TL;DR: The root and sinus series of the Omnii system have been used extensively and their design attempts to maximize the use of the available bone, and placement techniques allow the manipulation of bone to form sockets in otherwise deficient areas of bone.

TL;DR: Having achieved an optimal combination of biomaterial (hydroxyapatite) in an ideal porous structure (replamineform), Interpore-200 fulfills the expectation of early researchers in the basic sciences who demonstrated that an interconnected porous material is better tolerated by the body than the same material in solid form.

TL;DR: Endosseous implants of commercially pure titanium have been demonstrated to give success rates of more than 90 per cent over 10 years of follow-up, and may be looked upon as a routine procedure in the treatment of edentulousness.

TL;DR: The mechanical and biologic properties of the calcium phosphates, as well as their present and future applications, are discussed.

TL;DR: A new era in TMJ reconstruction has begun, resulting in increased benefits to the patients whom the authors all serve, and Continued experience with the implants and close follow-up of reconstruction patients is necessary in the future to adequately assess the performance of the newer glenoid fossa and TMJ interpositional implants.

TL;DR: No epithelial attachment to any dental implant post has been comprehensively described that utilizes light and electron microscopy or histochemistry, and a concept of a biologic seal has emerged that delineates the external milieu of the mouth with its microbiota and plaque from the internal milieuof bone and connective tissue, where true osseointegration can and does take place.

TL;DR: The use of porous replamineform hydroxyapatites (Interpore-200) provides an opportunity for rapid stabilization of the ceramic implant by connective tissue and bony ingrowth into the porous network.

TL;DR: The TPS screw implant system is a predictable, cost-effective means by which patients can be restored in an outpatient setting and has demonstrated a 94% rate of success in patients with 1739 implants from four countries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new dental stress model was proposed, which is based upon "perceived" (psychological) stresses, consisting of antecedents of stress (stressors) and the resulting job and life stresses which produce psychologic and physiologic stress responses and behavioral consequences.

TL;DR: The use of particulate and solid forms for preservation of the alveolar ridge, facial reconstruction, and orthognathic surgery are discussed.

TL;DR: Acceptance of implants by dentist, readiness for use, and general indications are described and individual evaluation for implants is detailed and success of implants defined.

TL;DR: A method has been developed whereby with the aid of computerized tomography, an exact replica of the maxilla or mandible can be fabricated, which allows the reconstruction of themaxilla orMandible with a subperiosteal implant done in one surgical appointment.

TL;DR: The endosteal hollow cylinder implant systems incorporate advanced sophisticated biomaterials and bioengineering design concepts such as the titanium plasma spray surface coating as well as the cylindric shape, which has introduced the third dimension to dental implantology.

TL;DR: An overview of prosthodontic considerations in the restoration of such implants is presented and concepts for both the edentulous and partially Edentulous mouth are discussed.

TL;DR: It is evident that no single impression material is ideally suited for making edentulous impressions and clinicians should be aware of the characteristics of the material they are using and modify their techniques accordingly.

TL;DR: The chief administrative officer of the academic health center should facilitate the work of the deans of the schools of the health professions in convening faculty task forces that will address the introduction of computer literacy and computer applications in health care to the curricula.

TL;DR: The ability of computers to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of practitioners will make automation integral to future dental practice and change both expectations of future evolutions and capacity to transform these expectations into reality.

TL;DR: The mandibular staple bone plate is a reconstructive device that will attach to the inferior border of the mandible and will orthopedically provide for prosthetic and jaw stabilization in the edentulous mandibles and the deformed mandible.

TL;DR: This article describes treatment for urgent care cases involving the dental pulp and periradicular tissues: acute pain of pulpal or perIRadicular origin, acute pain from endodontic procedures, and management of traumatically injured teeth.

TL;DR: Treatment planning considerations that determine if a tooth can be endodontically treated, if it has strategic value to be treated, and if the patient really wants the treatment are discussed are discussed.

TL;DR: The principal thing the authors have to change to manage stress more effectively is ourselves; learning to do so is a necessary skill for all of us who must cope with this rapidly changing and potentially stressful world.

TL;DR: The authors trace the early years through the present project a realistic view of computer-based usage in dental education in the coming years.

TL;DR: The conditions discussed in this article are those most likely to cause a patient to seek emergency care, primarily for pain, and an attempt was made to provide the practitioner with enough information to develop a working diagnosis from which to alleviate the patient's discomfort.

TL;DR: Techniques to use computerized tomography to develop a three-dimensional model for the construction of implant framework, eliminating the direct bone impression surgery and the latter procedure has revolutionized the use of subperiosteal implants are outlined.

TL;DR: If dentists can learn to deal with their unique stresses, through either undergraduate or continuing dental education, then depression among practitioners could be noticeably reduced.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicated that some new patterns are emerging in computer usage by dentists, and the majority in this study reported utilizing micro- and minicomputers rather than commercial services.

TL;DR: There are no guarantees that if you follow these recommendations you will live longer, however, the life you live will be healthier, happier, more productive, and less stressful.

TL;DR: The prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patients is usually the culmination of a patient's dental treatment, and it is necessary to understand the patient, to make a thorough diagnosis, to coordinate the restoration with the other disciplines of dentistry, and to be knowledgeable of the spectrum of treatment modalities available.

TL;DR: Widespread automation across the scope of dental practice, education, research and administration is anticipated and without a strategic plan to guide automation efforts, the prospects for cohesive automation of the profession are dim.

TL;DR: The physical examination begins as soon as the patient enters the operatory and continues throughout the various stages of the diagnostic process, which will permit the clinician maximum opportunity to detect and identify irregularities and abnormalities that will increase or decrease the diagnostic options.
