Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect ball and equator attachments strain (invitro study) of mandibular over denture retained by single midline implant for completely edentulous patient. Subjects methods: Ten complete lower dentures have attachment another ten were constructed on acrylic models covered rubber material simulate oral mucosa implant, evaluated around in posterior ar...

AIM This pilot study evaluated patients' experience of oral surgical and prosthetic procedures as well as their opinions regarding function, aesthetics, comfort, and satisfaction with treatment outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-nine subjects treated with oral implants completed questionnaires comprising 44 questions. Three questionnaires were used related to implant-supported single-tooth...

OBJECTIVE Preserving soft and hard tissues after extraction and implant placement is crucial for anterior esthetics. This technique will show how the information gathered from a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of the maxillary left central incisor and an intra-oral digital impression can be merged to fabricate a CAD/CAM crown-root matrix to be used as an immediate provisional restorat...

OBJECTIVE In June 2008, a survey of freshly graduated dental students of King Abdulaziz University Jeddah was conducted to evaluate the extent of their exposure to oral implantology and their knowledge of some basic principles of dental implant treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multiple-choice questionnaires were given to the fresh graduate dental students of King Abdulaziz University Jeddah t...

PURPOSE To present a literature review on implant overdentures after a brief survey of bone loss after extraction of all teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Papers on alveolar bone loss and implant overdentures have been studied for a narrative review. RESULTS Bone loss of the alveolar process after tooth extraction occurs with great individual variation, impossible to predict at the time of extra...

The long-term success of dental implants relies not only on stable osseointegration but also on the integration of implant surfaces with surrounding soft tissues. In our previous work, titanium plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) technique was applied to modify the carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFRPEEK) surface, constructing a unique multilevel TiO2 nanostructure thus enhan...

Background: Retention and stabilization of implant-supported overdenture is associated with more patient satisfaction, chewing capability, oral health-related quality life. There are a variety implant retention systems which can be utilized to retain an overdenture. Telescopic attachments provide excellent resulting from friction. Objective: This study evaluates the force fatigue resistance rea...

Speech perception test results were obtained from a group of 40 pediatric cochlear implant users. Half of the children participated in oral-only habilitation programs, which included both traditional oral and auditory-verbal approaches, and half participated in programs that used a combination of oral and manual communication referred to as total communication (TC). Analysis of the scores showe...

Great possibilities for oral rehabilitation emerged as a result of scientific consolidation, as well as a large number of dental implant applications. Along with implants appeared diseases such as mucositis and peri-implantitis, requiring management through several strategies applied at different stages. Biofilm accumulation is associated with clinical signs manifest by both tooth and implant i...
