Pain of the tempro-mandibular joint (TMJ) has a direct bearing to missing teeth and excessive physical activity. Consumption of qat requires chewing on the leaves to extract their juice for long hours. A 65-year-old male Yemeni patient, a Qat chewer, reported to the university dental hospital at King Khalid University complaining of pain in left temporomandibular joint with missing mandibular anterior teeth. A multidisciplinary approach for the overall treatment of the patient was decided. Initial treatment was the relief of patient’s pain with the help of a night guard. This was followed by a fabrication of anterior FPD. The case was under maintenance and follow-up protocol for a period of 8 months with no complaint of pain discomfort.

Bone-anchored titanium implants are being used increasingly to provide support for prostheses replacing missing teeth in edentulous and partially dentate patients. A technique is required to monitor bone formation at the implant-tissue interface during healing, and also to check whether there has been bone loss from around the top of the implant. One possible method is to screw a beam into the implanted fixture and to measure the first flexural resonance frequency of the resulting system. This resonance frequency is affected by both the exposed length of fixture and the stiffness of the interface between the implant and the bone. This paper describes the design of a beam-like transducer for clinical trials of the technique. The sensitivity of the transducer resonance frequency to the changes of interest is dependent on the thickness and length of the beam element. However, the choice of these dimensions is constrained by the need to avoid closely spaced resonances. The performance of different transducer shapes and the influence of the thickness and length of the beam element in the transducer has been studied. The results have been used to finalize a transducer design for the clinical trials.

Background: Metal frame denture design is common used for partially dentate patient, one of the problem was a metal appearance from wrought wire or a metal casting clasp as retainer, which is not really aesthetic. Telescopic overdenture with its double crown will be the best solution for those cases. Purpose: The purpose of this case report was to reported telescopic overdenture design and fabrication where the aesthetic was the main consideration. Case: Sixty years old female patient, a businesswoman, came to Dental Hospital of Universitas Airlangga, complained about her upper partially dentate and 6 years lower fixed partial denture, which is not comfortable to wear and her upper anterior teeth doesn’t look quite good. She wanted to make crowns and removable denture. Case management: After the diagnosis were made, the pretreatment plan were remove crown for the upper jaw, remove the bridges on lower jaw, and transitional dentures were made to maintain the VDO. The crowns and veneer were fabricated and inserted while the inner copings were tried up on prepared teeth. After the the dentures were produced, the inner copings were luted to the abutment teeth, and then the dentures were inserted using FGP (Friction GriP) cement for the friction effect. Discussion: Telescopic overdenture is consists of a double crown system known as “the telescopic”, the procedure involves fitting the remaining natural teeth with inner metal crowns, followed by outer crowns as part of an over denture that can be removed by the patient. Conclusion: This technique ensures that telescopic overdentures give natural aesthetic result.

Managing the demand, prevalence, and the design of partial tooth loss is imperative to recognize the prosthetic necessities of the patients. A factor that may affect prosthodontic work is the patients' awareness of the most advanced technologies in aesthetic dentistry. The choice of prosthetic replacement is largely defined by the patient's choice and budgetary status, accessible technology and expertise, as well as the number of missing teeth. The aim of this study was to identify the preference of treatment choice from implant and FPD for the patients treated at a private dental hospital. The sample size consisted of 1122 patients who had FPDs or implants. The case sheets of patients were obtained from the patient record system. The data of each patient was obtained and tabulated. In our study, 54.46 % of patients were male, 45.45 % of patients were female, and 0.09 % belonged to the transgender population. 3.21 % patients belong to the age group of less than 20 years, 54.06 % patients in the age group 21-40 years, 35.5 % patients in the age group 41-60 years and 7.2 % patients in the age group above 60 years. The overall FPD were 809 across all age groups with the maximum in the age group 21-40 years (40.59%). Overall implants were 312 across all age groups with the maximum at 21-40 years (13.47%). It was concluded that there is a significant difference in the preference of patients opting for implant vs FPD, in which FPD was highly opted by the patients. Although removable partial dentures extended to play a significant role in prosthetic teeth replacement, the use of FPDs and dental implants showed an increase in number.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the prevalence and distribution of hypodontia in the permanent dentition in a sample of Turkish patients who referred to the Ankara Dental Hospital for orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The pre-treatment orthodontic records of 2530 patients, 1382 girls (54.62%) and 1148 boys (45.38%) between the chronological ages of 7 and 16 years, were examined for evidence of hypodontia. The third molars were excluded in this study. Results: The prevalence of hypodontia in the inspected population was 5% (3.05% for girls, 1.95% for boys). The average number of the congenitally missing teeth per patient was 2.03 (1.08 for girls, 0.95 for boys). The prevalence of the congenitally missing permanent teeth was 34% for the upper laterals, 30% for the lower second premolars, 12.5% for the upper second premolars and 23.5% for the other teeth. Most patients with hypodontia (84.9%) (57.13% for girls, 27.77% for boys) had got missing either one tooth (45.23%) or two teeth (39.67%). Conclusions: The prevalence of hypodontia in girls was higher than in boys in this sample of the Turkish patients. The upper laterals and lower second premolars were consecutively the most symmetrically absent teeth. The prevalence of advanced hypodontia was lower than single and symmetrical hypodontia.

