Full Mouth Implant-supported Rehabilitation of a Patient with Ectodermal Dysplasia: Clinical Report and Literature Review.

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to present the clinical course of full mouth rehabilitation in an 1 8-year-old female patient with ectodermal dysplasia who was treated with implant-supported fixed partial dentures for the mandible and the maxilla.

Anterior segmental distraction for a Class III maxillary prosthetic defect in a cleft palate patient.

Reconstruction of a partially dentate skeletal Class III patient who has had repair of a bilateral cleft lip and palate can be challenging. In this article we present our results with a segmental maxillary distraction to esthetically restore the support of the upper lip and functionally reconstruct the anterior maxillary dentition with implants. Prosthetic considerations were critical to determine the vector of distraction to achieve ideal results.

Implant rehabilitation for a patient with Hallerman-Streiff syndrome: a case report.

The syndrome has many implications for dental treatment. Patients typically present with multiple missing and poorly formed teeth.

Maxillary obturator: a clinical case report.

The most frequent openings of the maxilla result from cleft palates or tumors that require either partial or total surgical removal of the palate. Intraoral defects in the maxilla can cause an opening into the nasopharynx complex. Cleft palates or surgically removed tumors can have a devastating effect on a patient's appearance and speech.

Urgent denture repair in a medically compromised patient.

Dental practices will see an increasing number of older patients as our population ages over the next decade. The following article describes a denture repair in a patient with Parkinson's disease. The patient and his caregiver were unable to make multiple trips to the clinic for treatment.
