Fabrication of a definitive obturator from a 3D cast with a chairside digital scanner for a patient with severe gag reflex: A clinical report

Accuracy of Scanned Stock Abutments Using Different Intraoral Scanners: An In Vitro Study

“…In addition to enabling use of materials that can be milled directly, such as zirconia or glass ceramic, this type of prosthesis can be used in various manners because it can be manufactured from a variety of materials. This procedure is also helpful for patients who experience discomfort during traditional impression methods (e.g., due to the gag reflex), because it is unnecessary to make an impression with impression material . However, discomfort could also result from the application of the scanning powder, which is required to reduce the gloss of the existing stock abutment in order to apply this procedure to the actual clinical environment.…”

Fabrication of a 3D Printing Definitive Obturator Prosthesis: a Clinical Report

“…Pacijent je dobio upute kako održavati oralnu higijenu, s naglaskom na učinkovito čišćenje prirodnih zuba, proteze s opturatorom i nepčanog defekta. Kontrolni pregledi određeni su u razmacima od dva dana, jednog tjedna, nakon mjesec dana, nakon šest mjeseci i jedanput na godinu nakon predaje proteze (2). Na kontrolnom pregledu poslije šest mjeseci obavljeno je direktno podlaganje proteze silikonskim materijalom (Tokuyama Sofreliner, Tokuyama Dental Corporation, Taitou-Ku Tokyo, Japan), čime je poboljšana njezina retencija i preciznost rubova.…”

“…U maksilofacijalnoj protetici defekt koji se treba rehabilitirati uglavnom otežava uzimanje preciznog otiska ili je pacijent pod psihološkim pritiskom ili ima bolove. Problemi pri uzimanju otiska nastaju zbog razlike u svojstvima mekoga i tvrdoga tkiva, pomičnosti, podminiranih mjesta i distorzije otisnog materijala (2). Ako se upustimo u uspoređivanje s proteklim desetljećima, danas je veća potreba za rehabilitacijom takvih pacijenata.…”

“…Impression taking procedure has to consider a diversity of soft and hard tissues, mobility, undercuts and the distortion of impression material related to weight and consistency (2). At the present time, compared to the previous decades, a need for the rehabilitation of such patients has increased.…”

The use of CAD / CAM technology in prosthetic rehabilitation of patients treated for maxillary tumors

“…Z tego powodu metoda ta może być polecana u pacjentów ze stwierdzoną alergią na składniki mas wyciskowych i silnym odruchem wymiotnym. 15 W przypadku pacjentów pooperacyjnych z ograniczonym zakresem otwierania ust, dodatkową zaletą mogą być stosunkowo niewielkie rozmiary urządzenia skanującego w porównaniu ze standardowymi łyżkami wyciskowymi, umożliwiające swobodną pracę w ograniczonej przestrzeni jamy ustnej. 16 Co więcej w przypadku pacjentów z połączeniem ustno-zatokowym skanowanie wewnątrzustne eliminuje ryzyko przedostania się masy wyciskowej do górnych dróg oddechowych.…”
