If a cement-retained implant prosthesis is placed on an abutment, excess cement should be minimized or removed to prevent periimplant inflammation. Various methods for fabricating an abutment replica have been introduced to maintain tissue health and reduce clean-up time. The purpose of this article is to present an alternative technique for fabricating an abutment replica with computer-aided d...

This study work is related to exploring the role of connected wing walls in changing behaviour a metakaolin geopolymer wall type abutment when acted upon by all forces that are generally applied on short-span bridge. The modelling with done using STAAD Pro V8i SS6 software and loading for analysis as per IRC: 6-2016. 4-noded plate elements members, here meshed quadrilateral meshing feature. wal...

Tooth hypersensitivity is a common clinical complaint after dental treatment. Objective: This study presents case report of the use diode laser for treating tooth in patient with cantilever fixed partial denture abutment. Case Report: A 23-year-old female presented to Faculty Dentistry, Umm Al-Qura University Makkah, chief pain deeply carious maxillary right first premolar. The was extracted, a...

Background and Aim: Maintaining the primary torque of the abutment screw is a common problem related to implant-supported restorations; a failure in this respect often leads to screw loosening. The abutment screw plays a critical role in the long-term stability of restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of two abutment connection types with and without cyclic loading on removal torq...

Objective: To compare differences in caries and periodontal scores between removable partial denture wearers and non wearers; abutment with non-abutment teeth in the wearers and wearers with “satisfactory” to those with “unsatisfactory” dentures. Methods: Ninety-six partially dentate patients were included in this study. Teeth were examined for caries and periodontal diseases. Removable partial...

This paper presents the fully base-isolated highway bridge benchmark problem. The highway bridge benchmark problem consists of two phases: (1) Phase I—the bridge deck being base isolated only at the abutments and the center bent being integral with the pier (without isolation), and (2) Phase II—the bridge deck being fully base isolated at both the bent/pier and abutment locations. In both phase...
