Implant‐Supporting Telescopic Maxillary Prostheses and Immediate Loading
Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, 2012AbstractImmediate loading (IL) in the maxilla is a successful concept when implants are splinted together using a fixed restoration. This concept is associated with high number of implants or difficulties in the plaque control underneath the restoration, which may reduce the patient comfort and satisfaction and compromise the implant prognosis ...

Retrospective Study of Implant-Retained Orbital Prostheses
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2010Extraoral implants provide the prostheses excellent stability and retention. However, the use of implants in the orbit showed questionable survival rates. Furthermore, evaluation of this treatment from the patients' point of view is lacking in clinical studies.

Silicone breast prostheses implantation and explantation
Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1994Breast implants have been used for augmentation and reconstruction for a 30-year period. Standard techniques have been used for the successful placement of mammary prostheses to enhance or replace breast tissue. All breast implants are surrounded by a capsule.

The idea of recovering lost body functions by using available materials and technologies is documented even in antiquity. The ancient Egyptians used linen saturated with rubber as wound dressings, the Aztec civilisation used gold in dental fillings, Romans had urological catheters, while the first prosthetic hands, feet and legs appeared during the ...

Concepts for Designing and Fabricating Metal Implant Frameworks for Hybrid Implant Prostheses
Journal of Prosthodontics, 2012AbstractEdentulous patients have reported difficulties in managing complete dentures; they have also reported functional concerns and higher expectations regarding complete dentures than the dentists who have treated them. Some of the objectives of definitive fixed implant prosthodontic care include predictable, long‐term prostheses, improved function,

Quality of Implant Anchored Craniofacial and Intraoral Prostheses
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2014Bone-anchored prostheses have become a major issue in the rehabilitation of patients with facial defects. The objective of this study was to analyze how patients perceived the quality of implant-retained orbit, ear, nose, maxilla, or partial face prosthesis.The patients' satisfaction from implant-retained prostheses usage was evaluated by a group of 30

Maintenance of Implant Hybrid Prostheses: Clinical and Laboratory Procedures
Journal of Prosthodontics, 2012AbstractFixed implant hybrid prostheses have been used for the last 40+ years in the treatment of edentulous patients. These prostheses have provided long‐term masticatory function for thousands of patients. The original treatment protocol included fabrication of cast metal frameworks that fit accurately on the restorative platforms or abutments and/or
