Rehabilitation of Complex Cases Using Obturator Prostheses and Zygomatic Implants: A Report of 2 Cases
نویسنده
چکیده
Defects in the maxilla associated with oroantral and oronasal communications generally affect patient’s function and esthetics leading to emotional imbalance. Reconstructive surgery is an option, but sometimes presents unsatisfactory results. Rehabilitation using obturator prostheses in edentulous patients often contributes to inadequate stability. The literature demonstres that intra-oral endosseous implants help in retaining the obturator prosthesis with satisfactory results. The present article is a report of 2 clinical cases in which patients were rehabilitated with obturator prostheses over conventional and zygomatic implants, with a follow-up of 2 years.

Full mouth rehabilitation with fixed prostheses in the case of unaligned and malpositioned implants: clinical report
Full mouth rehabilitation with fixed implant supported prostheses is one of the challenging treatments, because important factors in aesthetic and function should be considered. Implants' alignments and locations should be planned before the insertion unless the improper inclination and location of implants would lead to difficulties in patient's comfort, oral hygiene problem and inability to r...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the stress distribution in the bone around zygomatic and dental implants for 3 different implant-retained obturator prostheses designs in a Aramany class IV maxillary defect using 3-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). MATERIAL AND METHODS A 3-dimensional finite element model of an Aramany class IV defect was created. Three diffe...

BACKGROUND Oronasal/antral communication, loss of teeth and/or tooth-supporting bone, and facial contour deformity may occur as a consequence of maxillectomy for cancer. As a result, speaking, chewing, swallowing, and appearance are variably affected. The restoration is focused on rebuilding the oronasal wall, using either flaps (local or free) for primary closure, either prosthetic obturator. ...
متن کاملRehabilitation of atrophic maxilla: A review of 101 zygomatic implants
Introduction: Zygomatic implants are a good rehabilitation alternative for upper maxilla with severe bone reabsorption. These implants reduce the need for onlay-type bone grafting in the posterior sectors and for maxillary sinus lift procedures limiting the use of bone grafts to the anterior zone of the upper jaw in those cases where grafting is considered necessary. Objective: To evaluate the ...
