An interdisciplinary approach can be used to treat the uncommon hereditary defect known as amelogenesis imperfecta, which ischaracterised by insufficient crown length, hypersensitivity, dental caries, and decreased vertical dimension. The present case reportdescribes a successfully managed of imperfecta with full mouth rehabilitation using implant supported prosthesis. This helped restore funct...

Dental implants play an important role in postoperative rehabilitation after surgical treatment of oral cancer through the provision of prosthetic tooth replacement. Two major implant prosthesis designs are available: fixed implant-supported prostheses and implant-supported overdentures. We herein report a case of a 16-year-old female patient who underwent alveolar ridge resection for treatment...

incontinentia pigmenti is a rare inherited disorder involving abnormalities of the skin, hair, eyes, musculoskeletal system, central nervous system, and the teeth. dental abnormalities are the most common manifestations of this disorder. the purpose of this case report was to present the clinical and radiological findings of a seven-year-old girl as well as the results of her five-year follow u...

UNLABELLED The present report describes the application of a miniplate in the hard palate of a 36-year-old patient with a large anterior maxillary defect. The combination of orthodontic elastics with a titanium miniplate improved the stability of the prefabricated prosthesis. This structure retained the ointment gauze covering the wounds and maintained the facial contour. In addition, contractu...

Surgical voice restoration with a tracheo-oesophageal fistula using an alloplastic voice prosthesis is the current standard in Germany for patients with laryngectomy. With the increasing widespread use of this type of rehabilitation new duties emerge, not only for ones colleagues in the hospital but also for those in general practice. Care of these patients close to their home must be the aim o...

AIM To develop computer software to allow general dental practitioners and others to identify unidentified implants in patients' mouths using a range of criteria. METHODS Internet searches for implant manufacturing companies worldwide in all languages using terms: dental implants, dental implant manufacturers and dental implant companies. Once identified, all relevant information including im...

Oral rehabilitation for a patient with severe loss of alveolar bone and soft tissue resulting from severe periodontitis presents a challenge to clinicians. The use of dental implants for replacement of teeth has become a routine procedure also in the periodontally compromised patient .The presence of periodontal inflammation and periapical infection often delay the placement of bone grafts as w...

This paper presents three cases of peri-implant mucosal defects that were successfully treated with a newly proposed "pouch roll" implant soft tissue augmentation technique. This procedure uses a de-epithelialized connective tissue layer during the first or second stage of implant surgery over the underlying dental implant without the need for sutures. At 2 weeks, healing was remarkable, with e...

We retrospectively evaluated the results of 61 patients (67 hips) who underwent total hip arthroplasty using the thrust plate prosthesis (TPP) for osteoarthritis of the hip joint. All patients were followed-up at least two years (mean: 37.2 months). Mean preoperative Harris hip score improved from 45.8 (SD: 13.5) to 94.9 (SD: 5.4) points postoperatively. Revision was performed in five cases. Me...

We report a case of a 65-year-old man with a painful nonunion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ). It is one of the main severe complications of this surgery. Its prevalence is described between 5% and 10% across different operative techniques. The implantation of hemicup-prosthesis has been successfully used for the hallux rigidus treatment with very promising results. In our case re...
