CAD/CAM technology and improved ceramic materials allow for achievement of improved esthetics at the implant restoration level. Two clinical procedures have the capacity to decrease patient postoperative discomfort and improve esthetics. Flapless surgery reduces surgical trauma and postoperative problems. Placement of the final prosthetic abutment at the time of implant placement stabilizes soft tissue adhesion and position to the implant. Both results require careful presurgical planning with precise implant and abutment placement. This is a clinical report of two cases that are part of a larger ongoing clinical trial of 20 patients.

Studies have focused mainly on the fully edentulous mandible. These have found that mandibular flexure should be taken into consideration when designing a prosthesis and have suggested that dividing the prosthesis at the symphysis region, or into multiple implant fixed dental prostheses, may minimize the effect of mandibular flexure on the implant prosthesis. At this time, no studies have investigated the effect of mandibular flexure on long‐span, unilateral, implant fixed prostheses. The clinical significance of mandibular flexure on the success of dental implant treatment is at this time unclear, and further research is needed. (Source: Journal of Prostho...

Successful management is a subject of interest in dentistry. A critical aspect is to determine the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) and a systematic approach that can lead to a predictable and favorable treatment prognosis. Management of patients with worn dentition is complex and difficult. Accurate clinical and radiographic examinations, a diagnostic wax‐up, and determining OVD are crucial. Using mini‐implants as orthodontic anchorage may facilitate orthodontic movement of teeth to improve their position, which is necessary for favorable prosthetic treatment. A 46‐year‐old man was referred for restoration of his worn and missing teeth. After diagnostic work‐up, provisional removable prostheses were fabricated...

A 6‐day‐old female infant was managed with the presurgical NAM technique. Periodic adjustments of the appliance were continued every week to mold the nasoalveolar complex into the desired shape for the next 5 months. The 13 mm of alveolar cleft width was reduced to 1.5 mm. The depressed nostril on the cleft side was molded into the normal anatomy. The nose and upper lip were surgically repaired at the age of 5 months. The second stage surgery of palatal closure was performed at the age of 18 months. The patient was followed up regularly at 6‐month intervals for the next 5 years.

Other problems include wear, separation or fracture of the resin teeth from the metal/acrylic prosthesis, chipping or fracture of porcelain from the metal/ceramic or zirconia/ceramic prosthesis, and fracture of the framework in some free‐end prostheses. For this type of prosthesis it is necessary to place the implants in a position that enables occlusal or lingual access so as not to impair the esthetics. This clinical report describes the restoration of a patient with complete fixed detachable maxillary and mandibular prostheses made of monolithic zirconia with angled dental implants with buccal access. The prostheses were esthetically pleasing, and ...

Open faculty positions in prosthodontics existed in the majority of dental schools, and most schools offered incentives to recruit faculty. The survey of deans found a very high level of exposure of dental students to full‐time prosthodontists and a very low exposure level to students enrolled in advanced education in prosthodontics. The establishment of mentoring programs in prosthodontics was reported by most deans, and the predoctoral curriculum included treating complex cases. Most deans stated that dual‐specialty training in prosthodontics and periodontics would be beneficial. The 2009 survey reported an increase in the number of departments of prosthodontics in US schools. (Source: Journal of P...

This is achieved by a delicate balance between bone formation and resorption in response to functional demands. An imbalance in the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‐B (RANK) ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) or osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF) is believed to be the underlying mechanism of osteolysis in metastases, multiple myelomas, and cancer therapy‐induced bone loss in patients. Considered mainly as bone‐specific agents to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, bisphosphonates, in combination with certain chemotherapeutic agents have proved to be effective in prevention of tumor formation and metastatic osteolysis in bone tissue.

With the increased use of cement‐retained, implant‐supported restorations for the replacement of missing teeth, clinicians may choose to use a definitive cement to lute the definitive restoration. Loosening of an abutment screw is a challenging complication of cement‐retained, implant‐supported prosthetic restorations. Often, the abutment screw becomes loose from the implant body, whereas the crown remains cemented to the abutment. In such situations, separating the cemented crown from the underlying abutment or locating the abutment‐screw access for removal of the restoration is a difficult task.

This mainly occurred for the polymer crown group, although the fracture load was higher than normal occlusal forces. High tensile stress concentrations were found around and between the occlusal loading points. Fractographic analysis indicated fracture originating from the load point and propagating from the occlusal surface toward the cervical area, which is the opposite direction of that observed in clinical situations.

A Clinical Report http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4913705&cid=s_28248_11_f&fid=28248&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1532-849X.2011.00712.x AbstractExtensive bilateral midfacial defects involving the upper jaw, palate, and sinus present a formidable reconstructive challenge. A combination of total and subtotal maxillectomy is, in general, a rare surgical procedure that affects the cosmetic, functional, and psychological aspects of a patient's life. Prosthetic restoration has become the preferred method for the rehabilitation of such conditions. The use of magnets is an efficient means of providing combined prostheses with retention, quality, and stability. This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a total and subtotal maxillectomy patient with a two‐piece hollow bulb obturator retained with the help of magnets and a retention clasp.

Specific criteria and clinical guidelines will be identified for use in the treatment planning process. Determination of optimal tooth positions and their relationships to residual ridges or extraction sites are one of the critical factors in determining designs for maxillary implant prostheses. Prosthetic designs (fixed or removable) should be determined by clinicians prior to placing implants; removable prostheses should not be considered to be the “fall‐back” treatment option if fixed treatments become unavailable secondary to loss of...

