Oral rehabilitation with implant-based prostheses of two adult patients treated for childhood rhabdomyosarcoma.

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common malignant tumor in the nasal and paranasal sinus area at childhood. Multimodal treatment for this disorder has severe side effects due to normal tissue damage. As a result of this treatment, facial growth retardation and oral abnormalities such as malformation of teeth and microstomia can cause esthetic and functional problems.

Addressing the atrophied mandible: a proposal for a treatment approach involving endosseous implants.

Purpose: Since the introduction of endosseous dental implants, the treatment concepts for management of the edentulous mandible have changed drastically. Reconstructive, preprosthetic surgery has changed from surgery aimed to provide a sufficient osseous and mucosal support for a conventional denture into surgery aimed to provide a sufficient bone volume enabling placement of dental implants at the, from a prosthetic point of view, optimal position. Moreover, the currently applied implant based prosthodontic concepts for the edentulous mandible are based on prospective randomized clinical trials comparing the treatment outcome of a variety of treatment modalities.

Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed during a 1-year follow-up period to assess hard and soft tissue changes.

Trauma to an implant-supported crown that was saved by the fixation screw: a case report.

A traumatic impact to an implant-supported crown might damage the implant, restoration and peri-implant tissues. Ideally, only a small prosthetic retreatment is needed for restoration, as complicated prosthetic retreatments or surgical retreatments in particular, could be very inconvenient for the patient. However, there is a deficiency in literature on how the implant, restoration and surrounding tissues generally react to impact forces.

Treatment outcome and patient satisfaction with two adjacent implant-supported restorations in the esthetic zone.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic parameters as well as the esthetic outcome of two adjacent implant-supported restorations and the surrounding peri-implant mucosa in the maxillary esthetic zone. Ten patients were treated with two adjacent implants in the anterior maxillary zone according to the same protocol. Only patients who had been subjected to a separate previous augmentation procedure with autogenous bone were included in this study.

Immediate loading and customized restoration of a single implant in the maxillary esthetic zone: a clinical report.
