Restoring midfacial defects following the resection of head and neck tumors is difficult in terms achieving oral facial reconstruction rehabilitation. As surgical techniques for free tissue transfer develop, maxillary palatal defect becomes easier more practical, dental implant placement can be achieved using bone flaps. Scapular flaps have several advantages defects, including anatomical simil...

abstract fixed dental prosthesis success requires appropriate impression taking of the prepared finish line. this is critical in either tooth supported fixed prosthesis (crown and bridge) or implant supported fixed prosthesis (solid abutment). if the prepared finish line is adjacent to the gingival sulcus, gingival retraction techniques should be used to decrease the marginal discrepancy among ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze a preliminary method of immediately loading dental implants and a definitive prosthesis based on the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing systems, after 2 years of clinical follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised one patient in good general health with edentulous maxilla. Cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) was perform...

Despite ≤significant advances in dental therapeutics, there are patients for whom no reasonable treatment is available that will reliably restore or maintain their existing dentition. The causes for future edentulism include untreatable periodontal disease, advanced caries, failing root canal therapy, inadequate numbers of teeth to support a fixed prosthesis, or a history of failed previous reh...

Polymeric fixed partial prosthesis represents an important part of the prosthetic treatment. Their presence in the oral cavity could lead to fracture them and to alter the final prosthetic treatment. Time Domain Optical Coherence Tomography can be used as a noninvasive evaluation method and 3D reconstructions which could generate a real forecast on those prosthesis in the oral cavity environmen...

A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) 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 to act as an orthodontic anchor.Well planned, comprehensive treatment plans lead to successful implant treatment and patient satisfaction, which are the eventual long-term...

Introduction: To have good oral health of patients wearing denture they must maintain high standards both hygiene and hygiene. The aim this study was to access the level knowledge on prosthesis cleanliness among elderly individuals removable dental prostheses. Methods: sample consists 382 visiting Dental Outpatient Department Dhulikhel Hospital for a period 3 months. examination conducted using...

Purpose: The study showed a patient with Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) who was treated implants and fixed dental prosthesis by multidisciplinary team.

With conventional fixed dental prostheses, the interim restoration is a valuable diagnostic tool in the evaluation of esthetics and function. To achieve predictable definitive esthetic results, information about the subgingival and the supragingival contour of a properly designed restoration should be communicated to the dental laboratory technician. The technique described enables the accurate...
