Abstract: The oral rehabilitation treatment aims to return esthetics, function, comfort, phonetics and health to the patient. Oral treatment requires careful planning, according to the biological and mechanical principles that rule contemporary odontology. Complex clinical cases of oral rehabilitation require interdisciplinary treatment with the need for orthodontic treatment, endodontics, implants and prosthetics. This work describes a multidisciplinary clinical case of oral rehabilitation involving orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, surgery, implant insertion and aesthetic restorative dentistry, with an im-plant-supported prosthesis approach.

Abstract: Hiatus hernia and GORD is a common problem, with many different approaches to treatment. Management has changed dramatically over the years as new and varied treatments have become available. The treatment differs between countries depending on the availability of the various therapies. Overall, medical therapy is undoubtedly the commonest form of treatment, with surgery being used as second line therapy or for intractable symptoms. This paper provides an overview of reflux disease and the available treatments, as well as describing the most common surgical techniques, providing the practitioner with guidance as to when surgery may be a viable option.

Abstract: The principle of a suction cup is used to retain an upper full denture. Alveolar resorption results in loss of the vestibular depth and in diminished functional surface to overcome lateral forces. Traditional surgery has the following characteristics in common-need for incisions with steel scalpels, mechanical excision of the muscle attachment from the periosteum, placement of sutures, significant postoperative discomfort, and delayed healing. When the benefits and risks of alternative treatment modalities are taken into account for this mechanical surgical procedure, minimally invasive laser-assisted soft-tissue excision and ablation seems to be very attractive technique. In the presented case report we used an Er:YAG laser (LiteTouch, Syneron, Israel) to deep the oral vestibulum of upper jaw in edentulous patient. Therefore, were indicated, we recommend the laser assisted operation technique for the partial vestibuloplasty to assure the patients a better postoperative outcome.
