Oral or Dental Implants have opened the door to the 21st century in dentistry and oral rehabilitation. They have increased the treatment possibilities for patients and improved the functional results of their treatment. Patients who had to compromise their esthetic appearance, chewing functionality and nutritional intake due to complete or partial tooth loss can now be restored back to various degrees of normal esthetics and functions.

Complete dentures improve the quality of life and restore function in edentulous patients2 Denture insertion represents the culmination of a series of carefully considered and lacking procedures on the part of the doctor. It is also the moment largely awaited by the patient who has co-operated in both time and efforts toward this event. Well-made dentures enable the patient to have comfort, adequate function and participation. These are the goals of denture insertion that are usually obtained, indicating a satisfying experience to both doctor and patient, amply repaying the skill and training...

This book describes in detail about 3D printing especially prosthodontics with a note on the types and its dental applications. The most common application is to create working models for diagnosis and surgery, followed by a variety of implantable devices, which can help dentists provide patients with more predictable, less invasive, and less costly procedures. Three-dimensional printing transforms 3D manufacturing into simple 2D superposition, which greatly reduces the complexity of design and manufacturing.

Temporomandibular joint is a complex joint comprising of the temporal bone, condyle and articular disc. Temporomandibular joint dysfunctions are conditions affecting the jaw joints and surrounding muscles and ligaments . These dysfunctions cause difficulty in mouth opening, clicking sounds, headaches, muscle and ear pain as well. This book elaborates on the anatomy, etiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and management of TMDs.

L'articulation temporo-mandibulaire est une articulation complexe composée de l'os temporal, du condyle et du disque articulaire. Les dysfonctionnements de l'articulation temporo-mandibulaire sont des affections qui touchent les articulations de la mâchoire et les muscles et ligaments environnants. Ces dysfonctionnements entraînent des difficultés à ouvrir la bouche, des cliquetis, des maux de tête, des douleurs musculaires et auriculaires. Cet ouvrage traite de l'anatomie, de l'étiologie, des signes et symptômes, du diagnostic et de la prise en charge des troubles de l'articulation...

Das Kiefergelenk ist ein komplexes Gelenk, das aus dem Schläfenbein, dem Kondylus und der Gelenkscheibe besteht. Funktionsstörungen des Kiefergelenks sind Erkrankungen, die die Kiefergelenke und die sie umgebenden Muskeln und Bänder betreffen. Diese Funktionsstörungen verursachen Schwierigkeiten bei der Mundöffnung, Knackgeräusche, Kopfschmerzen, Muskel- und Ohrenschmerzen. In diesem Buch werden die Anatomie, die Ätiologie, die Anzeichen und Symptome, die Diagnose und die Behandlung von TMD erläutert.

The introduction of endosseous dental implants as an option for restoring partially and fully edentulous patients has revolutionized dental treatment. High survival rates reported for single and multiple missing tooth replacements have validated the use of implant-supported restorations as a predictable method for oral rehabilitation.Implants enable a single missing tooth to be replaced without restoring adjacent teeth. In addition, implants allow fixed restorations to be fabricated in patients who are fully or partially edentulous.There are several reasons for the increased number of implant...
