The Clinical Significance of Immediate Mandibular Lateral Translation: Critically Appraised Topic (CAT).

Purpose: The purpose of this Critically Appraised Topic was to investigate the possible clinical relevance of recording the immediate mandibular lateral translation.

Materials And Methods: A literature search limited to Clinical trials, Randomized Controlled Trials, Systematic Reviews, Meta Analyses, and using the PICO headings revealed no citations. Using the key words dental, occlusion, immediate side shift, also received no citations.

Precision attachments for the 21st century.

Unlabelled: This paper outlines the evolution of precision attachment applications from partial denture retention to the implant-retained overdenture.

Clinical Relevance: Understanding precision attachments in the osseointegration era is essential to obtain optimal treatment outcomes with the new therapeutic methods available.

Cement- and screw-retained implant-supported prostheses: up to 10 years of follow-up of a new design.

Purpose: This retrospective study investigated treatment outcomes over 10 years of a new prosthesis design in implant prosthodontics that uses a combined cement- and screw-retained principle.

Materials And Methods: The clinical data of 78 implant-supported prostheses were examined. Each prosthesis incorporated at least 1 screw-retained element and 1 or more cement-retained telescopic units.
