The initial treatment plan for implant dentistry is based on ideal implant size and diameter to optimize maximal aesthetics. When teeth are replaced with dental implants, the dentist should pre-select the ideal abutment size based on the ideal size for an aesthetic restoration. The size of an implant is determined primarily by the existing bone volume in height, width and length. Longer implants are selected in the anterior regions of the mouth and shorter ones in the posterior areas because of the limits of the mandibular canal and maxillary sinus. Dental implants transfer loads to...

The use of dental implants to provide support for the replacement of missing teeth is becoming an important component of modern dentistry. As a result of advances in research on implant design, materials, and techniques the use of these devices has increased dramatically in the past few years and is expected to expand further in the future. Many types of implants are now available for application to different clinical cases, and individuals with edentulism can be treated with partial or complete traditional removable dentures or fixed bridges. Patients who are partially or fully edentulous...

In the field of removable partial prosthodontics, more careful planning and consideration are necessary for a satisfactory result than in any other area of dentistry. The process of choosing the best prosthesis can occasionally be quite complicated due to the large range of combinations of missing and standing teeth, the various prosthodontic treatment options accessible, and the diversity of needs unique to each patient. Other types of detachable partial dentures may need to be taken into consideration in certain scenarios, but in most cases, the traditional extra coronal clasp held...

Il démontre que de nombreuses propriétés des matériaux utilisés en prothèse dentaire, telles que le module d'élasticité, la dureté de surface, le retrait de polymérisation et la charge de remplissage, peuvent être améliorées de manière significative après que leurs échelles ont été réduites de la taille du micron à la taille du nanomètre par la nanotechnologie, et que les performances des composites peuvent également être améliorées par l'ajout de nanomatériaux appropriés. La nanoscience est une nouvelle stratégie qui affectera la médecine, la dentisterie, la...

The goal of modern dentistry is to return patients to normal health in a predictable fashion. The partial and complete edentulous patient may be unable to recover normal function, esthetics, comfort or speech with a traditional removable prosthesis. The patient's function when wearing a denture may be reduced to one sixth of that level formerly experienced with natural dentition. However, an implant prosthesis may return the function to near normal limits.The goal of modern dentistry is to return patients to normal health in a predictable fashion. The partial and complete edentulous patient...

Dans le domaine de la prothèse partielle amovible, plus que dans tout autre domaine de la dentisterie, une planification et une réflexion minutieuses sont nécessaires pour obtenir un résultat satisfaisant. Le choix de la meilleure prothèse peut parfois s'avérer assez compliqué en raison du large éventail de combinaisons de dents manquantes et de dents en place, des diverses options de traitement prothétique accessibles et de la diversité des besoins propres à chaque patient. D'autres types de prothèses partielles amovibles peuvent être envisagés dans certains cas, mais dans la...

Nanomaterials have played an important role in basic scientific innovation as well as clinical technical development in prosthodontics.It demonstrates that many properties of materials used in prosthodontics, such as modulus of elasticity, surface hardness, polymerization shrinkage, and filler loading, can be significantly improved after their scales were reduced from micron-size to nanosize by nanotechnology, and that the performances of composites can also be enhanced by adding appropriate nanomaterials. Nanoscience is a novel strategy that will affect medicine, dentistry, research, and...

Auf dem Gebiet der herausnehmbaren Teilprothetik ist für ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis eine sorgfältigere Planung und Überlegung erforderlich als in jedem anderen Bereich der Zahnmedizin. Der Prozess der Auswahl der besten Prothese kann gelegentlich recht kompliziert sein, da es eine große Bandbreite an Kombinationen von fehlenden und stehenden Zähnen gibt, verschiedene prothetische Behandlungsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung stehen und die Bedürfnisse jedes einzelnen Patienten sehr unterschiedlich sind. In bestimmten Fällen müssen andere Arten von herausnehmbaren Teilprothesen in...

The great emphasis on youth, beauty, and virility in our contemporary society makes it increasingly difficult to age in place. These are frustrating years, not least for elderly individuals. They acknowledge that many of their ideas, ambitions, goals, and hopes will never come true and that they have passed their prime in terms of productivity. It is regrettable that the majority of essential dental and medical services are typically required for elderly patients at a time when they are least able to endure and pay for them. Due to the psychological aspects that are usually involved, the...
