ABSTRACT Connectors are the components of fixed dental prosthesis that join the individual retainers and pontics together. Connectors may be rigid or nonrigid. Loop connector is a type of rigid connector, indicated primarily when an existing diastema is to be maintained in a planned fixed prosthesis. Such cases can be treated with an implant supported prosthesis or a fixed prosthesis using a loop connector. In case of loop connector, the connector is in the form of a loop on the lingual aspect of the prosthesis that connects the adjacent retainer and pontic. Similarly, loop connector can also be used in the mandibular anterior region for replacement of central incisors, using canines as abutments rather than mandibular laterals which usually have compromised bone support. There are many reports in literature describing the use of a loop connector in the maxillary anterior sextant. But, there are seldom reports about the use of a loop connector in the mandibular anterior region. This case report describes the use of a mandibular loop connector for the replacement of mandibular teeth where the adjacent teeth are periodontally compromised.

Dentistry is an ever evolving science. With the advancements in the field of bonding techniques and also in the tooth preparation methods, the use of Resin bonded fixed dental prostheses is becoming a treatment of choice for small posterior edentulous spans.

Restoring a partially edentulous jaw with implant-supported prosthesis is a challenge. The clinical outcome will be satisfactory only when both the surgical phase as well as the prosthetic phase are planned in advance and executed while keeping in mind the aesthetic and functional necessities. In this case report we describe the steps in successfully restoring the edentulous space with implant supported FP1 prosthesis. The sequential steps that were followed in the prosthetic phase has been described in detail. From the satisfactory outcome of the case, it can be concluded that proper evaluation, prosthetically driven treatment planning and correct execution of the plan would ensure good predictability of the implant-supported prosthesis.

ABSTRACT The use of overdenture abutments under removable partial dentures to preserve alveolar bone and provide support is well established, but there is little evidence of their use under fixed partial dentures. There exist a variety of clinical situations in which teeth or roots with questionable prognosis cannot be utilized as abutments for fixed partial dentures. In such situations these teeth/roots can be preserved under fixed prosthesis to provide vertical support and delay bone loss. The following report describes technical considerations, advantages and limitations of this treatment modality.

AbstractAn endodontically treated teeth should have a good prognosis. It can resume full function and serve satisfactorily as an abutment for a fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) or a removable partial dental prosthesis. However, special techniques are needed to restore such a tooth. There are various techniques of post and core advocated in the literature. This case report presents the restoration of highly mutilated endodontically treated multi-rooted teeth using customized interlocking post and core technique.

Various precision attachment systems are available for tooth supported overdenture treatment modality. The objective of all the systems is to provide retention and support for the overdenture. Retention of a mandibular denture can be achieved by natural tooth-retained with bar and stud attachment in anterior region. A simple and cost effective treatment for a more complex implant overdenture is the concept of conventional tooth-retained overdentures. The present clinical report describes a patient treated with customized hader bar with coffee straw in mandibular tooth-borne overdenture.

Management of one or more failing distal implants in an implant supported fixed prosthesis in a completely edentulous maxilla creates a challenging situation. Restoring immediate function with additional implants in such a situation can be a challenge considering the loss of supporting bone, need for grafting, age, and the patient's desire for immediate fixed dental prosthesis. This clinical report describes a situation where a zygomatic implant has been placed unilaterally and splinted with osseointegrated conventional implants by an immediate fixed provisional restoration.
