摘要:

Parents and dentists are forced to make a decision early in a young patient's life when it is learned that the lateral incisors are missing. For many years the treatment has been to either move the cuspids into the lateral incisor sites s or retain the teeth in their natural environment and restore the defect with a bonded or fixed bridge. With the advent of new designs in dental implants and their abutments, it is possible to consider replacing missing single teeth with implant-borne prostheses. Often-times, because of the limited residual bone and proximity of adjacent roots, placing conventional cylinder or screw-type implants is difficult. This article demonstrates the advantages of using a tapered-step implant, immediate one-stage surgery, and temporization in replacing congenitally missing laterals.

摘要:

This article reviews the development of staple bone plates for mandibular reconstruction over the past 25 years. A case study utilizing the Smooth Staple Implant System in a severely resorbed mandible is presented. Benefits of this system include reduction of the surgical operating and reconstruction time, elimination of the need to harvest a bone graft, the ability to create a functional prosthesis within 24 to 48 hours of the implant surgery, and increased cost-effectiveness.

摘要:

Facial trauma injuries secondary to gunshot wounds present a unique challenge. These wounds are avulsive and typically involve the destruction of soft tissue with bone loss. A technique in bone transplantation is that of particulate cancellous bone and marrow. Initial form and stability can be provided by a titanium mesh tray or reconstruction plates while the graft undergoes maturation and consolidation. Dental implants can then be placed in this grafted site to provide stabilization for a functional and comfortable prosthesis and for the support of the peri-oral soft tissues.

摘要:

Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin that manifests itself in the maxillofacial area with marked deformity. After removal of the tumor, prosthetic reconstruction may be challenging because of extensive tissue loss, which necessitates careful treatment planning. We describe a case in which a patient lost considerable supporting tissue after excision of the tumor. The mandible was grafted with autogenous corticocancellous bone harvested from the left anterior iliac crest in a delayed manner. After healing, six implants were placed. After second-stage surgery, a new method was used to reduce thickness of the soft tissue around the implants. A cement-retained nine-unit fixed partial denture was fabricated in three clinical visits. The patient has been monitored for 5 years with no complications despite the use of cement to retain the prosthesis and the unfavorable crown-to-root ratio.
