Use of bar-clip attachments to enhance the retention of a maxillofacial prosthetic obturator: a clinical report.

Precision attachments are commonly used in prosthetic dentistry but are still questioned in maxillofacial prosthetics. The aesthetic enhancement and functional rigidity provided by attachments are favourable features to many challenging clinical situations such as class-III defect (Aramany's maxillectomy classification). Surgical reconstruction is the standard treatment for this type of defect repair. However, owing to the need for dental rehabilitation and patient reserve, prosthetic rehabilitation was the modality chosen in this clinical case. The use of bar attachments is described in this paper as providing increased stability and retention of the prosthesis, and improved obturator water and airtightness.

[Control studies on periodontal and periodontal-gingival retention of partial prosthesis].

Follow-ups of 722 removable partial dentures that have been used for an average 5.2 years reveal that the way they were used and the type of balancing as well as the construction of the denture have an influence on the inflammation of the denture-bearing area and the loosening of the abutment teeth. In this investigation it was not possible to demonstrate the influence of daily personal oral hygience.

Total knee arthroplasty with a mobile-bearing prosthesis: comparison of retention and sacrifice of the posterior cruciate ligament in cementless implants.

We compared patient outcome after total knee arthroplasties with two types of low-contact-stress (LCS) cementless implants: a meniscal-bearing implant that retained the posterior cruciate ligament (n = 147), and a rotating-platform implant requiring sacrifice of this ligament (n = 44). The minimum follow-up was 5 years (mean, 68.5 months). Pain was occasional or nonexistent at follow-up in 94.6% of patients with meniscal-bearing implants and 93.2% of patients with rotating-platform implants. The mean total range of motion was 120 degrees for patients with meniscal-bearing implants and 108 degrees for those with rotating-platform implants (P < 0.001). Mean total scores on the New Jersey Orthopaedic Hospital Knee Scale were 93.2 for meniscal bearings and 87.6 for rotating platforms (P < .001). Patellar complications, including two fractures, were seen in 1.0% of cases. Five meniscal-bearing and no rotating-platform implants have been revised. The 7-year overall survival rate was 97.5% for meniscal bearings and 100% for rotating platforms.
