   Abstract:	Implantoprosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible is a substantial advance in comparison to a conventional complete denture. Proven advantages of this mode of therapy include better life quality and long-term support and prevention of bone resorption. Early implant therapy in the mandible considers fixed complete denture, but there are indications that removable solutions are also acceptable. Implant supported overdenture represents a possible prosthetic solution in situations where retention is enabled by implants and the greater part of load is distributed on the alveolar crest. This procedure includes placement of two intraforaminal implants. Cost-benefit ratio is acceptable, since a minimal number of implants is used with a relatively simple fabrication protocol. Case: Male patient, aged 68 years, is referred to a prosthetic specialist due to the inability to wear lower complete denture. Diagnostics show massive alveolar crest resorption, and the treatment plan is presented to the patient, consisting of an implant-supported overdenture. Medical history reveals that patient is receiving anticoagulation therapy so implant placement is performed in the Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka under medical supervision. In the regions B and D one implant (AstraTech, Sweden), diameter 3.5 mm, length 11 mm) was placed and the implants were immediately loaded with an overdenture.

   Abstract:	Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is the most promising osteoinductive substance and has demonstrated the ability to stimulate bone regeneration. Several animal studies confirmed that the application of bone morphogenetic proteins caused a more rapid and enhanced osseointegration of simultaneously placed implants when compared to the bone substitute alone. To our knowledge, only two case reports presented clinical use of BMP-7 in maxillofacial surgery (maxillary sinus floor elevation; Le Fort I osteotomy and advancement).We present patient with recurrent ameloblastoma treated by segmental osteotomy of the mandible. The bone defect (6 cm length) was reconstructed by autogenous iliac crest bone grafts using BMP-7 (Stryker Biotech, USA). Radiographic evidence of new bone formation was seen at 9 months, postoperatively. A biopsy was taken at 9 months demonstrated viable new bone formation. A year after the reconstruction we have inserted three dental implants (Ankylos ®, Friadent, Germany). One implant failed, and two years after the insertion we have loaded two implants with ceramic bridge. Follow-up period is two years. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of dental implants inserted in resected mandible reconstructed by bone graft using bone morphogenetic protein. The problem of BMP-7 dosage and overgrowth of the graft should be discussed. Although this case has shown encouraging results, long-term results and the predictability of nthis type of reconstruction in humans are still unknown.

   Abstract:	Complete edentoulism of the mandible, regardless of the atrophy grade, can simply and successfully be treated with overdenture supported with 2-4 implants. Stabilization and retention of such an overdenture can be obtained with various attachments, but despite a great versatility, clinical practice shows that the most used ones are bars and ball retention. Bar retention shows good clinical results, but numerous investigations have shown that force distribution on abutments and implants is favorable when telescopic or conical crowns are used. Not only do they give more favorable axial force load, they give the best overdenture stability. The advantage of such systems is that they need less correction and interventions after the completion of work. It seems that two implants with telescopic crowns and an overdenture should be an optimal protocol for edentulous mandible. We present a case of extreme mandibular atrophy that was successfully treated with three Ankylos® (Friadent, Germany) implants and an overdenture that was supported with a conventional telescopic system (SynCone System®, Friadent).

   Abstract:	The conical crown was introduced more than twenty years ago, as a development of the well-known telescopic crown. It can be a very useful solution for immediate implant retained prosthodontic rehabilitation in the mandible. It is one of the standard treatment concepts that offers immediate stabilization of pre-existing denture and is regarded far from experimental today. It enhances comfort to the patient and reduces the number of surgical steps. Although more and more patients ask for an accelerated implant treatment, sometimes additional costs or presumed safety hazards can discourage them. In such situations, late restoration is also viable option. In the last two years, we have been treating 8 patients (5 male, 3 female) with complete mandibular edentoulism by placing four interforaminal implants. In 5 patients, immediate restoration on prefabricated conical crowns was delivered by the use of preexisting dentures that were replaced by a new, metal reinforced denture 3 months later. In 3 patients implants have been loaded 3 months after implantation, after a period of submerged healing. Both groups were similar regarding bone quality, implant length and width, age of the patient, but immediately placement of implants was more common in immediate loading group. The implant success and survival rate was the same in both groups (100%). No postoperative discomfort was reported by patients with immediate loading and bone resorption rate did not differ between the groups. With this retrospective study, we have proved same results with immediate and late loading of implants that supported mandibular dentures on conical crowns. It seems that such a solution splints the implants in the healing period perfectly and it does not interfere with oral hygiene. We believe that such a way of immediate loading can be recommended without limited safety for the patient.

   Title in Croatian:	Centralni hemangiom donje čeljusti: prikaz slučaja
   Type of Article:	case report
   MeSH:	MANDIBLE HEMANGIOMA VASCULAR DISEASES
   Abstract:	The authors present a case of central hemangioma of the mandible which was diagnosed radiographically and histopathologically. The surgical procedure was complicated by subsequent bleeding which was stopped by an additional surgical procedure. As central hemangioma of the jaws is a relatively rare findings, which can be observed from the relevant literature, and possible complications can be extremely dramatic, the aim of the presentation is to emphasise the clinical, radiographic and histopathological characteristics of this formation. Comparison with another case, which radiographically resembled a polycystic tumour of the jaw and which bled profusely during the operation, causing the postponement of the operation and indicating the need for additional angiographic and radiotherapy, demonstrated that there are no characteristic clinical and radiographic appearances which can indicate the possibility of such changes. The diversity of the radiographic appearances presented in the world literature shows that apart from other pathological changes any transparency in the jaws may also be a central hemangioma. The presented cases confirm this judgement.

   Abstract:	The diagnosis of metastatic lesion to the jaws is difficult, challenging and is based mainly on histopathology. Distant metastasis of basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) to the mandible from salivary gland tumor is considered rare. A case of mandibular metastasis from parotid BCAC is reported. The use of cytogenetics in the diagnostic work-up is described. Cytogenetic analysis may be used as an additional tool for diagnosis of metastases and is recommended when a metastatic jaw lesion is suspected.
