Radiographic Evaluation Of Marginal Bone Levels Around Platform-Switched Implants And Non-Platform-Switched Implants Immediately Loaded To Support Mandibular Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Eatmad Elrekaby

Dentistry

Objective: This clinical study was conducted to assess the marginal bone level around two different types of implant abutment junctions which are the platform-switched connection and non-platform- switched connection used in cases of implants supporting mandibular overdentures following the immediate loading protocol. Materials and Methods: Twelve completely edentulous male patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: Group I: Each patient received two Legacy I Implants designed with internal bevel having 3.5mm implant platform diameter to which 3.5mm neck diameter healing collars were threaded creating a matching or non-platform switching mechanism at the implant abutment junction. Group II: Each patient …

Premaxillary Characteristics In Complete Bilateral Cleft Lip And Palate: A Predictor For Treatment Outcome, Noha Ibrahim Abdelrahman Professor, Islam Tarek Hassan Professor

Dentistry

Objectives:

The aim of the current study was to investigate how bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) cases responded differently to presurgical orthopedics (PSO) and primary lip repair (LR) based on premaxillary characteristics. We suggest a clinically oriented descriptive classification for BCLP based on premaxillary characteristics.

Design and Setting:

A retrospective longitudinal comparative study where available records of all non-syndromic patients with complete BCLP attending the Cleft Clinic, affiliated to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department, Ain-Shams University, Cairo, Egypt were assessed.

Sample Population and Methodology:

Twenty-two cases were collected over a 4-years period from 2008 to 2011 (15 boys …

Effect Of Two Different Implant Structures On Stresses Induced Within The Surrounding Bone Using Three Dimensional Finite Element Analysis, Fardos N. Rizk

Dentistry

objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the stresses induced within the bone surrounding the Trabecular Metal Dental Implant (Zimmer Dental Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) in comparison to the stresses induced within the bone surrounding its predicate Tapered Screw Vent Implant (Zimmer Dental Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) using three dimensional finite element analysis. materials and methds: The current finite element analysis simulated a clinical situation where an edentulous mandible was restored with an entirely implant supported cantilever bar overdenture retained by five implants placed parallel to each other in the interforaminal region opposed by a complete denture. Two …

Comparative Study Of Ot Equator Profile Attachment Versus Gps Attachment In Implant Retained Mandibular Overdenture Cases, Fardos N. Rizk

Dentistry

Aim: This study was carried out to evaluate whether OT Equator Profi le attachment or GPS attachment is less destructive to crestal bone around implants and to bone in distal aspect of the ridge in implant retained mandibular overdenture cases. 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 overdentures. Four months following the surgery patients were randomly divided into two equal groups; Group-I received OT Equator Profi le attachment while Group-II received GPS attachment upon which mandibular overdentures were retained. Once patients …

Radiodensitometric Evaluation Of The Effect Of Low Energy Laser Irradiation With And Without Anioxidant Therapy On Immediately Loaded Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Mouchira Salah Eldin Prof.

Dentistry

objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the bone height and density around immediately loaded implants placed in the canine area supporting a mandibular overdenture in four different groups. The first group received low level laser therapy and antioxidants. The second group received antioxidants only. The third group received low level laser therapy only. The fourth group (control group) received no therapy. materials and methods: Following one stage surgical protocol twenty four implants were inserted bilaterally in the canine region to support mandibular overdentures for twelve completely edentulous patients in the form of two implants per patient. Patients …

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy For Promoting Osseointegration Around Dental Implants In Heavy Smokers, Fardos N. Rizk, Nasser Shaheen

Dentistry

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on osseointegration of implants supporting mandibular overdenture in heavy smokers. Materials and Methods: Following two stage surgical protocol twelve completely edentulous male heavy smokers received implants placed bilaterally in the canine region to support mandibular overdenture. On the second day after the surgery patients were divided randomly into two equal groups. Patients of group I were placed on a protocol of five consecutive sessions of HBO therapy, while patients of group II received no therapy and served as control. Four months following the surgery …

Tomographic Assessment Of Different Attachment Sizes In Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Marwa Sabet, Wael Amer

Dentistry

objective: This research was carried to evaluate which ball size mounted on bar splinting two implants supporting overdenture is more favorable regarding bone height and density. material &methods: Two implants(Tut Dental Implant System,ECDI Cairo, Egypt) splinted by bar (OT bar Multiuse attachments,Cas,RHEIN 83, ITALY) carrying two balls (OT Cap attachments, Cas, RHEIN 83 Italy) were inserted in n=10/gp. Patients were divided into two groups according to the size of the balls used which were either micro1.8mm or macro 2.5mm (control group). For all patients overdentures were constructed & conventional tomograms were taken. Crestal bone height & density around the implants …

The Effect Of Two Different Implant Systems On Bony Changes In Mandibular Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Eatmad Elrekaby, Azza Farahat

Dentistry

objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the bone changes that may occur around Legacy I implants and NanoTite Tapered implants supporting mandibular overdentures utilizing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). materials and methods: Fourteen completely edentulous male patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group I: Each patient received two Legacy I implants. Group II: Each patient received two NanoTite Tapered Implants. All implants were inserted bilaterally in the mandibular canine region. For all patients conventional complete dentures were constructed before implants placement. After complete osseointegration of implants, dome shaped healing collars were screwed to the implants upon which …
