Abstract

Dental bridges are one of the treatments for tooth loss cases. Dental profession students at the Faculty of Dentistry of Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) conducted their first dental bridge treatment on patients. Evaluating patient satisfaction is essential to measure the success of treatments provided by dental students. This study aims to determine patient satisfaction with the dental bridges treatment provided by dental professional students at the Prosthodontics Polyclinic in terms of chewing, aesthetics and phonetics function, maintenance of the denture, and psychological aspects. This type of research is descriptive cross-sectional. Eighty-two dental bridges users were selected using total sampling at the Prosthodontic Polyclinic from September 2022 to February 2023 out of a total population of 86 users. The inclusion criteria included male or female patients using PFM or full metal dental bridges in the upper or lower jaw, worn for at least seven days to 6 months after definitive cementation, and made a control visit after the insertion of dental bridges. The instrument used was a modified questionnaire called the Patient Denture Assessment (PDA) and an Indonesian version of PDA (PDA-ID), with 12 modified Likert scale questions given online. The results of the study showed that 86,6% of the respondents were satisfied with masticatory function, 97,6% were satisfied with aesthetics and phonetics, 82,9% were satisfied with the maintenance of the denture, and 93,9% were satisfied with the psychological aspects of the use of dental bridges. Most patients were satisfied with dental bridges regarding chewing, aesthetics and phonetics function, denture maintenance, and psychological aspects.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Anterior implant placement is always challenging, especially when it is caused by trauma. Treatment preference is not only because of bone sufficiency but also aesthetic considerations. The complications aggravated by trauma and temporomandibular joint disorder need particular emphasis. The aim of this case report is to describe a new insight into dental implant treatment for trauma-induced edentulism and associated temporomandibular joint disorders. Case report: A 24-year-old woman had a motor vehicle accident. Her four anterior mandibular teeth were extracted through fractures. The patient also complained of clicking in both jaws during mouth opening. A bone graft and modification provisoris-stabilization splint were applied before definitive treatment. Furthermore, a 4-unit Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) implant-supported-fixed partial denture was done to replace the missing teeth. Conclusion: New insight into dental implant treatment for trauma-induced edentulism and associated temporomandibular joint disorders with replacement of several anterior mandibular missing teeth due to trauma with temporomandibular disorders could be treated with dental implant modification splint that functions as a temporary restoration as well, which was an alternative treatment option. The patient was satisfied with the result of the treatment, especially in the aesthetic aspect.KEYWORDSdental implant, trauma, temporomandibular joint disorders, splint

Abstract

Introduction: The loss of the bulbus oculi can occur due to congenital abnormalities or trauma. In severe trauma cases, enucleation is often necessary, involving the removal of the entire eyeball while preserving surrounding muscle and tissue. However, trauma may also damage the periocular muscles, affecting the fit and mobility of an ocular prosthesis, making rehabilitation more complex. The aim of this case report is to describe the clinical procedure and outcomes of fabricating a custom ocular prosthesis for a post-enucleation patient with compromised periocular muscle support due to trauma, emphasizing the importance of individualized prosthesis design in achieving optimal fit, aesthetics, and patient satisfaction..Case Report: This case presents the fabrication of a custom ocular prosthesis for a 40-year-old male patient who lost his left eye in a motorbike accident seven years ago. He previously used a prefabricated ocular prosthesis, which was uncomfortable, frequently dislodged, and did not fit his eye socket properly, significantly affecting his confidence and daily activities. His occupation as an online motorcycle taxi driver emphasized the need for a stable and aesthetically pleasing prosthesis. The rehabilitation process involved impression-taking with polyvinyl siloxane, wax sclera try-in for contour and retention assessment, acrylic sclera formation, iris and pupil positioning, and final prosthesis placement. Conclusion: This case report highlights the clinical challenges and solutions in managing an anophthalmic socket with inferior orbital deficiency through the use of a custom acrylic ocular prosthesis. The compromised support from the inferior periocular structures necessitated a highly tailored approach to ensure proper prosthesis retention, mobility, and aesthetic harmony. Through meticulous impression-taking, accurate iris positioning, and precise customization, the prosthesis successfully restored facial symmetry, improved patient comfort, and enhanced psychological well-being. This case underscores the importance of individualized prosthetic design in complex ocular rehabilitation cases, particularly those involving post-traumatic muscle loss.
