The aim of the present study was to report a modified protocol for immediate implant-supported full-arch rehabilitation on three interforaminal implants and two implants placed in the posterior mandible, one on each side. This article describes a treatment protocol that can be used to reduce the time required for the fabrication and placement of an implant-supported prosthesis. It is described ...

Although immediate implantation has not been previously recommended in infected sites, it is now becoming a procedure of choice in modern implant dentistry. We report a case of a 65-year-old male patient, who required multiple tooth extractions in the lower jaw and fabrication of a new overdenture in the lower jaw and a complete denture in the upper jaw. Immediate implantation in infected tooth...

The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with mucosal pain in patients with partial removable dental prostheses (PRDPs). In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, 333 patients wearing 500 PRDPs (mean age 71·4 years, men 33·3%) were consecutively recruited from prosthetic clinic of a dental hospital in Japan. Subjects rated pain intensity and frequency of denture-bearing m...

overlay removable partial denture can be used as an interim prosthesis for the patients who have lost their occlusal vertical dimension due to moderate to severe attrition resulting in functional and esthetic problems. This prosthesis is believed to allow neuromuscular adjustments to a newly adjusted VDO and also to observe the function and esthetics. ORPDs provide reversible and relatively ine...

A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown,bridge,denture,facial prosthesis or even can act as an orthodontic anchor.A variable amount of healing time is required for osseointegration before either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant or an abutment is placed w...

Maxillectomy performed in acquired lesions is often very extensive or bilateral, sparing less hard and soft tissue the oral cavity. These defects need both surgical prosthetic rehabilitation. A definitive prosthesis inserted after complete healing, when patient accustomed to interim prosthesis. Definitive obturator warrants better retention stability needs a meticulous planning design for long-...
