Mandibular reconstruction with TMJ prosthesis: management of osteomyelitis after orthognathic surgery (Case Report).

This case report presents a mandible reconstruction with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prothesis for treatment of osteomyelitis infection following a bimaxillary orthognathic and genioplasty surgeries. The patient, a 41-year-old female, presented with facial pain, difficulty in opening her mouth, and mandibular deviation four months after the initial orthognathic surgery. During the four months, the patient had experienced two more surgerys post-operative for treatment of the complications. Examination revealed mobility between osteotomy segments of the right mandibular osteotomomie between body and ramus, and Computer Tomographic scan analysis revealed osteomyelitis and non-union within the osteotomy side of the right mandible from the previous surgery. Due to the advanced state of the disease and significant bone resorption, treatment was planned in two stages, involving bone debridement and then reconstruction with a custom made extended temporomandibular joint prosthesis. The patient had no postoperative complications and achieved satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes. This case emphasizes the importance of careful monitoring and prompt management of postoperative complications following orthognathic surgery to prevent rare but serious complications such as osteomyelitis.

Development of an intervertebral disc prosthesis prototype for the canine cervical spine / Desenvolvimento de um protótipo de prótese de disco intervertebral para a coluna vertebral cervical de cães

Cervical arthroplasty with disc prosthesis has been proposed as a treatment option for dogs with Cervical Spondylomyelopathy. The present study developed a novel vertebral disc prosthesis for dogs. Sixteen Functional Spinal Units (C5-C6) were collected from dog cadavers with body weights ranging between 25 and 35 kg, and their vertebral measurements were used to design a prosthetic disc. The sizing of the prosthesis was performed based on the averages of the measurements of width, height, and length of the vertebral bodies from C5-C6 of all specimens. The prosthesis was developed using the Rhinoceros 3D® and SolidWorks® programs, and 3D prototyping was carried out to define the best design. The developed prosthesis consisted of two independent parts that are fixed to the cranial and caudal vertebral bodies, in the intervertebral space, and fitted together by metal-to-metal surfaces capable of moving in the lateral, ventral, and dorsal directions. Each part of the prosthesis is angled in two portions: vertically, in the intervertebral space, and horizontally, in contact with the ventral surface of the vertebral bodies, both of which are fixed by means of monocortical locking screws. The design of the developed prototype allowed a good fit in the intervertebral space between C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7.

A artroplastia cervical com prótese de disco tem sido proposta como uma opção de tratamento para cães com Espondilomielopatia Cervical. O presente estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver uma nova prótese de disco intervertebral para cães. Dezesseis Unidades Funcionais de Coluna Vertebral (C5-C6) foram coletadas de cadáveres de cães com peso corporal variando entre 25 e 35 kg, e suas medidas vertebrais foram usadas para projetar um disco intervertebral protético. O dimensionamento da prótese foi realizado com base nas médias das mensurações da largura, altura e comprimento dos corpos vertebrais de C5-C6 de todos os espécimes. A prótese foi desenvolvida nos programas Rhinoceros 3D® e SolidWorks® e utilizou-se prototipagem em 3D para a definição do melhor design. A prótese desenvolvida é formada por duas partes independentes que se fixam às espífises dos corpos vertebrais cranial e caudalmente ao espaço intervertebral, e se encaixam entre si por superfícies de metal-metal com capacidade de movimentação nas direções lateral, ventral e dorsal. Cada parte da prótese é angulada em duas porções: a vertical, que fica no espaço intervertebral, e a horizontal, que fica em contato com a superfície ventral dos corpos vertebrais, ambas as quais são fixadas por meio de parafusos bloqueados monocorticais. O design do protótipo desenvolvido permitiu bom encaixe no espaço intervertebral entre C4-C5, C5-C6 e C6-C7.

