Mobility, Aesthetic, Implants, and Satisfaction of the Ocular Prostheses Wearers
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2010-01-01)
During the process of facial rehabilitation, the mobility of ocular prostheses must be considered. Whereas some factors depend exclusively on the dentist, such as molding techniques and selection of material for denture ...
Removable Partial Denture in Combination with a Milled Fixed Partial Prosthesis as Interim Restorations in Long-Term Treatment
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-01-01)
Interim restorations are frequently used in prosthodontic treatments. Many complex situations require the combination of fixed and removable partial prostheses. An appropriate interim restoration design that accurately ...
Most Frequent Tumors in Maxillofacial Area Rehabilitated Through Surgical Reconstruction and Prostheses
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2010-03-01)
Cancer is regarded as the abnormal cellular multiplication; it is not controlled by the organism; and its cells present a differentiated DNA. Initially, the disease does not show clinical signs, but it can be diagnosed by ...
Photoelastic Analysis of Biomechanical Behavior of Single and Multiple Fixed Partial Prostheses With Different Prosthetic Connections
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011-11-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution on external hexagon, internal hexagon, and Morse taper implant in single and 3-unit implant-supported fixed partial prostheses (FPPs) using photoelasticity. Six ...
Photoelastic Stress Analysis of Different Attachment Systems on Implant-Retained and Conventional Palatal Obturator Prostheses
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011-03-01)
Background: Considering that an increasing number of patients are victims of mutilator surgical resections, these studies are important for treatment success of rehabilitation of patients presenting oronasal communication.Purpose: ...
An alternate impression technique for ocular prostheses
(2013-06-01)
This article describes an alternative two-step ocular prosthesis impression technique that employs two materials of different consistencies. The method is intended to provide better adaptation to underlying tissues, increased ...
The use of transitional implants to support provisional prostheses during the healing phase: a literature review
(Quintessence Publishing Co Inc, 2011-01-01)
Objective: Transitional implants are indicated for cases in which immediate loading is counter-indicated because a healing period is necessary for osseointegration of the definitive implants. These provisional implants ...
Photoelastic Analysis of Cemented or Screwed Implant-Supported Prostheses With Different Prostheses Connections
(Allen Press Inc, 2011-08-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution of different retention systems (screwed or cemented) associated with different prosthetic connections (external hexagon, internal hexagon, and Morse taper) in ...
Photoelastic Analysis of Implant-Retained and Conventional Obturator Prostheses With Different Attachment Systems and Soft Relining
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011-05-01)
Complete and partial loss of maxillary bone may jeopardize oral physiology and generate complications as oral-sinus-nasal communication. Palatal obturator prostheses are a treatment alternative for rehabilitation of these ...
