When I was growing up, I was unlike many children in that I always looked forward to my dentist appointments. Every time I visited the dentist, I paid attention to everything they were doing, and asked questions. I listened intently as the dentist explained things to me, asking further questions if I was not satisfied with the response. As I grew up, I started to conduct my own research at home to answer my questions about this field of medicine. From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a dentist and now it is my primary goal. ...

Complications of Removable Implant Supported Prostheses

Introduction The two main complications that result from removable implants are biological and mechanical/technical complications. There is need to assess and interpret data on the incidence of complications, both biological and technical with caution. Berglundh, Persson, and Klinge (2002), found that implant loss was the most common problem, while technical complications were observable in about 60-80% and biological complications – 40-60% of the studies they evaluated. According to Sadowsky (2007), there are no specifications on the length, distribution, and number of implants; however the suggestion for non-palatal coverage designs should be a minimum of 4 implants. In case of risk ...

GENERAL INFORMATION ON DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT

Objective of dental implants After losing teeth, the supporting bone segment is no longer essential and begins to gradually disappear (Misch, 2008). Once this begins, the missing portions can be replaced with removable dentures or fixed bridges; this process enhances visual appeal, corrects speech impediments and improves mastication. However, complications can occur when replacing living tissues with artificial apparatuses. Dentures have been shown to decrease the efficiency of the chewing process, initiate additional bone loss and often experience inadequate retention (Knowles, 1958). Furthermore, dentures may require additional support, which affects the healthy teeth that are ...

In the current paper, we will discuss the complications in removable implant prosthesis, fabrication, delivery, and function. For the purpose of understanding these topics better, we need to understand the basic concepts of dental implants first. A dental implant can be described as an artificial replacement of a tooth root which is placed in the jaw for the purpose of holding a replaced tooth or a bridge. Dental implants can be used as an option for the patients who had lost a tooth as a result of a periodontal disease, injury or any other reason. Two different types of ...

Introduction

Dental implants are increasingly becoming popular because a large section of clinicians believe that natural tooth restoration techniques are inferior to dental implants as implants have a longer life than natural tooth and are less susceptible to biological changes. There are various types of dental implants that support crown, bridges, and dentures, and act as orthodontic anchors and facial prosthesis. The basis of the modern dental implant is a biological process in which titanium forms a bond with bone. Dental fixture is first implanted and then a prosthetic is added. Over the years, various implant impression techniques, such as ...

The critical care units of hospitals treat frequently treat patients by administering oxygen via the insertion of tubes into tracheostomies, the nose, or the mouth; nosocomial infections may result, leading to ventilator-associated pneumonia, or VAP (CDC.gov, 2015). The infection is not generally associated with non-sterile techniques during insertion, but rather from tube contamination. The nosocomial infection is most often diagnosed in intensive care departments and research has been directed toward identifying methods of oral care as a means of prevention. Comparisons of the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate swabs with that of chlorhexidine swabs have been made and the hospital ...

The idea that schools should provide accommodations for those students who experience difficulty and disability is a relatively new one. In the past, primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions existed as institutions; however, as the sciences advanced and more became known about the nature of human learning disabilities, institutions of all different types and sizes began to realize that a learning disability is not necessarily associated with an intellectual disability. With this realization came the development of a number of important programs, all of which have one particular end goal: to develop an educational system in which people can ...

The National Health Service (NHS) was created in 1948. It was created to provide health care services to the citizens. Before its creation, residents had to pay for their health care. The driving force behind its creation was the feeling that residents have a right to good health care and that it should be available to all people regardless of their wealth or social class. It was based on three core principles; that it meets the needs of all people, it is free at the point of delivery, and that it is based on clinical needs and not the ...

The personal care product that I rely on and that perhaps holds special meaning for me is Colgate brand of toothpaste.

In fact, prior to this assignment, I had not considered my brand loyalty to the Colgate toothpaste and even their toothbrushes. Considering that I brush my teeth daily, it is a fair assessment that I purchase the product regularly ...
