Full mouth rehabilitation cases are one of the most difficult cases to manage in dental practice. It is because such cases involve not only replacement of the lost tooth structure but also restoring the lost vertical dimensions. Full mouth reconstruction is basically a set of procedures that are aimed at correcting an improper bite position as well as restoring chipped or worn-out teeth. Improper jaw position is implicated in various neuro-muscular disorders. Correcting the jaw position not only restores proper function but also helps in enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the patient. Full...

Temporomandibular Disorder is a collective notion that embraces a multiple of clinical signs and symptoms involving the muscles of mastication, the temporomandibular joint and its associated structures, or both. Temporomandibular Disorders includes a cluster of related disorders viz masticatory muscle disorders, disc displacement disorders and inflammatory disorders of the TMJ that share many symptoms in common. Hence, it can be clearly demonstrated that Temporomandibular Disorders is not a single disease entity, but a chronology describing a group of related disorders involving the...

Tilted implants are a very good alternative for conventional implants because of its numerous advantages, such as immediate function and esthetics, reduced morbidity, high patient satisfaction, and relatively lower costs. These factors should be considered when assessing treatment options for an edentulous jaw for a long term results. The advantages of tilted implants are: (a) the use of longer implants, thereby increasing the contact (osseointegration) surface; (b) improved primary stability by anchoring in more than one cortical layer; (c) the avoidance of cantilever extremities by placing...

Au cours des dernières décennies, la dentisterie implantaire a considérablement progressé, en particulier pour le traitement des patients complètement édentés.Grâce au "concept sans greffe" d'aujourd'hui, les personnes édentées ou présentant une "dentition terminale" n'ont plus besoin de subir une greffe ou d'endurer de longues périodes d'attente avant de voir leur dentition reconstruite. Nombre de nos collègues traitent aujourd'hui leurs patients différemment de ce qu'ils ont toujours fait, car il est possible de retirer la dentition détériorée du patient, de poser des...

In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat die Implantologie erhebliche Fortschritte gemacht, insbesondere bei der Behandlung von Patienten, die völlig zahnlos sind.Mit dem heutigen "Graftless-Konzept" müssen sich zahnlose Patienten oder Patienten mit "terminalem Gebiss" nicht mehr einer Transplantation unterziehen oder lange Wartezeiten in Kauf nehmen, bevor ihr Gebiss wieder aufgebaut werden kann. Viele unserer Kollegen behandeln ihre Patienten heute anders als früher, weil sie die Möglichkeit haben, das zerstörte Gebiss des Patienten zu entfernen, Implantate zu setzen und einen festsitzenden,...
