Objective: This retrospective research was directed to investigate the longevity and maintenance requirements of implant-supported prostheses in subjects treated at a tertiary care center.

Methods: Patient records of individuals who received implant-supported prostheses between January 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic information, implant type, prosthetic design, and follow-up data were collected. The primary outcomes assessed were prosthetic survival rates and the incidence of complications requiring maintenance interventions. Statistical analysis was performed to identify associations between demographic and clinical variables and the observed outcomes.

Results: The research included 150 subjects with an average follow-up duration of 3 years. The overall survival rate of implant-supported prostheses was 90%, with 20% requiring maintenance interventions. Common complications included peri-implantitis (10%), prosthetic fracture (6%), and screw loosening (4%). Significant associations were found between smoking status and peri-implantitis ( < 0.05) and between prosthetic design and prosthetic fracture ( < 0.01).

Conclusion: Implant-supported prostheses demonstrated a high overall longevity rate, with a subset of subjects requiring maintenance interventions due to complications. Peri-implantitis, prosthetic fracture, and screw loosening were the most prevalent complications, emphasizing the importance of tailored patient care and risk stratification.

Aim: The aim is to evaluate and compare stress distribution characteristics of ball, magnet, and positioned attachment systems in single and double implant-retained overdentures using the finite element method (FEM).

Setting And Design: In vitro (in silico study) finite element analysis (FEA).

Materials And Methods: A Styrofoam mandible with duplicated silicon mucosa was used to construct a mandibular complete denture.

Background: The selection guideline for the implant-supported bar connectors (ISBC) of hybrid denture is lacking. This study investigated the maximum von Mises stress (vMS), stress distribution, and displacement of various geometric ISBC in mandibular hybrid dentures, as well as the maximum principal stress (σmax) in the acrylic resin part, through finite element analysis.

Methods: Four different geometric cross-sectional patterns for mandibular ISBC-L, Y, I, and Square-of equal volume, based on the "All-on-4" concept, were created.

Background: Determining the distal cantilever length in All-on-Four (All-on-4) implant-supported prostheses is a major factor in the long-term success of these prostheses. The difference in mechanical properties of materials used in the fabrication of these prostheses, such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK), may have an impact on the determination of the cantilever length that best distributes stress.

Aim: To study the distribution of stress in All-on-4 mandibular prostheses in the bone, implants, and framework according to difference cantilever length in PEEK prosthetic framework using three-dimensional finite element analysis.

Full-arch implant rehabilitation in extremely atrophic edentulous mandibles is still challenging due to the high risk of fracture and the limited bone availability. The approach proposes using short implants with immediate loading for final prostheses as a treatment option, which offers shorter treatment times and fewer invasive procedures. A 66-year-old female patient with an edentulous mandible and severe alveolar bone resorption was treated with four short implants in the interforaminal area.

Effectiveness of CAD-CAM Milled Versus DMLS Titanium Frameworks for Hybrid Denture Prosthesis: A Narrative Review.

J Funct Biomater

Department of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Majmaah University, Al Majmaah 11952, Saudi Arabia.

This narrative review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) milled, and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) titanium frameworks in hybrid denture prostheses. A structured PICO analysis and a review of ten publications were used to compare titanium frameworks for hybrid dentures made through milling, DMLS, and CAD-CAM milling. Prosthesis success, bone loss, patient satisfaction, framework fit, and biofilm adhesion were among the outcome indicators.
