Radiographic Evaluation Of Accuracy Of Surgical Stent For Implant Placement In Knife Edge Posterior Mandibular Ridge In Cases Of Ridge Splitting, Fardos N. Rizk, Engy Abdelhamed
Dentistry
Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of using conventional surgical stents guided by cone beam computed tomography in determining the position and buccolingual inclination of implants placed in posterior mandibular knife edge ridge in cases of ridge splitting with and without bone grafting material. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on sixteen implants placed bilaterally in posterior knife edge mandibular ridge of four patients, where each patient received four implants in the form of two in each side. Implants on the right side of the ridge were placed following ridge splitting and bone grafting (group A). …

Effect Of Two Different Attachments On The Supporting Structures And Masticatory Capacity Of Implant Retained Mandibular Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk
Dentistry
Aim: This study was conducted to compare the effect of ball and socket attachment and GPS attachment in implant retained mandibular overdenture cases regarding changes in: crestal bone height and density surrounding implants, electromyographic activity of temporalis and masseter muscles and occlusal biting force. Materials and Methods: Following two stage surgical protocol twelve completely edentulous patients received two implants placed bilaterally in the canine region (24 implants) to retain mandibular overdenture. Four months following the surgery patients were randomly divided into two equal groups; Group-I received ball and socket attachment while Group-II received GPS attachment upon which mandibular overdentures were …
