Stress Distribution Around Single Short Dental Implants: A Finite Element Study
In this study, Von Mises stress on a 6 mm implant under a static vertical load of 250 N appeared to be almost in the same range of 8 and 10 mm implant which were more as compared to 13 mm implant. Von Mises stress on a 6mm implant under a static horizontal load of 100 N appeared to be less when compared to 8, 10 and 13 mm implants. From the results obtained it may be inferred that under static horizontal loading conditions, shorter implants receive lesser load and thus may tend to transfer more stresses to the surrounding bone. While under static vertical loading the shorter implants bear more loads and comparatively tran...

Electro-Mechanical Finger Prosthesis: A Novel Approach for Rehabilitation of Finger Amputees
Abstract Prosthesis refers to artificial replacement of an absent part of the human body. These prostheses help in psychological support of the patients and enhance their social acceptance. Complete or partial finger amputations are some of most frequently encountered forms of partial hand loss. Micro vascular reconstruction is the first choice of rehabilitation but when it is contraindicated, unavailable, unsuccessful or unaffordable, the prosthetic rehabilitation is an alternative for improving the psychological status of an individual. Most of these artificial prostheses make use of silicone. The prese...

Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Marginally Resected Mandibular Arch With a Metal Reinforced Telescopic Overdenture
Abstract Success of the prosthesis after mandibular resection is related directly to the amount of the remaining bone and soft tissue present. The prognosis for mandibulectomy patients becomes less favorable as the size of the resection increases. Prosthetic rehabilitation for such patients is a challenge for clinicians. Without preprosthetic reconstructive surgery, denture fabrication for mandibulectomy patients becomes extremely difficult. Telescopic dentures is a modality of treatment consisting of an inner or primary telescopic coping which is permanently cemented to an abutment and an outer or seco...

Management of Abutment Screw Loosening: Review of Literature and Report of a Case
Abstract Dental implant restoration has been widely accepted as one of the treatment modalities to replace missing teeth and to restore human masticatory function. The use of root form endosseous implant has increased considerably and this restorative option has become more refined with the introduction of newer designs and concepts. Long term post placement studies have reported prosthetic complications, including screw loosening, screw fracture, framework and implant fracture. Abutment screw loosening is the second most common cause of failure of implant supported restoration, next to loss of osseoint...

Early Prosthetic Management of Maxillectomy, Hemimandibulectomy Patient with a Lateral Mid Facial Defect: A Case Report
Abstract Maxillofacial prostheses for acquired defects have become more complex and sophisticated with advances in surgical, physical, and rehabilitative dentistry, but before planning, orofacial structures must be analyzed as to the specific cause and the consequent objectives of rehabilitation. Also retention of facial prostheses is very much challenging. Hence, we are presenting the fabrication of an interim prosthesis obturator and cheek prosthesis to restore the speech, help in deglutition and prevent drooling of saliva.

Narrow Ridge Management with Ridge Splitting with Piezotome for Implant Placement: Report of 2 Cases
Abstract Narrow dentoalveolar ridges remain a serious challenge for the successful placement of endosseous implants. Several techniques for this procedure may be considered, such as guided bone regeneration, bone block grafting, and ridge splitting for bone expansion. The ridge split procedure provides a quicker method wherein an atrophic ridge can be predictably expanded and grafted with bone allograft or allograft, eliminating the need for second surgical site. Traditionally, osseous surgery has been performed by either manual or motor-driven instruments. Piezosurgery is a relatively new technique for...