Introduction: Hypodontia or Dental agenesis; is defined as a developmental missing of any teeth, excluding the last molars. It may befall as a genetic syndrome or as a non-syndromic isolated trait. However, there is no prevalence available in our city. Aim and Objectives: The tenacity of this research is to assess the frequency of hypodontia among the population who received dental care at King Abdul Aziz University Dental Hospital in the city of Jeddah. Study Design:  Retrospective digital orthopantomographic: cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Oral & Maxillofacial Prosthodontic Department, King Abdulaziz University, between January 2019 and July 2020. Methodology: This research is a retrospective cross-sectional study based on the examination of an archival dental record and 2D panoramic radiographs of patients who are presented at King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital, Jeddah. A total of 2045 records were reviewed and included in this study. Two general practitioners reviewed patient’s dental charts looking for congenital missing tooth/teeth in a dark room by the method that the practitioners use. Careful reviews of each patient’s record were done to ensure that the cause of the missing tooth/teeth were congenital and not surgical or traumatic. Data were gathered from dental records of patients’ age period 6-9 years since most of the dental follicle of the permanent teeth should be completed or the tooth just erupts, radiographic findings were always compared to the patients’ file and progress notes to ensure the causative factors of missing teeth. The data were recorded in an excel sheet which included gender, age, the type, area and counting of the missing teeth. Results: After collecting the data, the total number of patients after exclusion were 1984. The prevalence of hypodontia in our tested population was %5.39. Statistical analysis were done by using SPSS software to correlate between variables. Varices grades. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study our data shows that the most common congenitally tooth agenesis is the second premolar %47.6 and the second most common congenitally missing tooth is lateral incisor %18.6.

Background: Loss of posterior teeth can lead to disharmony in the curvature of the jaw. Antagonistic teeth and surrounding teeth will migrate to the edentulous causing reduced mastication function and TMJ disturbance. Several cases of narrow edentulous occurred due to tooth shifting caused by edentulous that was left empty for a long period. Creating a fixed-fixed bridge is aimed to restore the aesthetics, function, and comfort for patients which caused by the missing teeth. Fixed-fixed bridge consist of a retainer that function as a support to the abutment; a pontic that function to replace the missing tooth; and a connector that function to connect the pontic and the retainer. A narrow space for pontics can disrupt the aesthetic and functional aspects. Case Report: A 24 year-old male patient was referred to Prosthodontic Clinic, Gusti Hasan Aman Dental Hospital with a complain of pain on the jaw joint and missing of left lower molar for about 5 years. Patient always masticate on one side after the left lower molar was missing. Extraoral examination found the patient to be in good condition, no enlargement of major salivary glands, the vital signs were good, but upon TMJ examination there was clicking sounds on the left side. Intraoral examination showed space narrowing resulted from mesial and distal drifting of 37 and 35 but not significant, therefore it was still possible to perform rehabilitation using fixed-fixed bridge with abutments on 37 and 35 with modification of pontic shape for 36 to resemble a premolar tooth with occlusal surface resembling a molar tooth. Treatment planning for fixed prosthetic using fixed-fixed bridge with porcelain fused to metal material on 35, 36, and 37 with ridge lap pontic type modification Conclusions: Treatment was successful to provide enough space for the pontic by modification of the shape and the size of the pontic. Keywords: Fixed-fixed bridge. lack of space, mastication.

INTRODUCTION The Faculty of Dental Surgery, The Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSE), published a national guideline document in 1997 detailing specific selection criteria for National Health Service (NHS) funded dental implant treatment. The aim of this audit was to assess whether patients selected for NHS-funded dental implants at Bristol Dental Hospital (BDH) met the RCSE national criteria for treatment and received funding from their primary care trust (PCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective audit over a period of 2 years was undertaken using medical records and an existing Microsoft Excel database. All patients who had an application submitted to their local PCT for NHS-funded dental implants by BDH were included in this audit. RESULTS A total of 82 applications for dental implant funding were made by BDH and 100% met the RCSE criteria. Fifty-one patients (62.2%) in total had their application for funding approved. Thirty-one patients (37.8%) that met the RCSE guidelines for NHS-funded dental implant treatment had their applications refused. Twenty-five (49%) out of 51 cases in the partially dentate category and six (27.3%) cases in the edentulous group were unsuccessful in their application for NHS-funded dental implants. However, all applications for patients with acquired maxillofacial defects were successful. CONCLUSIONS Patient selection by the BDH for NHS-funded implants complied with the RCSE guidelines. However, there was significant variation in funding between PCTs for those patients who apparently fulfilled the RCSE guidelines. NHS resources are not being allocated equitably for dental implant ‘high-priority’ patients and it would appear that a so-called ‘postcode lottery’ exists between PCTs.
