Filter by:Loss of teeth leads to loss of function and lack of normal alveolar growth, along with unpleasant esthetics that hamper the psychosocial development of the young child. Traditionally, the management of single tooth loss in a young child is done by conservative means. The presence of large pulp chambers in incompletely mineralized immature teeth of children predisposes the pulp to loss of vitality in cases of complete coverage restorations . Hence, the clinician resorts to partial coverage prostheses such as Maryland Bridge, resin-bonded restorations, or removable prostheses in cases of multiple missing teeth. None of these treatment methods are completely satisfactory and have their drawbacks. Partial dentures are dependent on the child's compliance. They increase the rate of decay and may cause gingival disease leading to bone resorption. Furthermore, there is a need to refabricate a new prosthesis from time to time to compensate for craniofacial growth. Mini-screw implant placement in a young child would be an ideal method of treatment for the absence of teeth. They restore the function, preserve the alveolar bone, and give excellent esthetics, restoring the child's confidence and social acceptability. Parents are usually keen to get this treatment done as soon as offer the suggestion. To our knowledge, there is no previous study that compared the two techniques. The limited evidence shows that mini-screw implants supported pontics are useful transitional restorations for missing permanent maxillary incisors in children and adolescents; however, further well-designed clinical trials are needed in this regard. As a result, this study will be conducted to fill the gap of knowledge.
Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of the Effect of Hyaluronic Acid Surface Treatment Versus Sandblasted Acid Etched on Stability of Delayed Dental Implant in Posterior Maxilla.
Immediately implantation and immediate prosthesis could preserve the alveolar contour and gingival shape. The visiting time is quiet long. Pre-made prosthesis is a way to shorten the visiting time. But the implant has to be placed precisely. Novel digital workflow integrating dynamic navigation or static surgical guide to process one-visit single -implant immediate loading is possible. The study is to compare the x-guide dynamic navigation system or static guide system which one could assist the surgery more accuracy and place the prosthesis more smoothly.
This study is mainly targeted affected teeth which could not be retained, and patients are willing to undergo implant repair at the later stage. After teeth extraction, Geistlich Bio-Oss ® Particles or Bio-Oss ® Collagen are immediately implanted in the teeth extraction socket and covered with Bio-Gide ® collagen membrane for site preservation.Through postoperative follow-up, postoperative clinical and imaging objective indicators, combined with the subjective evaluation of surgeons and patients, and compared with conventional extraction treatment method, the study is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different site preservation of alveolar crest preservation, in order to reduce the alveolar bone width and height loss, effectively reduce alveolar bone absorption, or even achieve bone incrementation, thus to get the ideal site preservation effect, to improve the oral implant success rate, improve implant aesthetic score and patient satisfaction, provide more clinical standard reference of the clinical application of site preservation.
The interest in partial coverage retainers such as inlays and onlays have increased drastically because these restorations are able to provide a more conservative option requiring minimal tissue removal thus preserving healthy tooth structure to a maximum extent. If patient rejects an implant treatment and enough sound tooth structure is available it would be desirable to restore a missing tooth with Inlay-Retained Fixed Partial Denture instead of full coverage retained one . The use of all-ceramic materials for inlays and onlays in restorative dentistry is becoming more popular , the proper selection of restorative materials, careful preparation design and adequate adhesion between tooth/restorative material interfaces considered important factor to prevent failures . Zirconia was introduced into dentistry in the 1990s.The high initial strength and fracture toughness of zirconia results from a physical property of partially stabilized zirconia known as transformation toughening. On the other hand, its white color, similar to the color of natural teeth and its ability to transmit light makes it useful in aesthetically important areas . Inlay Fixed Partial Denture restoration may have increased the risk of fracture due to the relative small size of restorations compared to the complete coverage restoration. An unfavorable distribution of stresses between the ceramic inlay and tooth structure may result in marginal deterioration around the inlay or its failure. The direction of forces on the occlusal surface of Inlay Fixed Partial Denture may lead to the phenomenon of submargination, ceramic fracture, wear at interface and postoperative hypersensitivity which remain a problem that require further investigation. One of the most important factors in the success and longevity of a restoration is to have an accurate marginal fit. Ideally, the cemented restoration should precisely meet the finish line of the prepared tooth. In reality, clinical perfection is challenging to achieve and to verify.
In implant dentistry, platform switching is a method used to preserve alveolar bone levels around dental implants. The concept refers to using an implant with slopped shoulder neck of narrower diameter on implants of wider diameter, rather than placing abutments of similar diameter, referred to as platform matching.The aim of the study is to compare the effect of bone-level implants versus the conventional implant on oral soft tissues.
The trial is done in order to reinforce polyamide to improve its modulus of elasticity to be able to use it as a denture base material in all clinical cases
Tooth replacement is a significant issue in the World. Such replacement is considered important by patients to improve aesthetics, function and quality of life. Tooth replacement is therefore a significant issue. Resin-bonded bridges (RBBs) are conservative and cost-effective tooth replacement option that involves minimal tooth preparation and are secured in place with an adhesive cement by bonding to the outer enamel layer of the tooth. Clinical reports of these prostheses at the University of Hong Kong shows some of the highest success rate and greatest longevity in the dental literature. However, a problem with this type of prosthesis in that it still needs some tooth preparation to accommodate the framework thickness of the bridge. In some patients with tooth wear, this may mean cutting through the enamel crown down into dentine which will weaken the tooth. In light of the tooth preparation some patients will refuse this treatment, in particular patients with dental drill phobias. The aim of this study is to investigate RBBs with tooth preparation and with no tooth preparation for the replacement of single missing teeth in a randomized controlled trial. However, a significant consequence of a no preparation RBB will mean that after cementation the prosthesis will interfere with the patient's bite, making the bridge prosthesis stand high. This will take time for the patient's original occlusion to re-establish itself by the movement of the tooth supporting the bridge. Despite the success of "supra-occluding" restoration has been reported in some studies, currently neither no preparation nor supraoccluding dental bridges are the standard of care for general dental practitioners and have not been reported on as a clinical trial in the literature. Most symptoms reported for supraoccluding restorations were transient and are reversible. The findings of this research will have significant impact on the teaching and practice for clinical prosthodontics and patient care worldwide. Patients will have a dental prosthesis that requires no dental drilling, no local anaesthetic and will have a stronger tooth supporting the bridge that should have greater longevity. More patients, in particular phobic patients will therefore seek treatment for tooth replacement with this conservative treatment option.
