Angled implant brush for hygienic maintenance of full-arch fixed-implant rehabilitations: a pilot study

Double Full-Arch Versus Single Full-Arch, Four Implant-Supported Rehabilitations: A Retrospective, 5-Year Cohort Study.

PURPOSE To report the 5-year outcome of the All-on-4 treatment concept comparing double full-arch (G1) and single-arch (G2) groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 110 patients (68 women and 42 men, average age of 55.5 years) with 440 NobelSpeedy groovy implants. One hundred sixty-five full-arch, fixed, immediately loaded prostheses in both jaws were followed fo...

Biomechanical Analysis of Full-arch Implant- Supported Rehabilitations with Different Designs

The aim of this research was to perfom a biomechanical analysis of different designs of a fullarch screw-retained implant-support rehabilitation, mainly in two components of the prosthetic structure: abutments and prosthetic screws. 3D simplified models of a mandibular arch with seven variations of an implant-supported rehabilitations were developed, modifying the implant’s number (4 or 6) and ...

Prosthodontic Procedures for an Implant-Supported Maxillary Full-Arch Fixed Prosthesis Opposing Mandibular Implant- Supported Fixed Prostheses

The maxillary full-arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis represents a challenge due to the structural limitations of the existing premaxillary ridge and maxillary sinus. Prior to initiating implant treatment, it is critical to consider the necessary clinical and laboratory procedures needed to obtain an optimal level of patient and clinician satisfaction. Consideration must be given to establ...

Implant-supported full-arch zirconia-based mandibular fixed dental prostheses. Eight-year results from a clinical pilot study.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the long-term clinical performance of implant-supported full-arch zirconia-based fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients received full-arch zirconia-based (Cercon) mandibular FDPs supported by four implants (Astra Tech). Nine patients received 10-unit FDPs and one patient received a 9-unit FDP. The FDPs were ...
