RESUMO
PURPOSE: Solid one-piece standard and conical abutments, which do not involve the external implant hex when seated, have been designed. The present clinical study represents a 1-year follow-up of the use of these abutments for anchorage of implant-supported fixed prostheses for oral rehabilitation of 36 completely and eight partially edentulous patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After 1 year of loading, the implant-supported dentures were removed, and the seating of the 214 one-piece abutments was inspected clinically and radiographically. RESULTS: After 1 year of loading, no loose abutments were observed. One complication was reported; it involved fracture of two abutment screws within the same fixed denture. Prosthesis mobility and gold screw loosening accompanied this complication. Ninety-one percent of the patients exhibited healthy gingiva, and 9% showed erythema/edema. No periimplantitis was identified. CONCLUSION: The results of this study--healthy marginal tissue, a mean bone loss of 0.3+/-0.6 mm, and no abutment retightening 1 year after loading--support the use of the one-piece abutment design in implant-supported screw-retained restorations.

Children with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) run an increased risk of infection when swimming. In CAPD, the catheter and transfer set are the lifeline and must be kept free of contaminants. Children receiving CAPD treatments were given the opportunity to go swimming by using a pouching system. Instructions were given by both the enterostomal therapist and pediatric dialysis nurse. No cases of infection, peritonitis, or leakage developed with this system.
