Zirconia in fixed prosthesis. A literature review
2014
Statement of problem: Evidence is limited on the efficacy of zirconia-based fixed dental prostheses. Objective: To carry out a literature review of the behavior of zirconium oxide dental restorations. Material and Methods: This literature review searched the Pubmed, Scopus, Medline and Cochrane Library databases using key search words “zirconium oxide,” “zirconia,” “non-metal restorations,” “ceramic oxides,” “veneering ceramic,” “zirconia-based fixed dental prostheses”. Both in vivo and in vitro studies into zirconia-based prosthodontic restoration behavior were included. Results: Clinical studies have revealed a high rate of fracture for porcelain-veneered zirconia-based restorations that …
Rehabilitation of the atrophic posterior maxilla with pterygoid implants: a review.
2012
The purpose of this article is to review the literature published and to assess the success of treatment of patients with atrophic posterior maxilla with pterygoid implants. Studies from 1992 to 2009 on patients with atrophic posterior maxilla rehabilitated with pterygoid implants were reviewed. Those reporting clinical series of at least 5 patients with atrophic posterior maxilla (Class IV and V of Cawood and Howell), rehabilitated with pterygoid implants and fixed prosthesis, and with 12 months minimum follow-up were included. In each study the following were assessed: number of patients, number of implants, surgical technique, prosthetic rehabilitation, success rate, bone loss, complica…
Rehabilitation with implant-supported overdentures in total edentulous patients: a review
2013
Objectives: The main aim of this review article is to discuss implant-supported overdentures (ISOs) as treatment in edentulous patients. Besides, we will try to discuss among the different treatment options in such patients and to analyze their validity when ISOs are compared with other clinical modalities. At the same time, we will try to suggest clinical guidelines supported by current clinical studies. Material and methods: We performed a Medline search and review of pertinent articles on the mentioned subject from 1986 to 2011. As a searching strategy, we used the following words: implant-supported overdentures, attachment systems, Locator attachment, cantilever, fixed prosthesis. Resul…
Vertical preparation for fixed prosthesis rehabilitation in the anterior sector
2015
This clinical report describes a biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) for teeth and an implant for the esthetic rehabilitation of the maxillary anterior sector. The technique was designed to create an anatomic crown with a prosthetic emergence profile that simulated the shape of the natural tooth.
Remplacement total de l’articulation temporo-mandibulaire par prothèse
2013
Summary Introduction The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) may be the location for tumoral, post-traumatic, degenerative, inflammatory, or congenital diseases requiring a prosthetic replacement. We present a technical note for total TMJ replacement with a Biomet ® Microfixation prosthesis (Jacksonville, FL, USA). Technical note The preoperative data includes dental panoramic X-ray, MRI of the TMJ, and CT-scan (or cone beam) of the facial skeleton. The last two mentioned examinations allow three-dimensional reconstructions and stereo-lithographic models required for surgical planning. The prosthetic device includes a temporal ultra-high density polyethylene component and a mandibular chrome-coba…
Sociodemographic Determinants for the Health-Related Quality of Life of Patients with Vascular Amputations as Determined with the Prosthesis Evaluati…
2020
Background: To identify the sociodemographic variables independently related to the different dimensions of the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ). Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted, with a sample of 61 Spanish vascular amputees (Valencia, Spain). Included in this study are the results of the PEQ and explanatory-sociodemographic variables, as well as a descriptive and analytic analysis. Results: Gender differences were observed in &ldquo

Antithrombotische Therapie bei peripherer arterieller Verschlusskrankheit
2018
Was ist neu? Antithrombotische Therapie bei stabiler PAVK Die aktuellen deutschen und europäischen Leitlinien empfehlen bei Patienten mit einer peripheren arteriellen Verschlusskrankheit (PAVK) die Monotherapie mit einem Thrombozytenaggregationshemmer (ASS 100 mg oder Clopidogrel 75 mg).In der COMPASS (Cardiovascular OutcoMes for People using Anticoagulation StrategieS) -Studie wurde Patienten mit PAVK 2 × 2,5 mg Rivaroxaban zusätzlich zu ASS 100 mg gegeben. Dies führte zur signifikanten Reduktion kardiovaskulärer Ereignisse (MACE = Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events) wie kardiovaskulärer Tod, Myokardinfarkt und Schlaganfall. Ebenfalls signifikant reduziert wurden periphere Ereignisse (MAL…
Résultats fonctionnels après reconstruction de l’articulation temporo-mandibulaire par prothèse totale (2e partie)
2014
Resume Introduction Les pathologies de l’articulation temporo-mandibulaire (ATM) sont habituellement traitees medicalement. La gravite de l’atteinte et le retentissement fonctionnel peuvent justifier une reconstruction partielle ou totale. Nous avons evalue nos resultats apres reconstruction de l’ATM par prothese totale Biomet Microfixation® (Jacksonville, FL, Etats-Unis). Patients et methode Nous avons revu les dossiers des patients reconstruits entre 2009 et 2012 par une prothese totale d’ATM. L’ouverture buccale initiale et postoperatoire, l’occlusion dentaire initiale et postoperatoire, l’intensite des douleurs pre- et postoperatoire sur une echelle verbale simplifiee allant de 0 (absen…
Ergebnisse nach Implantation von zementfreien metallspongiösen Hüftprothesen
1994
72 Huftgelenke mit zementfreier metallspongioser Huftprothese wurden zwei bis sieben Jahre (mittlere Nachuntersuchungszeit 43 Monate) nach der Implantation klinisch und rontgenologisch kontrolliert. Bei funf Patienten muste die zementfreie Prothese wegen Lockerung (ausbleibende knocherne Einheilung n=2, Pfannenlockerung infolge operationstechnischer Fehler n=3) gewechselt werden. Aufgrund der klinischen Befunde konnten 88% von 67 Huften mit sehr gut bzw. gut, 9% mit befriedigend und 3% mit unbefriedigend bewertet werden. 10% der Patienten klagten noch uber Oberschenkelschmerzen. Die typischen, rontgenologisch erkennbaren, knochernen Reaktionen des Implantatlagers werden beschrieben, eine In…
