Polymer microscopy involves multiple imaging techniques. Speed, simplicity, and productivity are key factors in running an industrial polymer microscopy lab. In polymer science, the morphology of a multi-phase blend is often the link between process and properties. The extent to which the researcher can quantify the morphology determines the strength of the link. To aid the polymer microscopist in these tasks, digital imaging systems are becoming more prevalent. Advances in computers, digital imaging hardware and software, and network technologies have made it possible to implement digital imaging systems in industrial microscopy labs.

ABSTRACT Correction of severe vertical bone deficiency in the posterior region of mandibular alveolar ridge requires surgical management if implants are scheduled and cannot have primary stability. The aim of the present study is to report two cases; one treated with alveolar osteogenesis distraction and the other with segmental osteotomy with autologous graft interposition, by describing the surgical steps as well as show the results and experiences acquired with these techniques. We opted for these methods to reconstruct the posterior mandibular region after remarkable vertical bone loss based mainly by the height and thickness of the remaining bone. Alveolar osteogenic distraction is highly advisable when vertical deficiency is severe, and if these cases are treated with the segmental osteotomy and autologous graft interposition, complications as graft failure, necrosis and resorption are more prone to occur due to insufficient vascularization. After bone maturation and bone neoformation secondary to alveolar osteogenic osteogenic distraction and segmental osteotomy with autologous graft interposition, respectively, the two presented case reports were able to securely receive dental implants. In cases of vertical bone loss of the posterior mandibular region, both surgeries currently represent the best choice for bone gain prior dental implants placement for oral rehabilitation, without technical challenges, although biological evidence to assure the superiority of one technique over the other must be further investigated.

Mandible Fractures

Several nonsurgical and surgical techniques have been employed to treat fractures of the severely atrophic mandible. The aim of this study was to analyze the repair outcome of these fractures. From 2010 to 2016, patients with fractures of the severely atrophic mandible were included. All files were retrospectively studied. Twelve patients (mean age: 76 years; female, n = 8) with a single ( n = 6) or multiple fracture(s) of the atrophic edentulous mandible (mean height was 10.1 mm) were identified. Fracture occurred following trauma ( n = 9), explantation of dental implants ( n = 2), and placing an overdenture bar ( n = 1). In seven cases, consolidation was successful following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using a load-bearing reconstruction plate. In five cases, the initial treatment was different: conservative treatment, using gunning splint, and performing ORIF using miniplates. In all five cases, additional ORIF using a load-bearing reconstruction plate was needed. In four cases, short dental implants were placed several months following fracture repair. In case of a severely atrophic mandibular fracture, the authors advise ORIF with a load-bearing reconstruction plate. In selected cases, secondary oral rehabilitation with short dental implants and implant-supported prosthesis is feasible.

Introduction: The treatment of atrophic jaw fractures requires extensive knowledge by the maxillofacial surgeon. The correct diagnosis and planning optimize the possibility of oral rehabilitation towards many possible alternatives. The difficulty in repairing these fractures makes the treatment complex, in which normally invasive techniques are used. However; which give us satisfactory and predictable aesthetic-functional results. Objective: The objective of this work is to report an atrophic jaw fracture and posterior dental implants rehabilitation. Case report: A 53 years old female patient, victim of in face aggression referred to the emergency care. At the clinical examination, the patient had laceration in the upper lip region and the left side of the mandibular area, with bilateral mobility and paresis. In the oral examination, total lower and partial upper edentulism. After tomographic evaluation, a bilateral fracture of the mandibular body was confirmed, with significant bone fragments uneven. Surgery was performed with total transcervical access and use of reconstruction plate. After 90 days of follow-up, the oral rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants was performed. Conclusion: Complex atrophic mandible fractures in total edentulous patients can be treated with open reduction and stable fixation, allowing a faster return to normal function, improve of quality of life and assists in increasing safety for implant installation.KeywordsEdentulous jaw; Jaw fixation techniques; Dental implants.
