In the current scenario, facial appearance of patient is prime consideration during rehabilitation. The aesthetics edentulous are greatly affected due loss alveolar bone, muscle tonicity which may be lead to undesirable hollowing cheeks with age. Cheek plumper a frequently used, non-invasive, simple prosthesis support sunken and help itscost effectiveness.

BACKGROUND Immediate implant function has become an accepted treatment modality for fixed restorations in totally edentulous mandibles, whereas experience from immediate function in the edentulous maxilla is limited. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report on the medium- and long-term outcomes of a protocol for immediate function of four implants (All-on-4, Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg,...

Background Investigation of the oral flora of edentulous subjects is becoming increasingly important because of recent wide spread use of implants in the treatment of edentulism. Materials and methods Twenty eight newly edentulous patients with age ranged between (40-80) years were included in this study. Saliva samples were collected at two intervals; before taking the primary impression, and ...

Introduction: Rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients using implant-supported fixed prostheses is now a predictable treatment and of proven success in the long term. Objective: The purpose of this paper is to outline a systematic approach to prosthetic rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients, exemplified by a clinical case with bone reconstruction and recovery of the vertical di...

We report the simultaneous rehabilitation of an edentulous patient with a hybrid (zygomatic and conventional implants) all-on-four implant-supported prosthesis for the maxilla and a standard (conventional implants) all-on-four implant-supported prosthesis for the mandible. The transfer impression was made with a multifunctional guide and the upper and lower prostheses were placed 24h postoperat...

BACKGROUND Infections in the oral and maxillofacial region can sometimes extend beyond the oral cavity, with serious consequences. Most oral infections are odontogenic, occurring through the root apex of the tooth or the periodontal pocket. It thus makes sense that edentulous patients have a much lower risk of oral bacterial infection. For this reason, while there are many reports on systemic i...

Xerostomia refers to a subjective sensation of dry mouth. A variety of factors can cause xerostomia including radiotherapy (RT) given for the treatment of oral carcinoma. Depending on the cause, treatment is provided to a patient suffering from xerostomia. In severe xerostomia salivary substitutes can be used and if the xerostomic patient is edentulous, then reservoir space for artificial saliv...

Establishing anatomic reduction of an edentulous mandible fracture is a frequently acknowledged challenge in craniomaxillofacial trauma surgery. In this study, we report a novel method for the reduction of the edentulous mandible fracture, via fabrication of modified Gunning splints using existing dentures and SMARTLock hybrid arch bars. This technique dramatically simplifies the application of...

Restoration of totally edentulous patients with removable prosthesis designs that incorporate osseointegrated implants provides the patient with alternatives to mucosa-supported complete denture [1]. A highly predictable and effective approach is the implant-supported overdenture, which offers improved retention, stability, function, proprioception, and comfort [2,3]. Compared with complete den...

The prosthodontic treatment must provide for the edentulous patients bio-functional prosthetic restorations, bio-prophylactic for the surrounding tissues. In this aim, an edentulous patient must be submitted to a methodical clinical examination in order to establish the quality of hard and soft tissues, which will indicate the degree of difficulty of the prosthetic treatment. Additional investi...
