Implant-supported Oral Rehabilitation in Child with Ectodermal Dysplasia - 4-year Follow-up.

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is an anomaly determined by genetic factors that alter ectodermal structures such as skin, hair, nails, glands, and teeth. Children affected by this condition require extensive, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary treatment. An 8-year-old female patient visited the Dentistry Clinic of the Federal University of Santa Catarina with the chief complaint of multiple missing teeth. The mother reported that the patient had ED. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed the congenital absence of several primary and permanent teeth and tooth germs. Subsequent oral rehabilitation comprised the application of a maxillary denture and mandibular implant-supported fixed prosthesis. The child was also supplied with a wig for further enhancement of esthetics aimed at improving her emotional wellbeing. Psychological follow-up and speech therapy were also provided. After 4 years of follow-up, implant-supported oral rehabilitation has proved to be a satisfactory treatment option, allowing restoration of masticatory, phonetic, and esthetic function, as well as an improvement in the patient's self-esteem and social wellbeing.

The Value of Occlusion in Dentistry: A Clinical Report Showing the Correction of an Anterior Reverse Articulation with Selective Occlusal Adjustment.

The subject of occlusion has been deemphasized by academia over the last 30 years. This marginalization in turn has negatively impacted recent graduates who are largely unfamiliar with the use of occlusal adjustment by selective reshaping as a treatment modality. Use of proper occlusal therapy enables clinicians to more effectively help patients recover from parafunctional wear of the anterior and posterior teeth. In addition, familiarity with this field enhances the correction of progressive posterior and anterior reverse articulations. This article aims to highlight the importance of occlusal principles in treatment planning. In addition, we illustrate the benefits of occlusal adjustment by using a conservative technique, selective reshaping, as an option to correct anterior reverse articulation in a 20-year-old patient. The knowledge of occlusal principles enhances diagnosis of malocclusion in the development of a treatment plan. When properly employed, the technique of occlusal adjustment by selective reshaping may be used to correct an adaptive anterior reverse articulation with a high degree of predictability for select patients.

Occlusal rehabilitation of pseudo-class III patient.

To treat a patient with anterior crossbite, the clinician should first assess if it is a genuine class III or a pseudo-class III malocclusion. Cephalometric analysis is important; however, registering a patient's centric relation (CR) is simple, quick, and costless and can play a decisive role in a differential diagnosis for this type of patient profile. This clinical report depicts a patient clinically diagnosed as class III. After mandible manipulation in CR, it was noted that the patient in question was a pseudo-class III. The treatment was based on the pseudo-class III diagnosis. Therefore, the patient was rehabilitated by occlusal adjustments and conventional and implant-supported prostheses and without the need for invasive orthognathic surgery.

Fatigue resistance and failure mode of adhesively restored custom implant zirconia abutments.

OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the fatigue resistance and failure mode of porcelain and composite resin crowns and onlays bonded to premolar custom zirconia implant abutments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty standardized zirconia implant abutments were milled (NeoShape) according to two different restoration designs (onlay or crown). Using Cerec 3, the corresponding onlays and crowns were fabricated either in ceramic (Paradigm C) or composite resin (Paradigm MZ100), resulting in four experimental groups (n = 15). The fitting surfaces of the abutments were airborne-particle abraded and cleaned. The intaglio surfaces of the restorations were HF-etched and silanated (Paradigm C) or airborne-particle abraded and silanated (Paradigm MZ100). Following insertion of the abutments into a Morse taper implant (Titamax CM), all restorations were bonded with a zirconia primer (Z-Prime Plus), adhesive resin (Optibond FL), and a preheated light curing composite resin (Filtek Z100). Cyclic isometric chewing (5 Hz) was simulated, starting with a load of 50N (5000×), followed by stages of 200N, 400N, 600N, 800N, 1000N, 1200N, and 1400N (25,000× each). Samples were loaded until fracture or to a maximum of 180,000 cycles. The four groups were compared using the life table survival analysis (Logrank test at P = 0.05). RESULTS: All composite resin onlays and crowns survived (100% survival rate), while ceramic ones fractured at an average load of 1347N and 1280N, respectively, (survival rate of 46.7% and 20%) with a significant difference in survival probability (P < 0.0001). Fractures consisted in partial or total failure of the restoration only (no abutment failure, no screw loosening). CONCLUSIONS: Composite resin onlays and crowns bonded to custom zirconia implant abutments presented a significant higher survival rate when compared to ceramic onlays and crowns.

