Cranial implant modification.

This technique combines the heat-cured resin system with an autopolymerizing resin system (Cranioplast). Cranioplast has been used since the early 1950s. Clinical trials have shown that it evoked the least severe inflammatory response when compared with other autopolymerizing methyl methacrylate systems. The advantage inherent in this technique is the ability to go to the operating room with a prefabricated heat-cured acrylic resin prosthesis and alter the implant with Cranioplast for excellent adaptation to the defect. The technique provides a well-fitting cranial implant prosthesis with good cosmetic results.

Replacing a failed resin-bonded fixed partial denture with a single tooth implant.

When adequate width and height of remaining alveolar bone is present, the implant-supported fixed prosthesis is an excellent alternative in replacing a missing tooth. The prosthetic tooth, supported by an endosseous implant, emerges from the tissue in a manner which resembles the natural tooth it replaces better than any other treatment option available. This article presents one clinical case history, preclinical treatment phase, and actual clinical treatment.

Mandibular tori as a source for onlay bone graft augmentation: a surgical procedure.

Conventional dentistry has provided acceptable treatment alternatives for the partially or fully edentulous patient for decades. Recent innovations have provided clinicians with an assortment of new techniques to restore the function of these patients. Established treatment alternatives have been significantly enhanced, resulting in increased acceptance of predictable dental implant restorations. However, implant dentistry cannot be successfully utilized in all edentulous patients, and augmentation measures are often necessary to enhance the alveolar bone, requiring autogenous donor sites. While bone tissue has been harvested from numerous sites, the mandibular tori may provide sufficient graft material. The teaching objective of this article is to describe a clinical implant placement procedure, utilizing bilateral tori as the donor sites of the autogenous grafting material. A clinical case is utilized to document the tori removal and the augmentation procedures.
