A time-saving method for transferring occlusal vertical dimension and centric relation of complete denture to a full arch implant prosthesis.

Aim: This clinical report describes a time-saving recording procedure for implant prosthesis.

Background: In implant prosthodontics, a few procedures have been suggested to record jaw relationships. Record bases with occlusion rims supported by healing abutments, or screw retained bases are the conventional methods used for mounting definitive implant casts in the articulator.

Characteristics of anatomical landmarks in the mandibular interforaminal region: a cone-beam computed tomography study.

Objectives: This study was conducted to assess appearance, visibility, location and course of anatomical landmarks in mandibular interforaminal region using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Study Design: A total of 96 CBCT examinations was re-evaluated to exploit anatomical landmarks. The examinations used the Promax 3D CBCT unit.

Tomographic volume evaluation of submandibular fossa in patients requiring dental implants.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate submandibular fossa volume from multislice CT scans of patients requiring endosseous implants.

Study Design: One hundred spiral computed tomographic (CT) preoperative examinations of patients requiring assessment the lower jaw before implant placement were retrospectively evaluated to determine anatomical variations in bone morphology in the submandibular fossa region. Reformatted cross-sectional images tangential to the mandibular dental arch and distal to the mental foramen border were selected.

Pattern of occlusal contacts in eccentric mandibular positions in dental students.

Background And Aims: This study observed occlusal contacts and their area on the teeth during lateral mandibular movements. The percentage of each occlusal pattern was determined.

Materials And Methods: FIFTY SUBJECTS (MALE: 27, female: 23), aged 20-29 years, were included in the study.
