Abstract

Edentulism presents a significant issue for both patients, impacting their psychophysiological well-being, and for dentists, posing challenges in planning appropriate treatments. Advances in technology, materials, and surgical methods have progressively improved individual quality of life. Given that there is no universal solution for all patients, treatment plans must be tailored to address each individual's specific needs in the most suitable manner. Alveolar ridge atrophy, resulting from... More extractions, plays a crucial role in planning implant prosthetic rehabilitation. Various techniques have been described to compensate for or correct the loss of bone structure. The most commonly used methods include bone augmentation and vestibuloplasty. Bone augmentation aims to provide sufficient bone material necessary for dental implant placement, utilizing biological materials such as bone grafts and membranes. Vestibuloplasty involves deepening the vestibular sulcus to increase the seating area for proper fit of complete and partial dentures. The application of these techniques ensures better and more predictable outcomes for the implant prosthetic rehabilitation of atrophic jaws. Less

Abstract (croatian)

Bezubost kao stanje predstavlja značajan problem kako za pacijenta, utječući na njegove psihofiziološke aspekte, tako i za stomatologa, stvarajući izazov pri planiranju adekvatne terapije. Napretkom tehnologije i materijala, te usavršavanjem operativnih metoda, kvaliteta života pojedinca danas postaje sve bolja. S obzirom na to da ne postoji jedinstveno riješenje kojim bi se moglo pristupiti svim pacijentima, izrada plana terapije mora biti usmjerena prema pojedincu i riješavanju... More njegova problema na najprikladniji mogući način. Atrofija alveolarnog gebena nastala kao posljedica ekstrakcija može igrati značajnu ulogu pri planiranju implantoprotetske rehabilitacije, stoga su opisane brojne tehnike kojima se gubitak koštane strukture može nadomjestiti, odnosno korigirati. Najčešće korištene metode koje se upotrebljavaju u tu svrhu uključuju augmentaciju kosti i vestibuloplastiku. Augmenacijom kosti nastoji se osigurati dovoljno koštanog materijala potrebnoga za ugradnju dentalnih implantata, a u tu svrhu se koriste biološki materijali kao što su koštani graftovi i membrane. Vestibuloplastika podrazumijeva produbljenje vestibularne brazde s ciljem povećanja ležišta za pravilan dosjed potpunih i djelomičnih proteza. Primjenom ovih tehnika osiguravaju se bolji i predvidljiviji krajnji rezultati implantoprotetske sanacije atrofičnih čeljusti. Less
