(2009-10-01)
Hand deformities affect aesthetics function of hand severely compromised and also cause psychological disturbances. This report describes the fabrication of a silicone finger prosthesis for a patient after an accident at ...
Visual evaluation of color stability after accelerated aging of pigmented and nonpigmented silicones to be used in facial prostheses
(2009-01-01)
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate by a visual method of comparison the color stability of nonpigmented and pigmented facial silicones after accelerated aging. Materials and Methods: Two kinds of ...
Retention and processing methods of nasal prosthesis
(2012-11-01)
Patients with congenital malformations, traumatic or pathological mutilation and maxillofacial developmental disorders can be restored aesthetically and emotionally by the production and use of facial prostheses. The aim ...
Color stability after accelerated aging of two silicones, pigmented or not, for use in facial prostheses
(2009-12-08)
One of the greatest challenges faced by buccomaxillofacial prosthetists is to reproduce the patient's exact skin color and provide adequate esthetics. To reach this objective, professionals must use materials with easy ...
Effect of unilateral misfit on preload of retention screws of implant-supported prostheses submitted to mechanical cycling
(2011-01-01)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different levels of unilateral angular misfit on preload maintenance of retention screws of single implant-supported prostheses submitted to mechanical cycling. ...
Reestablishment of occlusion with prosthesis and composite resin restorations
(2009)
Here, we present a case report on prosthetic reconstruction of posterior teeth and composite resin restoration of anterior teeth yielding considerable esthetic improvement, reestablishment of disocclusion guides and function.
Changes in Lip Profile of Edentulous Patients After Placement of Maxillary Implant-Supported Fixed Prosthesis: Is a Wax Try-in a Reliable Diagnostic Tool?
(Quintessence Publishing Co Inc, 2017-05-01)
Purpose: A diagnostic wax try-in has been recommended to correctly design the future prosthesis for edentulous maxillae and to predict its effect on the supporting oral tissues. The objectives of this study were to analyze ...
