Filter by:This study is designed to recall all patients who have received a full-arch monolithic zirconia implant supported fixed dental prosthesis in the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Dentistry Graduate Prosthodontic and/or Dental Faculty Practice clinics between January 1, 2008 to September 1, 2015. The main purpose is to evaluate the biological and technical complications associated with this form of prosthetic treatment. Additionally patient centered outcomes will be evaluated.
The aim of this observational study is: producing complete dental prosthesis with the aid of CAD-CAM (Computer aided design & manufacturing) - 3D printing (Stereolithography) technology - using as printable material Poli(methylmetacrylate) - PMMA - with Nano TiO2 nanoparticles composite completely characterized.
The aim of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness of the mandibular overdenture retained by a single implant. The study hypothesis is that SIMO is more effective but more costly than the conventional denture, though this incremental cost is relatively low for the offered effectiveness in terms of clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
Study to assess the performance of six short implants (ANKYLOS C/X 6.6 mm) in the edentulous maxilla supporting fixed full-arch bridges after 5 years in function.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a simplified technique of conventional dentures fabrication, comparing it to a traditional technique, by evaluating the impact of oral health on quality of life, satisfaction of individuals and chewing efficiency as well assessing the quality of prosthetics and TMD. Furthermore, the cost involved in the manufacture of dentures through technique simplified will be compared to the cost involved in the traditional technique.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of abutment macro-design on soft and hard tissue responses. This trial is designed as a randomized controlled clinical study in which two groups of fourteen partially edentulous patients will have as part of their treatment one implant placed in the maxillary premolar region.
1. Hypothesis/Specific aims The aim of the present study proposal is to validate an implant treatment concept in the edentulous upper maxilla using four implants-supported locators abutments to retain removable prosthesis. Specific aims: - The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the implant and prosthodontics success rates of the proposed implant treatment approach after a follow-up period of 1, 3 and 5 years as well as the biological and prosthodontics complications. - The secondary objective is to assess the evolution of patient centered outcomes with the suggested treatment in the maxilla. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and patients' satisfaction relating to their prostheses will be considered. - The third objective will be to compare the implant, prosthodontics and patient-centered outcomes according to the implant distribution; 4 anterior to maxillary sinus (ANT) versus 2 anterior implants and 2 implants in the maxillary tuberosity (POST). Hypothesis: - Implant survival rate using this treatment concept is similar to restoration with implant-supported fixed prosthesis, based on published data. No difference of implant survival rates is found between ANT and POST implant distribution. - Prosthodontics survival rate using the following treatment concept is similar to the ones found with a bar, based on published data. The ANT implant distribution causes fewer prosthodontics complications compared to the POST implant distribution. - There is a significant improvement in OHRQoL and patient satisfaction compared to the baseline OHRQoL observed with a conventional removable denture. The levels of improvement OHRQoL and patient satisfaction are similar for ANT and POST implant distributions.
With an aging population a prevalence of edentulous patients increased above 60 % among individuals aged ≥65 yr. Face mask ventilation of these edentulous patients is often difficult because of the inadequate fitting of the standard mask to the face. In addition, because of a reduction in muscle tone under general anesthesia, the air space in the oropharynx is reduced, and posterior displacement of the tongue, soft palate and epiglottis tend to close the airway. The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) provides a better alternative to the standard face mask if the facial contours of the patient are not suited to the standard face mask. 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 to the standard face mask. We aimed to compare the routinely used laryngeal mask airway in our clinic, the LMA Unique™ with the newly released LMA Supreme™ in edentulous elderly patients for the success in first attempt insertion, ease and time of insertion, and oropharyngeal leak pressure.
The objective of this study is to compare two surgical procedure to place implant in severely resorbed posterioir part of the maxilla.
The purpose of this study is to investigate denture satisfaction following the conversion of existing mandibular complete dentures to implant-overdentures (IOD) in very old edentulous patients who depend on help for activities of daily living (ADL) and evaluate secondary endpoints such as functional, structural, nutritional, cognitive and patient-centered outcome measures.
