Partial edentulism has multiple implications in relation to function, esthetics and future rehabilitative treatment. This case report illustrates the management of a patient with extreme consequences of partial edentulism. The main clinical findings were unopposed remaining teeth, overeruption of the remaining teeth, loss of vertical dimension of occlusion, and significant disfigurement of the ...

Purpose The purpose of the study was to compare long-term performance three prostheses for partial edentulism: implant-supported, fixed denture (IFD), (FPD), and removable (RPD), in terms prosthesis survival oral health-related quality life (OHRQoL).

Background and aim Given the importance of evaluating the maxillary sinus lateral wall thickness (LWT) to avoid complications during surgery, the aim of this study was to examine LWT as well as the effect of residual ridge height (RH), edentulous region, type of edentulism, age and gender on it. Methods In this cross-sectional study conducted in 2016, 150 samples of the CBCT imaging archives ...

background: questionnaire is a suitable tool for evaluating the subjective masticatory function in edentulous patients. however, there is no validated persian version of masticatory function questionnaire. the aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the translated persian version of the quality of masticatory function (qmf) questionnaire in terms of validity and reliabi...
