Utility of measuring anterior-posterior spread to determine distal cantilever length off a fixed implant-supported full-arch prosthesis: A review of the literature.

Background: Historically, anterior-posterior (AP) spread assessments were often used to determine the length that a distal cantilever could be extended off an implant-supported fixed full-arch prosthesis.

Types Of Studies Reviewed: The authors searched the literature for articles that used AP spread to calculate cantilever size to be constructed off implants bearing a fixed implant-supported full-arch rehabilitation.

Results: The data indicate that the relationship between AP spread and cantilever length is not linear and many influences (such as beam theory, cantilever size differences in the mandible versus maxilla, number and distribution of placed implants, prosthetic materials, and framework design) need to be considered when computing cantilever length with respect to fixed implant-supported prostheses.

Two Bilateral Zygomatic Implants Placed and Immediately Loaded: A Retrospective Chart Review with Up-to-54-Month Follow-up.

Purpose: To report on the outcome of placement of two bilateral zygomatic implants with an immediately loaded prosthesis.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of all patients treated with zygomatic implants between August 1, 2011 and June 6, 2016. All patients had at least two zygomatic implants placed bilaterally and immediately loaded with a provisional prosthesis the same day of implant placement.

Immediate loading of zygomatic implants: A systematic review of implant survival, prosthesis survival and potential complications.

Statement Of Problem: Zygomatic implants have been utilised for the treatment of the severely atrophic maxilla since 1998. However, few articles exist as to the success of zygomatic implants and immediate loading of its prosthesis.

Aim: To systematically review the outcome of immediate loaded zygomatic implants.

Prevalence and correlates of oral human papillomavirus infection among healthy males and females in Lima, Peru.

Purpose: The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV) associated head and neck cancers (HNCs) have been increasing in Peru. However, the burden of oral HPV infection in Peru has not been assessed. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the prevalence and correlates of oral HPV infection in a population-based sample from males and females from Lima, Peru.

Trends in head and neck cancers in Peru between 1987 and 2008: Experience from a large public cancer hospital in Lima.

Background: Few studies have evaluated the trends in head and neck cancer in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to estimate trends in incidence of human papillomavirus-related (HPV-R) and HPV-unrelated (HPV-U) head and neck cancer in Lima, Peru, from 1987 to 2008.

Methods: Registry data from a single public cancer hospital were used to estimate age and sex-specific incidence rates.