Influence of ceramic primers on microshear bond strength to zirconia

This study aimed to investigate the effect of two ceramic primers on the microshear bond strength (µSBS) of yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) to two types of self-adhesive resin cement and one BisGMA-based resin cement. Zirconia specimens were sandblasted with 27-µm aluminum oxide and composite cylinders were cemented with resin cement with or without the prior use of ceramic primers. Nine groups (n=12) were randomly distributed according to the cement (self-adhesive RelyX U200/3M ESPE, self-adhesive Maxcem Elite/Kerr, and BisGMA-based dual-cure RelyX ARC/3M ESPE) and ceramic primer (Z-Primer Plus/Bisco and Porcelain Liner M/Sun Medical Co.). After luting, the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours and then submitted to the µSBS test. The data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA followed by the Scheffe post hoc test (p<0.05). There were significant differences between RelyX U200 and other groups. There were also significant differences between the RelyX U200 group without ceramic primer and other groups without ceramic primers (p<0.05). Self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX U200 and MaxCem) presented higher microshear bond strength (6.17 and 2.32 MPa) than the conventional resin cement (RelyX ARC) when a porcelain primer was not used (0.43 MPa). When using Porcelain Liner M, the results of RelyX ARC (2.94 MPa) were equivalent to the results of self-adhesive cement (3.93 and 2.11 MPa). When using Z-Prime Plus, the results of MaxCem (5.36 MPa) were lower than those of RelyX U200 (9.59 MPa) but equivalent to those of RelyX ARC (6.07 MPa). When using the RelyX ARC, the use of both ceramic primers improved bond strength to zirconia. When using self-adhesive resin cement, Z-Prime Plus improved microshear bond strength values. It can be concluded that, after 24 hours, the highest µSBS results were obtained when using Z-Prime Plus and RelyX U200 self-adhesive cement.

Caracterización de pacientes con fractura de cadera, intervenidos con artroplastia / Characterizing Patients with Hip Fracture, Operated with Arthroplasty

Introducción: Las lesiones traumáticas de la cadera ocupan uno de los propósitos más importantes de la cirugía traumatológica. El uso de la artroplastia como regla de oro en el tratamiento quirúrgico de las mismas, es el fundamento del trabajo. Objetivo: Caracterizar los pacientes con diagnóstico de fractura de cadera, intervenidos con artroplastia total y parcial y estudiar la mortalidad, según el tipo de prótesis utilizada. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal retrospectivo en 1506 pacientes del Hospital Ortopédico Docente Fructuoso Rodríguez entre 2015 y 2019, portadores de fractura de cadera, y tratados con artroplastia. Se analizaron variables tales como edad, sexo y comorbilidades presentes. Resultados: Se colocaron prótesis totales a 427 pacientes y en 1079 se utilizó la modalidad de prótesis parcial. Predominaron las personas entre 61 y 80 años de edad. El sexo femenino prevaleció en el estudio, con una relación 3:1. Predominó el grupo de pacientes con 1 o 2 enfermedades asociadas. La mortalidad < 30 días resultó el 1,1 por ciento y ≥ 30 días el 9,2 por ciento. Conclusiones: La utilización de prótesis totales dista mucho de la media interpuesta actualmente en el mundo, donde la prótesis total se maneja como herramienta de elección. Las prótesis parciales quedan reservadas para pacientes que tienen una corta expectativa de vida y muy poco validismo(AU)

Introduction: Traumatic hip injuries occupy one of the most important purposes of trauma surgery. The use of arthroplasty as a golden rule in their surgical treatment is the foundation of the work. Objectives: To characterize patients with a diagnosis of hip fracture, who underwent total and partial arthroplasty and to study mortality, according to the type of prosthesis used. Methods: A descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out in 1506 patients from Fructuoso Rodríguez Orthopedic Teaching Hospital from 2015 to 2019, with hip fracture, and treated with arthroplasty. Variables such as age, sex, and present comorbidities were analyzed. Results: Total prostheses were placed in 427 patients and in 1079 the partial prosthesis modality was used. Persons between 61 and 80 years of age predominated. The female sex prevailed in this study, with a 3: 1 ratio. The group of patients with 1 or 2 associated diseases predominated. Mortality <30 days was 1.1 percent and ≥30 days was 9.2 percent. Conclusions: The use of total prostheses is far from the current average in the world, where the total prosthesis is used as the tool of choice. Partial prostheses are reserved for patients who have short life expectancy and very little validity(AU)

