Biological Reactions to Dental Implants

Soft tissue integration to dental implants

Soft tissue integration to dental implants Maria Welander Department of Periodontology, Institute of Odontology The Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg, Box 450, 405 30 Göteborg, Sweden. Soft tissue integration is a prerequisite for implant success. The role of the soft tissue barrier at implants is to provide an effective seal that protects the underlying bone and prevents access f...

Bone tissue reactions to biomimetic ion-substituted apatite surfaces on titanium implants.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone tissue response to strontium- and silicon-substituted apatite (Sr-HA and Si-HA) modified titanium (Ti) implants. Sr-HA, Si-HA and HA were grown on thermally oxidized Ti implants by a biomimetic process. Oxidized implants were used as controls. Surface properties, i.e. chemical composition, surface thickness, morphology/pore characteristics, crystal...

Clinical evaluation of laser microtexturing for soft tissue and bone attachment to dental implants.

INTRODUCTION A tapered dental implant (Laser-Lok [LL] surface treatment) with a 2 mm wide collar, that has been laser micromachined in the lower 1.5 mm to preferentially accomplish bone and connective tissue attachment while inhibiting epithelial downgrowth, was evaluated in a prospective, controlled, multicenter clinical trial. MATERIALS Data are reported at measurement periods from 1 to 37 ...

Bone Quality Assessment for Dental Implants

Dental implants have become a predictable treatment option for restoring missing teeth. The purpose of tooth replacement with implants is to restore adequate function and esthetics without affecting adjacent hard and/or soft tissue structures. The use of dental implants in oral rehabilitation has currently been increasing since clinical studies with dental implant treatment have revealed succes...

Immediate Dental Implants and Bone Graft

Dental implants were initiated in 1922 by Branemark, who and associates described the relationship between titanium implant and bone which termed osteointegration, defined as the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of an implant (Albrektsson et al., 1981). Immediate implant placement, defined as the placement of dental implant immediately into fresh e...
