We are committed to life-long prosthodontic care as healthcare partners with our patients. Standards serve the profession and protect patients. However, we are living in an era of coarseness, polarization, misinformation, and litigious activism that is blurring the lines among dental specialties. Recent rulings have set a dangerous trend whereby the courts are interpreting and determining professional credentials. This has led to further confusion for patients in trying to determine who is best qualified to meet their advanced dental treatment needs. Lee M. Jameson, Recent state court rulings in Florida and California have, in essence, ignored existing D.D.S., M.S., F.A.C.P. professional standards and repealed state professional regulations requiring the ADA disclaimer for any dentist advertising their additional credentials from a credentialing organization that is not an ADA-recognized specialty.

The etiology of this cleft is still not clear. They may repair spontaneously or persist as surface lesions of deep periodontal pockets that penetrate into the supporting tissues. Here we report a case of stillman’s cleft in the mandibular left lateral incisor region treated with de-epithelialisation.

  • The Influence of Controlled Occlusal Overload on Peri-Implant Tissue. Part 3: a Histologic Study in Monkeys
    The Influence of Controlled Occlusal Overload on Peri-implant Tissue. Part 3: A Histologic Study in Monkeys Takashi Miyata, DDS, DDSc1/Yukinao Kobayashi, DDS2/Hisao Araki, DDS, DDSc3/ Takaichi Ohto, DDS4/Kitetsu Shin, DDS, DDSc5 The influence of experimental occlusal overload on peri-implantitis in monkeys (Macaca fascicu- laris) has been examined to explain the pathology of the disease that develops in the tissue around osseointegrated implants. In the first article of this series, it was reported that bone resorption was not observed around implants when occlusal trauma was produced by a super- structure that was in supraocclusal contact with an excess occlusal height of approximately 100 µm, provided there was no inflammation in the peri-implant tissue. In the second part of the study, experimental inflammation was created in the peri-implant tissue, and occlusal overload was produced by a superstructure with an excess occlusal height of 100 µm. Notable bone resorption was observed around the implant with the passage of time. These results suggested that, in addition to the control of inflammation in peri-implant tissue, traumatic occlusion may play a role in bone breakdown around the implant. In the present study, while the peri-implant tis- sue was kept in an inflammation-free state, bone level changes around the implants were investi- gated when various levels of traumatic force were exerted. The supraoccluding prostheses were defined as excessively high by 100 µm, 180 µm, and 250 µm, respectively. The heights were determined with an image analysis device, and the bone responses around the implants induced by the traumatic forces were investigated.

  • Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics (2020)
    SUPPLEMENT ARTICLE Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics doi: 10.1111/jopr.13176 PREAMBLE—Third Edition THE PARAMETERS OF CARE continue to stand the test of time and reflect the clinical practice of prosthodontics at the specialty level. The specialty is defined by these parameters, the definition approved by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Education and Licensure (2001), the American Board of Prosthodontics Certifying Examination process and its popula- tion of diplomates, and the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) Standards for Advanced Education Programs in Prosthodontics. The consistency in these four defining documents represents an active philosophy of patient care, learning, and certification that represents prosthodontics. Changes that have occurred in prosthodontic practice since 2005 required an update to the Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics. Advances in digital technologies have led to new methods in all aspects of care. Advances in the application of dental materials to replace missing teeth and supporting tissues require broadening the scope of care regarding the materials selected for patient treatment needs. Merging traditional prosthodontics with innovation means that new materials, new technology, and new approaches must be integrated within the scope of prosthodontic care, including surgical aspects, especially regarding dental implants. This growth occurred while emphasis continued on interdisciplinary referral, collaboration, and care. The Third Edition of the Parameters of Care for the Specialty of Prosthodontics is another defining moment for prosthodontics and its contributions to clinical practice. An additional seven prosthodontic parameters have been added to reflect the changes in clinical practice and fully support the changes in accreditation standards.
