This document discusses factors affecting the selection of patients for implant retained prostheses. It outlines that a thorough patient evaluation including medical history, dental evaluation through examination and imaging, and informed consent is required. The dental evaluation assesses bone quality and quantity, occlusion, and adjacent teeth. Indications for implants include missing teeth from congenital defects, trauma, or being edentulous. Contraindications include certain medical conditions, smoking, drugs/alcohol, or inadequate bone. Proper patient selection is key for implant success and satisfying treatment outcomes.

Partial or complete edentulism has multiple implications in relation to function, esthetics and future rehabilitative treatment. This case report illustrates the management of a patient with extreme consequences of partial edentulism in the maxillary arch and total edentulism in the mandibular arch. The main clinical findings were unopposed remaining teeth, over eruption of the remaining teeth, loss of vertical dimension of occlusion, and significant disfigurement of the occlusal plane. Following the diagnostic procedure, a well-coordinated prosthodontic treatment involving liaison with other dental disciplines was indicated. The management involved an innovative combination of fixed and removable prostheses in conjunction with intentional root canal therapy of the remaining natural teeth. Series of provisional prostheses were applied to facilitate the transition to the final treatment.

Abstract: Congenitally missing lateral incisors create an esthetic problem with specific orthodontic and prosthetic considerations. Selecting the appropriate treatment option depends on many factors, such us the malocclusion, the anterior relationship, specific space requirements, bone volume, root proximity, the condition of the adjacent teeth, and esthetic prediction mainly when the canine must be reshaped.Resin bonded bridges were considered to be doomed owing to their very high decementation rate, have come alive once again because of newer resin based cements. This article will discuss the variety of treatment managements in case of space opening and treated with two 2-unit cantilevered resin-bonded fixed partial dentures supported by the cuspids. This conservative treatment plan was cost-effective without having any significant biological cost. Keywords: Agenesis, Resin- bonded fixed partial denture, interim prosthesis.

Abstract: Severe atrophy of the inferior alveolar process and underlying basal bone often results in problems with a lower denture. These problems include insufficient retention of the lower denture, intolerance to loading by the mucosa, pain, difficulties with eating and speech, loss of soft-tissue support, and altered facial appearance. These problems are a challenge for the prosthodontist and surgeon. In this case report, patient with resorbed edentulous mandible was successfully rehabilitated using two dental implants placed in the interforaminal region with ball abutments opposing conventional maxillary complete denture. Key Words: dental implants; dental prosthesis, implant-supported; resorption,
Modern Treatment for Congenitally Missing Teeth : A Multidisciplinary Appro...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most common congenitally absent tooth. There are several treatment options for replacing the missing maxillary lateral incisor, including canine substitution, tooth-supported restoration, or single-tooth implant. Dental implants are an appropriate treatment option for replacing missing maxillary lateral incisor teeth in adolescents when their dental and skeletal development is complete. This case report presents the treatment of a patient with congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors using dental implants. Finally, the importance of interdisciplinary team treatment planning is emphasized as a requirement for achieving optimal final esthetics
Overdentures can be either tooth or implant supported. Completely edentulous patients whose economic condition Thwarts them to invest in the expensive implant (number based) treatments should be motivated to have at least a two implant-supported overdenture since the prosthesis offers most of the advantages of conventional tooth-supported overdenture. We report a case of an elderly female patient who was reluctant toward surgery, but with moderate education was treated successfully with a two staged, two implant-supported overdenture using a ball abutment with o ring attachment.

We understand the unique challenges pickleball players face and are committed to helping you stay healthy and active. In this presentation, we’ll explore the three most common pickleball injuries and provide strategies for prevention and treatment.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. INTRODUCTION
The use of dental implants to provide support for replacement of missing teeth or tooth is
becoming an important component of modern dentistry. As a result of advances in research
on implant design, materials, and techniques the use of these devices has increased
dramatically in the past few years and is expected to expand further in the future. Many types
of implants are now available for application to different clinical cases, and an increasing
number of dentists have become involved in this form of treatment for missing tooth or teeth.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE SELECTION OF
PATIENT FOR IMPLANT RETAINED PROSTHESIS
4. PATIENT FACTOR
An understanding for patient’s needs, socioeconomic background, general medical
condition etc., is a prerequisite for successful therapy. There should be a complete
assessment of the patient’s chief complaint and expectations, dental history, motivation
and compliance, habits . Optimal individual treatment results may only be achieved if the
patient’s demands are in balance with the objective evaluation of the condition and the
projected treatment outcomes.
5. DENTAL EVALUATION
1.Extra oral examination: Assessment of mouth opening should be done, as instrumentation involved with
implant therapy need sufficiently wide mouth opening. Aesthetic characteristics like smile line, lip line, and
facial midline should be evaluated in patients needing tooth replacement in aesthetic zone .
2.Intra oral examination : Residual infections in the alveolar bone (e.g. failed endodontic treatment), non-vital
teeth especially those adjacent to edentulous space, caries, overhanging restoration margins etc., should be
treated before considering implant therapy as a treatment option. Analysis of static and dynamic aspects of
patient’s occlusion should be analyzed . These include adequacy of vertical dimension of occlusion, maxilla-
mandibular relationship, overjet, overbite, stability in habitual occlusion, centric relation, canine guidance etc
.

