Abstract

Some restorative techniques for implant supported restorations will be familiar to dentists used to providing conventional crown and bridgework. The differences and principles involved when using implants are identified.

Stage I indexing to replace a failed implant in an edentulous arch: a clinical report.

Implant failure may complicate and lengthen a planned treatment. This article describes a modified stage I indexing technique for registering the position of an implant and replacing a failed implant, allowing prosthesis fabrication time and healing time to be coincidental. The clinician can proceed as originally planned with a minimal increase in overall treatment time.

A custom-fabricated device for chairside organization of multiple implant components.

Organizing multiple and varied implant components in preparation for providing treatment for a patient with a complex implant prosthesis can be a challenge to even the most experienced practitioner. The many implant abutment component options available, especially when different sizes and types of abutments will be used in 1 arch, can create confusion for both dentist and assistant, hindering chairside efficiency. This article describes the fabrication and use of a custom chairside implant components organizer.

Stress distribution of abutments and base displacement with precision attachment- and telescopic crown-retained removable partial dentures.

Five types of removable partial dentures (two attachment dentures, two telescopic dentures and one clasp denture) were designed. The two attachment dentures were retained by the rigid-precision attachments with or without a stabilizing arm, and the two telescope dentures were retained with cone telescope crowns with or without cross-arch stabilization. The stresses acting on abutment teeth and denture bases and the movements of denture bases were investigated, and the influences of denture design were clarified. The stress acting on a terminal abutment tooth retained by a rigid-precision attachment or cone telescopic crown was larger than that acting on a terminal abutment tooth retained by a clasp. The attachment dentures tended to concentrate more stress at the terminal abutment tooth than did the telescopic dentures. The stress of denture base of an attachment denture and a telescopic denture was less than that of a clasp denture. There was no difference between the stresses of attachment and telescopic dentures. The displacement of the denture base tended to be less when the denture was designed with a rigid connection for the retainer and with cross-arch stabilization.
