When patients present with anatomic limitations for placement of conventional dental implants and bone grafting is not an option, we can use short and wide dental implants to replace their missing teeth. When properly planned and executed, short and wide dental implants can be very successful and provide patient with stable and strong teeth for years of service.
This document contains a presentation on short dental implants given by Dr. Mohammed Alshehri at the ITI Congress Middle East in Abu Dhabi, UAE in December 2012. The presentation defines short implants, reviews the available evidence on their success rates compared to longer implants or bone augmentation procedures, and identifies factors that can affect the success of short implants such as surgical protocol, implant design, surface characteristics, crown-to-implant ratio and occlusal forces. Studies show short implants have high success rates, especially when placed in the mandible, and may be preferable to more complex augmentation procedures.
This document summarizes key concepts regarding occlusion for implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. It notes that unlike natural teeth which have periodontal ligaments to absorb forces, implants lack this and forces are concentrated at the crestal bone. As such, implant occlusion schemes aim to reduce bending moments and distribute forces axially. Recommendations include using flat fossa and grooves, narrow occlusal tables, reduced cuspal inclines, stiffer materials, and avoiding excursive contacts to protect the implant and surrounding bone.
The document discusses occlusal considerations for implant-supported prostheses. It introduces various occlusal terminology and explores the significance of occlusion on osseointegrated implants. The document outlines the goals of implant protective occlusion (IPO), which aims to distribute occlusal forces appropriately to minimize stress on implants and surrounding bone. IPO principles include using thin articulating paper for initial adjustment, equalizing contacts under heavy bite forces, avoiding non-axial and offset loads, and designing the occlusion around the weakest component. The document also discusses factors like implant angulation, crown height, bone quality and the materials used for occlusal surfaces.
Occlusal Considerations For Implant Supported Prostheses Implant Protectes O...Mohammed Alshehri
Trauma from occlusion refers to pathological changes in the periodontium caused by excessive force from chewing muscles. While excessive force alone does not cause tissue breakdown, it may act as a co-factor in plaque-induced periodontal disease by enhancing the rate of progression. Proper treatment of plaque is important to arrest tissue destruction, even if occlusal trauma persists. Treating occlusal trauma alone through adjustment or splinting may reduce mobility but not stop further breakdown from untreated plaque.
This document provides an introduction to removable prosthodontics, specifically complete dentures (CD). It defines a CD and lists its objectives of restoring esthetics, speech, mastication, and tissue health while providing patient satisfaction. A CD includes conventional, immediate, and overdenture designs. It has three surfaces - polished, fitting, and occlusal - and involves six visits for construction. Immediate dentures are fabricated immediately after tooth removal, while overdentures cover remaining natural teeth or implants. A single denture replaces teeth in one jaw.
This document provides an introduction to prosthodontics and complete denture prosthodontics. It defines prosthodontics as the dental specialty concerned with replacing missing oral structures with artificial substitutes. Prosthodontics has four main branches: removable prosthodontics, fixed prosthodontics, maxillofacial prosthodontics, and implant prosthodontics. Removable prosthodontics focuses on replacing teeth and structures for patients who are edentulous (without teeth) or partially edentulous. Key terms introduced include complete denture, partial denture, retention, stability, and support.

Dental implant biomechanics, treatment planing, and prosthetic considerationsPalm Immsombatti
This document discusses biomechanical considerations for dental implants including load-bearing capacity, implant failure mechanisms, and treatment planning strategies. Key points include: osseointegrated implants can withstand anticipated loads if placed properly; excessive or nonaxial loads can lead to bone loss and failure; treatment planning aims to distribute loads across multiple implants placed in optimal positions and angles to avoid overload; and implant-retained overdentures are generally preferable to fixed prostheses for edentulous patients.
This document provides an overview of ceramics used in fixed prosthodontics. It discusses various types of ceramics including glass ceramics, glass infiltrated mixtures, and polycrystalline ceramics. Examples mentioned include lithium disilicate, zirconia, and alumina. The document reviews clinical indications and uses of different ceramics, as well as case considerations, preparation designs, and causes of failure. An outline is provided of the topics to be covered in the presentation on ceramics in dental practice.
This document discusses several key points regarding dental implants:
1) Bone density and quality greatly impact implant success, with the highest success seen in the anterior mandible and lowest in the posterior maxilla due to poorer bone density.
2) Treatment planning considerations include implant placement based on available bone, with a minimum of 3 implants to replace missing posterior teeth in the maxilla.
3) Linear implant configurations are less stable than curved arrangements and more prone to overload from non-axial forces, particularly in low-density posterior areas.
This document discusses the process for creating and fitting a complete denture. [1] It begins by outlining indications for complete dentures, such as extensive bone loss or being edentulous. [2] It then describes the series of appointments involved, including history taking and examinations, primary and final impressions, jaw relationship recording, a try-in, delivery, and follow-ups. [3] Each appointment covers multiple steps to properly create and fit the dentures.

Key anatomical landmarks are described for the maxilla and mandible, including supporting, relieving, and limiting structures. Basic requirements for impressions include anatomical knowledge, technique skills, material knowledge, and patient management. Steps and various impression techniques are also outlined.
Complete denture prosthodontics step by stepMajeed Okshah
This document outlines the steps a denturist takes to restore a patient's dentures. The denturist aims to restore form, function, and esthetics. The process involves taking a primary impression, pouring it, arranging artificial teeth, waxing them up, doing a try in with the patient, flasking the mold, packing it with acrylic, finishing, polishing, and following up with the patient.
Dental ceramics include porcelain and are used for dental restorations. Porcelain is made from a glass matrix containing mineral phases and feldspars. It is used for dental crowns, veneers, dentures, and other prosthetics. Porcelain has good biocompatibility and esthetics but is brittle. Metal-ceramic restorations combine a metal substructure with porcelain for strength. All-ceramic restorations are made entirely of ceramic materials and provide superior esthetics but require more tooth reduction. Common all-ceramic systems include machinable blocks, castable ceramics, pressable ceramics, and infiltrated glass ceramics.
