Prosthodontic complications in osseointegrated dental implant treatment.

Complications were recorded in consecutive patients with osseointegrated implant-supported prostheses visiting prosthodontic specialist clinics during October and November 1991. Patients at regular follow-ups and emergency visits were included. Of the 600 prostheses examined, 28% needed some prosthodontic treatment. Complications varied widely--from simple adjustment to complete remaking of the prosthesis. The most common complications observed were related to the acrylic resin part of the prostheses. The frequency was higher in maxillary than in mandibular prostheses, and in full-arch removable and fixed prostheses than in single-tooth replacements and fixed partial dentures. Implant losses were rare (0.3% of all 2,709 implants placed) and occurred in 1% of the patients examined.

Visitation: policy versus practice.

Few topics have generated as much controversy as visitation policies in critical care units. This national survey of nurses caring for acute myocardial infarction patients reveals that the number of nurses working in units with an open visiting policy has increased substantially. Open-ended responses reveal the complex judgement that goes into nurses' decisions about whether or not to allow visitors. This article offers managers, educators, advanced practice nurses, and bedside clinicians insight into the factors that nurses consider when making these decisions.