Accident in implant dentistry: involuntary screwdriver ingestion during surgical procedure. A clinical report.

Although unusual, foreign body ingestion occurs in dentistry and may result in serious complications, such as intestinal perforation. The presence of the foreign body should be confirmed with the use of radiographs. The exam will allow the correct diagnosis and the treatment to be conducted according to the specific situation of the object in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The orientation of the patient as well as the awareness of the patient's medical history are key factors in preventing serious complications. Generally, instruments that enter the GI tract pass asymptomatically and atraumatically within 4 days to 2 weeks. Sometimes, a surgical approach is necessary to remove the instrument when there is bleeding, obstruction, or impaction in the GI tract. Thus, a correct diagnosis is vital to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. The aim of this article is to report an accidental ingestion of a screwdriver by a patient who had previously undergone a hemi-mandibulectomy and its medical resolution.

Nonsexual violence against children and adolescents: a study in a Latin American tertiary and university hospital.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess interpersonal nonsexual violence against children and adolescents in a tertiary university hospital. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in 240 patients under nonsexual violence situation for 15 consecutive years. Data analyses included demographic data, hospital referral site, type and author of nonsexual violence, legal referral, laboratorial and imaging examinations, and outcomes. RESULTS: Nonsexual violence situation was diagnosed in 240 (0.1%) of 295,993 patients for 15 years: 148 (61.7%) in children and 92 (38.3%) in adolescents. Out of 240, the most frequent types of violence were negligence in 156 (65.0%), physical 62 (25.8%), psychological/emotional aggression 52 (21.7%), Munchausen by proxy syndrome 4 (1.7%), and bullying/cyberbullying in 3 (1.3%). Out of 123, the most common pediatric chronic conditions were chronic kidney disease 24 (19.5%), human immunodeficiency virus 14 (11.4%), prematurity 9 (7.3%), cerebral palsy 8 (6.5%), and asthma 8 (6.5%). Further comparison between children versus adolescent under nonsexual violence situation revealed significant difference between the hospital referral sites. The frequency of patients under violence referred from outpatient clinics was significantly reduced in children versus adolescents (27.7 vs. 62%), whereas emergency department was higher in the former group (57.4 vs. 25.0%; p<0.001). All types of violence situations and pediatric chronic conditions were similar in both groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Nonsexual violence against our pediatric population was rarely diagnosed in a tertiary hospital, mainly negligence, physical, and psychological/emotional aggression. Approximately two-thirds of violence diagnosis occurred in children, referred mainly by the emergency department. In contrast, approximately one-third of violence diagnosis occurred in adolescents, referred mostly by outpatient clinics.

Fatigue resistance and failure mode of CAD/CAM composite resin implant abutments restored with type III composite resin and porcelain veneers.

OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the fatigue resistance and failure mode of type III porcelain and composite resin veneers bonded to custom composite resin implant abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Using the CEREC 3 machine, 28 composite resin implant abutments (Paradigm MZ100) were fabricated along with non-retentive type III veneers, milled either in ceramic Paradigm C (n=14) or in composite resin Paradigm MZ100 (n=14). The intaglio surfaces of the veneers were hydrofluoric acid etched and silanated (Paradigm C) or airborne-particle abraded and silanated (MZ100). The fitting surface of the abutments was airborne-particle abraded, cleaned, silanated and inserted into a bone level implant (10 mm, BLI RC). All veneers were luted with adhesive resin (Optibond FL) and a preheated light curing composite resin (Filtek Z100). Cyclic isometric chewing (5 Hz, 30° angle) was simulated, starting with a load of 40 N, followed by stages of 80, 120, 160, 200, 240 and 280 N (20,000 cycles each). Samples were loaded until fracture or to a maximum of 140,000 cycles. Groups were compared using the life table survival analysis (Log rank test at P=0.05). Previously published data using same-design zirconia abutments were included for comparison. RESULTS: Paradigm C and MZ100 specimens fractured at an average load of 243 and 206 N (survival rate of 21% and 0%), respectively, with a significant difference in survival probability (P=0.02). Fractured specimens presented mixed failure modes and solely adhesive failures were not observed. The survival of composite resin abutments was similar to that of identical zirconia abutments from a previous study (P=0.76). CONCLUSIONS: Non-retentive porcelain veneers bonded to custom composite resin implant abutments presented a higher survival rate when compared with composite resin veneers. Survival of composite resin abutment did not differ from zirconia ones.