For the realization of this article, the literature review method was used, by selecting of the some articles and following up the clinical case. After surgery on the tumor and placement of a mandibular reconstruction plate there was bone repair in the area of the lesion and then, with the installation of implants with a fixed prothesis protocol type, there was an alveolar-dental reconstruction. The patient was proserved for one year, during this period recurrences was not observed. It can be concluded that oral rehabilitation through jaw reconstruction and prosthetic rehabilitation contributes to improving the patient's quality of life

Aortic Valve Replacement Via Right Anterior Mini-Thoracotomy: the Conventional Procedure Performed Through a Smaller Incision.

Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement has gained consent due to its good results in terms of minimized surgical trauma, faster rehabilitation, pain control and patient compliance. In our experience, we have tried to replicate the conventional and gold standard approach through a smaller incision. Sparing the right internal thoracic artery, avoiding rib fractures and performing total central cannulation is important to make this procedure minimally invasive from a biological point of view too. In addition, the total central cannulation is pivotal to simplify perfusion and drainage. Moreover, a complete step-by-step procedure optimization and-when possible-the use of sutureless prosthesis help to reduce the cross-clamping and perfusion times. After more than 1000 right anterior thoracotomy (RAT) aortic valve replacements, we have found tips and tricks to make our technique more effective.

RESUMEN Introducción: Las fracturas por lesión traumática, la resección quirúrgica de tumores y los defectos congénitos exponen al maxilar a agresiones, y para la rehabilitación están las prótesis obturatrices que recuperan algunas funciones como la deglución y la fonación, así como la estética. Objetivo: Resumir los beneficios del uso de prótesis obturatriz como forma de rehabilitación en los servicios de Prótesis Bucomaxilofacial. Métodos: Estudio de revisión bibliográfica en 25 publicaciones entre 2015-2020 sobre el uso de prótesis obturatriz. Se consultaron y tamizaron 153 documentos de las bases de datos de los sistemas referativos MEDLINE, PubMed y SciELO e indexadas en la Web of Sciences, Scopus, Redalyc y Latindex, con el uso de los descriptores: obturador bucal, prótesis obturatriz, cáncer bucal. Desarrollo: Los obturadores protésicos o palatinos, se indican para sellar los tejidos de la cavidad bucal expuestos de forma quirúrgica o congénita, y constituyen un sustituto fundamental del paladar duro, del hueso alveolar y de los tejidos blandos circundantes. Durante la rehabilitación, el profesional en prótesis bucomaxilofacial realizará nuevas modificaciones, a medida que el lecho quirúrgico madura. La prótesis final contará con dientes similares a una prótesis dental; el paciente la puede extraer y limpiar, además de ocuparse de la higiene del defecto. Conclusiones: Los obturadores protésicos corrigen defectos palatinos o maxilares, con varios diseños y aditamentos a aplicar, lo cual logra recuperar un alto nivel de calidad de vida de los pacientes, pues se separa la cavidad bucal de la nasal o sinusal, con una consecuente rehabilitación dental y oclusal satisfactoria. Palabras clave: obturadores palatinos; prótesis maxilofacial; rehabilitación bucal.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Fractures due to traumatic injury, surgical resection of tumors and congenital defects expose the maxilla to aggressions, and for rehabilitation there are obturator prostheses that recover some functions such as swallowing and phonation, as well as aesthetics. Objective: To summarize the benefits of the use of an obturator prosthesis as a rehabilitation form in Oral Maxillofacial Prosthesis services. Methods: Study of bibliographic review in 64 publications between 1978-2019 on the use of obturator prosthesis. 153 documents from the MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO reference systems databases were consulted, screened and indexed on the Web of Sciences, Scopus, Redalyc and Latindex, with the use of the following descriptors: oral obturator, obturator prosthesis, oral cancer. Development: Prosthetic or palatal obturators are indicated to seal the surgically or congenitally exposed tissues of the oral cavity, and are a fundamental substitute for the hard palate, alveolar bone and surrounding soft tissues. During rehabilitation, the buccomaxillofacial prosthesis professional will make new modifications as the surgical site matures. The final prosthesis will have teeth similar to a dental prosthesis; the patient can remove and clean it, in addition to taking care of the hygiene of the defect. Conclusions: Prosthetic obturators correct palatal or maxillary defects, with various designs and attachments to be applied, which manages to recover a high level of quality of life for patients, since the oral cavity is separated from the nasal or sinus cavity, with a satisfactory dental and occlusal rehabilitation.

