Perforated jejunal diverticulitis.

The 25th case of perforated jejunal diverticulitis is reported and all previous cases are reviewed. The mortality in this group of patients is 32%. Resection of the perforated segment with end-to-end anastomosis seems to offer the best chance of cure.

Factors related to success and failure rates at 3-year follow-up in a multicenter study of overdentures supported by Brånemark implants.

An international prospective study of Brånemark implants retaining overdentures was conducted at nine clinical centers. One hundred thirty-three subjects were recruited in a 12-month period and provided with 510 implants, 117 of which were in maxillae and 393 were in mandibles. This study reports the 3-year follow-up status of 120 overdentures and 444 implants. There were 11 overdenture failures (9.2%). Maxillary overdenture failure rates (27.6%) were nearly nine times greater than mandibular overdenture failure rates (3.3%). Maxillary overdenture treatment was less successful than previously reported fixed implant-supported restorations. However, their mandibular counterparts had success rates slightly higher than those reported for fixed implant-supported restorations. At 3 years, 150 implants remained submerged and 66 implants had been withdrawn because the subjects discontinued study participation. Eleven mandibular and 29 maxillary implants had failed and had been removed from 21 subjects. Logistic regression with forward model selection indicated that one two-way interaction was significantly related to implant failure. At highest risk were the subjects who possessed dental arches with bone quantity E and bone quality 4. Subjects with one implant failure were likely to have more than one failure. The Generalized Estimating Equation was used to adjust for the cluster effect in this population because multiple implants (2 to 6) were placed and evaluated in each of the 133 subjects.

A 5-year prospective multicenter follow-up report on overdentures supported by osseointegrated implants.

This report presents the results of a 5-year prospective multicenter study including nine centers worldwide. A total of 30 patients received 117 Brånemark implants in the maxillae, and 103 patients received 393 implants in the mandibles. According to the protocol, all integrated maxillary implants were to be loaded; however, only two of four mandibular implants were planned for support of the overdentures, leaving the remaining implants covered by mucosa as backup for possible implant failures. Thirty-five patients (26.3%) who were provided with 127 implants (24.9%) were withdrawn from the study. Six patients treated in the maxilla lost all their implants and resumed wearing complete dentures. The cumulative success rates for implants and for overdentures supported by two implants in the edentulous mandible were 94.5% and 100%, respectively. The corresponding cumulative success rates for implants and for overdentures supported by an optimal number of implants in the maxilla were 72.4% and 77.9%, respectively. Significantly better jawbone characteristics at the time of implant surgery were considered to contribute to the better cumulative success rates in the mandibles. Mean marginal bone loss was 0.8 mm (SD 0.8) and 0.5 mm (SD 0.8) for loaded implants during a 5-year period of time in the maxillae and mandibles, respectively. Measurements of the clinical height of the abutment cylinders indicated a mean recession (0.2 mm) of peri-implant mucosa during the follow-up period in the mandibles. Conversely, hyperplasia was observed in the maxillae.

Prosthodontic treatment, patient response, and the need for maintenance of complete implant-supported overdentures: an appraisal of 5 years of prospective study.

The prosthodontic methods and outcomes of treating 127 patients in nine centres over a period of 5 years is described. The benefits perceived by patients and the changes induced in the denture-bearing tissues and temporomandibular joints are reported. To sustain effective treatment outcomes, the levels of maintenance needed by the overdentures are contrasted for restoration of the edentulous mandibles and maxillae.
