PURPOSE To compare the mid-term clinical outcomes in Indian patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a fixed- or mobile-bearing prosthesis. METHODS 120 consecutive patients (50 men and 70 women) aged 55 to 76 (mean, 63) years who had arthritis of the knee with similar deformity and range of motion were randomised to undergo TKA using a fixed- or mobile-bearing prosthesis. Patients w...

The etiology of marginal bone loss around osseointegrated implants is primarily based on the biomechanical and/or microbial factors. If stresses and strains around dental implants under functional loading conditions are expected to exceed the physiologic tolerance thresholds of the alveolar bone, the fixed hybrid prosthesis might be a more reliable treatment of choice instead of fixed metal cer...

Periodontal diseases and wearing dentures for extended periods cause the atrophy of the alveolar ridges. Removable dentures are hard to manage for these kinds of patients. In order to construct fixed prostheses for these patients, complicated surgeries are necessary for implant placement. Hybrid prosthesis on tilted implants are simple solution for these kinds of patients. Two patients with sev...

Purpose: The study showed a patient with Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) who was treated implants and fixed dental prosthesis by multidisciplinary team.

Molding in a fixed prosthesis is one of the most important stages rehabilitative treatment, as it there that attempts are made to reproduce dental preparations and adjoining regions by using appropriate materials techniques. Among molding available on market, elastomers stand out, which polymers where prey occurs through increase chain establishment cross-links. The objective study present clin...

INTRODUCTION: The current study compared in-vitro tibiofemoral axial rotational constraint between 2 posterior stabilized mobile-bearing knee prosthesis and their fixed-bearing counterparts. It was demonstrated that both mobile-bearing knees induced significantly less constraint torque compared to their fixed-bearing counterparts. Highly-constrained design of the fixed-bearing knees substantial...

The aim of this paper is to report a clinical case with bilateral missing mandibular second premolars that were restored by metal-ceramic inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses. The first prosthesis was of a traditional design and the second was of a modified design. The suggested design is created by modifying the retainer wings of the traditional resin-bonded inlay-retained fixed dental prost...

During oral rehabilitation of an edentulous patient with an implant-supported prosthesis, mandibular flexure must be considered an important biomechanical factor when planning the metal framework design, especially if implants are installed posterior to the interforaminal region. When an edentulous mandible is restored with a fixed implant-supported prosthesis connected by a fixed full-arch fra...

Implant rehabilitation of an edentulous mandible presents significant improvements over conventional complete denture therapy with regards to efficient function, esthetics and therefore improve the quality of life to patient's satisfaction. Choosing the right treatment plan to meet the patient's expectations is the prime objective considering his edentulous status and health. Several implant pr...

The psychological effects of tooth loss in the permanent dentition are relatively unknown. Complete edentulousness is a serious life event in terms of readjustment. The aim of the study was to describe the process patients with deteriorating dental status had gone through before treatment with a fixed prosthesis (Brånemark System, Novum), and to describe what living with a fixed prosthesis mean...
