To determine the altered location of the medial lingual nutritional foramina in different stages of bone resorption, 55 cadaveric mandibles were selected for this study from a total of 1532. Prevalence, location of the foramen (lingual, cranial, labial), application of Atwood classification (grades 1–6), and macroanatomic dissections were tools of this examination. An increasing grade of atrophy leads to a shift in position of the medial lingual nutritional foramen.

Insufficient height and width of the alveolar ridge at the implant site remains with inadequate bone volume following extraction in older age people especially in postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women are susceptible to primary osteoporosis where more bone resorption than formation is seen resulting in decreased bone mass. Hence the present study aims to evaluate the zygomatic bone region for placement of quad zygomatic implants using CBCT.: A total of 120 CBCT images of female patients who were between the age group of 45 yrs to 65 yrs were taken. The zygomatic bone was evaluated for pneumatisation zones and thickness of zygomatic bone at three different regions i.e., superior, middle and inferior at nine points on zygoma bone along with bone to implant contact (BIC) region using virtual software. The largest thickness in the superior, middle and inferior regions were at Point A2(8.01+/-2.10 mm), Point B2 (7.01+/-1.62 mm), and Point C1 (6.65+/-1.64 mm), respectively. The virtually placed implants at Point A3 (15.92+/-4.16 mm) and Point B2 (12.02+/-3.62 mm) had the highest BICs. : To obtain the largest BICs, results suggested that the posterosuperior region (Point A3) and the centre of zygoma (Point B1) were the optimal places for the placement of quad zygomatic implants.

Nonresorbable sintered hydroxylapatite (HA) particles are widely used for alveolar ridge augmentation in edentulous patients to support dentures or for filling infrabony defects due to bone resorption in progressive periodontal disease. these particles tend to scatter when implanted with water or saline as the vehicle. studies in our laboratory of different binders to prevent particle scatter during implantation suggested the utility of plaster of paris for this purpose. In most operative procedures the ha/plaster mixtures moistened with water or saline set and harden adequately, especially when a small amount of potassium sulfate has been added to the plaster component to accelerate setting. when the implantation site is bloody or has an excess of tissue fluids, setting of the mixture is considerably slowed if, indeed, the plaster is not actually washed away.

The resorption of the alveolar ridge is an inevitable phenomenon after tooth extraction and continues throughout the lifespan of an individual. Socket preservation, hard and soft tissue augmentation procedures are indicated to compensate alveolar bone resorption. Compensation can also be done by masking with acrylic flanges, pink porcelain and gingival veneers. However, procedures to preserve the bone anticipatory to the loss after extraction should be prioritised. This paper reports a case of fractured non-vital tooth where root submergence technique was done. A follow-up at 6 months presents intact bone aiding in the aesthetics and function of the prosthesis.

This article describes the fabrication of a hollow maxillary complete denture using silicone putty and a double flask technique. A successful complete denture directly depends on retention, stability and support accompanied by good aesthetics. However, in case of atrophic edentulous ridges the challenge lies in the fact that there is a significantly lesser denture bearing area that can lead to a number of problems. The most important of these is an increased interarch space resulting from excessive resorption of upper or lower arch. This can lead to a resulting heavy complete denture that further deteriorates the bone condition due to excessive and continuous load, accelerating bone resorption. Moreover, there is no effective support to deal with any kind of harmful lateral forces and this can lead to dislodgment of the denture. The operator’s efficiency lies in applying the basic principles of fabricating a denture and innovating various steps to counter critical situations. Various methods such as asbestos, silicone putty, modelling clay, thermocol, salt, wax have been used for creating a hollow space inside the denture. Out of the various methods that have been used for fabrication of a hollow space inside a complete denture, silicone putty method is one of the more convenient and accurate method for achieving the objective, thereby rendering a lighter prosthesis. A hollow maxillary denture is highly advantageous as it reduces the weight of acrylic resin, thereby preserving the residual alveolar ridge. It also helps in stability of the denture by indirectly reducing the lateral forces.

ABSTRACT Soon after tooth extraction the bone resorption takes place reducing the height and width of alveolar ridge. This produces an altered morphology of the bone unfavorable for implant placement and implant placement becomes impossible without surgical correction. Socket grafting maintains and preserves ridge for implant placement. How to cite this article Mahesh L, Narayan TV, Bali P, Shukla S.

The loss of alveolar bone volume is a physiological consequence of tooth loss, which if not done carefully preserved and becomes a significant functional and aesthetic risk for the installation of osseointegrated dental implants. The dimensional differences of the alveolar ridge can be attenuated with different graft materials and surgical procedures. The presentation of this case illustrates one of the various surgical techniques to reduce bone resorption and maintain the volume of tissue to be rehabilitated in a more predictable manner and reducing problems in the future, thus increasing the chances of successful rehabilitation osseointegrated dental implant.

ABSTRACT The extraction of teeth results in rapid bone resorption both vertically and horizontally in the first month. The loss of alveolar ridge reduces the chance of implant rehabilitation. The atraumatic extraction, implant placement in extraction socket, and an immediate prosthesis have been proposed as alternative therapies to maintain the volume and contours tissue and reduce time and cost of treatment. Thus, this paper aims to present a clinical case where the extraction was performed using interradicular septum as guide for pilot drill in postextractive implantology with implant placement and immediate provisionalization in a inferior molar. The advantages of this technique are to place the implant exactly in the center of the alveolar ridge, to mantain the edges of the alveolar ridge and reduce postextractive bone resorption, and has great advantages in final prosthetic rehabilitation.

Abstract Global aging population has brought several challenges for their medical systems and total edentulism is one of them. The fabrication of removable acrylic dentures seems to be a simple and cheap treatment solution, but a majority of patients is not satisfied with their functional instability, causing limited diets, mouth soreness, speech and psycho-social problems etc. The results in many studies indicate an impact of oral conditions associated with the full denture wearing on oral-health related quality of life, especially in lower jaw. The reason for improper denture retention could be alveolar ridge bone resorption and numerous studies about this problem are plausible. Bone resorption in lower jaw may turn the alveolar ridge into a flabby soft tissue which is unable to sustain proper denture retention. The implant-retained prosthesis is an alternative treatment option in these situations. Implants will provide retention, stability, function and aesthetics and they are not so expensive solution. The aim of this article is to show solving of retention problems of a lower denture in two different clinical cases using implants and without any special technology.

AbstractThe studies about bone resorption contributed greatly to the advancement of rehabilitation with dental implants and Buccomaxillo facial Surgery and Traumatology. This phenomenon leads to a more superficial localization of the mandibular canal in relation to the alveolar ridge when teeth are lost, limiting and hindering the installation Bone tissue, of implants, as well as other surgical procedures. This anatomical study aimed to analyze and interpret the distances from the mandibular canal to the alveolar ridge, in groups of dentate individuals and toothless, comparing them statistically, so 20 adult male cadavers divided into two groups, namely group A, formed by 10 dentate and group B, consisting of 10 toothless individuals. All their teeth were dissected and then, were checked the measurements of the distances between the roof of the mandibular canal and the alveolar ridge. The averages found were enlightening to say that bone resorption has consequences for treatment and surgery for dental implants, due to the decreasing bone support for the implantation and other surgical procedures, increasing the risk of injury to the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle.