Double Space Augmentation Mastopexy-A Reflection After 15 Years.

INTRODUCTION: The treatment of breast ptosis using mastopexy associated with the inclusion of a silicone prosthesis in a single surgical procedure is a challenge for surgeons. The aim of this study is to describe the 15-year experience with the placement of silicone breast implants in double, subfascial and submuscular space, in the treatment of patients with breast ptosis, and to analyze the aesthetic results of patients who underwent such surgeries. METHOD: During the 15-year period, between 2005 and 2020, 640 mastopexies were performed with the inclusion of silicone breast implants in double space, with high-profile round polyurethane prostheses whose volumes ranged from 135 to 435 ml, in patients with grade 2 and 3 breast ptosis. RESULTS: The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 55 years and the average age was 34 years. The postoperative follow-up time was 18 months. 400 patients (62.5%) had grade II ptosis, whereas 240 of them (37.5%) had grade III ptosis. The main complications were: 19 cases (3%) of residual sagging skin, 19 cases (3%) of unsightly scars, 12 cases (2%) of partial areola necrosis. There was no case of infection or seroma. There were 330 primary surgeries (52%) and 310 secondary surgeries (48%). CONCLUSION: After 15 years of performing mastopexy with prosthesis in double space, both in primary and secondary surgeries, it can be concluded that the technique reached its maturity providing good long-term results with the maintenance of the projection of the upper pole of the breast and low recurrence of ptosis in the lower pole and low rate of complications.

Canal flare index evaluation for different dog breeds / Avaliação do canal flare index femoral de diferentes raças de cães

This study determined the canal flare index (CFI) of four dog breeds using two distinct femoral regions as a reference. Thirty-five radiographs of the hip joints of Golden Retrievers (GRG), German Shepherds (GSG), Labrador Retrievers (LRG), and Rottweilers (RG) of both sexes were used. Seventy experimental units were submitted to CFI calculation. Objective (CFIob) and subjective (CFIsub) values of the CFI of each experimental unit were determined according to the anatomical reference used for the calculation. A significant difference in the CFIob between the Golden Retriever and German Shepherd breeds (1.68 ± 0.16 and 1.49 ± 0.08), and in the CFIsub between Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and Rottweiler breeds (2.09 ± 0.31, 1.86 ± 0.11, and 1.84 ± 0.18) was reported. The subjective form of measurement showed higher values than the objective form (GRG: 2.09 ± 0.31; GSG: 1.86 ± 0.11; LRG: 2.07 ± 0.12; RG: 1.84 ± 0.18). The CFI values of each breed were similar, suggesting a certain racial pattern. A significant difference in the interobserver assessment for both CFIsub and CFIob, in all races was observed. The CFI analysis identified morphological patterns of the proximal femur in the different races. Results indicated the need for standardization of the anatomical references used to calculate the CFI because there were statistical differences among the measurements among the observers.(AU)

