AIM The purpose of this report is to present a strategy for making a diagnosis and providing appropriate treatment for denture patients with high esthetic demands. BACKGROUND Some edentulous patients have critical requirements for the esthetic aspect of dentures. REPORT A 55-year-old edentulous female presented with a complaint of dissatisfaction with the appearance of two sets of old dentu...

statement of the problem: alveolar bone necrosis induced by herpes zoster infection is considered as a rare manifestation of osteomyelitis and few case reports are presented in the literature. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate mandibular osteomyelitis caused by herpes zoster in the immunocompromised patients with histopathologically documented osteomyelitis in the mandible and herp...

Clinical studies have revealed that the main objective of implants in the edentulous jaw is to provide support for fixed prostheses or to stabilize complete dentures. Various attachment systems were developed for universal use in partially and completely edentulous patients such as clasps, cone-shape telescope copings, magnets, bar systems, locators. The aim of this case report is to present th...

Dental implants in partially edentulous patients are a predictable therapeutic option. However, using tooth-to-implant restorations to rehabilitate partially edentulous patients involves highly complex biomechanical aspects. This type of prosthesis utilizes different kinds of support that react distinctly to the functional forces developed in the oral cavity. In some cases, a tooth-to-implant r...

Abstract Complete maxillary and mandibular dentures have been used as a conventional treatment of edentulous patients for longer than a century. Suitable complete maxillary dentures are usually well tolerated but many patients struggle to chew and swallow with the complete mandibular denture because it is too unstable. Previous studies have shown that a mandibular two-implant retained overdentu...

In completely edentulous patients it is comparatively easy to get retention in maxillary denture due to large surface area than mandibular denture.So conventional complete dentures usually fail to satisfy the expectation of patients because of compromised retention, especiallywith mandibulardentures. This createsnegative effects on thepatient’sbehavior towards prosthodontics treatment. So a reh...

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...

Background: In bilateral partial edentulous condition modified Mc Lean’s Impression technique is most commonly advised, this over impression procedure may be time consuming clinically and possible errors too can be induced while recording. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy ofsingle custom tray using medium body elastomeric impression material overmodified Mc Lean’s impress...
