Implant dentistry has seen rapid progress in recent years leading to its application as standard treatment modalities. While selecting treatment plan, bone mapping and selection of implant is very essential for a successful implant practice. In case of an atrophic ridge where bone height is less, then selection of short implant could be a good treatment alternative, as it is a conservative treatment option because it prevents the need of sinus lift, alveolar nerve repositioning, and bone grafting. This article will discuss about how? when to use short implants along with their advantages, disadvantages of short implants in details.

Introduction. If patients have remained only a few teeth in one jaw, these teeth can be retained and specifically prepared to bear mobile supradental prosthesis i.e. overdenture (OD). The patients are usually very motivated to preserve remained teeth. The aim of this study was to present the plan, the preparation procedure and the treatment protocol for the remaining teeth that will bear full mobile OD. Material and Methods. Study included 12 patients and 23 remaining teeth. Treatment plan considered: radiological analysis and selection of the remaining teeth, reduction of the clinical crown of the teeth, endodontic and periodontal treatment and finally conservative or prosthodontic restoration of these teeth. Fifteen teeth were restored using cast crown build-up (cap) and eight teeth were restored with amalgam restorations. Patients who received twelve lower mobile full OD were observed for one year to assess the integrity of the extra alveolar tooth structure. Results. After observation period of one year, the integrity of crown restorations was maintained as well as the alveolar bone height. Conclusion. The restoration of the remaining teeth using cast crown build-up (cap) and amalgam is very important for maintaining extra alveolar tooth structure and successful treatment with overdentures.

The treatment of metastatic spinal cord compression is complex. The three treatment modalities that are currently applied (in a histologically non-specific manner) are surgery, radiotherapy and the administration of steroids. The development of new spinal instrumentations and surgical approaches considerably changed the extent of therapeutic options in this field. These new surgical techniques have made it possible to resect these tumours totally, with subsequent vertebral reconstruction and spinal stabilization. In this respect, it is important to clearly identify those patients who can benefit from such an extensive surgery. We present our management algorithm to help select patients for surgery and at the same time identifying those for whom primary non-surgical therapy would be indicated. The retrospective review of surgically treated patients in our department in the last four years reveals a meagre application of conventional guidelines for the selection of the appropriate operative approach in the surgical management of these patients. The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

Vasculopathies are frequently associated with neurofibromatosis type-1, and they are generally occlusive or stenotic type lesions. Vertebral arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is quite rare in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients. They can be treated with surgical excision or endovascular occlusion. We describe a surgically treated cervical AVF in a neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) patient and discuss the selection of the patient for the surgery. Although endovascular occlusion is the first line treatment option for cervical AVFs, some selected cases can be successfully treated by surgery. Surgery should be considered as a treatment option in spite of its risks, especially for cervical AVF which is associated with fibromuscular system diseases like NF-1.

The present review aimed to evaluate the impact of implant length on failure rates between short (<10 mm) and long (≥10 mm) dental implants. An electronic search was undertaken in three databases, as well as a manual search of journals. Implant failure was the outcome evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed in addition to a meta-regression in order to verify how the risk ratio (RR) was associated with the follow-up time. The review included 353 publications. Altogether, there were 25,490 short and 159,435 long implants. Pairwise meta-analysis showed that short implants had a higher failure risk than long implants (RR 2.437, p < 0.001). There was a decrease in the probability of implant failure with longer implants when implants of different length groups were compared. A sensitivity analysis, which plotted together only studies with follow-up times of 7 years or less, resulted in an estimated increase of 0.6 in RR for every additional month of follow-up. In conclusion, short implants showed a 2.5 times higher risk of failure than long implants. Implant failure is multifactorial, and the implant length is only one of the many factors contributing to the loss of an implant. A good treatment plan and the patient’s general health should be taken into account when planning for an implant treatment.

Background : The Indian population shows an extensive range of gingival pigmentation. A detailed description of the gingival pigmentation pattern would provide data for the formulation of an efficient plan for depigmentation. This article gives a novel comprehensive classification to aid in the precise assessment of the pattern and distribution of gingival pigmentation and decision regarding the methods for depigmentation. Methods : Previously existing, established indices and classifications for degree of pigmentation, facial complexion, smile line, lip colour and their modifications were used to differentiate various categories of Esthetics: Esthetic, Unaesthetic-mild, Unaesthetic-severe. Treatment needs were formulated based on the category of Esthetics. Results : The various categories of esthetics include E (Esthetic), M (Unaesthetic-Mild), N (UnaestheticSevere) and specific treatment modalities have been assigned based on the treatment needs. Discussion : The treatment for gingival pigmentation should be based on overall facial esthetics. The classification given in this article takes into consideration the components of facial esthetics: Facial Pigmentation, Degree and distribution of gingival pigmentation, smile line and lip colour. The treatment plan proposed considers the need for the treatment and the possible treatment for each category of esthetics. Conclusion : The classification proposed in this article attempts a complete coverage of combinations of facial esthetic components and the Treatment Index encompasses all the possible treatment modalities for each combination. Although a learning curve might exist, once mastered, the classification and treatment index would serve as a baseline for determining treatment needs in patients with gingival pigmentation.

Mandibular full-arch restoration is a good and successful treatment option for totally edentulous patients. In the past years, several studies have described the placement of 4 to 6 implants to restore this type of case; however, an option using 3 dental implants placed in strategic and specific positions could also be an alternative. Therefore, this case report describes a full-arch rehabilitation on 3 straight, immediately loaded implants after 8 years of follow-up. The restoration presented no biological or technical complications during this follow-up period, showing that an adequate treatment plan was able to allow good results using this treatment option.

Several treatment modalities have been proposed to regenerate bone, including guided bone regeneration (GBR) where barrier membranes play an important role by isolating soft tissue and allowing bone to grow. Not all membranes biologically behave the same way, as they differ from their origin and structure, with reflections on their mechanical properties and on their clinical performance. Collagen membranes have been widely used in medicine and dentistry, because of their high biocompatibility and capability of promoting wound healing. Recently, collagen membranes have been applied in guided bone regeneration with comparable outcomes to non-resorbable membranes. Aim of this work is to provide a review on the main features, application, outcomes, and clinical employment of the different types of collagen membranes. Comparisons with non-resorbable membranes are clarified, characteristics of cross-linked collagen versus native collagen, use of different grafting materials and need for membrane fixation are explored in order to gain awareness of the indications and limits and to be able to choose the right membrane required by the clinical condition.