Objetivou-se determinar o canal flare index (CFI) de quatro raças específicas de cães, utilizando-se duas regiões femorais distintas como referência. Foram analisadas 35 radiografias de articulações coxofemorais de cães das raças Golden Retriever (GGR), Pastor Alemão (GPA), Labrador Retriever (GLR) e Rottweiler (GR), de ambos os sexos, configurando 70 unidades experimentais submetidas ao cálculo do CFI. Determinaram-se os valores objetivo (CFIob) e subjetivo (CFIsub) do CFI de cada unidade experimental de acordo com a referência anatômica utilizada para o cálculo. Houve diferença significativa do CFIob entre as raças Golden Retriever e Pastor Alemão (1,68 ± 0,16 e 1,49 ± 0,08), e do CFIsub entre as raças Golden Retriever, Pastor Alemão e Rottweiler (2,09 ± 0,31, 1,86 ± 0,11 e 1,84 ± 0,18). A forma subjetiva de mensuração apresentou valores maiores que a forma objetiva (GGR: 2,09 ± 0,31; GPA: 1,86 ± 0,11; GLR: 2,07 ± 0,12; GR: 1,84 ± 0,18). Os valores de CFI de cada raça se apresentaram similares, sugerindo haver determinado padrão racial. Houve diferença significativa na avaliação interobservadores, tanto do CFIsub quanto CFIob, em todas as raças. A análise do CFI identificou padrões morfológicos do fêmur proximal nas diferentes raças. Os resultados indicaram a necessidade de padronização dos referenciais anatômicos utilizados para o cálculo do CFI, uma vez que houve relevância estatística entre as diferentes mensurações entre os observadores.(AU)

RESUMO: Objetivou-se determinar o canal flare index (CFI) de quatro raças específicas de cães, utilizando-se duas regiões femorais distintas como referência. Foram analisadas 35 radiografias de articulações coxofemorais de cães das raças Golden Retriever (GGR), Pastor Alemão (GPA), Labrador Retriever (GLR) e Rottweiler (GR), de ambos os sexos, configurando 70 unidades experimentais submetidas ao cálculo do CFI. Determinaram-se os valores objetivo (CFIob) e subjetivo (CFIsub) do CFI de cada unidade experimental de acordo com a referência anatômica utilizada para o cálculo. Houve diferença significativa do CFIob entre as raças Golden Retriever e Pastor Alemão (1,68 ± 0,16 e 1,49 ± 0,08), e do CFIsub entre as raças Golden Retriever, Pastor Alemão e Rottweiler (2,09 ± 0,31, 1,86 ± 0,11 e 1,84 ± 0,18). A forma subjetiva de mensuração apresentou valores maiores que a forma objetiva (GGR: 2,09 ± 0,31; GPA: 1,86 ± 0,11; GLR: 2,07 ± 0,12; GR: 1,84 ± 0,18). Os valores de CFI de cada raça se apresentaram similares, sugerindo haver determinado padrão racial. Houve diferença significativa na avaliação interobservadores, tanto do CFIsub quanto CFIob, em todas as raças. A análise do CFI identificou padrões morfológicos do fêmur proximal nas diferentes raças. Os resultados indicaram a necessidade de padronização dos referenciais anatômicos utilizados para o cálculo do CFI, uma vez que houve relevância estatística entre as diferentes mensurações entre os observadores.

Presença de Candida sp na saliva de pacientes usuários de prótese total e próteses parciais removíveis atendidos em uma Faculdade de Odontologia de Goiás / Presence of Candida sp in the saliva of patients with complete dentures and partial removable dentures of a Goiás Dental School

Objetivos ­ À vista disso, conhecendo como a principal condição exógena para que ocorra a proliferação de Candida e introdução de Candidose em cavidade oral é a prótese dentária com tempo de uso de mais de 5 anos, propomos nesse estudo avaliar a quantificação de Candida na saliva pacientes usuários de prótese parcial e total removíveis, correlacionando com idade avançada e o fluxo salivar e fatores que possam agir influenciando sua quantificação. As espécies do gênero Candida são normalmente encontradas na microbiota de pacientes saudáveis, sendo a C. Albicans a mais comum. Já a patogenicidade da espécie só ocorre caso haja condições propicias para o seu desenvolvimento, como comprometimento do sistema imune, hiposalivação e uso incorreto de próteses. As próteses totais, em especial, estão associadas ao aumento de UFC e presença de candidose na cavidade oral. Métodos ­ Foram avaliados 121 indivíduos sendo 31 do grupo controle e 90 usuários de próteses dentárias. Foram realizada uma coleta de saliva de cada paciente no momento da primeira consulta odontológica e os pacientes foram classificados quanto ao fluxo salivar em reduzido, normal e aumentados. A análise microbiológica foi realizada com a mesma saliva utilizada na avaliação do fluxo salivar, sendo estas semeadas e a as colônias de Candida foram quantificadas e os pacientes serão categorizados em negativos, portadores e positivos. Resultados ­ Foi possível uma relação forte no que se refere a diminuição do fluxo salivar associado a idade avançada e em decorrência disto, com a quantidade de UFC de Candida na saliva dos pacientes estudados. Conclusão ­ Posto isso, fica comprovado que os pacientes que utilizam próteses removíveis são os com maior quantidade de UFC, seguidos pelos pacientes que utilizam próteses totais

