[Prosthetic rehabilitation with a force-distribution prosthesis. Clinical and statistical evaluation of the results obtained in 79 oral rehabilitations].
The results obtained with 79 odontoprosthetic rehabilitations by means of removable force distribution prosthesis are reported. Using half-round section wires, this prosthesis distributed masticatory forces axially on the abutment teeth and also distributes them evenly over the edentulous crest, thus achieving a mixed dental and mucous support. Clinical and statistical assessment takes in 79 patients of both sexes aged between 22 and 69 treated over the fifteen year period since 1964. All types of edentulism according to the Kennedy classification were treated. The clinical results were considered, particularly the periodontal situation and the mechanical results, above all friction between retention and function elements of the connecting wires. Clinically, 82,2% of results were positive and 74.6% of the results were mechanically positive also.
