PURPOSE. The aim of the current study was to analyze treatment concepts of a cohort of German dentists for planning, fabrication, and maintenance of implant-supported fixed and removable restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A questionnaire including queries about experiences with implant-supported restorations as well as prosthetic and maintenance treatment concepts for supplying patients with fixed and removable implant-supported prosthetic restorations was developed and sent to 350 dental offices registered in the municipal area of Leipzig, Germany. RESULTS. An overall total of 62 returned questionnaires were included in the analyses, which relates to a response rate of 17.7%. Participating dentists were more involved in the prosthetic aspects of implant dentistry rather than surgery, while prosthetic concepts such as backward planning, digital processing, and application of all-ceramic materials were not commonly performed. Simple attachments were preferred over complex retention systems in removable implant-supported restorations. Tooth/implant-supported fixed denture prostheses as well as removable denture prostheses with supporting posterior implants were not regarded as a favorable treatment option. CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of the study, the data indicate that dentists favor simple and conventional treatment approaches in implant prosthetics. Prosthetic aspects in the planning of implant-supported restorations are often neglected. Prosthetic treatment guidelines and aspects should commonly be considered in the planning phase of implant-supported prosthetic restorations, and awareness should be increased in postgraduate education.

완전 무치악 환자에서 임플란트를 이용한 치료 방법은 환자의 삶의 질 개선에 크게 기여하였으나, 잔존골 상태나 경제력 등에 의해 임플란트의 식립 개수에 제한을 받는 상황이 종종 나타난다. 이러한 경우 일반적으로 임플란트 피개의치나 임플란트 융합 국소의치 형태로 치료계획을 세울 수 있지만, 정확한 설계를 바탕으로 양측성 캔틸레버 형태의 고정성 보철물 역시 고려해 볼 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 심한 치조골 흡수를 보이는 완전 무치악 환자에서 상악 총의치 및 하악 임플란트 지지 고정성 캔틸레버 보철물 제작을 통해 기능적, 심미적으로 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하고자 한다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this article is to analyze the preference for treatment modality of dentists. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Data of 20,038 patients was involved. Data analysis were done by distribution according to the various kinds of prosthesis, including complete denture, removable partial denture, fixed partial denture, implant-supported dental prosthesis as well as distribution according to the professional titles of the dentists finishing the treatment, including resident and professors. RESULTS. The number of cases of dental prosthesis increased year by year. 61.06% of the patients accepted fixed partial denture restoration. The number of patients who accepted implant supported restoration is also increasing year by year. The number of complete denture, implant-supported dental prosthesis finished by professors was larger than that done by residents, while it was contrary for removable partial denture, fixed partial denture, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). CONCLUSION. Professors and residents have some difference in the categorization of prosthesis finished. Fixed partial denture and implant-supported dental prosthesis are preferred.

The term, 'crossed occlusion' implies clinical situation in which the residual teeth in one arch have no contact with those in the antagonistic arch, resulting in the collapse of occlusal vertical dimension. The treatment goal of this pathologic condition is restoration of the collapsed vertical dimension and stabilization of abnormal mandibular position. Previously, konus removable prostheses or tooth supported overdentures were suggested to solve crossed occlusion. Nowadays, dental implants have been used for definitive support to solve this problem. In this case report, a 65 years old female patient had a crossed occlusion, in which the maxillary posterior residual teeth and mandibular anterior residual teeth cross. Interim removable and fixed dental prostheses were used to confirm the proper vertical and horizontal jaw relation. After that, the mandibular posterior edentulous region was restored with implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. Computer tomography guided implant surgery was performed according to the concept of the restoration-driven implant placement. The maxillary anterior edentulous region was restored with Kennedy class IV removable prosthesis, considering the patient's economic status. The patient's jaw position and prostheses have been well maintained at the follow-up after 6 months of definitive restoration. The antero-posterior crossed occlusion problems appeared to be effectively solved with the combination of removable in one arch and implant-supported fixed prostheses in the other.

