Bell's palsy is an idiopathic unilateral lower motor neuron paresis or paralysis of the facial nerve of sudden onset. It involves loss of muscular control on the affected side of the face. This paper reports the prosthodontic management of patients with Bell's palsy and also describes a technique to stabilize the jaw movements in complete denture patients using interim dentures. A 65-year-old m...

Lack of retention and stability prosthesis coupled with poor masticatory effectiveness is one the most frequent problem faced by edentulous patients. In Present case,using a "Access post over denture system" preferable than using overdentures that are supported teeth in past. A conservative strategy for root preservation was used fabrication access overdenture, which both well-retentive aesthet...

Edentulous orofacial dyskinesia is a rare condition, characterized by involuntary rhythmic movements of the mandible and presents an embarrassing situation for the patient. Edentulism has been considered as one of the proponents of these irregular movements, and rehabilitation of these patients with complete denture-fabrication using traditional technique restores the masticatory inefficiency a...

We report the simultaneous rehabilitation of an edentulous patient with a hybrid (zygomatic and conventional implants) all-on-four implant-supported prosthesis for the maxilla and a standard (conventional implants) all-on-four implant-supported prosthesis for the mandible. The transfer impression was made with a multifunctional guide and the upper and lower prostheses were placed 24h postoperat...

dentures continues to be a frequently applied therapy option. Yet, populating the edentulous jaw with denture teeth to achieve a functional and esthetic rehabilitation poses a tough challenge to the treatment team. Biomechanical, physiological and geriatric concerns must be considered. True-to-nature replication of teeth and soft oral tissues also plays a key part. The objective is to give pati...

Edentulous patients may be restored with complete-arch implant-supported fixed complete dental prostheses (IFCDPs) on angled distal implants or parallel distributed equally across the mandible to increase area of support. A treatment is presented introduce clinical concept providing edentulous an prosthesison tissue-level in standard length interforaminally and ultrashort distally. structured p...

background and aims. occlusal rims are used to determine the jaw relationships in the transverse and vertical dimensions and estimate the inter-occlusal distance in edentulous patients. it is important to find ways to determine the height and shape of the occlusal rims correctly. the aim of the present study was to determine the exact distance between the oral cavity floor and the incisal edges...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, size, location, and morphology of maxillary sinus septa in dentate, partially dentate, and edentulous maxillae. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 312 sinuses were analyzed from reformatted computerized tomograms utilizing SIM/Plant software. The sample consisted of 156 patients (106 women and 50 men, with ages ranging between 24...
