Prospective evaluation of immediate and delayed provisional single tooth restorations.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was 2-fold: to determine whether there is a significant difference in the hard and soft tissue response comparing immediate with delayed implant placement after tooth removal, with immediate provisionalization, in ... Read more...

Fixed rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla: possibilities and clinical outcome.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of the present report was to describe the different treatment approaches available for fixed rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla in the presence of varying hard and soft tissue conditions and to review the clinical outcome of ... Read more...

A novel approach to palatomaxillary reconstruction: use of radial forearm free tissue transfer combined with zygomaticus implants.

30 Oct 2009 Pathologic resections involving the maxilla/hemimaxilla offer a unique reconstructive challenge to the maxillofacial reconstructive surgeon. Traditionally, reconstruction and replacement of lost tissues have been achieved with a variety of methods ... Read more...
