Abstract

Implant complications are rare, but they can include nerve injury, bone loss, infection, injury to adjacent teeth and their supporting structures, premature loss of implants or the prosthesis fitted on the implant, bone fracture, and oroantral (ie, mouth, maxillary sinus) and oronasal (ie, mouth, nose) fistulae. Oral implants represent a new technological possibility. Whether it is used to replace a single tooth, several missing teeth, or an entire dentition, dental implants restore the feeling of having one's own natural teeth. This can improve the patient's physical and psychological health.

Digital radiology for implant treatment planning and evaluation.

Digital radiology has provided the clinician with the ability to store and manipulate radiographic information. The purpose of this paper is to present two applications of digital imaging to implantology. The first application is a personal computer-based imaging technique which can be used to plan the placement of endosseous dental implants using three-dimensional computed tomography images obtained with commercial software. The second application uses digital subtraction radiography to assess longitudinal bony change around dental implants.

[Organ, tissue transplantation, prosthetic surgery and dental focal infections: attitude of the dental surgeon].

The rational use of oral surgery therapy and techniques allows the preservation of total, or part of the infected dental organ. With patients who are about be grafted or undergo prosthetic surgery, the oral state is of prime importance and requires special attention. Getting such patients ready for operation must take into consideration the pathology for which they have been admitted to hospital. Therefore the length of oral care fully justifies its priority in the patient's preparation previously to surgery.
