A Novel Approach for Converting a Mandibular Complete Denture to a Fixed Interim, Screw‐Retained Implant Prostheses: A Case Report

Abstract

For most of the last century, conventional complete dentures have been the standard of care and the most common treatment for edentulous patients. Technological advancements in fabrication techniques may significantly reduce the number of office visits required to fabricate complete dentures. Immediate occlusal loading with mandibular full arch prostheses has been extensively researched and is now one of the standards of care for edentulous patients. A clinical technique for converting a mandibular immediate complete denture to an interim full arch, screw‐retained fixed prosthesis with novel implant restorative components for immediate loading on four implants is described.

Diagnosis, pathophysiology and preventive strategies for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury: a narrative review

“…The normal range of renal autoregulation is 75 to 160 mmHg, and MAP is usually below the lower limit of this range during CPB. However, in two RCTs, increasing MAP during CPB was not shown to be associated with a reduced incidence of AKI or chronic kidney injury [ 123 ]. In a trial comparing a high MAP target (70–80 mmHg) with a low MAP target (40–50 mmHg) during CPB, a significantly larger number of patients doubled postoperative SCr levels in the high target group [ 124 ].…”
