[Aspects of complex oral rehabilitation with oral osseointegrated implants]. / Actualitati în reabilitarea orala complexa cu ajutorul implantelor orale osteointegrate.

Dentists and patients become increasingly aware of the complex and predictible results offered by implant-supported dentures. These alternatives fulfill the demands of modern dentistry to rehabilitate the oral health condition according to the highest standards. A deficient residual crest represents a great challenge for the healing and osseointegration of the implants. Dental implants have an essential effect on stopping bone atrophy in the edentulous crest and preserving its condition. Function and esthetics and the patients comfort can be rehabilitated within normal limits. The prosthetic reconstruction based on osseointegration implants has better long-term prognosis if the therapeutic option is judiciously selected. The risk of relative movements at the bone-implant interface decreases according to the difference in value between the elasticity module of the implant and the bone. Prosthetic reconstruction based on implants has a better long-term prognosis if the therapeutic option is judiciously selected from all possibilities according to the osteointegration of an adequate number of implants.

[Pain and quality of life. Evaluation of oral health]. / Durerea si calitatea vietii. Evaluari în sanatatea orala.

UNLABELLED: Life quality has a major importance in the actual social context. The evaluation af the pain sensation as a stress major factor is difficult regarding the variety of the methods, their relevance and their compliance. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We've made an evaluation concerning the trigeminal essential neuralgia pain using different tipe of parameters. RESULTS: The results obtained proved a scientific and clinical value of the method that we've initiated and applied in these research.

The accuracy of alveolar crest dimensions measurement for dental implants. In vitro study.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of radiological examination methods in quantitative preimplantar bone assessment. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study was carried out on a dry cranium, totally edentate. There have been radiological appreciated the height of the alveolar process and its width, both to the maxilla and the mandible. Also, it has been established the distance between the free edge of the alveolar crest and the superior edge of the mandibular canal. The values radiological measured have then been compared with those obtained through direct measurement of these dimensions on the cranium. RESULTS: The results were performed in tables and diagrams. The greatest deviation from the real values was at the panoramic radiography, while the computer tomography was the most accurate examination among the radiological techniques used in this study. The panoramic radiography doesn't give information about the alveolar crest thickness, about it's declivity and the alveolar crest measurement generates significant errors. Linear tomography implies a difficult technique, but it has the advantage of a low irradiation,a wider accessibility and a lower cost than the CT. Computer tomography is the most accurate preimplantar evaluation technique but it has the disadvantage of a high patient radiation. CONCLUSIONS: The panoramic radiography represents an insufficient method for appreciating the preimplantar bone status. That's why it has to be supplemented with other radiological examinations, especially at the cases with alveolar crest atrophy, to avoid accidental penetration of adjacent structures.
