Introduction: Rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients using implant-supported fixed prostheses is now a predictable treatment and of proven success in the long term. Objective: The purpose of this paper is to outline a systematic approach to prosthetic rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients, exemplified by a clinical case with bone reconstruction and recovery of the vertical di...

Introduction: Elderly individuals, with or without full dentures, have often been offered probiotics to aid digestion. An increase in saliva production due the use of is noted. Therefore, it was decided conduct this research determine effects on quantity and pH patients who are entirely denture-free after 60 days use. Aim: The goal study evaluate whether not probiotic supplementation causes an ...

Background: 3D printed complete dentures fabrication with computer-aided designing and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques is becoming popular nowadays. However, studies that analyzed the occlusal forces distribution using recent digital methods as T-scan III further evaluated effect on patient`s life quality were lacking. Objectives: Evaluation of III, evaluation oral health-related (OHRQoL) Or...

PURPOSE Little is known about the relationship between implant patient mortality compared to reference populations. The aim of this study was to report the mortality pattern in patients treated with dental implants up to a 15-year period, and to compare this to mortality in reference populations with regard to age at surgery, sex, and degree of tooth loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient cumula...

In spite the literature has been reported that the number of total edentulous people have declined, the number of complete edentulous patients who need rehabilitation with dentures is still high [1]. The loss of all natural teeth causes several negative social effects and the fabrication of complete denture that is as similar as possible to the real condition is essential to obtain the success ...

background: questionnaire is a suitable tool for evaluating the subjective masticatory function in edentulous patients. however, there is no validated persian version of masticatory function questionnaire. the aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the translated persian version of the quality of masticatory function (qmf) questionnaire in terms of validity and reliabi...

UNLABELLED The choice of a suitable prosthesis for a specific case is determined to a great extent by the underlying residual bone as well as the mucosa. Also of significance are the expectations and demands of the patient from the prosthesis. The following case report discusses the rehabilitation of a complete edentulous mandibular arch with an implant retained mandibular over denture. CLINI...

Purpose: To evaluate success rates and complications of implants placed with a flapless technique and immediately loaded in fully edentulous maxillae. Materials and Methods: Implants were placed in fully edentulous maxillae with a minimum insertion torque of 45 Ncm in underprepared sites to allow maximum stability at insertion using a flapless technique. Implants were immediately loaded. Outcom...

BACKGROUND Immediate implant function has become an accepted treatment modality for fixed restorations in totally edentulous mandibles, whereas experience from immediate function in the edentulous maxilla is limited. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate a protocol for immediate function (within 3 hours) of four implants (All-on-4, Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden) supporting a ...

The complexity of rehabilitation for totally edentulous patients makes it necessary to devise treatment strategies that meet the patients' expectations in terms of function, esthetic, psychological, and social aspects. The aim of this study was to i) compare the satisfaction of edentulous patients who had been rehabilitated with implant-supported overdentures and fixed prostheses in the mandibl...
