Falta de planejamento em prótese parcial removível: uma prática continua por parte dos cirurgiões-dentistas

Abstract

Even with all the technological advances in dentistry, the Removable Partial Denture (RPD) is still a reality for many patients. Sometimes, the only treatment option. Nevertheless, the devaluation of a correct planning of metal structures of PPR by the professional makes us think the reason for this reason, since the demand for this type of treatment is still not small. According to the survey SB Brazil 2010, 13% among teens require partial prosthesis on a jaw (10%) or both jaws (3%), for adults the need for some type of prosthesis occurs in 69% of cases; the majority of these (41%) is related to the partial prosthesis on a jawbone. For seniors between 65 and 74 years, 4 million need to use partial denture (in one of the arcades). One of the most overlooked aspects in the treatment plan of Removable Partial Dentures (PRPs) is the preparation, design and transfer intraoral plans guide. The correct diagnosis, a plan that promotes retention, support and stability to PPR, the making adequate prosthesis and a scheduled maintenance program should be the goal of the dentist rehabilitator. This study aims to, through literature review, warn professionals about the importance of proper planning of Removable Partial Dentures. Therefore, there was literature on virtual databases (Medline, Lilacs, PubMed) and physical (libraries). It was concluded, based on the literature review study, that the negligence of planning Removable Partial Denture remains an ongoing practice in dentistry, may be responsible for maintaining the high needs of denture and who is required to publish and dissemination of new works and the importance of reporting illnesses that lack of planning can bring, the Removable Partial Denture is not planned and prepared as recommended in the dental literature.
