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,

The design and fabrication of fiber-reinforced implant prostheses
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2002The use of fiber composite technology in the creation of metal-free implant prostheses may solve many of the problems associated with a metal alloy substructure such as corrosion, toxicity, complexity of fabrication, high cost, and esthetic limitations.

Advances in neural implants and prostheses
2008 5th International Summer School and Symposium on Medical Devices and Biosensors, 2008The neuroscience has become more quantitative and information-driven science since emerging implantable and wearable sensors from macro to nano and computational tools facilitate collection and analysis of vast amounts of neural data. Complexity analysis of neural systems provides physiological knowledge for the organization, management and mining of ...

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

Implant prostheses for convertibility, stress control, esthetics, and hygiene
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1988A method of connecting "fixed partial denture" prostheses to osseointegrated implant fixtures has been described. The advantages of this system of restoration for partially and fully edentulous mouths are that it is more effective in addressing the problems of (1) stress-control on abutments, (2) a back-up system for abutment failures, (3) esthetics ...
