The inability to consistently achieve a passive fit with screw-retained implant prostheses is well documented in the literature. Cement-retained implant frameworks have been advocated for implant-retained fixed partial dentures. However, cement retention has not been routinely advocated for fixed-detachable hybrid prostheses. This article describes a method for fabricating a cement-retained fix...

The anterior guide is a functional entity, which part of the set guidance provided by dento-dental joints to mandibular kinematics, essential for establishment harmonious occlusal relations. key understanding and reconstructing occlusion, playing both role protecting posterior teeth guiding movements mandible. Currently, it also represents an “exteroceptive feeler” creating cone access occlusio...

INTRODUCTION Fractures involving bones containing a component of a prosthetic joint are becoming more common. The causation is multifactorial but most of these injuries are associated with trivial trauma. The options available for operative management of these fractures include internal fixation of the fracture alone, fixation of the fracture with revision of the prosthesis, and reconstruction ...

BACKGROUND Metal prostheses are useful for restoring elbow and forearm stability when the radial head cannot be fixed after a fracture. Because the anatomy of the radial head is difficult to reproduce with a prosthesis, two different options have been proposed: a bipolar prosthesis with a fixed stem and a mobile head, and a monoblock prosthesis with a smooth stem that is intentionally fixed loo...

A direct bonded fixed partial dental prosthesis, with a composite resin denture tooth as a pontic, a tri-n-butylborane initiated adhesive resin, and screw posts for reinforcement, was still functioning after an observation period of 20 years. The prosthesis was found to be reliable for long-term clinical use when chemically and mechanically reinforced.

A Simplified Approach to Fixed Metal-ceramic Reconstructions R estoring the edentulous patient with an implantsupported fixed complete denture prosthesis is a challenging procedure. Fixed metal-ceramic reconstructions are inherently different from fixed complete dentures or implant overdentures. From a prosthodontic perspective, there are 3 phases of treatment for these types of rehabilitations:
