L’édentement complet demeure un handicap fréquent malgré les progrès obtenus par la prévention bucco-dentaire. La résorption continue de l’os alvéolaire suite à la perte des dents peut conduire à des situations cliniques défavorables pour nos patients. Dans ces cas, la réhabilitation par prothèse amovible complète constitue pour le praticien un défi très difficile à relever. Actuellement, l’utilisation d’implants comme supports de moyens de rétention complémentaires est le traitement de choix pour pallier au manque de stabilité et de rétention des prothèses amovibles complètes. Toutefois, l’empreinte piézographique, constitue une alternative intéressante surtout pour les patients chez qui le traitement implantaire ne peut être utilisé. Elle permet de réaliser des prothèses s’intégrant parfaitement au jeu musculaire fonctionnel liant anatomie et physiologie, en adaptant la forme à la fonction. Ce travail se donne pour objectif de démystifier cette technique pour la rendre accessible dans notre pratique quotidienne au plus grand nombre d’omnipraticiens.
Objective This study aimed to propose digitally designed impression trays, for newborns with cleft lip and palate (CLP) defects, using the computer-assisted design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique, based on measurements of width, length, and height made on processed and scanned plaster models. Thus, we will describe the different software and concepts that can be used for the design of these impression trays. Design A total of 59 plaster casts of newborn patients with CLP were collected and then scanned. After that, digital dental casts were three-dimensional (3D) evaluated, using precise anatomical landmarks. Setting The Maxillofacial Prosthodontics Team at the Dental consultation and treatment center in Rabat, Morocco. Patients and Participants The study involved plaster casts of newborns with CLP, who had undergone presurgical neonatal treatment in the Maxillofacial Prosthodontics service in Rabat, Morocco. Interventions None, Main Outcome Measure(s) 3D evaluation of 59 scanned plaster casts of newborn patients with CLP. Results This work allowed us to obtain digital impression trays for each anatomical variation of orofacial clefts. These trays will limit the problems linked to conventional techniques for making neonatal orthopedic plates. We also emphasized the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving several professionals in Morocco from various fields and specialties. Conclusion This original technique is advantageous for the practitioner as well as for the patients and their parents. It allows for precise recording, better adaptation, time-saving, and parental comfort.
Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic epithelial tumor without induction of odontogenic ectomesenchyme. Although classified as a benign tumor, ameloblastoma can be very extensive and may involve an invasion of the immediate surrounding structures with a high potential for recurrence [1].
