Abstract: Statement of the problem: Analyzing occlusal force help understanding the efficiency of prosthesis. Purpose:Restoring unilateral; missing teeth was always a challenge to Prosthodontists. Precision attachment partial dentures provide solution for these problematic situations and provide patients with aesthetic and functional replacement of partial missing teeth and oral structures. This study was designed to analyze the post rehabilitation occlusal function of subjects treated with Precision Attachments Unilateral Removable Partial Denture PURPD, utilizing bite force sensor (the T scan system). Materials and Methods: Ten patients who have unilateral missing teeth (Kennedy class II) who received PURPD prostheses to reconstruct occlusal function were analyzed. The T scan III system was used to measure maximum occlusal force between PURPD side and the dentate side. Results: Subjects with precision attachment unilateral partial dentures PURPD demonstrated decreased significant occlusal force. Conclusion: Precision Attachment Unilateral Removable Partial Denture PURPD prosthesis induced less occlusal force compared to dentate side. | ||||
