La prótesis maxilofacial comprende aquellos dispositivos artificiales que restauran una parte ausente de la cara, debido a tumores, traumatismos, o como resultado de una anomalía congénita. El objetivo de este artículo es la exposición de un caso clínico que precisaba la confección de una prótesis óculo-palpebral tras sufrir una pérdida de sustancia por causa oncológica. Este tipo de prótesis son de las más difíciles de elaborar con buenos resultados pues intentan reconstruir un órgano móvil con una prótesis estática. La prótesis maxilofacial tiene la finalidad de aumentar la calidad de vida del paciente y ayudar a la seguridad emocional de los mismos, quedando así rehabilitados para poder integrarse nuevamente en la sociedad.

La estomatitis protésica es una inflamación crónica de la mucosa oral debida al contacto con una prótesis extraible. Es un proceso difícil de controlar en los pacientes portadores de este tipo de prótesis. La patología involucra diferentes factores predisponentes, y el más importante de ellos es la presencia de Candida. En el presente artículo se describe el manejo del paciente y las dificultades de los tratamientos actuales para eliminar de las prótesis y de la mucosa oral los residuos fúngicos. Se concluye que los hábitos de higiene oral y personal en pacientes portadores de prótesis extraible son los métodos principales para evitar la aparición de la patología. Una vez instaurada, podemos controlar al paciente con medidas higiénicas y agentes antifúngicos, pero debemos ser conscientes de las limitaciones terapéuticas ante los depósitos de Candidade las prótesis. En algunos casos puede estar indicada la sustitución de la prótesis por una nueva.

Objectives: Assess the main problems referred by the patients and observed by the professionals after the bucodental rehabilitation with an implant-supported hybrid prothesis. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in which there were 43 patients included who were visited in the Department of Oral Surgery and Orofacial Implantology of University of Barcelona Dental School for one year. An oral rehabilitation with an implant-supported hybrid prosthesis was made to those patients. The following variables were registered: age, gender, number of inserted implants, type of implant and principal problems produced by the hybrid prosthesis. Results: The rehabilitation with an implant supported hybrid prosthesis was only performed in 43 of 116 cases treated in one year (January, 2006 to January, 2007). They were 26 men and 17 women of ages between 37 and 74 years, being the rate age of 56,5 years. The main complication recorded was the mucositis, associated frequently with a difficulty to carry a correct oral hygiene and to an overextention of the tail of resin of the prosthesis. Other observed problems were the peri-implantitis, the break of the acrylic teeth and the loss of some of the prosthetic screws. Conclusions: The most frequent complication after the laying of an implant supported hybrid prosthesis was the mucositis, associated mainly with a prosthetic tail too long and to the consequent difficulty of carrying a correct oral hygiene. In spite of the high prevalence of observed complications, most of them were mild and resolved on subsequent visits.

Introduction: The overeruption of upper molars due to the premature loss of antagonist teeth can be treated with the help of miniscrews. The aim of this study was to evaluate the movement of a typodont molar according to the biomechanical approach used with miniscrews. Study design: The study was conducted with four plaster models filled with typodont wax. In each model we used one absolute anchorage on the palatal side and another on the buccal side in different positions, thus generating four different biomechanical systems. A force of 150 g was applied to each side of the resin tooth. Periapical radiographs were taken preintrusion and immediately after completion of the intrusion. Photographs were taken in both the sagittal and occlusal planes every 3 min. The radiographic films and photographs were measured and compared. Results: A vertical movement of the molar was observed in all the models, with system 4 showing the greatest movement. Rotation in the occlusal plane only occurred in system 2, while in system 1 there was a change in the axial axis of 37 degrees. Conclusions: The anchorage site and the combination of forces applied may determine the resulting tooth movement

Introduction: Zygomatic implants are a good rehabilitation alternative for upper maxilla with severe bone reabsorption. These implants reduce the need for onlay-type bone grafting in the posterior sectors and for maxillary sinus lift procedures - limiting the use of bone grafts to the anterior zone of the upper jaw in those cases where grafting is considered necessary. Objective: To evaluate the survival of 101 zygomatic implants placed in upper maxilla presenting important bone reabsorption, with a follow-up of 1-72 months. Patients and methods: A retrospective study was made of 101 Zygoma® implants (Nobel Biocare, Göteborg, Sweden) placed in 54 patients with totally edentulous and atrophic upper maxilla, in the period between 1998-2004. There were 35 women and 19 men, subjected to rehabilitation in the form of fixed prostheses and overdentures using 1-2 zygomatic implants and 2-7 implants in the anterior maxillary zone. The principal study variables were smoking, a history of sinusitis, the degree of bone reabsorption, and peri-implant bone loss, among others. Results: The descriptive analysis of the 101 zygomatic implants placed in 54 patients with a mean age of 56 years (range 38-75) yielded a percentage survival of 96.04%, with four failed implants that were removed (two before and two after prosthetic loading). Nine patients were smokers, and none of the 54 subjects reported a history of sinus disorders. Discussion and conclusions: Zygomatic implants are designed for use in compromised upper maxilla. They allow the clinician to shorten the treatment time, affording an interesting alternative for fixed prosthetic rehabilitation. This study confirms that zygomatic bone offers predictable anchorage and acceptable support function for prostheses in atrophic jaws. However, these implants are not without complications. Longer-term evaluations are needed of zygomatic implant survival in order to establish a correct clinical prognosis