Dental implant rehabilitation of a patient with down syndrome: a case report.

Implant-supported rehabilitations show higher patient satisfaction when compared with conventional prostheses. Systemic conditions, however, can affect treatment planning of dental implant supported rehabilitations. The oral structures that are commonly affected in patients with Down syndrome include the tongue (macroglossia), teeth (number and shape), and poor quality alveolar and jaw bones (osteoporotic-like). This clinical case presents an interdisciplinary team approach aimed at achieving functional, phonetic, and esthetic outcomes in a patient with Down syndrome.

Employment of U-Shape Technique at Reentry Surgery for Papillae Coronal Migration on the Rehabilitation of Anterior Single Implant: 3-Year Follow-Up Case Report.

INTRODUCTION: The rehabilitation of a maxillary single dental implant represents a great challenge at clinical practice. Harmony among the implant-supported crown and adjacent teeth is required in which concerns pink and white esthetics. The aim of the present case report is to depict a multidisciplinary treatment in which the U-shape flap technique for papillae preservation at second stage surgery was used. CASE PRESENTATION: One female patient presenting an un-rehabilitated dental implant at the left central incisor position sought treatment at the Centre of Education and Research on Dental Implants (CEPID). Alterations of color, shape, and position were observed on the anterior maxillary teeth. For proper treatment planning, radiograph, wax-up, and mock-up were performed. Second stage surgery was performed by the U-shape flap technique. A trunnion abutment was installed at the implant and a provisional subcontoured cemented crown was manufactured. Dental bleaching, feldspathic veneers, and a ceramic crown were performed. Oral hygiene instructions were recommended. Follow-up appointments were set at 1.5 and 3 years after restoration placement. After 3-year follow-up, soft tissue stability and health were preserved and papillae coronal migration around the single dental implant was observed. A complication-free treatment was reached, and patient demonstrated satisfaction towards esthetic and function. CONCLUSIONS: The use of U-shape technique at second stage surgery associated to adequate prosthetic contour improved soft tissue esthetic outcomes, while the multidisciplinary treatment planning provided adequate solutions, refining harmony between dental and implant-supported components.

Retrofitting a tooth-supported crown with an implant and abutment: a clinical report.

This article presents a treatment option for a fractured maxillary central incisor root as part of an existing complete maxillary rehabilitation. After the root extraction and immediate implant placement into the extraction socket, an acrylic resin removable partial denture (RPD) was placed. Six months later, a screw-retained provisional restoration was placed to guide the development of soft tissue contours. An impression was made, and a custom abutment was fabricated to conform to the new gingival profile and the intaglio surface of the existing metal ceramic crown. The custom abutment was placed and the preexisting metal ceramic crown was then cemented.

Comparações entre crianças e adolescentes em situação de violência não sexual revelaram que houve diferença significativa entre os locais de referência do hospital. A frequência de pacientes sob violência encaminhados de ambulatórios foi significantemente reduzida em crianças versus adolescentes (27,7 vs. 62%), enquanto encaminhamentos de pronto-socorro foram mais numerosos no primeiro grupo (57,4 vs. 25%, p<0,001). Os tipos de violências e condições pediátricas crônicas foram semelhantes nos dois grupos(p>0,05). Conclusões: Violência não sexual na nossa população pediátrica foi raramente diagnosticada em um hospital terciário, principalmente negligência, agressão física e psicológica/emocional. Aproximadamente dois terços dos diagnósticos de violência ocorreram em crianças, preferencialmente encaminhadas pelo departamento de emergência. Em contrapartida, cerca de um terço dos diagnósticos de violência ocorreu em adolescentes, encaminhados principalmente pelos ambulatórios.

A Step-by-Step Management of Extraction Sites in Areas of Maxillary Sinus Pneumatization: A Literature Review and a Case Presentation of a New Surgical Technique.

