Implant Dentistry has evolved dramatically since it’s inception as an anchor for the fully edentulous patient population. Today, more than ever, implants are being utilized for the partially edentulous patient as segmental or single tooth replacements where long term function and esthetics are of prominent importance. The dental implant specialist must therefore attempt to work backwards from t...

PURPOSE Little is known about the relationship between implant patient mortality compared to reference populations. The aim of this study was to report the mortality pattern in patients treated with dental implants up to a 15-year period, and to compare this to mortality in reference populations with regard to age at surgery, sex, and degree of tooth loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient cumula...

BACKGROUND Rehabilitation using an implant supported overdenture with two implants inserted in the interforaminal region is the easiest and currently accepted treatment modality to increase prosthetic stabilization and patient satisfaction in edentulous patients. The insertion of implants to the weakend mandibular bone decreases the strength of the bone and may lead to fractures either during o...

This paper shows the clinical steps for preparing a screw-retained crown restoration of single implant. A 66-year-old female patient came to clinic wanted replace partial edentulous after extraction 24 and 25. Patient have implant treatment with fixed because he had experienced same before in another regions Impression-taking using open-tray technique delivery is presented step-by-step manner e...

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...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this sub-analysis of two prospective studies was to assess the incidence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis in fully edentulous patients with an implant-retained mandibular overdenture during a 10-year follow-up period. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and fifty edentulous patients with two endosseous implants to support a mandibular overdenture were availabl...

In edentulous patient, restoring labial fullness is a delicate technique. To achieve our clinical aim, proper communication between the dentist and laboratory technician required. some completely cases, prominent enlarged flange of complete denture contributes to poor facial aesthetics. solve this problem, was adjusted gum-fit or flangless prescribed. This case reports presents simple, cost-eff...

OBJECTIVE It is more difficult to perform bag-mask ventilation in edentulous patients than in patients with intact dentition. The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) provides a better alternative to the standard face mask if the facial contours of the patient are not suited for the standard face mask. We aimed to compare these two different LMAs in edentulous geriatric patients. METHODS Edentulous pa...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine the relation of osteoporosis and body mass index to edentulous jaw bone resorption. MATERIAL AND METHODS Study included 48 postmenopausal totally edentulous female patients, aged 50 to 84 years (average age 69.73), with period of at least 2 years after last tooth extraction. Bone mineral density was determined in the femoral neck and the lumbar ...

The purpose of this study was to study the stability of teeth adjacent to posterior edentulous spaces and correlate it with patient age and time lapse since tooth loss. Dental casts, panoramic radiographs, and questionnaires of patients treated in a University setting were employed. Teeth adjacent and opposing posterior edentulous spaces were examined for the following parameters: Supraeruption...
