PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical findings and patient satisfaction on implant overdenture designed with Locator implant attachment or Locator bar attachment in mandibular edentulous patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Implant survival rate, marginal bone loss, probing depth, peri-implant inflammation, bleeding, plaque, calculus, complications, and satisfaction were evalu...

Magnetic attachments have been applied for various prostheses. In this report, a fixed partial denture (FPD) to which a detachable gingiva was connected by magnetic attachment was fabricated to support esthetic recovery of the alveolar bone defect and the maxillary anterior missing teeth. Missing teeth, accompanied with an alveolar bone defect, are generally recovered with a removable denture o...

AIM: The purpose of this research was to examine the effect locator attachment versus retention silicone lining material on supporting structure and a single midline implant mandibular overdenture. METHODS: Sixteen patients with completely edentulous mandibles were selected for study divided into two groups. In all patients, placed at area after cone-beam radiography performed. Group I retained...

A dynamic impression is a functional impression that records the functional movement of the patient's own muscle and muscle attachment. This process reduces the number of random factors. This article describes a method for making a special tray using a dynamic impression concept that was made from provisional dentures used for implant healing. The individual tray is used to make a wash-impressi...

The use of a removable partial denture (RPD) in clinical practice remains a viable treatment modality. Various advancements have improved the quality of a RPD, subsequently improving the quality of life for the individuals that use them. This article describes four removable partial denture treatment modalities that provide valuable treatment for the partially edentulous patient. These modaliti...

acrylic base resins are widely used in orthopedics and dental surgery. it is generally accepted that due to the incomplete conversion of methyl methacrylate (mma) monomer to the polymer form during polymerization of the resin, some mma monomers remain in the hardened material. mma monomer has been reported to cause abnormalities or lesions in several organs of animals. study of the literatures ...

The goal of this study was to provide evidence to support simplified treatment of mandibular edentulism using denture fabrication and implant placement to circumvent the need for second-stage surgeries or prosthodontic superstructures. A 5-year prospective clinical trial is reported, which involved treatment of mandibular edentulism using the single-stage surgical placement of a TiOblast microt...
