The purpose of this study was to report a rare case an aggressive nasopalatine cyst with nasal involvement in edentulous patient. A 61-year-old Caucasian male presented anterior maxillary lesion that prevented him from wearing his complete upper denture. Clinical examination showed vestibular and palatal swelling around the sites teeth #11, 12 13. Radiological revealed well-limited maxilla natu...

A 64-year-old totally edentulous female initially presented with ill-fitting removable prostheses. A comprehensive treatment plan with dental implants was accepted by the patient. Clinical and laboratory procedures were executed using various computer technologies including computed tomography, rapid prototyping, and optical scanning using conoscopic holography. A review of the patient's treatm...

The goal for this patient was to create an aesthetic smile design using individual dental implants to reconstruct the edentulous spaces. Procera crowns aesthetically restored the separate and distinct teeth (Figures 18 and 19). The patient was thrilled with the final aesthetic result, and she was able to smile confidently again.

This article describes the occlusal rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient who did not want a removable partial denture. Implants and extensive fixed restorations were used to restore posterior support and treat severely worn dentition, respectively. The treatment offered the patient a functional and esthetic result.

Background. The aims of this study were to investigate the ridge contour anterior to the nasopalatine canal, and the difference between the incidences of the nasopalatine canal perforation in dentate and partially edentulous patients by cone-beam computed tomography. Methods. Cone-beam computed tomography scan images from 72 patients were selected from database and divided into dentate and part...

Purpose: The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate the concept of early loading of rough-surfaced implants in the completely edentulous maxilla and in the edentulous posterior mandible and maxilla. Materials and Methods: Fifty-four consecutive patients were treated. Twenty patients were completely edentulous in the maxilla (group A), 19 patients were edentulous in the posterior l...

CONTEXT To fully estimate the burden of illness due to edentulism and establish valid treatment outcomes measures in this regard, it is equally important to study its psychosocial repercussions. AIMS The aim was to conduct a study to explore the emotional reactions to tooth loss, screen for current depressive symptoms and test for association between the two; among an edentulous Gujarati popu...

Smile designing for edentulous patients has not been much investigated; the selection of artificial teeth is a task that follows multiple consequential steps such as choosing their form, size, material, color and disposition. Even if smile designing is thought to involve some artistic abilities, specific techniques or suggestions have been proposed in the literature to perform each step of the ...
