patient was rehabilitated 5 years ago with chrome-cobalt removable partial denture. The patient complained of worn out denture teeth & ill-fitting of existing prostheses. He was also concerned about unaesthetic display of metallic components of prostheses & wanted to replace it with aesthetic alternative. Due to the physical properties, its biocompatibility and the improved esthetics results, polyacetal resin can be a good alternative for the chrome-cobalt removable partial denture. Polyacetal resin is used in present case to meet aesthetic demand of patient. Patient expressed satisfaction with polyacetal resin prostheses at 1-year recall visit.