INTRODUCTION: The rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla with implant-supported prosthesis is often complicated by pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. Bone grafting is commonly required in these cases. Over the years, a number of techniques have been developed for this type of reconstruction. AIM: Present and discuss the possibility of alveolar bone regeneration for subsequent placement of oral implants using Fugazzotto's technique in combination with particulate autograft harvested from the mandibular ramus and a connective tissue pedicle flap to cover the graft. METHODS: A case of a 37-year-old woman with a molar perforated during endodontic treatment and indicated for extraction and implant placement is reported. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The clinical case showed the possibility of grafting of extraction sites combined with atraumatic elevation of the maxillary sinus floor can be achieved using non-conventional techniques such as Fugazzotto's technique associated with alveolar bone regeneration.

Fatigue resistance and failure mode of adhesively restored custom metal-composite resin premolar implant abutments.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the fatigue resistance and failure mode of composite resin and porcelain onlays and crowns bonded to premolar custom metal-composite resin premolar implant abutments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty composite resin mesostructures were fabricated with computer assistance with two preparation designs (crown vs onlay) and bonded to a metal implant abutment. Following insertion into an implant with a tapered abutment interface (Titamax CM), each metal-composite resin abutment was restored with either composite resin (Paradigm MZ100) or ceramic (Paradigm C) (n = 15) and attached with adhesive resin (Optibond FL) and a preheated light-curing composite resin (Filtek Z100). Cyclic isometric chewing (5 Hz) was then simulated, starting with 5,000 cycles at a load of 50 N, followed by stages of 200, 400, 600, 800, 1,000, 1,200, and 1,400 N (25,000 cycles each). Samples were loaded until fracture or to a maximum of 180,000 cycles. The four groups were compared using life table survival analysis (log-rank test). Previously published data using zirconia abutments of the same design were included for comparison. RESULTS: Paradigm C and MZ100 specimens fractured at average loads of 1,133 N and 1,266 N, respectively. Survival rates ranged from 20% to 33.3% (ceramic crowns and onlays) to 60% (composite resin crowns and onlays) and were significantly different (pooled data for restorative material). There were no restoration failures, but there were adhesive failures at the connection between the abutment and the mesostructure. The survival of the metal-composite resin premolar abutments was inferior to that of identical zirconia abutments from a previous study (pooled data for abutment material). CONCLUSIONS: Composite resin onlays/crowns bonded to metal-composite resin premolar implant abutments presented higher survival rates than comparable ceramic onlays/crowns. Zirconia abutments outperformed the metal-composite resin premolar abutments.

Treatment of odontogenic myxoma: a multidisciplinary approach-6-year follow-up case.

The most aggressive diseases that affect the oral environment are considered tumors of the jaw. The surgical treatment is preferably done by surgical resection of the lesion, resulting in a great loss of tissue and esthetics. Multidisciplinary planning is required for the rehabilitation of these cases. Autogenous grafting techniques or vascularized flaps allow ridge reconstruction for implant placement, restoring function, and esthetics. This paper reports a 6-year follow-up case of an odontogenic myxoma treated with wide resection and mandibular bone reconstruction for posterior rehabilitation with dental implants.

A new portable vibrator for plaster pouring: effect on the marginal fit at cylinder-abutment.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to test a new portable vibrator for plaster pouring (developed for this purpose), comparing the effect of its use on the accuracy of working cast of implant-supported restorations to the conventional vibrator. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From a master cast with 2 implants, 30 transfer moldings were made randomly and divided into three groups: group I (GI): pouring performed in an outsourced dental laboratory with conventional plaster vibrator (10 casts), group II (GII): pouring performed in the laboratory of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) with conventional plaster vibrator (10 casts) and group III (GIII): pouring performed with the portable vibrator fabricated for this study (10 casts). The position of the analogue and marginal adaptation of the infrastructure were verified by testing the single screw on the master model and on the working model. The measurement of misfit was blindly performed with a precision microscope and analyzing unit, Quadra-Check 200. The data were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Holm-Sidak test (α=0.05). RESULTS: Means±standard deviations were as follows: GI: 19.19±4.73 µm; GII: 21.72±5.41 µm; GIII: 13.5±2.39 µm (P<0.05), with GIII significantly lower as compared to the other groups. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that a greater accuracy of working cast was achieved when a portable vibrator was used for casting molds.

Temporary implants for patients with low bone density of the upper maxilla: an alternative rehabilitation strategy.

