Diseased Part

Advances in dentistry, as well as the increased desire of patients to maintain their dentition, have led to treatment of teeth that once would have been removed. Mandibular first molars are the most commonly extracted teeth due to dental caries and periodontal disease. These teeth are the major standpoint for occlusion, and also have a wide pericemental area. Hence, any defect in the root either mesial or distal, extraction is the most common treatment planned. Under specific conditions, only the diseased part of the tooth can be extracted after an endodontic treatment. A modified fixed partial denture design is fabricated to splint the remaining portion of the tooth to adjacent teeth. This procedure though daunting can be easily achieved and maintained successfully.

Bodily Movements

ABSTRACT If essential care is thorough, teeth with extensive orthodontically induced dental resorption can have the same endurance as normal teeth. These teeth are subjected to the same disturbances as normal ones, such as dental trauma, dental caries and periodontal disease, all of which are independent of severe dental resorption. Orthodontic retreatments of teeth presenting with extensive orthodontically induced dental resorption must take into consideration that these roots are shorter in length, therefore, they are more prone to root resorption. Conventional movements are not viable in severe resorption, but Orthodontics offer some alternatives, such as; 1) movement of multiple teeth, providing better distribution of force; 2) use of lesser forces along with bodily movements, as opposed to rotation; 3) anchorage using miniplates, which provide more diffuse and equally distributed force and movements upon teeth and bone. Extensive orthodontically induced dental resorption are not an indication for endodontic treatment. These teeth also should not be replaced by osseointegrated dental implants, but they must receive special care, as they must remain in the dental arch indefinitely.

Patient Reported ◽

Maxillary Region

OBJECTIVE: This report aimed to present a case of functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of anterior maxillary region through dentogingival prosthesis in a patient with high smile line.CASE DESCRIPTION: Patient female, 65 years old, had aesthetic complaints related to fixed partial denture from upper left canine to upper right lateral incisor. The patient reported loss of upper central incisors due to periodontal disease progression. Clinical and radiographic examination showed marginal leakage, discrepancy in teeth proportion, dental inclination and alignment, and excessive prolongation of the cervical-incisal direction, plus a resorbed alveolar ridge, in both volume and height, in the described area. Faced with these conditions, it was decided to perform a fixed partial dentogingival denture, restoring harmony and smile functionality.CONCLUSION: After a 1-year follow up, maintenance of functional and aesthetic aspects of the prosthesis was observed.

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.

Detailed Questionnaire

Introduction: Any dental prosthesis that is luted, screwed, or mechanically attached or otherwise securely retained to natural teeth, tooth roots, and/or dental implants/abutments that furnish the primary support for the dental prosthesis and restoring teeth in a partially edentulous arch; the patient cannot remove it. There are three main types of failures Biologic failure, mechanical failure and aesthetic failure. Clinical failure may occur during or after xed prosthodontic treatment procedure. Failure and complications associated with xed prostheses include, but not limited to the loss of retention, caries, endodontic complications, periodontal disease, tooth fracture or porcelain fracture, and unsatisfactory esthetics of the prosthesis. When a crown or Fixed Partial Introduction Dentures (FPD) fails, the primary question is whether the problem can be easily resolved, or requires extensive rehabilitation and reconstruction. A mild failure may be considered one that is generally correctable without having to remake the restoration. Aim: To evaluate the post-operative complaints of patients having crowns & xed partial dentures by means of a simple questionnaire & clinical examination. Material & Methods: A total of 190 patients satisfying the criteria for inclusion in this study were identied. Forty seven of these patients could not be reached, Out of 143 patients who were contacted & 110 responded positively, the rest were not able to avail themselves for review due to various reasons. 100 subjects wearing xed partial denture either anterior or posterior three Unit Bridge or crowns were selected randomly out of 110 patients. The Study was conducted with detailed questionnaire and was planned to get patients response. The questionnaire was divided into 4 parts which included. Results: There was a statistically signicant / highly signicant difference seen for the frequencies between the groups (p<0.01, 0.05) For frequent Dislodgement with higher frequency for yes with position 2 (maxillary posterior) and 4 (mandibular posterior) There was a statistically nonsignicant difference seen for the frequencies between the groups (p>0.05) for all other questions
