A Partial Palatal Coverage Overdenture Retained by Zygomatic Implants.

Prosthodontic rehabilitation of an atrophic edentulous maxilla can be challenging and is further complicated when multiple risk factors are present. Fixed prostheses require multiple implants for support/retention organized in biomechanically favorable positions in order to afford a good prognosis. Such suitable implant arrangements in an atrophic edentulous ridge can often be difficult to achieve.

A technique for retrieval of cement-retained implant-supported prostheses.

Predictable retrievability of cement-retained prostheses has been a clinical concern. This article presents a technique that describes an implant restoration design which will allow predictable removal of cement-retained implant-supported prostheses.

A digital radiographic artifact: A clinical report.

Digital dental radiographic imaging is considered to be as diagnostically accurate as conventional film-based radiography. In addition, many digital radiographic systems offer various image enhancements that may aid in image interpretation. However, neither type of radiographic imaging technique perfectly correlates radiographic diagnoses with clinical findings.

Comparison of bond strength of a pressed ceramic fused to metal versus feldspathic porcelain fused to metal.

Purpose: To compare the debonding/crack initiation strength (D/CIS) of a low-fusing pressable leucite-based glass ceramic (PC) fused to metal to a feldspathic porcelain (FP) fused to metal.

Materials & Methods: As per ISO 9693:1999, 40 rectangular metal specimens (25.0 mm x 0.
