BACKGROUND Immediate implant function has become an accepted treatment modality for fixed restorations in totally edentulous mandibles, whereas experience from immediate function in the edentulous maxilla is limited. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report on the medium- and long-term outcomes of a protocol for immediate function of four implants (All-on-4, Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg,...

A classification for partially edentulous maxillectomy dental arches is proposed. This classification is based on the frequency of occurrence of maxillary defects in a population of 123 patients.

Standard, cylindrical abutments were initially used in the treatment of edentulous and partially edentulous patients. These abutments were not designed to simulate the natural emergence profiles of individual teeth. Custom abutments were often the treatment of choice for partially edentulous patients and were successful in replicating the emergence profiles of missing natural teeth. One of the ...

Purpose To assess the prevalence of peri-implant diseases (ie, mucositis and peri-implantitis) in patients rehabilitated with full-arch, implant-supported restorations. Materials methods A search protocol was developed to answer following focus question: What is edentulous fixed or removable restorations? RCTs, controlled clinical trials, prospective studies at least 12 months follow-up a minim...

Edentulous patients may be restored with complete-arch implant-supported fixed complete dental prostheses (IFCDPs) on angled distal implants or parallel distributed equally across the mandible to increase area of support. A treatment is presented introduce clinical concept providing edentulous an prosthesison tissue-level in standard length interforaminally and ultrashort distally. structured p...
