Success rate of short unitary implants installed in atrophic mandible: Integrative Review.

Introduction: In the rehabilitation of total edentulous patients, lack of bone availability in posterior maxillary regions is common due to pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and posterior mandible due to the presence of the lower alveolar nerve. And to rehabilitate this type of patient, one of them is the use of short implants. Methods: The work aims to evaluate the success rate of treatment of short implants through a literature review. The search was carried out in august 2020 in the Pubmed (MedLine), Scopus and Embase databases, using the keywords: extra short implants, short implants, survival rate, single implant, atrophic mandible. The keywords followed the AND or OR criteria previously elaborated by the PICO question. The inclu-sion criteria were: implants with a length of 4 to 8 mm, which were single and in the posterior region of atrophic mandible and which had 5 years of follow-up. Articles were excluded from the review where the implants were splinted, had a follow-up of less than 5 years and considered short implants larger than 8 mm. Results: After the search, 4 articles were separated, which totaled an n = 172 short implants obtaining a success rate of 93.47% in 5 years. After the search, 4 articles were separated, which totaled an n = 172 short implants obtaining a success rate of 93.47% in 5 years. Conclusion: We can conclude that the use of short implants, even in single prostheses, has a high success rate, which can provide the edentulous patient with little bone bioavailability for rehabilitation.

Evaluación del efecto de prensado en prótesis totales maxilares sobre la movilidad de los dientes artificiales, en función del tipo de inclusión / Evaluation of the effect of full denture pressing on the artificial teeth mobility, in function of two type of flasking

El presente trabajo evaluó el movimiento de los dientes artificiales en prótesis totales maxilares, sometidas a diversas presiones durante el prensado y el efecto de este en relación al material usado en la inclusión. Treinta y seis réplicas de prótesis totales previamente confeccionadas, fueran divididas en seis grupos: Los grupos G1,G2 y G3 fueron incluidos con yeso tipo III, a una presión de 800, 1.000 y 1.250 kgf respectivamente y los grupos S1, S2 y S3 fueron incluidos con una barrera de silicona y yeso, a una presión de 800, 1.000 y 1.250kgf, respectivamente. Las prótesis fueron medidas en puntos demarcados previamente en los segundos molares, premolares e incisivo central con el programa de computación gráfica (AutoCad 2000), después de cada etapa: encerado, polimerización y emuflado. La comparación entre estas dos fases permitió observar que: en los grupos (G1 y S1) donde se utilizó la menor presión (800 kgf) ocurrieron las mayores alteraciones en el posicionamiento de los dientes artificiales y que el grupo que mostró menores alteraciones fue cuando se utilizó 1.250 kgf de presión y la inclusión fue con yeso (AU)

The present study evaluated artificial teeth movement in complete dentures, submitted to different flasking loading and the effect of these loading pressures on the material used in the flasking procedure. Thirty-six dentures were fabricated and equally divided into six groups: Groups G1, G2 and G3 were processed with type III gypsum and 800, 1000 and 1250 kgf loading pressures, respectively, and groups S1, S2 and S3 were processed with silicone barrier and 800, 1000 and 1250 kgf loading pressures, respectively. In order to evaluate the artificial teeth movement, measurements were performed from previously determined points down in the second molars tips and in the second pre-molars cusps and in the central incisor. Those points were scanned (Scan Jet 6100C - Hewlett Packard) and then the measurements were performed and analyzed through the use of the AutoCad 2000 software, during the wax and the post-polymerization phases. The comparison between these two phases allowed the following observations: in groups (G1 and S1) where less loading pressure was used (800 kgf), the movements in the artificial teeth positions were the highest, and the group that presented the lowest changes was the one processed with type III gypsum and 1250 kgf loading pressure (AU)
