Reviving Vision: A Case Report of Prosthetic Eye Restoration.

Prosthetic eye implantation is a significant intervention for individuals facing ocular trauma or congenital defects. We present the case of an eight-year-old boy who underwent prosthetic eye implantation following enucleation due to a severe injury. The patient had suffered from impaired vision and psychological distress due to the visible absence of his natural eye. The prosthetic eye not only restored his facial symmetry but also revitalized his self-esteem and confidence. This case report highlights the successful outcome of prosthetic eye implantation in pediatric patients and underscores the importance of addressing both physical and psychological aspects of ocular trauma in young individuals.

Less Is More: A Case Report on All-on-4 Prosthesis.

Severe alveolar ridge atrophy following tooth removal poses a common and worsening issue in edentulous jaws, affecting patient comfort and quality of life. The All-on-4 approach involves axially positioning two anterior implants and distally orienting two posterior implants, reducing cantilever length and enabling prostheses with 12 teeth. This less invasive option, utilizing distal tilting of implants at 30°, offers biomechanical advantages and has shown short-term success, though long-term research is limited. Immediate-loading treatments are gaining popularity for their high survival rates. Understanding the biomechanics of implant-supported prostheses is crucial for long-term success, emphasizing the importance of optimal occlusal schemes. Challenges such as bone defects and surgical complexity have led to the exploration of achieving full-arch fixed restorations with fewer implants, building upon Brånemark's early work with four implants. The All-on-4 concept, originating in 1999, proves to be a viable treatment option, providing excellent long-term results and improved load distribution in challenging clinical circumstances. This case report explores the successful rehabilitation of a jaw using the All-on-4 implant prosthesis concept, a technique strategically placing four implants in completely edentulous jaws to support a fixed, immediately loaded prosthesis.

Prosthetic Rehabilitation of All-on-Six Implant-Supported Prosthesis: A Case Report.

This clinical report explores the effectiveness of dental implants for rehabilitating fully edentulous arches, with a focus on the all-on-six treatment approach. Implant-supported fixed restorations, particularly using six implants, are presented as an expected and cost-effective solution for the rapid repair of the edentulous patient, avoiding the need for bone grafting. This report details the successful rehabilitation of a patient's completely edentulous arches using the all-on-six concept, highlighting the meticulous planning and execution involved. It concludes that precise diagnostic and implant planning, along with thorough attention to all the features, is crucial for successful implant-supported fixed prostheses, with the all-on-six concept offering improved clinical and radiological outcomes for atrophied maxillae.

Porcelain Laminate Veneers: A Case Report.

One of the most crucial issues in modern dentistry is restoring a patient's lost dental aesthetic appearance. To do this, new therapeutic tools and techniques have been appearing on the market day by day. For anterior teeth, where aesthetics are extremely essential, the majority of dentists prefer more conservative and aesthetic treatments, such as direct and indirect laminate veneer restorations over full-ceramic crowns. The meteoric emergence of veneers has been one of dentistry's most successful innovations. It is a coating of tooth-coloured material that is put to a tooth to aesthetically restore any intrinsic discoloration or localised or generalised abnormalities. Any restoration work ought to be created using mechanical, biological, and aesthetic criteria. Patients may experience significant aesthetic issues as a result of the colour, form and structural and positional anomalies of their anterior teeth. This is a report depicting a case of porcelain laminate veneers using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM).

Unveiling the Realm of Denture Fabrication: Revitalizing Aesthetics and Optimizing Efficiency for Geriatric Patients.

Disfigurement of the face has a significant impact not only on the appearance and function but also on the psychological well-being of an individual. Due to tooth loss, various psychological problems can occur. Dentures can help patients regain a sense of normalcy and also boost their confidence to live in society. Complete denture restores phonetics, esthetics, and mastication. A 63-year-old male patient reported to the Department of Prosthodontics with the chief complaint of total loss of teeth and wanted to get treated for the same. The purpose of this article is to describe changes in impression techniques, dental material, methodologies in teeth setting, and novel approaches to enhance the esthetics to optimize the results in a final complete denture. To reestablish the patient's masticatory, apparatus steps of complete denture fabrication were revisited accompanied by the modern application of innovative techniques with the base of historical concept.
