Clear acrylic resin device for orientation and placement of a small facial prosthesis.
A small-sized facial prosthesis can be difficult to orient accurately in correct relationship to a defect. This problem may be reduced by embedding a magnet in the prosthesis and constructing a magnetic holding device from clear acrylic resin. This device can be used as a stand during adhesive application to reduce adhesive contamination and acts as orientation guide during prosthesis placement.

Implant retained overdentures in mandibular reconstruction: a case report.
This case report describes the clinical and laboratory procedures used in the rehabilitation of a patient treated for oral cancer with surgery and radiation therapy. During surgery, a large portion of the mandible was removed and reconstructed with a bone graft. Following therapy, the patient was left with poor esthetics and difficulties with mastication and speech. The goal of prosthodontic treatment was to improve esthetics and restore function. This was successfully achieved through the placement of dental implants and the construction of an implant retained overdenture. A bar was employed to split the implants together and an O-ring system was chosen for retention. The decision to use this type of prosthesis and attachment selection was based on the patient's dental history, esthetic demands, and the need for stress distribution.

Intranasal conformers: a case report.
This case report describes the clinical and laboratory procedures in treating a patient that was referred to the dental clinic with the chief complaint of difficulty of breathing through his nose. Examination of the patient revealed constricted nostrils as a result of previous surgeries. It was decided that the patient would benefit from construction of intranasal conformers. The conformers were constructed from acrylic resin because of the material's durability, ease of cleaning, esthetics and ability to be hollowed-out to allow for nasal breathing. Alginate molds were used in this case, as this type of mold offers the advantage of being reusable. Although this procedure does not fall within the usual area of dentistry, members of the dental team may, on occasion, be asked for this service.

Spacer made from a visible light-cured resin for processing denture soft liners.
When soft lining materials are used in complete dentures it is important to control their thickness and increase the probability of their staying in the denture base. A spacer made of light-curing denture base material makes it possible to do both of these things. The denture base resin is packed against the hard light-cured spacer and can be partially cured. The cured spacer will not flow or be displaced and can be easily removed to allow an even space for packing the soft lining material.

A spacer that facilitates construction of implant-supported prostheses frameworks.
This article describes a technique that uses polyvinlysiloxane (PVS) putty impression material to create adequate space between the tissue and inferior margin of a framework in pattern construction for implant supported hybrid dentures. This spacer is easily retrieved from the cast, so the dental technician can evaluate and adjust the spacer to a standardized thickness and shape it to form the framework's underside. Basic framework construction for implant hybrid dentures is also reviewed, including specific dimensions, acrylic retentive features and passive construction. PVS putty impression material is easy to obtain, maintains dimensions well and is easy to shape, making it an excellent choice for use as a spacer and a matrix to preserve the position of denture teeth during fabrication.

Problems associated with implant maintenance.
Implants are highly successful alternatives to conventional prostheses when patients are properly selected and sound prosthodontic principles are followed. Yet problems may still be encountered during follow-up exams. The clinician must be educated as to possible problems and adequately prepared to manage the situation.