Some of the challenges associated with the anterior mandible are limited space, challenging surrounding anatomy, and tough esthetic requirements. Proper diagnosis and treatment planning may require a multidisciplinary approach to successfully meet the demands of replacing a missing tooth in this sextant. Several treatment options currently exist for mandibular incisor replacement. These options include (1) resin‐bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs), (2) orthodontic treatment, (3) full‐veneer fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), (4) dental implants for single‐tooth replacement, (5) possible extraction of one or more incisors and restoration with implant‐supported FDPs, (6) possible ...

A 5‐year course of treatment is analyzed, starting from merely replacing missing teeth with a removable partial denture. The second stage of prosthetic rehabilitation included replacement of the removable prosthesis with fixed partial dentures. The final and most important aspect of treatment was the 2‐year follow‐up, when the patient presented with no problems or adverse effects. The purpose of this presentation is to offer an insight to prosthodontic treatment possibilities for patients suffering from multisystem LCH and to show the value of a “...

The extrusion of opposing teeth combined with the alveolar extrusion of the edentulous areas reduces the space needed for fabricating a removable or fixed prosthesis when edentulous areas are present in the maxilla. This clinical report describes the treatment provided to a patient who presented with a limited interocclusal space on the posterior right quadrant. Before prosthetic rehabilitation, mandibular right posterior teeth were intruded, and the maxillary right posterior alveolar crest was reduced by alveoloplasty. After gaining adequate space, prosthetic rehabilitation was completed with a maxillary removable partial denture. During the 2‐year follow‐up period,...

Postsurgical nasomaxillary hypoplasia is a common finding in patients with extensive clefts. This complex deformity has a pronounced impact on the social behavior and self image of the subject. Esthetic and functional rehabilitation of this postsurgical defect is scarcely reported in the literature. Support in the form of prostheses or stents to prevent tissue collapse is usually required in these patients following surgery. This clinical case presentation discusses the fabrication of an internal nasal stent for a cleft nose, lip, and palate patient following surgical reconstruction.

Poorly fitting restorations may hasten mechanical failure, due to abutment caries or screw failure. Soldering and welding play an important role in trying to overcome misfit of fixed multiunit prostheses. The term FPD will be used to denote multiunit fixed dental prostheses in this review. This is the first of a series of articles that review the state of the art and science of soldering and welding in relation to the fit of cemented or screw‐retained multiunit prostheses. A comprehensive archive of background information and scientific findings is presented. Texts in dental materials and prosthodontics were reviewed. Scientific data were drawn from the n...

Particularly, the facial impression can be uncomfortable for the patient and can cause compression because of the weight of the material. The new approach presented in this report could simplify the fabrication of facial prostheses using a noncontact three‐dimensional digitizer and binder multinozzle inkjet printer, without computed tomography or making a conventional impression. Treatment time was reduced, and the patient expressed satisfaction after 6 months follow‐up.

This clinical report describes the treatment provided to a patient who presented with a moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A two‐stage surgical protocol was followed for this purpose. At the first surgery, the anterior maxilla was resected, and the oral and nasal mucosal and osseous defect was reconstructed with an osteocutaneous flap from the radial forearm. At the second surgery, all fascias and the connective tissue between the skin and the bone were resected to provide an optimal thickness for denture stability. Two months after the second surgery, prosthetic rehabilitation was completed with a maxillary telescopic overdenture. During the 15‐month ...

Computed Tomography (CT)‐guided surgery has more recently been developed and accepted as an additional treatment modality for maxillary and mandibular implant placement, with or without IOL. Reports as to the accuracy of planned versus actual implant placement in CT‐guided surgeries have indicated that CT‐guided surgery is not 100% accurate; standard deviations have been reported with values between 1 and 2 mm in terms of actual versus planned placement. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical parameters associated with IOL, and CT‐guided surgery in edentulous jaws; and t...

The available evidence will assist the clinician in developing a customized and comprehensive informed consent. Patient selection and patient‐mediated factors will dictate the suitability of not only a fixed or removable prosthesis, but also whether immediate loading would enhance the cost/benefit ratio. The indications, objective and subjective patient considerations, and design strategies are discussed for the immediate load scenario.

The purpose of this clinical report is to describe fracture of an atrophic edentulous mandible opposing maxillary natural dentition in association with endosseous dental implants. The patient received two wide‐diameter implants in the anterior mandible for an implant‐assisted mandibular overdenture, in which the implants penetrated the inferior border of the mandible for bicortical stabilization. Three months following implant placement surgery, the patient experienced pain, swelling, and intraoral purulent drainage around the right implant. Panoramic radiograph revealed a fracture of the mandible through the right implant site and...

Is There a Difference? Part 2, Clinical Evaluation of a Pilot Study http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4135516&cid=s_28248_11_f&fid=28248&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1532-849X.2010.00651.x Conclusion: Spectrophotometry and computerized color formulation technology offer an enhanced understanding of color for its artistic application in facial prosthetic treatment. While some correlation between the objective and subjective assessments of color match exist, it is not a simple relationship. Further study is required to better understand the relationship between technology and clinical perception, specifically in objective and subjective assessments of a “good” color match of silicone to skin.