Objectives ­ In view of this, knowing as the main exogenous condition for the occurrence of Candida proliferation and introduction of Candidosis in oral cavity is the dental prosthesis with time of use of more than 5 years, we propose in this study to carry out a evaluation the quantification of the presence of Candida in saliva in patients using partial and total removable prosthesis, correlating at the found with advanced age and the salivar flow and factors that may influence its quantification. Species of the genus Candida are usually found in the microbiota of healthy patients, with C. Albicans being the most universal. The pathogenicity of the species occurs only if there are propitious conditions to its development, such as impairment of the immune system, hyposalivation and incorrect use of prostheses. Total prostheses, in particular, are associated with increased CFU and the presence of candidosis in the oral cavity. Methods ­ A total of 121 individuals were evaluated, 31 from the control group and 90 users of dental prostheses. Saliva collection was performed from each patient at the time of the first dental appointment and the patients were classified as reduced, normal and increased salivary flow. Microbiological analysis was performed with the same saliva used for salivary flow evaluation. These were sown and Candida colonies were quantified and patients were categorized as negative, carrier and positive. Results ­ It was possible to have a strong relationship regarding the decrease in salivary flow associated with advanced age and, as a result, with the amount of Candida CFU in the saliva of the studied patients. Conclusion ­ Thus, it is proven that patients using removable prostheses are the ones with the highest amount of CFU, followed by patients using total prosthesis

Uso de ácido tranexámico en la artroplastía total primaria de rodilla / Use of tranexamic acid in primary total knee arthroplasty

Resumen: Introducción: La reducción de la pérdida sanguínea y de las transfusiones en pacientes operados de artroplastía total de rodilla (ATR) primaria se asocia a un mejor resultado clínico y funcional. El uso de ácido tranexámico (ATX) es uno de los métodos utilizados para disminuir ese sangrado. Material y métodos: Se compararon los resultados en hemoglobina (Hb), hematocrito (Hto), tasa de sangrado y de transfusión, tiempo quirúrgico y dolor entre los grupos A (con ATX) y grupo B (sin ATX) posterior a la ATR. Resultados: Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la disminución del sangrado transquirúrgico y periquirúrgico global, en la disminución de la Hb a las 24 horas, en la tasa de transfusión, en el tiempo quirúrgico y en el dolor a la deambulación a favor del grupo A. Discusión: En México no hay literatura publicada sobre el uso de ATX en pacientes operados de ATR. A pesar del uso cada vez más común del ATX, la mejor dosis y vía de administración sigue siendo un tema controversial. Conclusión: El uso de ATX en el esquema propuesto es un método seguro y eficaz para disminuir la tasa de sangrado y de transfusiones en los pacientes operados de ATR.

Abstract: Background: Reducing blood loss and transfusions in patients operated on primary TKR is associated with a better clinical and functional outcome. The use of Tranexamic Acid (ATX) is one of the methods used to decrease that bleeding. Material and methods: Results in Hb, Hto, rate of bleeding and transfusion, surgical time and pain between groups A (with ATX) and group B (without tranexamic acid) after TKR are compared. Results: Statistically significant differences were found during surgery and perisurgical bleeding, in the decrease of Hb at 24 hours, transfusion rate, surgical time and pain to wandering in favor of group A. Discussion: There are no published studies in Mexico on the use of ATX in patients operated on TKR. We consider its use to be increasingly common, the optimal dose and route of administration remains a controversial topic. Conclusion: The use of ATX in the proposed scheme is safe and effective in reducing the rate of bleeding and transfusions in patients operated on ATR.

