   Abstract:	Ako manjka više zuba, jednostrano ili obostrano, već se godinama kao jedino rješenje protetske terapije nameće izrada djelomične proteze. Uspješnom primjenom dentalnih implantata u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća, takvi se slučajevi mogu riješiti na obostrano zadovoljstvo pacijenata i terapeuta. Planiranom protetskom terapijom specijalist stomatološke protetike u suradnji sa specijalistom oralne kirurgije, odabrao je mjesta implantacije dvaju dentalnih implantata Osseospeed (AstraTech, Švedska) 3.5 S i 4.0 S. Nakon tri mjeseca počela je protetska terapija. Kao materijal za izradu krunica odabran je cirkonov oksid, što je cijeloj oralnoj rehabilitaciji dalo dodatni poticaj. Uporabom dentalnih usadaka izbjegnuta je djelomična proteza kao jedino sredstvo kojim bi se nadoknadili izgubljeni zubi. Dob pacijenta od 66 godina dokazala je mogućnost uporabe dentalnih implantata i u zrelijoj životnoj dobi, što potvrđuje uspješnost njihove primjene neovisno o godinama. Implanto-protetskom terapijom dokazano je da pacijenti u zrelijoj životnoj dobi ne moraju nužno biti osuđeni na djelomičnu ili potpunu protezu, kao jedino sredstvo protetske terapije.

   MeSH:	DENTAL IMPLANTATION, ENDOSSEOUS ALVEOLAR BONE LOSS DENTAL PROSTHESIS RETENTION
   Abstract:	Due to advanced atrophy of the mandibular alveolar crest, and after a number of lower complete dentures, a patient, aged 61 years, referred to our department. She accepted the proposed plan of placing two implants in the mandible in order to compensate for the atrophy and the inability to wear a complete denture. Two Osseospeed implants (4.0 S – AstraTech, Sweden) were placed and 3 months after placement the prosthetic treatment was performed. As retention we chose ball attachments (Ball abutment – AstraTech). The plan was to fabricate a complete lower denture retained on ball abutments and an upper complete denture that will be retained by suction, since there was no need for implant placement in the maxilla. The success of prosthetic therapy once again showed that use of dental implants is unavoidable, especially in situations where they are needed for retention of lower, ill-fitting, complete dentures.

   MeSH:	FACIAL INJURIES
   Abstract:	Head and neck injuries caused by accidents associated with rural life are not frequent (4% according to Zachariades on a survey of more than 6000 patients). One of the most frequent among those accidents are agricultural vehicle accidents, especially open vehicles. These vehicles do not develop high speed and helmets are seldom required. Therefore in cases of falling out of a vehicle or turning of the vehicle very extensive facial injury occurs which is quite different from other road traffic accident injuries.A report of the treatment and outcome of a case tretaed at the Clinic for Maxillofacial surgery and Department of Prosthodontics, University Hospital Dubrava is presented.A 32 year-old man survived accident in with the tractor oveerturned During the accident the right side of his midface was smashed. Clinical examination and x-rays revealed a defect of the right cheek including the complete zygomatic bone with the floor of the orbit and lateral upper part of the maxilla including molar teeth with adjacent bone and soft tissue. The skin of the cheek was missing and buccal lining was severely reduced. After initial examination and stabilization, immediate surgery was performed. The patient was satisfied with the appearance, after several major reconstructive procedures (three distant flaps and two local flaps) and oral rehabilitation started.The nature of the injury and the position of the left teeth started the procedure of the oral rehabilitation.The choice was a metal alloy upper partial denture with telescopic crown, and fixed frontal down bridge with attachment and lower partial denture from metal alloy.

   MeSH:	CLEFT PALATE + therapy
   Abstract:	Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is one of the most common physical abnormalities present at birth. The causes of cleft lip and palate remain unclear. Some evidence indicates genetic factors may be involved. Cleft lip and cleft palate usually occur together, and affect about one in 700 cases. Cleft lip occurs on its own in about one in 1000 cases, and cleft palate occurs on its own in about one in 2000 cases. Also, these abnormalities are more common in the children of older couples. Surgical treatment of cleft palate is performed at six to eighteen months of age. Adults with clefts often have poorly shaped or missing teeth.Missing teeth can be restored or replaced with dental bridges or dental implants. Greater loss of teeth requires a solution such as partial metal alloy dentures.Neglected cleft palate in babies is very rare because of the level of health care, but non-treated or mistreated adults can be found. Success of the therapy in new born babies is the result of close cooperation between the maxillofacial surgeon, paediatric dentist and orthodontist.In adults treatment often requires prosthodontics and/or an orthodontist.This group of patients have difficulty with chewing and speech as well as esthetic.