Implant fracture is an infrequent cause of implant failure. The present study evaluates 21 fractured implants, with an analysis of patient age and sex, the type, length and diameter of the implant, positioning in the dental arch, the type of prosthetic rehabilitation involved, the number of abutments and pontics, the presence or absence of distal extensions or cantilevers, and loading time to fracture. Implant fracture was more common in males than in females (15:4), and the mean patient age was 56.9 years. Most cases (n = 19) corresponded to implant-supported fixed prostheses - 16 with cantilevers of different lengths- while only two fractured implants were supporting overdentures instead of fixed prostheses. The great majority of fractured implants (80.9%) were located in the molar and premolar regions, and most fractured within 3-4 years after loading. It is important to know and apply the measures required to prevent implant fracture, and to seek the best individualized solution for each case - though complete implant removal is usually the treatment of choice

L’objectiu d’aquest projecte és integrar a la plataforma Starviewer ( plataforma informàtica de processament i visualització d’imatges mèdiques creada fruit de la col•laboració del Laboratori de Gràfics i Imatge (GILab) de la Universitat de Girona i l’Institut de Diagnòstic per la Imatge (IDI) de l’hospital Dr. Josep Trueta de Girona) per donar suport al diagnòstic un entorn de suport a la inserció de pròtesis, que permeti automatitzar al màxim les operacions que actualment es realitzen de forma manual. Hem de tenir en compte que, tot i que, la imatge més usada pel radiòleg es la radiografia (Rx) també treballa amb tomografia computada (TAC). El TAC dona una visió 3D de l’organisme, mentre que la Rx és 2D

Els nous implants de genoll pretenen millorar la flexió màxima aconseguida amb els implants convencionals. El nostre estudi pretén demostrar que els pacients intervinguts quirúrgicament, per a la implantació d’una artroplàstia total de genoll d’alta flexió, són capaços d’aconseguir un balanç articular i una flexió màxima superior a l’aconseguida pels pacients tractats amb el model convencional. La flexió màxima post-operatòria, a l’any de la intervenció, va ser 13º major en el grup de pacients portadors d’un implant d’alta flexió, respecte al grup de pacients portadors d’un implant convencional. (P & 0,05).

S’evalua la supervivència lliure de progressió i la supervivència global dels pacients amb càncer de còlon que han debutat amb oclusió intestinal i com a primer tractament s’ha col.locat una pròtesis metàl.lica autoexpandible al còlon prèviament a la cirurgia del tumor primari. És un estudi retrospectiu i unicèntric on s’inclouen 45 pacients. Els resultats de l’estudi demostren que el fet de col.locar una pròtesis en la fase aguda de l’oclusió no empitjora el pronòstic a llarg termini d’aquests pacients.

OBJECTIVE: Assess the degree of satisfaction in a series of patients between 50 and 60 years of age who underwent surgery in our unicompartmental prosthesis unit (UPU) for monocompartmental gonarthrosis. Likewise, the definition based on current literature is assessed, as well as our experience in the indications, inconveniences and results of the internal knee unicompartmental arthroplasty discussed with supra-tuberosity tibial osteotomy, which was the common surgical option in these cases.MATERIAL AND METHOD: This study included 19 patients between 50 and 60 years of age (average age 56.7 years) (Interval of 51-60 years) intervened between 7/2007 and 11/2011 by the same surgeon (GDFB). Functional assessment used the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) questionnaire. A bibliographic search was performed in the MEDLINE, COCHRANE and EMBASE databases from 1988 to 2012. RESULTS: With an average follow-up of 29.4 months, 16 of 19 patients stated that they were satisfied with the results obtained and would repeat the intervention. One patient sufered a prosthetic infection and was reviewed for total knee replacement with good results. CONCLUSIONS: the medial, unicompartmental arthroplasty of the knee is a valid surgical option and reproducible in the medium term treatment of monocompartmental gonarthrosis in patients between 50 and 60 years of age.
