Aim: To describe a bimaxillary simultaneous immediate loading protocol with full-arch implant-supported fixed prostheses.
Material And Methods: A prospective case series of 8 patients who required full-arch rehabilitation was conducted. The main inclusion criteria were patients with teeth that required extraction. At least 1 molar per arch was temporarily employed to stabilize the surgical template and the provisional prosthesis during intraoral relining.
Results: Two upper implants failed in 1 patient. Structural fracture was registered in 3 patients, around 3 months after loading. All of them had bruxism. Three esthetic complications were registered: midline deviation, canting of the oclusal plane and color mismatch.
Conclusions: Although this protocol achieves optimal results, some mechanical complications were encountered. The fracture of the provisional prosthesis is a relatively common mechanical complication but does not seem to jeopardize the final treatment result. Implant-supported full-arch, provisional prosthesis fracture, bimaxillary simultaneous rehabilitation, conical abutments.

Article Synopsis
- Premolar extraction is an effective treatment for patients with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion, particularly when using clear aligners (CAs) which close extraction spaces but can cause unwanted tooth movements, especially in cases where 2nd premolars are removed.
- This study analyzed two models of bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion to understand the effects of extracting either the 1st or 2nd premolars on tooth tipping and anchorage loss using finite element analysis.
- Results indicated that extracting 1st premolars resulted in more significant changes in tooth angulation and a greater tendency for distal tipping compared to 2nd premolars, with the maxillary arch showing more mesial tipping

Background: Orthodontic and surgical technical advances in recent years have resulted in treatment opportunities for a whole range of craniofacial skeletal disorders either in the adolescent or adult patient. In the growing child, these can include myofunctional orthodontic appliance therapy or distraction osteogenesis procedures, while in the adult, the mainstay approach revolves around orthognathic surgery. The literature agrees that for a change in craniofacial morphology to remain stable, the muscles acting upon the facial skeleton must be capable of adaptation in their structure and, therefore, their function.

Subperiosteal implants (SPIs) using rigid fixation have recently emerged as an acceptable alternative to conventional endosteal implants when there is limited or absent alveolar bone. Modern advances in digital technology and manufacturing have improved the usability and stability of this latest generation of SPIs. Herein, we present the first reported case of a modern patient-specific SPI placed in the United States and, to the authors' knowledge, the first reported case performed in conjunction with a simultaneous free flap reconstruction of the opposing arch, and immediate dental rehabilitation of both arches in the world.

Objectives: This article describes the many anomalies within and outside the head and neck of hemifacial microsomia (HFM).
Methods: The OMENS+ classification system is described with particular reference to the mandibular features classified by Pruzansky and modified by Kaban. The application of virtual surgical planning (VSP) to HFM, largely in children, is described and taken through to aspects indicated in maturity.
