Prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous cleft lip and palate patient with a combined hard soft defect is great challenge, due to the lack retention obturator prosthesis as result its weight inability obtain border seal. Dental implants improve retention, stability, occlusal function prostheses when used in carefully selected cases. This clinical report presents unilateral who has defects atr...

Background: Each organ serves a specific function in the human body. Congenital absence or loss of even minor parts it can pose extreme psychological trauma addition to functional impairment and esthetic issues encountered by individual. Amputation complete part phalange hand is frequently either due necrosis. Restoration such defects become mandatory improve general form combined with requirem...

The lack of retention in complete dentures is a common complaint. The incorporation of the tooth supported overdenture in prosthodontics offers improvements related to patient satisfaction and masticatory capacity compared to the conventional complete denture. Retention of the roots of one or more teeth for overdenture offers the patient a lot of advantages like better stability, proprioception...

The use of facial prostheses such as wax ears has been reported in ancient Egypt. The first historically documented evidence comes from sixteenth century, when the French surgeon Ambroise Paré describes the first nose prostheses from gold, silver and “papier mâché”, which were held to the face by a string tied around the head. In late 19th century Claude Martin conceived an idea of an immediate...

A 47-year-old man underwent surgical resection and reconstruction with a fibula osteocutaneous flap. After the surgery, a surgical obturator was placed and adjusted. After flap healing, a conventional obturator was fabricated with polymethyl methacrylate resin and retained by the anatomical undercuts around the reconstructed fibula bone flap and the posterior part of the defect. As the defect s...

Implant-supported craniofacial prostheses are made to restore defective areas in the face and cranium. This clinical report describes a technique for fabrication of an orbital prosthesis with three adjacent implants in the left lateral orbital rim of a 60-year-old woman. Selection of appropriate attachment system (individual magnetic abutments versus bar-clip attachment) for implant-supported o...

Ceramic post-and-core systems offer biocompatibility, aesthetics, reinforcement of the remnant root, and prosthesis retention. Aesthetic posts-and-cores contribute to the optical properties of the overlying restorations when metal-free crowns are used. This article illustrates the use of these materials to provide strength and aesthetics during the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. T...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Maxillofacial defects due to malignant or benign tumors or congenital defects often result in complications such as the impairment of facial aesthetic, mastication, speech, and swallowing. Remedy of these defects, especially in a dentate patient is an important challenge in prosthodontics. Maxillectomy can lead to severe anatomical changes f...

Surgical resection of the lips is a relatively uncommon procedure, and it usually presents surgical and prosthodontic rehabilitation challenges. The goals of prosthetic treatment include regaining favorable speech and restoration of esthetics. This clinical report described a method for fabricating a lip prosthesis that uses resin-bonded retentive elements bonded to the patient's teeth for rete...
