Abstract

A modified impression technique is proposed to simplify chairside procedures for the IMZ implant system. This technique saves time and reduces the need for a comprehensive stock of system components. It further facilitates the fabrication of suprastructures on convergently or divergently placed implants.

Tooth stabilization and splinting before and after periodontal therapy with fixed partial dentures.

The design and use of fixed partial dentures as a definitive restoration to stabilize and splint teeth have been reviewed. The provisionalization of the splinted patient has been described as it is incorporated into the treatment plan of patients with a weakened periodontium. The current controversy of incorporating implants in the patient requiring splinting was discussed, and recommendations are made. Dentists are encouraged to explain all potential ramifications of splinting with fixed partial dentures, including cost, frequency of office visits, and potential alterations or remakes of the prosthesis should physiologic demands surpass the capabilities of the remaining teeth.

A minimally invasive second-stage procedure for single-tooth implants.

The natural look of dental restorations has become a universally claimed treatment objective, especially when single-tooth gaps are restored with implants. A harmonious gingival margin is crucial to achieve this goal. This article presents a new procedure for exposure of single-tooth implants that yields a favorable esthetic result in the visible maxillary regions because of the simple type of incision used. The procedure consists of two incisions: the first incision makes it possible to find out the implant position and the second incision shapes the mucous membrane according to local supply. The second incision also prevents the soft tissue from tearing after careful stretching and subsequent pressing of the supraimplant mucosa. There is minimal soft tissue traumatization, and as a result, healing time can be reduced to 1 week and an appealing esthetic result can be reached.
