Prostodoncia Total De Winkler: The Ultimate Resource for Removable Prosthodontics



En el campo de las especialidades odontólogas constantemente surgen nuevos conceptos y técnicas, por lo que el estudiante y profesional requieren contar con libros que les permitan estar al día en la materia. Este libro cumple con este propósito. El contenido de la obra abarca todos los aspectos esenciales de la prostodoncia, desde la anatomía y fisiología de la cavidad oral, hasta la protética más avanzada. Incluye, entre los más importantes, temas sobre el uso de dentaduras inmediatas, sobredentaduras, uso de articuladores y arcos faciales, así como un capítulo dedicado al paciente geriátrico.


A cohort of 390 patients with revision surgery of total hip prostheses (200) or total knee prostheses (190) was assessed for late PJI by determining CRP serum level and performing preoperative aspiration with cultivation and intraoperative tissue analyses with cultivation and histologic examination, using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) and International Consensus Meeting (ICM) criteria.

A total of 180 joints were rated as PJI (prevalence 46%). Of these, 42.8% (77) showed a CRP level below 10 mg/L and 28.3% (51) showed a normal CRP level of less than 5 mg/L. The 76.9% of the cases with slow-growing bacteria showed a CRP level below 10 mg/L, and 61.5% showed a normal CRP level.


Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of arthroplasty procedures and has many consequences. The level of incidence for total hip and knee arthroplasties ranges between 1% and 2%, on average [1]. However, in some reports, this type of infection is claimed to be the most frequent cause of implant failure during the first 5 years following implantation [2, 3]. Thus the accuracy of the preoperative diagnosis of possible periprosthetic joint infection becomes important, especially in cases of loosened or painful endoprostheses [4,5,6].
