Lithium disilicate occlusal surfaces on acrylic resin denture teeth in a mandibular implant-retained overdenture opposed by a maxillary removable complete denture: A clinical report.

Decreased masticatory efficiency, loss of vertical dimension of occlusion, and loss of maxillomandibular relationships are common in relation to the wear experienced by the artificial teeth in removable complete dentures and implant-retained overdentures. To prevent early surface loss, the occlusal surfaces of acrylic resin denture teeth were replaced with adhesively luted lithium disilicate onlays in this patient's prostheses.

Reliability of the Intraoral Records for programming the Condylar Inclination of the Semiadjustable Articulator.

Aim And Objective: The purpose of the investigation was to determine the reliability of intraoral records for the programming of the condylar inclination of the semiadjustable articulator (SAA), performed by dentistry students at the Central University of Ecuador (UCE).

Materials And Methods: The concordance study was of an observational type and was carried out in sixth- and seventh-semester students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the UCE in the period 2019 to 2020. It was applied to a sample made up of 60 students: divided into G1 ( = 30), sixth-semester students and G2 ( = 30), seventh-semester students.

Restoration: Implant with Devastated Platform through Metal Post.

Implant prostheses are a successful treatment for replacing missing teeth. However, this treatment modality can have biological and mechanical complications causing serious problems for the dentist, as demonstrated in this clinical case. The patient presented with a fractured screw and a severely damaged implant hex connection that corresponded to the second premolar, upper left, stating that she unsuccessfully tried to remove the prosthetic screw, which was most likely to have been loose.

Anterior loop of the inferior alveolar nerve: Averages and prevalence based on CT scans.

Statement Of Problem: The treatment of edentulous patients by using a complete implant-supported fixed prosthetic with distal extension has been widely studied; success is mainly dependent upon the placement of the distal implants. The location of the inferior alveolar nerve determines implant placement, but the length, prevalence, and symmetry between the left and right side of the anterior loop of the alveolar nerve are unknown.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to measure the anterior loop of the inferior alveolar nerve, which determines the placement of distal implants, in a group of 55 Mexican participants.
