SINGLE SHORT IMPLANT IN MAXILLARY SECOND MOLAR IN AREAS OF LOW DENSITY. RETROSPECTIVE STUDY:
The replacement of maxillary second molars with implants is challenging due to reduced residual bone height and low bone density in the posterior maxillary region near the tuberosity. This complexity increases when replacing these molars as single units. This article presents a series of clinical cases where maxillary second molars were replaced with unitary implants, detailing the challenges and solutions. read more…

Ceramic veneers are either fabricated using CAD/CAM technology or indirectly by a dental technician, while composite veneers can be directly placed or indirectly fabricated. Veneers are adhesively bonded to the tooth with resin cement and are popular in esthetic dentistry due to minimal tooth preparation required. Read more…
