Abstract: A process for replicating soft tissue anatomy of a dental patient prior to preparing an implant-supported fixed prosthesis is disclosed. The process may include: securing an interim prosthesis intra-orally in the dental patient for a predetermined time, after implants of the dental patient are osseointegrated, to evaluate the interim prosthesis based on a plurality of parameters within the mouth of the dental patient; printing a three-dimensional printed-resin prototype having an intaglio surface based on the evaluated interim prosthesis; attaching the three-dimensional printed-resin prototype into the implants; and injecting a low viscosity elastomeric impression material between the intaglio surface of the three-dimensional printed-resin prototype and the soft tissue of the dental patient to obtain a soft tissue replica for preparing the implant-supported fixed prosthesis.

Abstract: A method of treating osteomyelitis of the jaws (OMJ) can include sequestrectomy (removing necrotic bone) using piezoelectric vibrations and decortication (creating bleeding spots) using piezoelectric vibrations. The OMJ can include secondary chronic OMJ caused by previous dental implant placements. The method can further include administering dual antibiotic therapy to the patient. The dual antibiotic therapy can include administering Augmentin and Metronidazole to the patient for a period of about three weeks.
