Fabricating a cast for denture tooth repairEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It has been reported that approximately one third of repairs of removable prostheses are related to the debonding or fracture of denture teeth. Most detachments occur in the anterior areas and may result from localized stress concentration. When repairing a debonded or fractured tooth, the occlusal relationship must be carefully evaluated to prevent heavy occlusal/excursive contacts on the repaired tooth. If a debonded tooth is intact and can be placed back in the denture, an index can be made to position the tooth for repair. Other techniques, such as arranging a tooth and securing it with a wax or stone index for repair,...

Further experience with modification of an intraluminal button for hands-free tracheoesophageal speech afterEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Tracheoesophageal (TE) speech using a voice prosthesis and hands-free speaking valve with an intraluminal attachment is the gold standard for voice restoration after total laryngectomy. Modification of a standard self-retaining silicone cannula or laryngectomy button often aids in the attachment of a speaking valve within the tracheal lumen for hands-free TE speech production. An increased number of laryngectomized individuals are able to achieve hands-free TE speech when the standard length, flange, and diameter of a silicone button is customized to accommodate individual tracheostomal contours. A technique is presented f...

A removable partial denture using an esthetically designed round-rest distal clasp on maxillary anterior abutment teeth: A clinical reportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A round-rest, distal depression clasp is suggested as an esthetic alternative to a conventional clasp for maxillary anterior teeth serving as abutments for a removable partial denture. A lingual round rest provides support for the prosthesis, and a mesiolingual reciprocating plate is present. A split minor connector engages a distal depression for retention. The facial surface of the abutment displays no metal and provides an esthetic result. (J Prosthet Dent 2009;102:286-289) (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

The interdisciplinary management of a Class II division 1 malocclusion with an associated mandibular defect following surgical excision of fibromatosis: A clinical reportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Surgical excision of malignant or nonmalignant tumors of the maxillofacial region can result in significant anatomical loss/compromise. Correction of the residual defect can be complicated by the presence of an underlying malocclusion and can be a significant clinical challenge if large numbers of teeth have been lost in surgery. This clinical report discusses the interdisciplinary treatment to rehabilitate a patient with a history of surgical removal of fibromatosis. Treatment involved the use of osseointegrated implants to facilitate orthodontic correction of an underlying malocclusion. The implants were subsequently use...

Fabrication of the mandibular implant-supported fixed restoration using CAD/CAM technology: A clinical reportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The mandibular implant-supported fixed restoration is an appropriate treatment choice for patients with inadequate bone volume in the posterior mandible. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has broadened the scope and application for this treatment option. A milled titanium bar retaining individual all-ceramic zirconium oxide crowns, with composite resin replicating gingival tissues, is recommended as an acceptable variation for this type of prosthesis. An alternative method for fabricating a mandibular implant-supported fixed restoration using CAD/CAM technology is described. (J Prosthe...

Use of coffee straw for overdenture bar fabricationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Bar attachments are most commonly used for enhancing the retention and support of a dental or maxillofacial prosthesis. A bar attachment assembly connects retained roots, teeth, or osseointegrated implants. Several bar attachment systems have been described in the dental literature. Among them, the Dolder bar (Dolder Bar System; Attachments Intl, Inc, Burlingame, Calif) and the Hader bar (Hader-EDS Bar System; Attachments Intl, Inc) are most often used for overdentures and implant-retained restorations. A disadvantage of these bar systems is that they are expensive. An economical replacement for the bar systems is describe...

Making multiple predictable single-unit provisional restorations using an indirect techniqueEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article describes a method to fabricate single provisional restorations for multiple preparations using an indirect technique. Provisional restorations need to mimic the definitive restoration as closely as clinically possible. When multiple adjacent provisional restorations are fabricated, the ability to make each separately, with its own path of insertion and contour, aids in providing a predictable final result for the patient. Individual provisional restorations will also allow the patient to maintain better hygiene. (J Prosthet Dent 2009;102:260-263) (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)
