The same edentulous subject was allowed to wear both complete mandibular dentures with and without suction to compare the differences in masticatory movements that were measured with the Gnatho-Hexahraph II, a device for measuring mandibular movement.
The following improvements were shown in all chewing patterns of right-lateral and left-lateral chewing and free chewing while wearing the complete mandibular dentures with suction compared to wearing dentures without suction:
1) Reduction in mouth opening-closing time.
2) Increase in the range of mouth opening.
3) Improvement in chewing rate.
4) Improvement in stability of chewing rhythm.
The Values measured were closer to those of masticatory movements in healthy dentulous persons. Thus, the masticatory movements while wearing the complete mandibular dentures with suction seemed to be physiologically and efficiently executed.

It is often that symptom of TMD is maldistributed in right TMJ and left TMJ either. However depending on a case, it presents a complicated aspect that there are clicks in both sides, or there is a click one side and there is a pain in the other side.
From viewpoint of the Kamiguse, both a click and a pain occur by the restriction of temporomandibular movement due to retro-posterior power more than required. So we take the same application to both a click and a pain, but we approach a pain first not a click, taking the QOL into account.

The implant treatment is recognized as deficit prosthetic treatment with the foreseeability today. It precede implant placement, and it is often that the extraction of a tooth is necessary. The immediate implant placement is one of the effective cures on this occasion when I control the absorption of the tooth extraction socket and the collapse of the alveolar bone and a buccal soft tissue and the involution of the papilla between the teeth and shorten a treatment period more.
Measures such as from or the connective tissue graft to tooth extrusion of the implant plan, tooth are necessary to keep height and the quantity of the gingiva relationship in the aesthetic appreciation domains such as maxilla tooth.
We performed immediate implant placement after tooth extrusion to maxilla left side incisive tooth. Bone addition happened than appearance to risk its life of the correction, and, as for the alveolar bone, the initial fixation of the implant was provided.
The case is a woman of 51 years who came to a hospital as a chief complaint as for the shake of the upper jaw left side incisor tooth. At the time of the first examination, I recognized examination in the oral cavity and the X-rays transmitted image which doubted inside absorption by X-rays examination in the dental root central part.
Diagnose the teeth as being impossible of a save for unrest by the dental root absorption, and is aimed by the hyperplasia of the root apex side alveolar bone and the increase of the soft tissue, and correction risks its life; let appear, and planned Immediate placement implant with the autogenous bone graft.
I performed implant placement with I used a power tube after medical treatment measures in the tooth in maxilla left side incisive tooth, and risked its life, extracting a tooth soup stock. Because a lip side alveolar bone did a cleavage in placement, I used GBR method together with self bone graft.
Connective tissue grafted it I increased last prosthetic sensuousness and cornification organizations at the time of a second operation, and to plan function improvement and shifted to a prothesis after a follow-up in provisional restoration in the last. Tooth lap organization and occlusion is stable together and passes well now.

Mini-implants, often referred to as temporary anchorage devices, have become an accepted component of orthodontic treatment.
Morever, mini-implants for denture stabilization also become an excellent solution for the problem of loose fitting denture.
The author have been experienced a large number of mini-implants cases and achieved favorable outcomes. Furthermore, mini-implants can be applied for another use. For example, the author often applied this mini-implants for temporary anchorage devices to receive a removable partial denture in a healing period when placing osseointegreted implant. If the placed mini-implants receive all the occlusal forces, osseointegrated implant can be protected from any occlusal forces until osseointegration is achieved.
There are a number of case reports in the literature on complications caused by the placement and use of mini-implants. In the coming years, more case reports and randomized studies will likely demonstrate that the benefits of mini-implants, thus allowing the clinicians to expand the treatment options for all patients.

In this study relation between the clinical prognoses of Hydroxyapatite coated implants (HA implants) during function and several clinical parameters evaluated at the set of superstructures were investigated to increase the predictability of implants. 181 patients inserted HA implants and engaged in the function with superstructures supported with HA implants for 5-14 years in one private dental office were evaluated. The number of implants evaluated was 566. During the examination period 54, implants (9.5%) of 33 patients failed or suffered from bone resorption after the function.On the other hand. 512 implants (90.5%) of 148 patients showed excellent prognosis. Evaluation of clinical parameters was performed at the set of superstructures. In addition, evaluation of implant bodies was also performed at the set of superstructures and at the interval of maintenance. Each clinical parameter was evaluated whether it attributed the prognoses of HA implants after the function and could be used as a guideline of predictable prognoses. Odds ratio indicated that Clinical parameters related with the prognoses of HA implants were BOP ratio (>25%), PD of residual teeth (>6mm), the existence of the furcation involvement, resorption of alveolar bone (>50%), diameter of implant body (3.25mm), and the length of implant body (8mm) . On the other hand, other parameters besides mentioned above had less relation to the prognoses of HA implants. These results suggested the parameters related with the prognosis of HA implants are useful to predict the prognosis of implant during function.

In prosthetic treatment with an implant-supported bridge, if the patient's desire of retaining as many of his/her teeth as possible is accepted, we often have trouble in the prosthetic design for a mixed dental arch containing a few residual teeth and implants. In this case, an implant-supported bridge of combining the electroforming technique and hybrid ceramics was fabricated, thus good results were obtained.
The patient was a 52-year-old woman who visited the clinic with the chief complaint of mobility of the anterior maxillary bridge and in the hope of implant treatment at the posterior maxillary defective sites. Examination at the initial visit indicated that the conservable teeth in the maxilla were teeth nos. 14, 12, and 23. Thus, implants were placed at teeth nos. 17, 15, 11, 22, 24, 26, and 27 sites and the residual teeth were prepared to fabricate the implant-supported bridge removable by the operator of combining electroforming and hybrid ceramics. Although only two years after completion of therapy have passed at present, good results are obtained.
It seems that the greatest merit of this method is to allow fabrication of the highest accurate prosthesis in long-span cases. Also, this method seems to be available in a mixed case containing natural teeth and implants as this.

Everyone longs to have beautiful white teeth, and the interest in teeth whitening is rising recently. The number of patients hoping to have teeth whitening treatment is increasing year by year.
The patients expect their teeth to be perfectly white. If the outcome of every treatment resulted this way, there would be no problems. However, each treatment does not always end in the way the manual describes. This report describes how a dental hygienist can achieve positive results for patients.

In the course of periodontal treatment, the major works of the hygienists are taking periodontal examination records, scaling, root planing and plaque controlling. Among them, periodontal examination and dental X-ray photos are the most important factors when we start periodontal treatment. We must have a good eye that can observe the gingival and distinguish the dental X-ray photos, because the each treatment path depends on our judgments of the oral tissue. We should always train ourselves on the examination skill and judging abilities.
