“…The content of most of the representative opinion polls about implants conducted worldwide in more than 15 years has been extensively quoted in the previous sections (Davis et al 1986;Akagawa et al 1988Akagawa et al , 1989Grogono et al 1989;Gü nay et al 1991;Palmqvist et al 1991;Zimmer et al 1992;Best 1993;Mü ller et al 1994;Salonen 1994;De Bruyn et al 1997;Berge 2000;Sandberg et al 2000;Allen et al 2001;Butterworth et al 2001;.

“…Only 15% complained about what may often be protracted healing and prosthodontic management times. Interestingly, highly unrealistic patient expectations were also found in a study of nonimplant-supported full-arch dentures (Davis et al 1986). This goes to show that dentists should take greater pains to explain the surgical procedure carefully and comprehensibly to their potential patients and to dispel their worries by detailing what treatment is planned for them to match the conditions of their jaws.…”

The number of dental implants inserted annually worldwide has been estimated to come close to a million. But the level of information available to patients about realistic, evidence-based treatment options by implants is often enough more than fragmentary, and what is disseminated by the media and the industry does not always reflect evidence-based empirical data. This survey of 1000 adults presented with 18 questions was designed to shed light on several points. These were (1). level of subjective patient information, (2). sources of information and prejudices, (3). future demand for implant treatment and target groups for patient information campaigns, and (4). potential misinformation, information deficits, discrepancies of information and how these come about. Of those questioned, 20% said unprompted that implants were a possibility to replace missing teeth. When prompted, 72% said that they knew about dental implants. Most of those questioned felt poorly informed about the options for replacing missing teeth and many knew less about implants than about other alternatives. The dentist was said to be the desired source of information, but 77% of those questioned reported that their dentists did not practice implant dentistry. More than 79% of those questioned did not know whether their dentist worked with implants. Forty-four percent thought that implants should only be placed by specially trained doctors. Sixty-one percent were of the opinion that dentists who provide implant dentistry were better qualified than their nonimplanting colleagues. Half of those questioned attributed implant failures to allergies and incompatibilities, the other half to poor medical care. Only 29% incriminated poor oral hygiene as a cause of implant failure. Future strategies should be geared to more professional public relations and patient information. Internationally operating qualified implant institutions could contribute much to balance discrepant information.

PURPOSE. This retrospective study analyzed the distribution of the dental implants with regards to age and gender of the patients and type of indication for the implant therapy, as well as the location, dimension and type of the implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The data of demographics (age and gender), type of indication for implant therapy, anatomical location, dimensions (length and diameter) and type (bone and tissue level) of 1616 implants were recorded from patient charts between January 2000 and January 2010. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using a chi-squared test for demographic parameters, type of indication, tooth position, anatomical location, implant dimensions and type (α=.05). RESULTS. The patient pool comprised of 350 women and 266 men, with a mean age of 52.12 ± 13.79 years. The difference in n% of the implants of the age groups was statistically significant between the types of indications. The difference in the position of the implants was statistically significant between the n% of the implants of all age groups. Gender did not significantly vary, except that the diameter of the implants was significantly higher for the standard diameter implants in males. The difference between the implant positions was statistically significant when considered according to indication. The relationship between implant length and anatomical location was statistically significant. CONCLUSION. The indication for dental implant use is age dependent and the type and size of the implant seems to be strongly related to the location of the implant.

An insight into the masticatory performance of complete denture wearer

To date there is no standard protocol on evaluation of the masticatory performance in complete denture wearer even though many methods had been described in the literature for measurement of the masticatory performance of the complete denture wearers. The masticatory performances were measured either subjectively or objectively, but no positive correlation was found between subjective and objective measurement. Therefore, there is a need to standardize the objective measurement, as subjective measurements rely on patients' perceptions, which is not reliable. Intra individual and inter individual variations that exist support the need to standardize the method of measurement.Key words: masticatory performance, complete denture. INTRODUCTIONThe efficiency and success of complete dentures are difficult to measure objectively. It is important to be able to do so because patients sometimes complain with no clinical evidence (1,2). Most patients expect dentures to be comparable, both functionally and esthetically, to a natural dentition (3). To predict individual patients' ability to chew test foods, dentists cannot rely on subjective responses to questionnaires on chewing difficulties or on the complete denture. However, a series of chewing tests can determine the individual masticatory performance. An objective test of masticatory performance could provide useful information of edentulous subjects wearing complete denture; later this information could support advice and decisions made by the dentists to patients on the treatment and the treatment outcome (4). OBJECTIVESTooth loss is significant in elderly people, partly due to poor oral health. Fiske and Lewis (1995) suggested that oral health is important in the elderly in terms of their ability to eat healthy nutritious food (5), as elderly with a reduced number of teeth had a poor quality diet (6). It is important to have good oral health and chewing ability, either by means of the remaining teeth or with dentures (7).The selection of food by the elderly was affected by the number of teeth, the number of occluding pairs and the presence of complete dentures (8,9). The wearing of complete dentures also resulted in changes in masticatory function compared with dentate subjects (10-12). Therefore, a measurement of the performance and the efficiency of masticatory function is important as restoring the masticatory function is one of the purposes of complete denture construction (13).The objective of this paper is to give a brief insight into the masticatory performance and efficiency of complete denture wearers and various methods used to establish the masticatory performance of the edentulous patients. MASTICATORY FUNCTION Definition"The ability of a patient to masticate is measured in two ways, i.e (1) Masticatory efficiency and (2) Masticatory performance"-Bates, Stafford and Harrison (10). From the Glossary of Prosthodontics (14), masticatory efficiency is defined as the effort required achieving a standard degree of comminution while masticatory performance i...
