Treatment planning of the edentulous mandible.

The Role of Lingual Bone Grafting in the Treatment of Displaced Edentulous Mandibular Fracture with Severe Atrophy

Introduction: Treatment of edentulous atrophic mandible with severe atrophy is a challenge based on local conditions and systemic diseases confronted by the age group affected. If bone grafting is indicated, it is often used in lateral or inferior aspects of the mandible.  Case Report: A 70-year-old male with a unilateral fracture of the atrophied left mandibular body was managed by lingual bon...

Radif: Title: Removable partial dentures on osseointegrated implants:principles of treatment planing and prosthetic rehabibliotation in edentulous mandible

Implant-prosthodontic classification of the edentulous jaw for treatment planning with fixed rehabilitations.

PURPOSE This study aimed to develop a classification of edentulous jaws for use as a diagnostic tool during implant-prosthodontic treatment planning. MATERIALS AND METHODS The morphology of 200 fully edentulous alveolar ridges (100 maxillae, 100 mandibles) was assessed with cone beam computed tomography. Generic implants (length: 8 mm; diameter: 4.1 mm) were used. To develop the classificatio...

Hybrid Prosthetic Treatment of the Edentulous Mandible with Two or Four Implants - A Literature Review

Treatment of an edentulous mandible is an important standard area of indication for implants. The aim of the present study was to discuss various aspects of this very important topic using a literature research and possibly derive a recommendation for hybrid prosthetic treatment of the edentulous mandible. Though evaluation of the literature produced a large number of publications with case his...

Use of models in surgical predictability of oral rehabilitations.

PURPOSE To evaluate the rehabilitation of edentulous mandibles with osseous integrated implants in immediate loading, using models in reverse planning. METHODS A prospective study was performed on 14 patients with a total of 56 implants placed. It was proposed a technique for the rehabilitation of edentulous mandible with osseous integrated implants of immediate loading, using anatomical repl...
