Aim: The conometric concept was proposed as a possible connection between the abutment and prosthetic coping. This research aimed to review features clinical uses of this in an implant-supported fixed prosthesis. Methods: An electronic search conducted on online database for topic object; articles published international literature were considered gave 17 results, 6 parameters analyzed. Results...

Osseointegrated titanium implants to the cranial skeleton for retention of facial prostheses have proven to be a reliable replacement for adhesive systems. However, improper placement of the implants can jeopardize prosthetic outcomes, and long-term success of an implant-retained prosthesis. Three-dimensional (3D) computer imaging, virtual planning, and 3D printing have become accepted componen...

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are extremely rare tumors arising in peripheral nerves. Only 17 cases involving the trigeminal nerve have ever been reported. These tumors have a very poor prognosis and very high rates of recurrence and metastases. Their recommended treatment involves complete tumor resection followed by radiation. This can be problematic in the head and neck region. We...

This paper describes a method used for the fabrication of a two-piece denture obturator for a patient who had surgical removal of the premaxilla due to squamous cell carcinoma. The patient had been wearing a two-piece obturator but encountered difficulty in inserting the prosthesis. In this case report, a lock-and-key mechanism was used to easily assemble the two-piece prosthesis intraorally. A...

The aim of this 3-year prospective study was to evaluate the prosthetic treatment in 2 groups of maxillary edentulous patients with similar age and gender distribution: a study group of 39 patients treated with intra-sinus block bone grafts and implants in a 1-stage procedure, and a control (reference) group of 37 patients treated with implants and no grafting. In the study group, bone volumes ...

BACKGROUND Implants that can be used in the prosthetic rehabilitation of full and partial edentulous patients are now frequently used due to advances in dentistry. Despite advanced methods of applications, failures and complications can still be seen. The aim of our study was to evaluate clinical prosthetic values and complications that occurred during 4-year follow-up in implant-supported rest...

Introduction. The retention, stability, and plaque resistance of the obturator prosthesis significantly impact improvement patient?s quality life. aim this paper was to draw attention benefits telescopic prostheses made polyether ether ketone (PEEK). Case report. We present an approach fabrication using PEEK as material choice for primary secondary crowns, which are integral part framework, in ...

The need for repairing a removable partial denture occasionally arises in clinical practice. The common causes for repair of removal partial denture include tissue changes of the residual ridge, breakage or distortion of denture components and complications that arise in the remaining teeth. Distal extension partial dentures are particularly affected as the tissue-base relationship changes over...

A successful management of full mouth rehabilitation demands a multi-disciplinary approach for its long lasting success. The present case report is intended to give an insight into the use of multiple treatment modalities to achieve a balanced, efficient and biomechanically successful prosthodontic treatment with acceptable aesthetics. Treatment of a maxillary and mandibular bilateral distal fr...
