definitive guiding flange prosthesis: a definitive approach in segmental mandibulectomy defect

Short-term prognosis of definitive neonatal infection

Defining the critical-sized defect in a rat segmental mandibulectomy model.

IMPORTANCE Advances in tissue engineering offer potential alternatives to current mandibular reconstructive techniques; however, before clinical translation of this technology, a relevant animal model must be used to validate possible interventions. OBJECTIVE To establish the critical-sized segmental mandibular defect that does not heal spontaneously in the rat mandible. DESIGN AND SETTING ...

Guide flange prosthesis for early management of reconstructed hemimandibulectomy: a case report

Surgical resection of the mandible due to presence of benign or malignant tumor is the most common cause of the mandibular deviation. Depending upon the location and extent of the tumor in the mandible, various surgical treatment modalities like marginal, segmental, hemi, subtotal, or total mandibulectomy can be performed. The clinicians must wait for extensive period of time for completion of ...

A custom template and definitive prosthesis allowing immediate implant loading in the maxilla: a clinical report.

PURPOSE The purpose of the present investigation was to examine to what extent precision data from 3-dimensional planning software for oral implants can be transferred to the operative field by means of a drilling template, containing high-precision drilling sleeves, fitted on the jawbone. It was investigated whether this procedure would allow advance preparation of a fixed definitive prosthesi...

A Definitive Volume on Temperament

this book there does seem to emerge something of a consensus on the dimensions of temperament and on their relation to adult personality. According to Rothbart (2012; page 10) these include activity level, anger/ irritation, behavioral inhibition, positive emotionality, effortful control, and perhaps empathy and sensory sensitivity. The major sections of this volume are labeled Foundation, Basi...

A Systematic Approach for the Construction of Definitive Screening Designs

Definitive screening (DS) designs, first proposed by Jones and Nachtsheim (2011), have received much attention due to their good design properties and runsize economy. This paper investigates the structure of three-level DS designs and suggests a theoretically-driven approach to constructing DS designs for any number of run size. This construction method is computationally efficient and univers...
