The Gothic arch tracing method using a Gothic arch tracer which is one of the centric relation recording methods can reproduce mandibular movement more accurately by describing the path of mandibular curvilinear motion. This case reports that we have satisfactory results by recording reproducible centric relation using a gothic arch tracing method in a patient who has difficulty to induce centric relation by operator due to parafunctional movement.

2.Full mouth rehabilitation using monolithic zirconia: a clinical report.
Journal of Dental Rehabilitation and Applied Science 2015;31(4):358-363
Previously, the usage of monolithic zirconia in anterior restoration was limited because of problems such as the monotony of tones and shades which would compromise the outcome of esthetic purpose. Zirconia was merely used as a coping with additional porcelain veneering whereas porcelain chipping cannot be evaded. Recently, with the improvement of monolithic zirconia, the various translucency and tones made it possible to use zirconia for anterior restoration. In this case, a male patient of 63 years old received a full mouth rehabilitation with monolithic zirconia. After a period of time usage, the outcome showed a favorable result functionally and esthetically.

BACKGROUND: This case report discusses the unusual presentation of limited mouth opening as a result of bilateral coronoid process hyperplasia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 14.5-year-old male patient of white Caucasian ethnicity presented with limited mouth opening, mandibular asymmetry, and dental crowding. Investigations confirmed bilateral coronoid process hyperplasia and management involved bilateral intraoral coronoidectomy surgery under general anaesthesia, followed by muscular rehabilitation. Mouth opening was restored to average maximum opening within 4 months of surgery. CONCLUSION: Limited mouth opening is a common presentation to medical and dental professionals. The rare but feasible diagnosis of coronoid impingement syndrome should not be overlooked.

In conventional bar- and clip-retained overdentures, all errors during impression making and cast fabrication result in non-passive fit of bars. SFI bar is prefabricated and assembled in the patient's mouth without the use of soldering, laser welding or conventional bonding techniques, thus reducing stress transmission to, bone loss around the implants and leading to fewer errors and lower costs. A clinical case will be presented below to demonstrate the use of the SFI Bar (Stress Free on Implant Bar) to restore an severe atrophy edentulous maxilla. In this case, no lateral stress could be applied to the implants due to the telescopic design of the bar joints. However, periodic recall check is necessary and long-term clinical results are required.

Prosthodontic decision-making process is done through analysis of clinical information and mutual communication between patient and dentist. When opposing teeth are extruded due to missing tooth or tooth defects, selection of appropriate treatment plan and predictory prognosis can be complicated in functional rehabilitation. In case of severely disharmonious occlusal plane result from extruded teeth, re-establishment of the occlusal plane is required, if necessary via prudent evaluation. In this case, class III patient had unesthetic appearance and mastication discomfort caused by disharmonious occlusal plane due to severe extrusion. Through a structured diagnostic process, appropriate treatment plan was selected. Esthetic and functional results were obtained through from full mouth rehabilitation with re-establishment of the occlusal plane.

An accurate implant placement with ideal location is significant for long-term success of the implant. An exact evaluation of nearby anatomic structures such as quality of residual bone, an inferior alveolar bone and a maxillary sinus is required. For a prosthetic-driven treatment, planned surgery, precise prosthesis and communication with the patient are significant requisites especially for full-mouth rehabilitation. In this case, the patient with severe alveolar bone resorption had a CT guided surgery supported by CT data and the data from scanning diagnostic wax-up. Afterward, edentulous area was restored by full mouth implant-supported prosthesis by using monolithic zirconia and CAD/CAM technique. This paper reports the outcome of the procedure which was remarkable both esthetically and functionally.

Peri-implantitis appears in almost 20% of patients who received implant treatment, and increase in its number is inevitable as time goes by. Although it can be treated by both non-surgical and surgical procedures, in cases which include severe bone loss, explantation and rehabilitation may be necessary. Careful treatment planning and considerations to prevent recurrent peri-implantitis should be taken into account. In the following case presented, a patient with chronic periodontitis and peri-implantitis was successfully rehabilitated after removal of several implants. Extraction and explantation of multiple teeth and implants were followed by full mouth reconstruction with fixed implant prostheses on the mandible and implant retained overdenture on the maxilla. Surgical and prosthetic measures to prevent recurrent peri-implantitis were taken into consideration.

Loss of teeth may not only imply impaired oral function and loss of alveolar bone but is also often accompanied by reduced self-confidence. This results in a larger problem with the fully edentulous patient. The patient introduced in this study showed multiple missing teeth and mobility of remaining teeth and wanted to have fixed dental prosthesis using implants. Remaining teeth were extracted because of periodontally bad prognosis. This article reports a satisfactory clinical and esthetic outcome of full mouth rehabilitation using implant hybrid prosthesis in fully edentulous patient.

Soft liner is used to functional impression technique when dental stone is immediately poured after taking impression because of viscoelasticity. In this case, a 78-year-old male visited for new dentures. Due to severe resorption of mandibular edentulous ridge, functional impression taking by closed mouth technique was planned. First of all, making maxillary and mandibular provisional dentures was done, and lined by soft liner to rehabilitate pressured maxillary and mandibular edentulous ridge. After this, Functional impression was taken by closed mouth technique using provisional dentures which are transformed to healed maxillary and mandibular edentulous ridge, and final denture were fabricated using maxillary provisional denture as a reference of artificial teeth arrangement. Consequently, restoring a complete edentulous patient with taking functional impression using provisional dentures resulted in recovering satisfying retention and function.

PURPOSE: To integrate extra-oral facial scanning information with CAD/CAM complete dentures to immediately rehabilitate terminal dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients with terminal dentition scheduled for total extraction and immediate denture placement were recruited for this study. The patients were submitted to a facial scanning procedure using the in-office PritiMirror scanner with bite registration records in-situ. Definitive stone cast models and bite records were subsequently submitted to a lab scanning procedure using the lab scanner (iSeries DWOS; Dental Wings). The scanned models were used to create a virtual teeth setup of a complete denture. Using the intra-oral bite records as a reference, the virtual setup was incorporated in the facial scan thereby facilitating a virtual clinical evaluation (teeth try-in) phase. After applying necessary adjustments, the virtual setup was submitted to a CAM procedure where a 5-axis industrial milling machine (M7 CNC; Darton AG General) was used to fabricate a full-milled PMMA immediate provisional prosthesis. RESULTS: Total extractions were performed, the dentures were immediately inserted, and subjective clinical fit was evaluated. The immediate provisional prostheses were inserted and clinical fit, occlusion/articulation, and esthetics were subjectively assessed; the results were deemed satisfactory. All provisional prostheses remained three months in function with no notable technical complications. CONCLUSION: Ten patients with terminal dentition were treated using a complete digital approach to fabricate complete dentures using CAD/CAM technology. The proposed technique has the potential to accelerate the rehabilitation procedure starting from immediate denture to final implant-supported prosthesis leading to more predictable functional and aesthetics outcomes.
