AIM This clinical report describes the occlusal rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with lost vertical dimension. BACKGROUND The patient did not want a removable partial denture. Implants, fixed restorations with occlusal plane correction, were used to restore the anterior and posterior support and treat the severely worn dentition. However, a partially edentulous patient may be ...

background and aims . peri-implantitis is a chronic progressive marginal infection which is defined as an inflammato-ry reaction affecting the tissues surrounding osseointegrated dental implants resulting in loss of supporting bone. microflora of patients with implants who are edentulous mainly consists of gram positive facultative cocci and non motile rods. pre-dominantly, streptococcus sangui...

dental implants have provided exceptional rehabilitative options for edentulous and partially edentulous patients. however, as more implants come into play, the more the clinicians come across problems where specific considerations must be taken into account to meet expectations. the toronto bridge is a treatment modality proposed for restoring several teeth lost in patients with increased crow...

Objectives. The purpose of this in vitro study were to determine variation in maxillary and mandibular vertical measurements and to assess vertical bone loss made from panoramic radiographs in edentulous measurements. Study Design. In this descriptive study, a total of 600 panoramic radiograph’s of edentulous patient were examined. The mean ages of edentulous patients were 31 and 87 years respe...

PURPOSE To retrospectively analyze the survival rate of endosseous dental implants placed in the edentulous or partially edentulous mandible over a long-term follow-up period of 10 years or more. MATERIALS AND METHODS The charts of patients who underwent mandibular implant placement at a private prosthodontics practice and received follow-up care for 10 years or more were included in this stu...

The most challenging job for a prosthodontist is to rehabilitate the partial edentulous patient especially distal extension cases where fabrication of fixed prosthesis is quite impossible without using implants. Several conventional and contemporary treatment options were available for treating long span edentulous situations. For such cases ,attachment retained cast partial dentures would be t...
