The aim of this study was to present a case report of the surgical removal of hyperplasia in the oral cavity, using carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser radiation and rehabilitation with a complete denture. Epulis fissuratum occurs in complete denture patients, because a constant irritative action induces the mucosa to grow under poorly fitting dentures. These lesions must be removed, and to avoid a re...

OBJECTIVES Oral candidiasis (OC) is a frequent oral lesion in renal transplant patients (RTPs). Despite the increased prevalence of OC in RTPs, no study has examined related risk factors. The aims of this study were to analyze the prevalence of and risk factors for OC in RTPs compared with age- and gender-matched healthy control group (HC) as well as determine the incidence of OC after transpla...

UNLABELLED Provisional implant restorations are essential tools used to optimize the esthetic outcomes for single-tooth implant restorations. This article describes three groups of available alternatives and the specific options within each group including removable prostheses (interim removable partial denture, vacuum-formed appliance), tooth-supported prostheses (bonded extracted or denture t...

One of the recent challenges in the aerospace industry has been to smoothly transition operations-oriented computer systems to meet increasing demands on smaller budgets. Sometimes the best solution is not affordable, but the current situation is equally untenable. Change becomes necessary, but is only acceptable at minimal operational impact and financial costs. Frequently, interim software so...

Faults in dental restorations and prostheses is referred to as iatrogenic factors are common causes of gingival inflammation & periodontal destruction. These factors can easily be prevented by careful examination and proper treatment planning of the case. This report describes a case of poorly designed and cemented fixed partial denture ( FPD) & leading to osseous defect. The management include...

Introduction Tissue conditioners are used for conditioning of denture-bearing inflamed mucosa by ill-fitting dentures prior to fabricating new dentures, for relining the existing dentures, and for provisional relining of immediate dentures and ill-fitting dentures [1-2]. Tissue conditioners have also been used as functional impression materials [1-3]. Their efficacy as functional impression mat...

Fabricating an immediate complete denture can be very challenging in some clinical situations. This report describes a digital workflow to fabricate printed maxillary for patient with severely compromised maxilla. Digital data obtained by using intraoral scanner was utilized reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) image of jaws at desirable vertical dimension occlusion. After performing virtual ...

Introduction Oral rehabilitation of edentulous maxilla is particularly difficult because of the lack of bone in correspondence of maxillary sinuses. Therefore, the surgeon is forced to place implants in sites where bone is more prevalent. In addition, patients require more frequently oral immediate rehabilitation in order to reduce the discomfort related to wearing a total denture. A viable sol...

PURPOSE The purpose of this report was to retrospectively evaluate implant and immediate full-arch prosthesis survival rates over a 24-month period; patients were consecutively treated with immediate occlusal loading. Dental arch, gender, and implant orientation (vertical vs. tilted) were also noted. MATERIALS AND METHODS All Brånemark System implants (Nobel Active) and interim, all-acrylic r...
