Computer-aided prosthetic rehabilitation of a resected maxilla after mucormycosis using a quad zygomatic implant protocol with digital planning.

The rehabilitation of patient function and esthetics is essential from a social and psychological point of view. After a maxillary resection, the supporting structures that help provide retention or stability to a removable prosthesis are lacking. An effective, functional, straightforward, comfortable, and esthetic prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with a resected maxilla using a digital workflow is presented.

Assessing the Color Stability of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Dental Restorations Polished With a Novel Polishing Agent Derived From Pulverized Old Alginate Impressions.

Introduction:  Interim restorations are essential in restorative dentistry, serving as temporary solutions until permanent restorations can be placed. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a promising solution for customizing teeth for removable dentures to match the exact requirements of patients. The color stability of these restorations is critical for patient satisfaction.

Multifaceted Enhancement of L-Leucine-Enriched Ovine Bone Graft: Physicochemical Characteristics and Osteogenic Potential for Improved Guided Bone Regeneration.

Introduction Small compounds like L-leucine can boost bone regrowth by blocking certain effects, sparking cell reactions through signaling sequences. This research explored how combining L-leucine with hyaluronic acid on the developed novel graft material affects the bone's ability to conduct bone-building processes. Material and methods This study was designed as an in-vitro experiment, where a novel bone graft was formulated by integrating L-leucine with hyaluronic acid and incorporated into a hydroxyapatite-based ovine bone graft material.

Evaluation of the Long-Term Success and Patient-Related Outcomes of Zygomatic Implants in Atrophic Maxillary Ridges.

Introduction Zygomatic implants (ZIs) have emerged as a promising option for rehabilitating completely edentulous patients with severe maxillary atrophy. These implants anchor into the zygomatic bone, bypassing the need for extensive grafting procedures. Success rates in dental and craniofacial implant surgeries can be influenced by several surgical factors, including suture techniques, flap design, and treatment planning.

Evaluation of Surface Roughness of Acrylic Denture Bases Polished Using Algishine, a Novel Polishing Material: An In Vitro Study.

Introduction Surface roughness (Ra) significantly impacts the aesthetic and functional qualities of dental prosthetics. Traditional polishing involves pumice, a material routinely used in dental practice. This study introduces Algishine as a potential cost-effective eco-friendly alternative.
