Development of a Device for Removing a Partial Denture in a Patient with Scleroderma

Scleroderma is a chronic disease that has been associated with immune dysfunction. One of the oral manifestations is microsomia, a result of collagen deposition in the perioral tissues. The complexity of treating these patients includes limited mouth opening ability, and difficulty inserting and removing dentures due to finger deformity. This article will describe an appliance specially designed especially for scleroderma patients, which facilitates treatment of the patient with removable partial dentures (RPD).     

Factors influencing survival of reconstructions. Consensus report of Working Group 2

Abstract: In order to evaluate the level of evidence of factors influencing the survival of reconstructions, systematic reviews of the relevant literature were prepared by a group of rapporteurs. The review papers were circulated to the members of the group before the conference and formed the basis for group and panel discussions. Subsequently, modifications were added to the review papers, and suggestions for consensus statements concerning the following topics were prepared and again critically reviewed in the group and in the plenum: Impact of (i) periodontal disease on the survival of tooth-supported reconstructions, (ii) post-surgical factors as supportive therapy on the survival of implant supported reconstructions, (iii) technical and/or biological complications on the survival of different types of reconstructions, (iiii) material choice for reconstructions on the survival of single crowns and fixed dental prostheses.

Functional adaptation to full‐arch fixed prosthesis supported by osseointegrated implants in the edentulous mandible

The objective of the present study was to assess possible adaptive functional changes in the masticatory system after insertion of fixed prostheses supported by osseointegrated implants in the edentulous mandible. Registrations of mandibular movement characteristics and maximal biteforce were performed at insertion and after 1 week, 3 months and 1 year after connection. The duration of the opening and closing phase decreased and maximal biteforce increased significantly (p < or = 0.05-0.001) from connection of the prostheses to the annual check-up. However, the process of functional adaptation implied 2 identified stages. An immediate phase that occurred within the 1st week, probably due to altered impact from mechano-sensitive receptors and a later more time-dependent phase, based on learning and new cortical engrams. Accordingly, the process of adaptation will continue over a long period of time.     

多孔陶瓷板固定床生物反应器设计及模拟

设计了一种结构新型的多孔陶瓷固定床生物反应器，与传统的固定床相比，该反应器具有氧传递性能好，能够均匀接种等优点，通过模拟，考察了反应器内的流体流动和气液传递性质，计算证明反应器的供氧能力能够满足链霉菌发酵过程对氧的需求。     

正畸固定矫治前后牙齿冷光美白疗效的对比研究

目的:了解经固定矫治的正畸患者在牙齿美白治疗后牙齿表面中部出现较规则斑块的成因。方法:分别对正畸及非正畸治疗患者、正畸治疗前后拔除的离体牙进行牙齿美白治疗,对牙列组进行视觉对比,对离体牙组进行扫描电镜对比。结果:经正畸治疗的牙列在美白治疗后牙面有色斑存在,而正畸治疗后拔除的离体牙的扫描电镜结果则显示有釉质-树脂突嵌合层存在。结论:经正畸治疗后牙齿表层的釉质-树脂突嵌合层是导致牙面出现色斑的原因。     

深覆盖患者正畸矫治后的面部软组织美学特征改变

目的:对两例生长发育高峰期后的骨性下颌后缩患者成功矫正深覆盖后的面部软组织改变进行研究。方法:患者矫治前后的头颅侧位X线片进行描图和重叠,分析软组织的变化。结果:软组织主要变化有:下面高增加,下唇明显前移,上唇后移,颏唇沟变浅,唇肌紧张度改善。结论:固定矫治器配合Forsus矫治器和II类间牵引使两例严重深覆盖患者的侧貌得到了明显改善。但矫正效果主要为牙颌-牙槽代偿,临床中需谨慎应用,注意病例选择。

活动翼矫治器的研制与初步应用

目的评价活动翼矫治器的设计原理与矫治效能。方法应用活动翼矫治器对588例错畸形病例进行矫治。对2001年～2004年的389例进行研究,分析其疗效、疗程、复诊次数、弓丝使用等情况。结果病例完成时间为4～15个月,平均为8.13个月。复诊次数4～13次,平均7.55次。平均每例上颌使用弓丝1.95根、下颌1.98根。仅11例病例使用口外支抗。结论活动翼矫治器是一种新研发的高效能矫治器,能够明显缩短疗程、减少复诊次数、减少弓丝用量