PURPOSE. Four and six implant-supported fixed full-arch prostheses with various framework materials were assessed under different loading conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In the edentulous maxilla, the implants were positioned in a configuration of four to six implant modalities. CoCr, Ti, ZrO₂, and PEEK materials were used to produce the prosthetic structure. Using finite element stress analysis, the first molar was subjected to a 200 N axial and 45° oblique force. Stresses were measured on the bone, implants, abutment screw, abutment, and prosthetic screw. The Von Mises, maximum, and minimum principal stress values were calculated and compared. RESULTS. The maximum and minimum principal stresses in bone were determined as CoCr < ZrO₂ < Ti < PEEK. The Von Mises stresses on the implant, implant screw, abutment, and prosthetic screws were determined as CoCr < ZrO₂ < Ti < PEEK. The highest Von Mises stress was 9584.4 Mpa in PEEK material on the prosthetic screw under 4 implant-oblique loading. The highest maximum principal stress value in bone was found to be 120.89 Mpa, for PEEK in 4 implant-oblique loading. CONCLUSION. For four and six implant-supported structures, and depending on the loading condition, the system accumulated different stresses. The distribution of stress was reduced in materials with a high elastic modulus. When choosing materials for implant-supported fixed prostheses, it is essential to consider both the number of implants and the mechanical and physical attributes of the framework material.

An all-on-4 restoration allows edentulous patients to use a fixed prosthesis with a minimum number of implants. These implant-supported fixed complete dentures have traditionally been fabricated as screw-retained or cement-retained prostheses. However, it is difficult to passively fit the long-span full-arch prosthesis using the screw-retained type restoration, and predictable retrievability is not obtained with the cement-retained type. This case report describes a prosthesis fabricated using a combination of the two retention types. The screwmentable method allows the implant-supported fixed complete denture to achieve a passive fit at the connection with retrievability. In addition, a framework with an optimized size was designed by using digital dental technology.

Statement of problem: A conventional 3-unit fixed partial denture design with a pontic between two retainers is the most commonly used. However in cases where the mental nerve is in close proximity to the second premolar, a cantilever design can be considered. As such, logical and scientific evidence is lacking for the number and position of implants to be placed for partially edentulous patients, and no clear-cut set of treatment principles currently exist. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate prognosis of implant-supported fixed partial dentures and to compare changes in bone level which may rise due to the different factors. Material and method : The present study examined radiographical marginal bone loss in patients treated with implant-supported fixed partial dentures (87 prostheses supported by 227 implants) and evaluated the influence of the span of the pontic, type of the opposing dentition. Clinical complications were studied using a retrospective method. Within the limitation of this study. the following result were drawn Result, 1. Seven of a total of 227 implants restored with fixed prostheses failed, resulting in a 96.9% success rate. 2. Complications encountered during recall appointments included dissolution of temporary luting agent (17 cases), porcelain fracture (8 cases), loosened screws (5 cases), gingival recession (4 cases), and gingival enlargement (1 case). 3. Marginal bone loss, 1 year after prosthesis placement, was significant(P<0.05) in the group that underwent bone grafting, however no difference in annual resorption rate was observed afterwards. 4. Marginal bono loss, 1 year post-placement, was greater in cantilever-type prostheses than in centric pontic protheses (P<0.05). 5. Marginal bone loss was more pronounced in posterior regions compared to anterior regions (P<0.05). 6. The degree of marginal bone loss was proportional to the length of the pontic (P<0.05). Conclusion: The success rate of implant-supported fixed partial dentures, including marginal bone loss, was satisfactory in the present study. Factors influencing marginal bone loss included whether bone graft was performed, location of the pontic (s), location of the surgical area in the arch pontic span. Long-term evaluation is necessary for implant-supported fixed partial dentures, as are further studies on the relationship between functional load and the number of implants to be placed.
