Treating Xerostomia Patients:
A Clinical Conversation with Dr. Christopher Travis
Dentists are often the first to identify patients who are experiencing
the effects of xerostomia, or dry mouth. Here, Dr. Christopher
Travis offers a brief refresher on oral anatomy and the major sets
of salivary glands as he explores the symptoms, causes, treatment
options, and advantages of dental implants for xerostomia patients.
Implant prostheses can provide a good solution for these patients.
Creating Surgical Guides Using CBCT and
Intraoral Scanning
Among recent advances in the use of Align Technology’s iTero
optical scanner is the ability to merge its generic STL files
directly with CBCT DICOM files to allow for the creation of very
precise, tooth-borne surgical guides. In this clinical case report,
Dr. Perry Jones showcases the use of oral scanning technology to
plan implant placement, create a precise surgical guide in a virtual
environment, place implant fixtures, and restore those implants —
all without the use of a conventional analog model.
“Rules of 10” — Guidelines for Successful
Planning and Treatment of Mandibular Edentulism
Using Dental Implants
The three “Rules of 10” for treatment planning dental implant therapy
in the edentulous mandible are designed to improve the success
of both endosseous implants and the prosthesis. These so-called
rules acknowledge and provide a method to control the mechanical
environment, addressing factors affecting implant and prosthesis
longevity. Dr. Lyndon Cooper, et al., outline and provide support
for these rules, then illustrate their application in the treatment of
mandibular edentulism.
