Abstract

PURPOSE:To introduce a proof of concept technique and new integrated workflow to optimize the functional and esthetic outcome of the implant-supported restorations by means of a 3-dimensional (3D) facially-driven, digital assisted treatment plan. METHODS:The Smiling Scan technique permits the creation of a virtual dental patient (VDP) showing a broad smile under static conditions. The patient is exposed to a cone beam computed tomography scan (CBCT), displaying a broad smile for the duration of the examination. Intraoral optical surface scanning (IOS) of the dental and soft tissue anatomy or extraoral optical surface scanning (EOS) of the study casts are achieved. The superimposition of the digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) files with standard tessellation language (STL) files is performed using the virtual planning software program permitting the creation of a VDP. CONCLUSIONS:The smiling scan is an effective, easy to use, and low-cost technique to develop a more comprehensive and simplified facially driven computer-assisted treatment plan, allowing a prosthetically driven implant placement and the delivery of an immediate computer aided design (CAD) computer aided manufacturing (CAM) temporary fixed dental prostheses (CAD/CAM technology).

Abstract

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a genetic disorder affecting anatomical structures with an ectodermal origin. The consequent alveolar bone anomalies and lack of teeth require a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitate patients function and esthetics. To avoid bone grafting procedures the application of zygomatic implants was suggested for the upper jaw treatment. The advancements in three-dimensional (3D) radiology and the introduction of digital implant planning software could enhance the approach to zygomatic implants in ED patients. The present case report describes the quad zygomatic implant treatment of the edentulous maxilla of an ED patient by means of computer guided implant surgery. The patient reported previous failure of bone grafting procedures in the upper jaw. The implants were immediately loaded with a screw-retained complete-arch resin prosthesis. The patient was followed up for 1 year with no biological nor mechanical complications reported, but a slight bone resorption in the anterior zone was observed. Zygomatic implants could be a potential alternative treatment to bone grafting in upper jaw and the digital implant planning could enhance the surgical procedure., La displasia ectodérmica (DE) es una enfermedad genética que afecta las estructuras anatómicas de origen ectodérmico. Las consiguientes anomalías del hueso alveolar y la anodoncia requieren un planteamiento multidisciplinario para rehabilitar la función y la estética de los pacientes. Para evitar procedimientos de injerto óseo se sugirió la aplicación de implantes cigomáticos para el tratamiento del maxilar superior. Los avances en radiología tridimensional (3D) y la introducción de software de planificación de implantes digitales podrían mejorar el enfoque de los implantes cigomáticos en los pacientes con displasia ectodérmica. El presente reporte de caso describe el tratamiento con implantes cigomáticos en el maxilar superior edéntulo de un paciente con displasia ectodérmica mediante cirugía de implantes guiada por ordenador. El paciente refirió fracaso de procedimientos de injerto óseo en el maxilar superior. Los implantes se cargaron inmediatamente con una prótesis de resina de arcada completa. El paciente ha sido incluido en un programa de control postoperatorio por 1 año, sin reportarse complicaciones ni biológicas ni mecánicas, siendo el único problema encontrado una ligera reabsorción ósea en la zona anterior. Los implantes cigomáticos podrían ser un posible tratamiento alternativo al injerto óseo en el maxilar superior y la planificación de implantes digitales podría mejorar el procedimiento quirúrgico.

Abstract

Implant abutment connection was described among the main causes of peri-implant bone resorption. The aim of this in vitro study was to test the coupling capacity, the surface modification of a new hybrid connection and the influence of repeated connection activations caused during the main clinical and laboratory phases. A total of 40 implant-abutment screw retained systems with 10°-conical and internal hexagon connection were tested. The connection was screwed, fixed to the universal test machine, removed the screw and a pull-out test was performed. Test was repeated five times in succession. Also Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to detect microscopically surface modification. Analysis of variance and Tukey tests were used for the statistical analysis. Pull-out test reveals a mean value of 131.35 ± 16.52 Newton Centimeter (N·cm). For each single activation, results from first to fifth were: 113.9 ± 13.02, 126.1 ± 12.81, 138.11 ± 15.15, 138.8 ± 11.90 and 140 ± 12.99 N·cm. A statistically significant difference between the measurements and an increase in the removal force was shown. The collected data supports the use of this new type of connection, resulting in a very strong interface between implant and abutment. Also, repeated activation of connection can promote a better coupling of the implant-abutment interface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
