The use of dental implants to improve prosthesis retention has been well documented. The rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible has been accomplished with a variety of prostheses, using a variety of techniques. In order to improve patient care, dentists have strived to develop techniques that reduce treatment time and postoperative discomfort. This issue of Report on Prosthodontics discusses...

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...

This descriptive study was carried out at dental out-patient department of Liaquat medical University Hospital Hyderabad from January 2013 to December 2013. Thirty-five patients wearing auto polymerized (self-cured) fixed partial dentures provided by unqualified and qualified dental practitioners were assessed. Condition of oral health was evaluated on the basis of proper history and clinical e...

Prosthodontic treatment using dental implants is one of the solutions for partially and completely edentulous patients. The peri-implant area is colonized by a large variety of oral microbial complexes. Various prosthesis may provide means of mechanical attachment to the microflora; this in turn allows their aggregation and colonization. There exists a relationship between the peri-implant micr...

Prosthodontic treatment sometimes requires a long-term interim fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) until the definitive restoration can be cemented. However, some interim materials are weak and do not have an adequate marginal seal. The CAD/CAM systems have developed considerably, offering accuracy and more options than previously. It can be envisioned that CAD/CAM technology developments will contin...

linical prosthodontics has focused on approaches to improving retention and stability of dentures. In addition to proper fabrication, those approaches have included the use of denture adhesives, retention of a limited number of teeth for overdentures and placement of implants, with the fixtures serving to anchor the prosthesis. In addition, many denture wearers utilize denture adhesives as an o...

BACKGROUND Granulicatella and Abiotrophia spp. are difficult to detect due to their complex nutritional requirements. Infections with these organisms are associated with high treatment failure rates. We report the first implant-associated infection caused by Granulicatella para-adiacens, which was cured with anti-microbial treatment consisting of anti-biofilm-active rifampin and debridement, ex...

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...

The port of a dental prosthesis removable evil perhaps conceived mechanical source of irritation, which in the absence of a rigorous hygiene and of a regular follow-up in the doctor dentist can support the appearance of stomatitis under prosthetic. A study was carried out on the level of the dental service of medicine of the teaching hospital Sidi-Beautiful-Abbots to evaluate the prevalence of ...

Streaking artifacts on computed tomography (CT) images are caused by high density materials such as hip prosthesis, surgical clips and dental fillings. The artifacts can lead to compromised clinical outcome due to the inability to differentiate tumor volume and the uncertainties in dose calculation. The goals of our study are to evaluate how GE’s smart metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm i...
