The purpose of this study was to determine, in Turkey, the patterns and distribution of partial edentulism (PE) according to Kennedy-Applegate classification. This study was carried on patients who applied to the dental university clinics and who were diagnosed as requiring a removable partial denture (RPD), at least for one arch. Total of 319 patients were included in the study (206 females, 1...

Two-implant overdentures have become the accepted treatment for restoring mandibular edentulism. The dimensions of regular implants sometimes limit their use, such as in the case of narrow ridges. Mini-implants with reduced diameters (less than 3.0 mm) enable insertion into narrow ridges. A magnet-retained two-mini-implant overdenture system was developed and is described in this paper. Additio...

Edentulism is one of the most significant problems given increase in elderly population. The aim present investigation to evaluate a case report with angled screwdriver solutions and new kinds low-profile attachments full arch rehabilitation divergent implants. In this clinical we will analyze how abutments channel OT Bridge system (Rhein83, Bologna, Italy) can be predictable solution over time...

PURPOSE Bone resorption following tooth loss often limits the quantity of bone available for implant placement. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of 10-mm or shorter machined-surface implants when used exclusively in the treatment of various forms of edentulism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred sixty-nine screw-type Brånemark System implants (Nobel Biocare...

The systemic response to periodontal disease was analyzed in the cross-sectional Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP). The completed data of 2,738 subjects aged 20 to 59 years were used for logistic regression analysis with an increased plasma fibrinogen level (> or =3.25 g/L according to Clauss) as the dependent variable. Participants were divided into four groups according to the number of per...

This study examined edentulism (total absence of natural dentition) trends among adults’ users of public oral health care in Victoria, Australia and factors associated with these trends. The sample comprised 13,578 dental clients of public oral health care services, collected between July 2008 and June 2009, from which data were complete. The group of edentulous clients represented 6.8% of all ...

A social action was carried out with 61 people, 47 female 14 male. As rehabilitation, both genders used prosthesis total (72,1%) partial (50,8%) were considered inappropriate 27,9%. Edentulism evidenced as a public health pr...

This article discusses the connection of teeth to implants, in order to restore partial edentulism. The main problem arising from this connection is tooth intrusion, which can occur in up to 7.3% of the cases. The justification of this complication is being attempted through the perspective of biomechanics of the involved anatomical structures, that is, the periodontal ligament and the bone, as...
