Menu First page First page Principles of ZX-27 Attractive Glass Abutment System the most important is to have a firm and pronounced alveolar ridge at the place of future ZX-27 glass abutments, unwritten rule: the more proper pillar teeth are ground meszially, the more missing teeth may be replaced distally (i.e. when replacing 5 and 6, it is ideal to grind 3 and 4; 5 will make the pontic and 6 will be the glass abutment), glass abutment is always the most distal part of the bridge with shortened dental arch (Kennedy 1, Kennedy 2), there must be at least one 1st class pillar among the prepared own teeth; the more 1st class ground pillars, the better the result, glass abutment must have his antagonist to renew occlusal relations and denture function
Menu First page First page Attractive Glass Abutment System: Contraindications: unstable flabby alveolar ridge (5-8 mm side movements), insufficient alveolus height and widths with extensive bone resorption, very narrow alveolus forming a narrow ridge created partially by submucous tissue, insufficiently healed alveolus after extractions,

Menu First page First page Cytological smears from the mouth- wash fluid mainly contained superficial, mature cells. In 17 sears of 3 patients with glass abutment amongst the 67 cytological specimen of 9 patients were found a few keratinized but otherwise typical cell beside the large number of non keratinized epithelial elements. Typical keratinized stratified epithelium was present on the surface of the gum under the glass abutment. Keratinization corresponded to parakeratosis and hyperkeratosis histologicaly. There were no mitotic figures amongst the epithelial cells, layers of the epithelium presented typical maturation tendency towards the surface P a t o l o g y
