PURPOSE The aim of this article is to analyze the preference for treatment modality of dentists. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data of 20,038 patients was involved. Data analysis were done by distribution according to the various kinds of prosthesis, including complete denture, removable partial denture, fixed partial denture, implant-supported dental prosthesis as well as distribution according to th...

Polymeric fixed partial prosthesis represents an important part of the prosthetic treatment. Their presence in the oral cavity could lead to fracture them and to alter the final prosthetic treatment. Time Domain Optical Coherence Tomography can be used as a noninvasive evaluation method and 3D reconstructions which could generate a real forecast on those prosthesis in the oral cavity environmen...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM In recent years, direct metal laser sintered (DMLS) metal-ceramic-based fixed partial denture prostheses have been used as an alternative to conventional metal-ceramic fixed partial denture prostheses. However, clinical studies for evaluating their long-term clinical survivability and acceptability are limited. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the ef...

Prosthetic periodontal treatment with a fixed partial prosthesis has been carried tients affected by severe periodontitis in order to restore dentition to good health, function, and esthetics. The literature has proven that the biological capability of teeth with a reduced but healthy periodontium successfully supports a fixed partial prosthesis over time. In gren demonstrated that fixed bridge...

screw-retained implant restorations have an advantage of predictable retention as well as retrievability, and obviate the risk of excessive sub-gingival cement commonly associated with cement retained implant restorations. screw-retained restorations generally have screw access holes, which can compromise esthetics and weaken the porcelain around the holes. the purpose of this study is to descr...

This article describes the modification of a procedure for fabricating a laboratory-processed, metal-reinforced, acrylic resin provisional restoration that becomes an implant-retained fixed partial denture. The modification involves the incorporation of patrix and matrix components into a cast metal framework. The prosthesis can be used as an alternative to a removable radiologic stent and surg...

This article describes the intraoral preparation of healing abutments for use as prefabricated abutments for a cement-retained, implant-supported prosthesis. After the healing abutments are prepared, an impression is made with irreversible hydrocolloid, and the provisional restoration is fabricated indirectly. This technique is an easy and economical alternative for the fabrication of provision...

Implant and prosthesis success for 77 partially edentulous patients, provided with 97 fixed prostheses, supported by 230 Brånemark implants, in place for up to 12 years (mean 5.41 years), were documented in this study. Implant losses per location mirrored their placement, with no difference between zones I and II or between the maxilla and mandible. The implant success rate was 94%, and continu...

Harmonious occlusion is a critical requirement for successful oral rehabilitation. Conventional techniques of construction have been unsuccessful in producing a prosthesis that can be inserted without intraoral occlusal adjustment. This article discusses the use of functionally generated path technique with double casting to fabricate fixed partial dentures. The merits of this approach and the ...
