Part I: Comparative Analysis Between Natural And Ceramic Teeth, Aneeza Hussain, Ibeth Erazo
Part I: Comparative Analysis Between Natural And Ceramic Teeth, Aneeza Hussain, Ibeth Erazo
Publications and Research
Ceramics play a fundamental role in Dentistry and are used widely, due to their ability to mimic the optical characteristics of enamel and dentine, as well as for their biocompatibility and strength. Initially, dental ceramics were materials that formed part of systems, designed with the purpose of producing dental prosthetics that in turn were used to replace missing or damaged dental structures. However, due to the increased demand for esthetics, its development has gone beyond in such a way that it has led to the development of all ceramic restorations. So that, in the last few decades, there have been …
Pink Tooth Of Mummery In The Maxillary Left Canine After Fixed Partial Denture (Fpd) Preparation, Eger V. Korolevsky, Takashi Komabayashi, Denise Foran
Pink Tooth Of Mummery In The Maxillary Left Canine After Fixed Partial Denture (Fpd) Preparation, Eger V. Korolevsky, Takashi Komabayashi, Denise Foran

Pink tooth of Mummery is typically found after trauma. However, this case report describes an unusual occurrence of pink tooth in a 67-year-old Caucasian male after fixed partial denture (FPD) tooth preparation. Pink tooth in this case may be due to one or more factors: tooth reduction and heat generation during tooth preparation; heat generation during polymerization of provisional material; and hyperocclusion of a provisional FPD. This case highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate materials and techniques to avoid pulpal complications after dental prosthesis work.
Part I: Complete Dentures And Diabetes Correlation, Ibeth Erazo
Part I: Complete Dentures And Diabetes Correlation, Ibeth Erazo
Publications and Research
Diabetes is one of the most frequent pathologies that dentists encounter, due to its high prevalence worldwide. The aim of this study is to present the correlation between diabetes and complete denture wearers, intending to emphasize the importance of proper control and denture adaptation to oral environment for this type of patient. Within the sphere of the dental office, one of the main complications to consider in this type of patient is periodontal disease, which is their most frequent complication. Other important oral manifestations considered in the research are fungal infections, xerostomia, and burning mouth syndrome. It is common for …
Implant Impression Accuracy Of Parallel And Non-Parallel Implants: A Comparative In-Vitro Analysis Of Open And Closed Tray Techniques, Motaz S. Osman, Hassan M. Ziada, Neamat H. Abubakr, Ahmed M. Suliman
Implant Impression Accuracy Of Parallel And Non-Parallel Implants: A Comparative In-Vitro Analysis Of Open And Closed Tray Techniques, Motaz S. Osman, Hassan M. Ziada, Neamat H. Abubakr, Ahmed M. Suliman
Dental Medicine Faculty Publications
Background The outcome of the evaluation of impression techniques accuracy may improve the selection criteria for an ideal technique. The aim was to evaluate the accuracy of the open and closed tray techniques for implant impressions, in a partially edentulous maxilla, replaced with a three-unit fixed partial denture, as well as to assess the effect of implants parallelism on accuracy. Material and methods This is an experimental in vitro study to evaluate impressions accuracy of a simulated area restored with an implant retained FPD, using the open and closed tray implant impression techniques. The effect of implant position angulation, parallelism, …
The Effect Of Framework Material On Partial Overdenture Supporting Structure, Sara Fikry El Shafei
The Effect Of Framework Material On Partial Overdenture Supporting Structure, Sara Fikry El Shafei
Dentistry
Purpose: In this study the effect of two partial denture framework materials on the bone tissues surrounding a the implants, in an implant retained partial overdenture is compared. Materials and Mehods: 12 partially edentulous patients with mandibular kennedy class I configuration were selected for this study. They were divided into two groups; Group 1 received a mandibular implant retained partial overdentures with a framework made of cobalt chromium. Group 2 received implant retained partial overdentures with a framework made of acetal resin. The results were evaluated using cone beam ct. Results: The results showed that bone changes produced in metallic …
Osseointegrated Implants Versus Zirconium Mucosal Inserts In Complete Denture Patients, Sara Fikry El Shafei Dr, Fardos N Rizk
Osseointegrated Implants Versus Zirconium Mucosal Inserts In Complete Denture Patients, Sara Fikry El Shafei Dr, Fardos N Rizk
Dentistry
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of osseointegrated implants versus mucosal inserts used for retention of complete dentures. Materials and Methods: Twelve completely edentulous patients were selected for this study and divided into two groups of six. Group I received implant retained maxillary overdentures, while group II received maxillary overdentures retained by muchor zirconium mucosal inserts. Bone changes in both groups were evaluated using cone beam ct at insertion and after six and twelve months. Results: The results showed that the bone changes produced in mucosal overdenture wearers were greater than those produced in implant overdenture wearers. Conclusion: Zirconium mucosal inserts …
Deviation Between Planned And Actual Implant Positions Inserted Using Mucosa-Supported Stereolithographic Surgical Guide In Edentulous Mandible And Maxilla, Fardos N. Rizk, Marwa Sabet Prof., Omar Yehia
Deviation Between Planned And Actual Implant Positions Inserted Using Mucosa-Supported Stereolithographic Surgical Guide In Edentulous Mandible And Maxilla, Fardos N. Rizk, Marwa Sabet Prof., Omar Yehia
Dentistry
Purpose: estimate the deviation between the planned and the actual implant inserted using a mucosa-supported stereolithographic surgical guide in different edentulous arches and determine the effect of the arch (mandible or maxilla) on accuracy. Materials and Methods: 16 implants were placed in completely edentulous arches and divided into two groups. Group (A): Eight implants were placed in four patients in the mandible using completely limiting mucosa-supported stereolithographic (SLA) surgical guide during implant insertion. Two implants were placed in each patient intraforamina. Group (B): Eight implants were placed in Two patients in the maxilla using completely limiting mucosa-supported stereolithographic (SLA) surgical …
