Outcomes of mandibular Kennedy Class I and II prosthetic rehabilitation - an observational study
(The South African Dental Association, 2019)
Loss of teeth may have a negative impact on appearance, nutrition and function. Removable prostheses for mandibular distal extension areas have been associated with more negative outcomes than with tooth bounded saddles.
Conformity of removable partial denture designs to agreed principles based on materials used - A preliminary study
(South African Dental Association, 2020)
Removable partial denture (RPD) designs may differ based on types of materials used. The aim of the study was to investigate how a sample of non-metal clasp (NMC), acrylic and metal RPD designs complied with biomechanical ...
Aesthetic reconstruction with fiber-reinforced polymerceramic crowns: a case study
(South African Dental Association, 2005)
Adhesive dentistry is rapidly evolving. Two main incentives drive this evolution - advances made in adhesive techniques combined with a demand for aesthetic restorations by patients .Patients want their teeth restored not ...
A systematic review on the efficacy of vaporized hydrogen peroxide as a non-contact decontamination system for pathogens associated with the dental environment, 18(9), 4748. 10.3390/ijerph18094748
(MPDI, 2021)
Aerosol generation and a wide range of pathogens originating from the oral cavity of the
patient contaminate various surfaces of the dental clinic. The aim was to determine the efficacy
of vaporized hydrogen peroxide ...
Continuous workplace-based assessment as an indication of clinical competence in paediatric dentistry
(International Network for Higher Education in Africa, 2021)
An authentic workplace setting provides the ideal opportunity for assessment of students’ clinical competence at the ‘does’ level of performance.
Final-year dental students in the Department of Paediatric Dentistry at ...

A comparison of the bond strengths of microwave- and water bath-cured denture material.
(Elsevier, 1993-11)
A comparison was made of the shear bond strengths between microwave-polymerized and conventional water bath-cured polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bonded to denture teeth. Four groups of 15 specimens were prepared and shear ...
Comparison of the clinical abrasion resistance of six commercially available denture teeth.
(Elsevier, 1997-01)
Purpose: Clinical abrasion of denture teeth has certain implications when dentures are worn in excess of the average useful lifetime. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical denture tooth wear over a period of ...
