Treatment modalities for single missing teeth in a Turkish subpopulation: an implant, fixed partial denture, or no restoration

A 62-year-old male patient sought treatment for missing maxillary teeth. A diagnostic cast demonstrated that the interocclusal distance was insufficient. A five-unit screw-retained implant-supported fixed partial denture (FPD) was used to restore missing maxillary teeth. The restoration of multiple missing teeth using an implant-supported FPD is challenging when the interocclusal distance is limited due to lack of retention and inadequate esthetics. In this case, a hexagonal, screw-retained, and sublingually located titanium-based zirconia implant-supported FPD with a conical abutment base was used for restoration to overcome the limited interocclusal distance. This implant-supported FPD, consisting of CAD/CAM-designed monolithic zirconia cemented to a titanium bonding base in the laboratory, is expected to facilitate predictable retention and adequate esthetics as well as provide ease of retrieval.

Minimal Reduction

In long-span fixed partial denture restoration, especially when pier abutment is present, a non-rigid connector as a stress breaker is indicated. The Non-rigid connector is classified into a dovetail, loop connector, split pontic, cross-pin, and wing. Split pontic is an attachment placed entirely inside the pontic, particularly indicated in the tilted abutment case, to prevent the box preparation of distal pier abutment. This case report presents A pier abutment case treated with long span porcelain fused to the metal fixed movable bridge using dovetail shaped attachment, assembling the split pontic as a non-rigid connector. Split pontic acts as the stress breaker to prevent the pier abutment acts as a fulcrum. Split pontic also transfers the shear stress to the alveolar bone, minimalizes the mesiodistal torquing of the abutment teeth, and enables individual tooth movement. The advantages of this design are preparation with minimal reduction and better esthetic outcome as the porcelain build up can be done. Thus, there is no metal exposure of the restoration. Longevity and success of fixed partial denture restoration depend on the size, shape, type, and connector position. In pier abutment cases, a non-rigid connector must be considered one of the treatment choices to restore the missing teeth and preserve the abutments.KEYWORDS: pier abutment, split pontic, non-rigid connector

Background: Teeth discoloration is one of the most common problems among individuals nowadays. It can be caused by a variety of circumstances and can result in cosmetic problems as well as low self-esteem and dental caries. Hence the present was conducted to investigate the correlation between the severity of Black stains and the prevalence of caries, number of missing teeth, crowns, restorations, and Endodontically-treated teeth in adult patients at Riyadh Elm University Dental Clinics. Materials and Methods: The study consisted of 84 participants with age ranging from 18 to 60 years, with no gender preference. The subjects included in the study had not received any professional teeth scaling and polishing at least 6 months prior to the examination. Participants with an anterior fixed partial denture or any kind of restoration anteriorly with more than two incisors crowns or more than two missing incisors for each quadrant were excluded. Clinical examination was done by the single investigator who was calibrated by practicing it on 5 patients. Results: In the present study majority 64 (76.2%) of the participants aged between 18-32yrs, more than half 50 (59.5%) of them were male and the rest of them were female 34 (40.5%). A high percentage of subjects 34 (40.5%) were having a university level of education. Age, gender showed significant association with Intensity, extensity and composite scores of stains (p<0.05). Income was associated statistically significantly with extensity of stains (p<0.05). A correlation was found between the patient decayed teeth number and stains; however, this relation wasn’t statistically significant. The study found that endodontically treated teeth had a statistically significant link between its number increase and the extent and intensity of stains. Conclusion: From the present study it was concluded that age and gender was statistically associated with intensity, extensity and composite scores and income also had an impact on extensity of stains. More investigation is recommended to gain more understanding of the correlations of dark stains.

Level Of Significance

Objectives: This study was carried out to assess the clinical evaluation of thepreference for prosthodontics treatment modalities in the patients visiting at the Welfare OPD,Isra Dental College, Hyderabad. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Welfare OPD,Department of Prosthodontics at Isra Dental College, Hyderabad. Period: Six months, from Jan,2016 to June, 2016. Materials and Methods: The study comprised of 191 patients belongingto both genders ranging in age from 10 years to the 60+ years, divided into six groups. Dataanalysis by distribution was performed according to the various kinds of prosthesis, includingremovable partial denture, removable complete denture, fixed partial denture, repair of RPD,immediate denture, lower CD & upper PD, obturator, upper CD & lower PD, relining of dentures,splints, over denture and provisional restorations. Data was analyzed via SPSS version 21.Descriptive statistics such as percentage, frequency distribution, cross tabulation and descriptivewere included in Data analysis. The level of significance was set at <0.05%. Results: This studyrevealed that the most of the patients were fell in group IV (41-50 years), which represents28.3% and the most common treatment were given RPD restoration (49.2%), followed by FPD(22.5%). Majority of the patients were prefer the RPD as 32 (34.0%) and 27 (28.7%) from the agegroup IV and III respectively while 13 (13.8%) patients were prefer RPD and 13 (30.8%) patientswere prefer FPD from the age group II. Out of 191 patients, 47 (50.0%) Males and 47 (50.0%)Females as well prefer the RPD while 26 (60.5%) females and 17 (39.5%) males were preferFPD as treatment modalities. Younger female patients preferred the FPD while with the increaseof age both genders prefer removable prosthesis. Conclusion: This study concludes that inthe treatment modalities, mostly patients preferred the removable partial denture, provisionalrestorations and removable complete denture. Younger patients preferred fixed partial dentureand removable partial denture as well.

Ceramic Restorations

In modern dentistry, fibre-reinforced fixed dental prostheses are considered a useful alternative to classical metal-ceramic restorations. This method allows a conservative approach for replacing missing teeth that overcomes some of the drawbacks of conventional prostheses. Our patient required extraction of tooth #46 because of an apical lesion of the mesial root, and underwent extraction by hemisection. After healing, using the superior properties of the combined fibre/composite, an adhesive bridge restoration was applied with support from the distal root of tooth #46 and teeth #45 and #47.

Missing Tooth

Adhesive bridge is a fixed partial denture that consisted of pontic and cast metal framework retainer that cementedto abutment teeth by means of adhesive cement, used acid etch technique. Adhesive bridge can be used to replaceone or two anterior or posterior teeth. This case report focused on the making of adhesive bridge in anterior andposterior single missing tooth. By minimal preparation and unanesthesied teeth, patient satisfaction could beachieved. Treatment should be done as patient needed with the adequate clinical technique and specific materialmanipulation.