14. FACTORS AFFECTING THE SELECTION OF
PATIENT FOR IMPLANT RETAINED PROSTHESIS
.
c)Informed Consent: Patients should be fully informed of all treatment options
including treatment alternatives with the advantages and disadvantages of each
approach. In addition patients should be made aware of:
• The likely outcome and success rates.
• Any potential complications.
• Long-term care implications.
• Commitment to long term maintenance.
The patient should be motivated, have realistic expectations and be able and
willing to care for the restoration after being discharged from hospital care.
15. CLINICAL INDICATIONS
1.Age : There is no upper age limit providing the patient is capable of undergoing the surgical phase and the
subsequent self maintenance. In contrast implant treatment should be delayed in young individuals until
growth is complete. Patients should be at least 18 years of age with sufficient bone volume and maturity to
prevent any related post operative complications linked to further bone growth.
16. CLINICAL INDICATIONS
2.Hypodontia/Oligodontia/Anodontia: This category ranges from young patients with 1 or 2developmentally
missing anterior teeth to those who have very few permanent teeth. In these latter cases the few permanent
teeth are often small and conical, providing poor retention for conventional bridges or dentures.
3.Cleft palate: Repaired clefts with sufficient bone are often amenable to implant placement. Unrepaired clefts
and those requiring bone grafts are more complex and are likely to require a multidisciplinary approach.
4.Ectopic teeth : Patients presenting with ectopic teeth that have failed to respond to conventional
orthodontic/surgical approaches should be considered for implant provision for replacement of the ectopic
tooth or teeth rendered unrestorable due to collateral damage.
17. CLINICAL INDICATIONS
Fig. A series of radiograph pictures of the patient . A, Radiograph before alveolar graft. Bilateral alveolar clefts are seen; B, Radiograph after
autogenous particle cancellous bone marrow (PCBM) grafting to alveolar cleft; C, Radiograph after mandibular ramus onlay graft (RBOG); D,
Radiograph of prosthesis at 2 years after implant installment. The radiolucent area of the right incisor is a periapical lesion, which is not related to
the implant surgery
18. CLINICAL INDICATIONS
5.Congenitally malformed teeth and supporting structures:
• Patients presenting with structural defects in dentine and enamel (e.g.
dentinogenesis imperfecta and amelogenesis imperfecta) that are
unrestorable despite previous attempts or have a hopeless long term
prognosis.
• Patients presenting with complex root canal morphology that has rendered
anterior teeth nonvital(such as dens invaginatus Type II and III). Root canal
treatment should be attempted in the first instance and if unsuccessful only
then should an implant be considered.
The above list is not exhaustive, any condition whereby teeth are congenitally
malformed (or their supporting structures) that are otherwise unrestorable
should be considered for implant replacement.
19. CLINICAL INDICATIONS
6.People who are edentulous in one or both jaws:
• The provision of two implants in the mandible to retain an overdenture is
now widely recognized as the first choice treatment in the completely
edentate. The provision of this type of prosthesis has been shown to
improve oral health related quality of life, function, satisfaction and is
considered a cost effective approach when compared to conventional
dentures.
• Those patient presenting with an intact and stable dentition in one arch
opposing an edentate arch can also be considered for implants especially if
they fall into one of the other categories detailed in this document
20. CLINICAL INDICATIONS
7.People who have lost teeth due to trauma :
Loss of one of more anterior teeth in cases where the alveolar bone is mostly intact can be readily treated.
Patients who have suffered major bone loss in addition to multiple teeth through trauma may require
bone grafts
Fig:The trauma impacted primarily the central anterior teeth (two front teeth) and his lower lip. Swelling is still evident in this
picture, as well as the sutures. An existing bridge was destroyed along with a central incisor, which was partly anchoring the bridge.
The incisor required extraction. Of the different treatment plans recommended by doctors, the patient elected to have both front teeth
replaced with dental implants.
22. CLINICAL CONTRAINDICATIONS
2.Local contraindications
• The alveolar bone where the implants would be positioned, shows chronic
infections, has an inadequate structure or an insufficient height or width.
• Anatomical structures such as the maxillary sinus , the inferior alveolar nerves
has an abnormal position interference with the dental implant .
• Poor oral hygiene
• Bruxism or involuntary growing of the teeth .
