despite the recent developments in peri-implant surgical regenerative procedures, re-establishing the hard and soft tissue contour is still a challenge in cases with severe ridge deficiency. it becomes more difficult when incorrectly placed implants cause screw connections to come out onto the labial surfaces of the teeth. a two-part maxillary implant supported fixed restoration was constructed...

background: fracture load of implant-supported restorations is an important factor in clinical success. this study evaluated the effect of two techniques for screw access hole preparation on the fracture load of cement-screw retained implant-supported zirconia-based crowns. methods: thirty similar cement-screw retained implant-supported zirconia-based maxillary central incisor crowns were evalu...

Prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous cleft lip and palate patient with a combined hard soft defect is great challenge, due to the lack retention obturator prosthesis as result its weight inability obtain border seal. Dental implants improve retention, stability, occlusal function prostheses when used in carefully selected cases. This clinical report presents unilateral who has defects atr...

BACKGROUND Bone and joint infection involving Granulicatella adiacens is rare, and mainly involved in cases of bacteremia and infectious endocarditis. Here we report three cases of prosthetic joint infection involving G. adiacens that were successfully treated with surgery and prolonged antimicrobial treatment. We also review the two cases of prosthetic joint infection involving G. adiacens tha...

the maxillofacial region is one of the most injury-prone areas during road traffic accidents, personal violence, falls and sports. maxillofacial trauma can lead to breakage or avulsion of upper anterior teeth, which may cause significant aesthetic and functional problems. there are many treatment options available for rehabilitation including removable partial dentures, fixed partial dentures, ...

Prosthodontic rehabilitation can be accomplished with fixed, overdenture, complete, or implant-retained prostheses. Dental treatment overcomes the patient's functional, psychological, esthetic and phonation problems. Remaining healthy teeth may allow the dentist to fabricate a removable partial overdenture, fixed partial prosthesis or implant - supported prosthesis. The retention of a number of...

A 47-year-old man underwent surgical resection and reconstruction with a fibula osteocutaneous flap. After the surgery, a surgical obturator was placed and adjusted. After flap healing, a conventional obturator was fabricated with polymethyl methacrylate resin and retained by the anatomical undercuts around the reconstructed fibula bone flap and the posterior part of the defect. As the defect s...

incontinentia pigmenti is a rare inherited disorder involving abnormalities of the skin, hair, eyes, musculoskeletal system, central nervous system, and the teeth. dental abnormalities are the most common manifestations of this disorder. the purpose of this case report was to present the clinical and radiological findings of a seven-year-old girl as well as the results of her five-year follow u...

objective: to determine the pattern of stability changes as a reflection of early healing around single-stage roughened-surface implants in humans utilizing resonance frequency analysis (rfa). materials and methods: hundred twenty-five patients who demanded dental implants were treated with two different implant (nobel biocare replacetm and strummantm iti) systems. bone type was classified into...
