Soft tissue volume and quality are considered important factors for functional esthetic long-term outcomes around natural teeth dental implants. However, achieving them is challenging oral surgeons. Healing of an extraction site combined with normal physiological ridge resorption loss interdental papillae scaffold. Therefore, the rehabilitation these ridges implants or pontic fixed prosthesis u...

UNLABELLED Numerous bonded bridge designs have been advocated over the years for the temporary or permanent replacement of missing teeth. Both metal and all-porcelain designs of bonded bridges have been advocated, with varying degrees of success. However, all of these designs involve some degree of tooth preparation, making them irreversible in nature. The Carolina bridge, a novel all-porcelain...

A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed prosthesis is an innovative alternative to a traditional metal restoration, as it is a conservative treatment method. This case report demonstrates a detailed procedure for restoring a missing anterior tooth with an FRC. A 44-year-old woman visited our department with an avulsed tooth that had fallen out on the previous day and was completely dry. This t...

The results from the investigation and analysis of the chromosome numbers and ploidy levels of 141 species and not nominal subspecies of Brassicaceae, their distribution and phytogeographical relations are discussed. Nearly 65 % of the taxa are diploids, most of them perennials, Mediterranean, Anatolian and Pontic floristic elements. Another 35 % are polyploids, c. 2/3 of them with tetraploid c...

Aesthetic anterior tooth restoration is one of the greatest challenges for dentists in clinical practice. Patients expect contemporary dentistry to provide restorations that reproduce natural beauty while ensuring stability and functionality. The Fixed dental prosthesis fabrication requires equal consideration to be given to the retainer, pontic and connector design. The excessive flexing of th...

The hemi-inattention syndrome was studied in 15 right-handed adults, 12 men and 3 women. One patient had a pontic-mesencephalic lesion, 3 had right hemisphere damage, 7 had left-hemisphere lesion and 4 had bilateral lesions. All lesions were confirmed by CT-scan. Different criteria of hemi-inattention were used. All patients presented extinction, inattention and in 13 visuomotor akinesia; 5 of ...

The current scenario in dentistry proposes several treatment modalities for the esthetic and functional replacement of a congenitally or traumatically missing anterior tooth in young and adult patients which includes implant supported single crown, conventional FPD, Resin Bonded FPD (RBFPD) or RPD. However when certain clinical conditions or unwillingness of the patient preclude the replacement...
