The great emphasis on youth, beauty, and virility in our contemporary society makes it increasingly difficult to age in place. These are frustrating years, not least for elderly individuals. They acknowledge that many of their ideas, ambitions, goals, and hopes will never come true and that they have passed their prime in terms of productivity. It is regrettable that the majority of essential dental and medical services are typically required for elderly patients at a time when they are least able to endure and pay for them. Due to the psychological aspects that are usually involved, the dental issues that older patients with prosthodontic clinics present with vary. The psychological aspect of a dental issue in an elderly patient should be understood by the practitioner because it constantly influences the treatment plan and decision-making process. This essay aims to cover these psychological elements and critically examine how they affect the treatment strategy for dentistry.

In the field of removable partial prosthodontics, more careful planning and consideration are necessary for a satisfactory result than in any other area of dentistry. The process of choosing the best prosthesis can occasionally be quite complicated due to the large range of combinations of missing and standing teeth, the various prosthodontic treatment options accessible, and the diversity of needs unique to each patient. Other types of detachable partial dentures may need to be taken into consideration in certain scenarios, but in most cases, the traditional extra coronal clasp held removable partial dentures may be advised. Regardless of the intended function, the fundamentals of design and construction hold true.

Nanomaterials have played an important role in basic scientific innovation as well as clinical technical development in prosthodontics.It demonstrates that many properties of materials used in prosthodontics, such as modulus of elasticity, surface hardness, polymerization shrinkage, and filler loading, can be significantly improved after their scales were reduced from micron-size to nanosize by nanotechnology, and that the performances of composites can also be enhanced by adding appropriate nanomaterials. Nanoscience is a novel strategy that will affect medicine, dentistry, research, and healthcare. It will provide dentists with more equipment, medications, and precision-made materials, which will improve patient compliance. Material science advancements in prosthodontics are opening up new paths for extensive and abundant research while keeping the safety, efficacy, and usability of these new technologies in mind.