BACKGROUND: The use of removable provisional prosthesis after implant placement is undesirable for many patients. In addition, removable prostheses place unfavorable pressure over implants during the healing period. PURPOSE: The use of temporary implants enable greater stability and functionality of the prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This clinical report shows the use of temporary implants in a low density maxilla in conjunction with a fixed provisional prosthesis. RESULTS: The temporary implants contributed to the support of the provisional fixed upper arch prosthesis and to patient comfort with a fixed prosthesis during the healing period. CONCLUSIONS: Fixed provisional prostheses are a potentially desirable alternative treatment strategy.

Optimized placement of angled abutments for external-hex implant platforms: a pilot study.

A survey demonstrated that angled abutments for external-hex implant platforms are difficult to place because of the handling of the components and screwdriver. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a device facilitating the placement of prefabricated angled abutments. This new instrument features improved ergonomics and is based on the design of a modified pickup impression coping. Forty experienced professionals tested two methods of placing angled abutments in a typodont on implants replacing a maxillary central incisor and a maxillary first molar. Using the new device, the abutments could be placed with a 43.9% reduction in time compared to the original manufacturer's instrument.

Resistance of three implant-abutment interfaces to fatigue testing.

UNLABELLED: The design and retentive properties of implant-abutment connectors affect the mechanical resistance of implants. A number of studies have been carried out to compare the efficacy of connecting mechanisms between abutment and fixture. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were: 1) to compare 3 implant-abutment interfaces (external hexagon, internal hexagon and cone-in-cone) regarding the fatigue resistance of the prosthetic screw, 2) to evaluate the corresponding mode of failure, and 3) to compare the results of this study with data obtained in previous studies on Nobel Biocare and Straumann connectors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In order to duplicate the alternating and multivectorial intraoral loading pattern, the specimens were submitted to the rotating cantilever beam test. The implants, abutments and restoration analogs were spun around their longitudinal axes while a perpendicular force was applied to the external end. The objective was to determine the force level at which 50% of the specimens survived 10(6) load cycles. The mean force levels at which 50% failed and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were determined using the staircase procedure. RESULTS: The external hexagon interface presented better than the cone-in-cone and internal hexagon interfaces. There was no significant difference between the cone-in-cone and internal hex interfaces. CONCLUSION: Although internal connections present a more favorable design, this study did not show any advantage in terms of strength. The external hexagon connector used in this study yielded similar results to those obtained in a previous study with Nobel Biocare and Straumann systems. However, the internal connections (cone-in-cone and internal hexagon) were mechanically inferior compared to previous results.

CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that a greater accuracy of working cast was achieved when a portable vibrator was used for casting molds.

Prótese unitária metalocerâmica para implantes colocados em nível ósseo: a estratégia para o pilar Gold / Single-tooth implant-supported metalloceramic crowns for bone level implants: the Gold abutment strategy

O planejamento protético sobre os atuais sistemas de implantes dentais tipo cone-morse junto à prótese parafusada procura obter uma versatilidade protética, facilidade de elaboração, boa resposta biológica, reversibilidade e estética, apresentando-se como um pilar protético com cilindro de plástico que permite fabricação diretamente para a fixação no implante, envolvendo o mecanismo antirrotacional, e sendo uma alternativa no tratamento de reabilitação em casos de requerimento estético em implantes instalados no nível ósseo (Bone level, Straumann). Este relato de caso descreveu o procedimento de exodontia atraumática, seguida da instalação de implante imediato com preenchimento de gap, e subsequente sequência clínica da reabilitação sobre implante cone-morse com componente protético com cilindro de plástico (Gold abutment, Straumann), que promove maior previsibilidade estética na reabilitação em implantes instalados no nível ósseo, apresentando um prognóstico satisfatório e equilíbrio mecânico/funcional que envolve mecanismo antirrotacional.

The prosthetic design on the current cone morse dental implant systems, together with the screwed prosthesis, seeks prosthetic versatility, ease of preparation, good biological response, retrievability and aesthetics, presenting a prosthetic abutment with a plastic burnout cylinder for direct connection to the implant with an antirrotational mechanism for esthetic situations involving a bone level implant (Straumann). This case report describes the atraumatic extraction procedure, followed by the installation of an immediate gap filling implant, and a subsequent clinical sequence using the Gold abutment (Straumann) plastic prosthetic component, which promotes greater aesthetic predictability in the rehabilitation of implants installed at the bone level, presenting a satisfactory prognosis and mechanical/functional balance involving antirotation mechanism.
