Case report: temporary restoration for a single tooth implant prosthesis with adverse axial inclination of the fixture.

Providing an acceptable temporary restoration can be a challenge on a single implant where surgical considerations have dictated an adverse axial alignment. Prefabricated temporary abutments do not incorporate compensation for such implant positions. A temporary restoration can serve multiple functions. This case report describes a technique to provide an acceptable temporary restoration for a malaligned single tooth implant.

Development of gingival esthetics in the edentulous patient prior to dental implant placement using a flangeless removable prosthesis: a case report.

Development of gingival contours found in healthy natural dentitions enhances the esthetic results achieved with implant-supported fixed prostheses. However, this endeavor is frequently difficult to achieve, especially in the completely edentulous patient. Edentulous patients with optimal hard and soft tissue can be treated with a specially designed removable prosthesis that will develop gingival contours prior to implant placement. By means of a transitional complete removable prosthesis with ovate pontics and no labial flange, a natural-looking soft tissue profile can be developed prior to dental implant placement. A minimally invasive tissue punch surgical technique is used to place the implants, which are immediately restored with a 1-piece, cross-arch, provisional fixed prosthesis. This article presents the prosthodontic and surgical protocols utilized to improve the appearance of the definitive implant rehabilitation.

The effect of cooling techniques on intrapulpal temperature during direct fabrication of provisional restorations.

In vitro measurements were made of the heat transferred to the pulp chamber during the direct fabrication of extracoronal provisional restorations. The temperature was monitored for the following four groups: (1) control--the provisional restoration was left on the tooth with no coolant used; (2) removal--the provisional restoration was removed upon initial resin polymerization; (3) in situ--the provisional restoration was left in place and cooled with an air/water spray; and (4) on/off--the provisional restoration was repeatedly removed and replaced upon initial polymerization while using an air/water spray. The intrapulpal temperature rises were as follows: control 7.08 degrees C, removal 2.39 degrees C, in situ 2.36 degrees C, and on/off 3.12 degrees C. The temperature rise for all cooling techniques was significantly lower than that of the control. No significant differences were found between the three cooling techniques.

Preservation of future options: restorative procedures on first permanent molars in children.

Stainless steel crowns are indicted for permanent teeth for multiple reasons. Indirect or direct pulp capping, pulpotomies, apexification procedures, and root canal therapy are treatments for permanent teeth that make them potential candidates for stainless steel crowns as interim restorations. The transitional dentition is divided into two stages: between five and eight years; and the period between ages nine and thirteen. Mesiodistal dimensions of the first permanent molars can be measured on study casts before preparation for the steel crown has begun. A flow chart is provided to give practitioners available options. Steps for preparing the stainless steel crown and technique for porcelain onlay preparation are also given.

Marginal accuracy of indirect provisional restorations fabricated on poly(vinyl siloxane) models.

Indirect interim restorations have been traditionally fabricated on stone casts. Recently, flexible models fabricated from poly(vinyl siloxane) impression material have been suggested in place of stone casts. This study compared the marginal accuracy of indirect single-unit provisional restorations fabricated on stone casts with units made on poly(vinyl siloxane) impression material models. The mean marginal discrepancy of provisional restorations was compared for restorations fabricated from stone, low-viscosity poly(vinyl siloxane), and medium-viscosity poly(vinyl siloxane). Ten restorations were also fabricated directly on a master metal model (control). The mean marginal discrepancies were: control = 0.161 mm; stone model = 0.180 mm; low-viscosity poly(vinyl siloxane) = 0.245 mm; and medium-viscosity poly(vinyl siloxane) = 0.157 mm. The mean marginal discrepancy for the low-viscosity poly(vinyl siloxane) models was significantly higher than the other three groups. No significant difference was found between the control, stone cast, and medium-viscosity poly(vinyl siloxane) model groups.
