One thousand eight hundred seventeen implants were placed in the completely edentulous maxillae of 189 patients (122 female; 67 male). The patients' mean age was 60 years (range 28 to 91 years). Three hundred fifty-six of the 1,817 implants were placed in the pterygomaxillary area, and all patients were restored with complete-arch fixed detachable prostheses. The mean number of implants per max...

Middle Miocene Rhinocerotini are particularly important to understand the origin and evolution of latest then Plio-Pleistocene taxa. However, little is known about some early divergent Rhinocerotina such as ‘Dicerorhinus’ steinheimensis. A sample a small-sized rhinocerotid from (Mammal Neogene Zone 6) locality Devínska Nová Ves (Bratislava, Slovakia) here described for first time. The specimens...

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the anatomical characteristics edentulous residual ridges in stone casts complete dentures users and assess correlations with masticatory efficiency. Methods: sample included 74 casts, which 37 were higher bottom. Measurements performed using a drypoint compass transparent ruler. Arches maxillae mandibles classified into ...

The study aimed to compare between dynamic implant valve (DIVA) and the crestal ballooning techniques in elevating maxillary sinus membrane (MSM) conjunction with simultaneous implantation. Patients methods: 20-patient prospective clinical cohort study. Ages ranged from 42 53 years, had atrophic edentulous maxillae posterior region. To determine status, patients were investigated utilizing intr...

Objetive: To compare the stresses and deformations generated on surrounding bone of zygomatic implants when using an intra sinusal extra-maxillary approach, through finite element method. Material Methods: Computer aided designs (CADs) were constructed SolidWorks Software a skull with resorption to be rehabilitated fixed hybrid prosthesis two conventional straight implants. For boundary conditi...

Study Design: was cross sectional being conducted at Dental Department DOW International College, Karachi for six month from July 2022 December 2022. Methodology: A total number patients N=240. right left sides each patient...

BACKGROUND The present study introduces the design and fabrication of a simple surgical guide with which to perform genioplasty. METHODS A three-dimensional reconstruction of the patient's cranio-maxilla region was built, with a dentofacial skeletal model, then derived from CT DICOM data. A surgical simulation was performed on the maxilla and mandible, using three-dimensional cephalometry. We...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to examine the sinus lateral wall thickness (LWT) of atrophic posterior maxilla (<10 mm) of patients with complete and partial edentulism and determine the influence of residual ridge height (RH), sex, and age on maxillary LWT. METHODS Four hundred fourteen measures were taken from 140 consecutive patients that met the inclusion criteria. On the sele...
