Abstract

Problems that can occur when single implants are utilized to restore first molar teeth include the frequent loosening of screws, as well as screws and/or implant breakage. These may result from torquing and rotational movements of the prosthesis during masticatory and parafunctional mandibular movements. When sufficient bone and mesio-distal restorative space is present, the placement of two implants should be considered.

The new removable denture patient: treatment procedures.

Dentists are beginning to see a new type of patient who requires removable prosthodontic rehabilitation. These patients are the result of both increases in longevity and dental treatment that has retained teeth, despite the onslaught of caries and periodontal disease. The current procedures for transitioning patients into removable prostheses can be modified for this new group of patients. This article presents a transition procedure for patients who are receiving removable prostheses, which dissociates the surgical phase of treatment from the prosthetic stage. The patient's existing teeth are incorporated into a removable prosthesis in a way that ensures the exact replication of the tooth position in the oral cavity. This method addresses many of the inadequacies of current procedures while at the same time requiring a minimum of chair time. Even with this procedure, this transition is still difficult for the patient.

Splinting osseointegrated implants and natural teeth in rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients. Part II: principles and applications.

Lone standing splinted implant segments are accepted as optimal. However, in the treatment of partial edentulism, clinical reality often predicates the consideration of splinting teeth and implants due to variables of tooth/implant location and available bone support. This article presents a review on biomechanical aspects of splinting teeth and some considerations of splinting teeth and implants. A proposed classification of splinting applicable to both teeth and implants is presented as well as a discussion of the clinical aspects of splinting illustrated with clinical cases.
