1/2. Resin-ionomer and hybrid-ionomer cements: part II, human clinical and histologic wound healing responses in specific periodontal lesions.Twenty-five subjects with a total of 50 subgingival restorations participated in this study. At the beginning of the investigation, nine teeth that were considered hopeless because of the extent of their pathology were selected for extraction to evaluate histologically the restorations and their effect on the adjacent tissues. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the responses to the clinical applications as well as to the placement of resin-ionomers in subgingival lesions. Clinical and histologic evidence of epithelial and connective tissue adherence to resin-ionomer restorative materials was observed during the healing process.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. rehabilitation of a bulimic patient using endosteal implants.This article describes the dental rehabilitation of a bulimic patient using endosteal implants. Although the patient, a 31-year-old woman with a long history of bulimia nervosa, had been receiving medical and psychological treatment, the condition was not completely controlled. Clinical examination revealed multiple crowns with extensive cervical caries. The prognosis for all remaining teeth was poor. After extractions, implant therapy was implemented to provide support for fixed prostheses. After the implants were uncovered and during provisional therapy, the peri-implant tissue exhibited inflammation and lack of keratinized tissue requiring additional periodontal procedures before definitive restorations could be placed. Because of the difficulty in managing the peri-implant tissue during the many phases of implant therapy, treatment was challenging. One year after treatment, the patient's low self-esteem had improved substantially and her restorations provided satisfactory esthetics and function.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
