AIM Residual ridges change in shape and reduce in size due to alveolar bone resorption. Therefore, the purpose was to investigate changes in denture base thickness (DBT) and interocclusal rest space (IRS) with regard to the denture relining procedure. METHODS The IRS and DBT were measured (before and after denture relining) in the case of 74 patients and their removable dental prostheses by u...

Aim: The aim of this study was to compile the usage of Co-Cr alloys in fixed prosthodontics (FP) among dental laboratories in Sweden. Methods: From March to October 2015, questionnaires were sent to 542 registered dental laboratories in Sweden. The questionnaires were divided in two parts, one for fixed dental-supported prosthodontics (FDP) and one for fixed implant-supported prosthodontics (FI...

PURPOSE The purpose of this report was to retrospectively evaluate implant and immediate full-arch prosthesis survival rates over a 24-month period; patients were consecutively treated with immediate occlusal loading. Dental arch, gender, and implant orientation (vertical vs. tilted) were also noted. MATERIALS AND METHODS All Brånemark System implants (Nobel Active) and interim, all-acrylic r...

PURPOSE This article presents a rationale for retrievability of fixed, implant-supported prostheses based on the incidence and variety of biologic and technical complications. The etiologies of these complications are also discussed, emphasizing the unpredictability of implant-based prostheses in the oral environment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic searches of the MEDLINE (Ovid) database we...

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the association of oral health-related quality life with prosthetic rehabilitation status and dental prosthesis condition in residents Brazilian long-term care facilities. Methods: The older adults (n = 194; mean [standard deviation] age 78.93 [9.10]) was assessed by Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index Impact Profile questionnaires. Pro...

In this study, patients wearing dental prostheses after implantation were constantly observed for their masticatory function to measure the amount of marginal bone loss obtained 1 and2 years mounting clinically, investigate relationship between occurring a year and gender, age, scaling, use results as reference performing determining prognosis.

UNLABELLED This case report describes restoration of the edentulous maxilla and mandible with implant supported fixed prostheses using monolithic zirconia, where the incisal edges and occluding surfaces were made of monolithic zirconia. Edentulism is a debilitating condition that can be treated with either a removable or fixed dental prosthesis. The most common type of implant-supported fixed p...
