Extracoronal resilient attachments in distal-extension removable partial dentures.

Esthetics is often compromised in patients who wear removable partial dentures with metal clasps placed on anterior teeth. Clinical procedures are presented for a new design of a removable partial denture that improves esthetics and function through a new dental attachment. The extracoronal resilient attachment system offers vertical resiliency and universal stress relief for use where a resilient prosthesis is indicated. The removable partial denture retained by these attachments provides esthetics, vertical resiliency, and easy replacement of worn attachments.

MRI-guided stereotatic aspiration for the treatment of deep-seated tentorial empyema: a case report.

Tentorial empyema is a rare intracranial infection. In the past, most authors treated the subdural empyema by craniotomy, craniectomy or burr hole drainage. In the case presented, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided stereotatic aspiration was used to treat deep-seated extensive tentorial empyema successfully, via a simple burr hole to avoid any brain resection and retraction. This operation method is relative simple and effective for treating deep-seated intracranial empyema, significantly reduces the risk of injury to the lateral temporal lobe cortex or transection of optic radiations. On the other hand, it must be emphasized that contrast-enhanced MRI scan may offer a more sensitive and better diagnostic procedure than contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan.
