ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Resin-bonded extracoronal attachments may be indicated for the abutment teeth of removable partial dentures, especially for anterior teeth when a cingulum rest must be provided. This type of treatment has a series of advantages such as minimal tooth reduction, supragingival margins, favourable stress distribution, and improved aesthetic appearance. OBJECTIVE: To report a clinical case of oral rehabilitation using a combination of resin-bonded extracoronal attachments joined by a Dolder bar with a removable partial denture. CASE REPORT: A 60-year-old male patient with only the canines in the maxillary arch was restored with a combination of resin-bonded extracoronal attachments joined by a Dolder bar and a removable partial denture. CONCLUSION: Dentures with resin-bonded extracoronal attachments can have a number of advantages over traditional clasp-retained removable partial dentures.

Procurou-se verificar a ação in vitro de diferentes anti-sépticos bucais sobre as cepas de Candida albicans isoladas de próteses totais superiores. O teste de sensibilidade revelou que os anti-sépticos: Periogard, Malvona e Cepacol foram ativos para as cepas de levedura isoladas, ou seja, apresentam 100 por cento de atividade, enquanto o Listerine foi ativo somente em 10 (58,8 por cento) das amostras testadas
