AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on rehabilitating maxillary single denture cases using two types of implant-retained attachments: telescopic and ball-and-socket, to see which provided better patient satisfaction.
- It involved 18 completely edentulous patients aged 45-60, where each received a maxillary single denture with different attachment systems, and their satisfaction was assessed immediately after and three months later.
- Results indicated that patients with telescopic attachments reported greater improvements in comfort, chewing, and overall satisfaction, while those with ball-and-socket attachments only noted better appearance, highlighting the advantages of telescopic systems.
Article Abstract
Background: The present study was performed to rehabilitate maxillary single denture cases with implantretained telescopic or ball-and-socket attachments, and to evaluate the validity of two-implantretained maxillary overdentures as a treatment approach in the maxillary arch.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate patient satisfaction in maxillary single denture wearers with 2 different attachment systems (telescopic attachment vs. ball-and-socket attachment).
Material And Methods: A total of 18 completely edentulous maxillary ridge patients (45-60 years old; mean age: 53 years) were selected for this study. Maxillary single dentures were constructed for all the patients. Group 1 patients received 2 implants with a telescopic attachment and group 2 patients received 2 implants with a ball-and-socket attachment. Patient satisfaction with the implant-retained maxillary single denture was evaluated after insertion, and 3 months after the delivery of each implant-retained maxillary single overdenture.
Results: All 18 patients completed the study. After 3 months, the telescopic group showed significant improvement in terms of comfort, chewing, handling, and overall satisfaction, and in the ball-and-socket group, significant improvement was recorded for appearance only. When comparing the 2 groups, after insertion, group 1 showed significantly better results for the 'handling' and 'hygiene' parameters, whereas group 2 showed a significantly better mean score for the 'appearance' parameter. After 3 months, group 1 showed significantly better results for the 'comfort', 'handling', 'hygiene', and 'overall satisfaction' parameters, and group 1 proved significantly better in terms of 'appearance' and 'speech' parameters.
Conclusions: Maxillary single dentures with a telescopic attachment showed an advantage over those with a ball-and-socket attachment regarding patient satisfaction. Concerning the implant number, twoimplantretained maxillary overdentures can be considered a promising approach for patients from developing countries.

Introduction: The dynamic navigation system (DNS) in endodontics presents a significant learning curve. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the number of cases required to achieve consistent performance in DNS-assisted treatment of maxillary anterior teeth with pulp canal calcification.
Methods: A series of DNS procedures were performed on 45 calcified maxillary anterior teeth with pulp necrosis by a single endodontist who had no prior clinical DNS experience.

Background: Definitive chemoradiation is the primary treatment for locally advanced head and neck carcinoma (LAHNSCC). Optimising outcome predictions requires validated biomarkers, since TNM8 and HPV could have limitations. Radiomics may enhance risk stratification.

Objective: This double-blinded randomized clinical trial aimed to compare postoperative pain using 2Shape® (TS) in rotary (TSRot) and adaptive (TSAK) kinematics in the maxillary and mandibular molars in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis following single-visit endodontic treatment.
Methods: Seventy patients were randomly assigned to two groups (TSRot /TSAK), (n=35 each). The preoperative and postoperative pain intensities at various time intervals up to 72h using a Visual-Analogue Scale was noted.

Statement Of Problem: Duplicating complete dentures and achieving accurately fitting prostheses poses a challenge. Conventional methods are often time-consuming and susceptible to human error. Advancements in digital technology for denture fabrication offer a promising alternative to conventional duplication techniques, but studies comparing the methods are lacking.
