Survival rates, patient satisfaction, and prosthetic complications of implant fixed complete dental prostheses: a 12-month prospective study.

Purpose: To determine the survival rate, incidence of prosthetic complications, and patient satisfaction of implant fixed complete dental prostheses (IFCDPs) after a mean observation period of 1.4 years.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight (28) eligible participants were recruited according to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Prosthesis Survival Rates and Prosthetic Complications of Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses in Partially Edentulous Patients.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence and distribution of prosthetic complications affecting implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (ISFDPs).

Materials And Methods: Subjects previously treated with one or more ISFDP(s) were identified from an electronic health record search and recalled for comprehensive clinical examination. Past prosthesis failures and complications were identified from the patient records while any existing complications, not previously recorded, were assessed during examination.

Peri-Implant Diseases and Biologic Complications at Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses in Partially Edentulous Patients.

Purpose: This is a single center, retrospective study to assess the prevalence of peri-implant disease and biologic complications in a cohort of partially edentulous subjects in relation to selected prosthetic factors.

Materials And Methods: Subjects previously treated with one or more implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (ISFDPs) were recalled for a comprehensive examination. Clinical and radiographic records were taken and questionnaires were administered.

Comprehensive digital approach with the Digital Smile System: A clinical report.

This clinical report describes a comprehensive digital approach with the Digital Smile System (DSS) and its clinical use in the prosthetic treatment of a patient for whom 6 anterior maxillary porcelain veneers were fabricated. Following this digital protocol, extraoral facial images and a diagnostic intraoral digital scan were obtained. Digital smile analysis, virtual diagnostic waxing, and milled trial restorations were made in the diagnostic phase.

An alternative impression technique for mobile teeth.

The impression technique described combines elastomeric impression materials and irreversible hydrocolloid to make an accurate preliminary impression of extremely mobile and misaligned teeth. Upon setting, the materials are removed from the mouth in 3 different directions and reassembled extraorally. This technique provides an alternative, easy, accurate, and safe way to make a preliminary impression of mobile, periodontally involved teeth.
