The various components of the transport disc distraction osteogenesis device (University of Cape Town patent number PCT/IB2012/056664)

An apparatus and method for osteogenesis distraction of small alveolar bone is provided. The alveolar distraction osteogenesis device may be affixed to small and thin bone segments. An alveolar distraction osteogenesis device according to the first embodiment includes a submergible first and second members along with a threaded rod. An alveolar distraction osteogenesis device according to a second embodiment includes an osseointegrated cylindrical member along with an adaptable threaded rod which may be used with a stabilizing plate. The alveolar distraction osteogenesis device is activated using a hexagonal drive wrench or a slot screw driver. In order to allow for bone growth and/or distraction, a constant activation rate between bone segments is applied by a torque.

A prosthetic appliance for the replacement of areas of the maxilla, mandible, and face, missing as a result of deformity, disease, injury, or surgery. When the prosthesis replaces portions of the mandible only, it is referred to as MANDIBULAR PROSTHESIS ...

Once the head of the permanent mandibular prosthesis is positioned in the mid portion of the glenoid fossa, two 2.7mm screws are placed temporarily to secure the prosthesis. When drilling the holes for the ramus prosthesis, it is important to approximate the position of the inferior alveolar nerve to avoid any damage while placing the screws. If desired, a drill guide is available to assist in drilling. Once the prosthesis is placed temporarily, and the wounds are covered with sterile drapes, the surgeon then goes back into the oral cavity and removes the intermaxillary fixation. The mandible should be put through a reasonable range of motion with an interincisal opening of 30 to 35mm to assess the mechanical functioning of the joint, and to look for any subluxation, dislocation, or mechanical obstruction. If there is any question that the patient has increased muscle tone under a light anesthetic, it may be necessary to request that the anesthesiologist administer a short acting muscle relaxant ...

The current study investigated perioperative pain control and narcotic usage in men undergoing inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Bone regeneration and docking site healing after bone transport distraction osteogenesis in the canine mandible. AU - Nagashima, Lucy K.. AU - Rondon-Newby, Michelle.

N2 - Purpose: Bone transport distraction osteogenesis provides a promising alternative to traditional grafting techniques. However, existing bone transport distraction osteogenesis devices have many limitations. The purpose of this research was to test a new device, the mandibular bone transport reconstruction plate, in an animal model with comparable mandible size to humans and to histologically and mechanically examine the regenerate bone. Materials and Methods: Eleven adult foxhounds were divided into an unreconstructed control group of 5 animals and an experimental group of 6 animals. In each animal, a 34-mm segmental defect was ...

The majority of patients do not face any problem after surgery. Your physician should inform you on how to use the implanted device. The potential risks of surgery is the technical problem that may arise and inflammation. The probability of a technical problem with the new technology prostheses has dropped to ,5 % at 5 years, while the risk of contamination is avoided by systemic administration of antibiotics. The risk for complications is higher in patients with diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression and spinal cord injury.. ...

A penile prosthesis implantation device comprises a barrel having a bore, an obturator and a needle clamp. The obturator has a longitudinal axis, a first end and a second end. The second end of the obturator is adapted for slidable insertion into the bore of the barrel. The needle clamp is coupled to the second end of the obturator and comprises first and second pinching surfaces that are separated by a gap.

A 74-year-old woman presented with a chief complaint of a worn, stained,ill-fitting maxillary complete denture that she felt had minimal esthetic value (Figure 1). The optimal treatment plan consisted of a new, complete set of removable dentures but was not accepted by the patient due to financial constraints. The patient opted for a new maxillary denture with plans to replace the mandibular prosthesis at a later time.. The patient underwent a complete medical history review and oral cancer screening, both of which resulted in no barriers to treatment. The patients dental phobia was taken into consideration when treatment planning this case. A modified functional impression technique was planned for the final impression, which was the initial step in treatment. A large factor in choosing this particular technique was the on-site location of a dental laboratory that allowed for convenient, expedient model fabrication and articulation. The close proximity of laboratory to the operatory eliminated ...
