[Value of dental CT for the implant specialty in mouth, jaw and facial surgery].

The importance of dental CT in comparison to conventional OPT in implantation diagnostics is demonstrated in specific indication groups (atrophy of upper and lower jaw, patient after tumor and reconstructive surgery). The application of radiological techniques is illustrated in relation to diagnostic information quality, radiation exposure and cost effectiveness regarding clinical routine use.

A flasking technique for microwave processing of silicone prostheses.

Polyvinylchloride plumbing parts provide a readily available source of material to use in making facial prostheses. Inexpensive pipe fittings (end cap attachments and closet flanges) can be combined to provide a durable container for stone molds that can be tightened in a strong curing press. The entire unit can be cured in a microwave oven in 30 minutes.

The response of porous hydroxyapatite to contiguous tissue infection.

Two patients are presented in whom severe clinical infection developed in tissue adjacent to and contiguous with previously implanted blocks of porous hydroxyapatite. Both infections resolved with appropriate antibiotics, debridement, and drainage of infected tissues. Hydroxyapatite blocks were left in situ. This unusually favorable response of an alloplast to infection is attributable to the abundant vascular supply of this porous implant. Although reliable dogma can hardly be concluded from two clinical examples, these experiences suggest that once ingrown, porous hydroxyapatite does not behave in a fashion that is typical of foreign bodies in the midst of infection. For the first time, clinical evidence has been offered to support the experimental data that vascularized hydroxyapatite has the ability to resist infection.
