Oral Cavity

4.0K
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.5K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Oral Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Atrophic edentulous maxilla presents significant challenges for fixed prostheses.
  • Fixed implant-supported prostheses require optimal implant placement, often difficult in atrophic ridges.
  • Removable prostheses offer alternatives, utilizing fewer implants and anatomical support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the fabrication of a partial palatal coverage overdenture.
  • To demonstrate the use of zygomatic implants for retention in atrophic maxillae.
  • To present a treatment option for complex cases of edentulism.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a partial palatal coverage overdenture.
  • Utilizing zygomatic implants for support and retention.
  • Clinical treatment protocol for rehabilitation.

Main Results:

  • Successful fabrication of the overdenture.
  • Stable retention achieved with zygomatic implants.
  • Improved function and aesthetics for the patient.

Conclusions:

  • Zygomatic implant-retained overdentures are a feasible treatment for atrophic edentulous maxillae.
  • This approach simplifies rehabilitation in complex cases.
  • Offers a predictable prosthetic solution for challenging implant arrangements.