Previsibilidade na Instalação Imediata de Implante Cone Morse pelo Planejamento Digital e Provisionalização Imediata: Relato de Caso / Predictability in Immediate Implant Placement of Morse Taper by Digital Planning and Immediate Provisionalization: Case Report

A instalação imediata de implantes em região estética é uma prática frequente, pois reduzir a remodelação óssea e tecidual. Os implantes com interface cone Morse apresentam resultados biológicos e estéticos satisfatórios a longo prazo, pois apresentam gap reduzido entre implante e componente protético e a interface fica distante do tecido ósseo. Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar a reabilitação estética de um incisivo central superior comprometido através da instalação de um implante cone Morse utilizando a técnica da cirurgia guiada com provisionalização imediata. Paciente com 40 anos de idade, do sexo masculino, apresentava incisivo central superior (#21) com tratamento endodôntico prévio, recessão gengival vestibular, escurecimento coronário e mobilidade. O caso clínico apresentado mostrou que, após 12 meses, resultados precisos e estéticos são possíveis de alcançar com a instalação de implantes em alvéolos pós-extração e instalação de um dente provisório imediato em regiões estéticas.

The immediate placement of implant in fresh sockets in the aesthetic area is a frequent practice as it reduces bone and tissue remodeling. Morse taper implants present satisfactory biological and aesthetic results in the long term, since they present a reduced gap between implant and prosthetic component and this interface is distant from bone. This article aims to report the aesthetic restoration of a compromised central upper incisor with the placement of a Morse taper implant using guided surgery with immediate provision. A 40-year-old male patient had a central upper incisor (#21) with previous endodontic treatment, vestibular gingival recession, coronary browning, and mobility. The clinical case presented showed that, after 12 months, precise and aesthetic results are possible to achieve with the placement of implants in post-extracting alveolus and installation of an immediate provisional tooth in esthetic regions.

Prótese dento-gengival sobre implantes: relato de caso / Dentogengival prosthesis on implant: case report

A perda de tecido ósseo e gengival na região anterior é um desafio para o clínico devido as exigências estéticas do sorriso, essa perda de tecido de sustentação cria uma relação desarmônica entre as coroas clínicas e ameias interdentais. O objetivo deste estudo é relatar o caso clínico de uma reabilitação maxilar anterior através de uma prótese dentogengival sobre implantes (PDGI). O tratamento realizado após o diagnóstico clínico consistiu na realização de moldagens de estudo, fotografias para o planejamento digital (DSD), confecção dos provisórios, abertura dos implantes, escolha dos pilares protéticos, colocação dos provisórios sobre os implantes, remodelação gengival com provisórios, moldagem de trabalho, ajustes e prova da porcelana, parafusamento da prótese sobre implante e preservação do paciente. Essa reabilitação pode ser uma alterativa viável para substituição de tecido gengival e ósseo perdido, quando a regeneração não tiver um prognóstico favorável ou em pacientes que não desejam ou não podem submeter-se a procedimentos regenerativos. Concluímos que a PDGI melhorou de maneira significativa tanto os requisitos estéticos como funcionais do paciente(AU)

The loss of the bone and gingival tissue in the frontal zone is a challenge to the clinician due to the smiling aesthetic requirements. The loss of the teeth sustentation tissue creates an inharmonic relation between the clinical crowns and the interdental niches. The purpose of this study is to report a clinical case of aesthetic rehabilitation of the anterior maxillary through dentogingival prosthesis on implants. The treatment accomplished after the clinical diagnosis consisted in molding study, taking pictures for digital planning (DSD), confection of the provisional ones, opening the dental implant, assorting of the prosthetic abutments, placing the dental abutment on the dental implant, gingival remodeling with provisional ones, molding work, adjusting and testing the porcelain crown, screw driving the prosthesis on the implant and preserving the patient. This rehabilitation may be a viable alternative to replacing both the gingival and bone tissue when regeneration does not have a favorable prognosis, or in patients whom do not wish or cannot undergo regenerative procedures. We conclude that dentogingival prosthesis on implant has significantly improved both the functional and aesthetic requirements of the patient(AU)
