The purpose of the present paper is to review available information on the methods of enhancing retention of maxillary obturators. A maxillofacial prosthesis used to close, cover, or maintain the integrity of the oral and nasal compartments resulting from a congenital, acquired, or developmental disease process, i.e. cancer, cleft palate, osteoradionecrosis of the palate. The prosthesis facilit...

Improved technology and interdisciplinary team work allows dental providers to achieve treatment goals of function, esthetics, stability and health. This paper reports the management of a missing single anterior tooth by conventional implant prosthesis along with adjunctive orthodontic treatment.

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...

this paper reports multidisciplinary treatment of a dental trauma case to achieve a favorable prognosis. a healthy 14-year-old girl reported avulsion of teeth 11 and 21 which had occurred three months earlier. the initial treatment consisting of replantation with a semi-rigid splint was performed in hospital. at presentation, the patient was still using the semi-rigid splint. the clinical exami...

AIM The aim of this article is to create awareness among the dental practitioners regarding the various accidents which can happen during a dental procedure and stress upon the preventive measures that can be taken to reduce the same. BACKGROUND This article presents a case of aspiration of dental crowns by the patient and its retrieval by coughing and preventive measures which can be taken t...

Proper implant occlusion is essential for adequate oral function and the prevention of adverse consequences, such as implant overloading. Dental implants are thought to be more prone to occlusal overloading than natural teeth because of the loss of the periodontal ligament, which provides shock absorption and periodontal mechanoreceptors, which provide tactile sensitivity and proprioceptive mot...

PURPOSE This review describes a new interactive imaging program that allows computed tomography (CT) images to be used to virtually place dental implants and construct a precise guide splint and final prosthesis for delivery at the time of implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with edentulous arches were recruited to participate in a trial program to assess the feasibility of usin...
