Immediate prosthesis over implants retained using abutments with flexible screws: A preliminary study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Immediate loading protocols for the rehabilitation of edentulous or partially edentulous patients have become very popular, due to the conveniences they afford in comparison with conventional loading techniques. Material and Methods A preliminary study was carried out with 8 patients subjected to dental implant treatment with an immediate loading protocol involving a novel system of abutments with flexible screws. Implant survival was analyzed, together with marginal bone loss and patient and dentist satisfaction. Results A total of 35 implants were subjected to immediate loading using the abutments with flexible screws. The mean patient and dentist satisfaction score was 9.1 and 8.5, respectively. After 12 months the dental implant survival rate was 95.8%, with a mean marginal bone loss of 0.51 ± 0.12 mm. Conclusions The novel system of abutments with flexible screws offers a good alternative to conventional immediate loading, since it allows rapid and simple manufacture of a reliable passive fit, fixed interim prosthesis after surgery. Key words:Dental implants, Flexafit®, Immediate loading, Immediate prosthesis.

Cement- and screw-retained implant-supported prostheses: up to 10 years of follow-up of a new design.
PURPOSE This retrospective study investigated treatment outcomes over 10 years of a new prosthesis design in implant prosthodontics that uses a combined cement- and screw-retained principle. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical data of 78 implant-supported prostheses were examined. Each prosthesis incorporated at least 1 screw-retained element and 1 or more cement-retained telescopic units. One...
متن کاملFluids and microbial penetration in the internal part of cement-retained versus screw-retained implant-abutment connections.
BACKGROUND It has been recently observed that in implants with screw-retained abutments, in in vitro as well as in vivo conditions, bacteria can penetrate inside the internal cavity of the implant as a consequence of leakage at the implant-abutment interface. An alternative to screw-retained abutments is represented by implants that can receive cemented abutments. In this case, the abutment goe...
متن کاملRehabilitation of a patient with Screw-Retained Metal-Resin Implant-Tissue Supported Fixed Mandibular Complete Denture: A Hybrid Prosthesis (FP – 3): A Case Report
A hybrid denture is one that is fabricated over a metal framework and retained by screws threaded into the implants. The anterior part of a mandibular hybrid denture is fixed on implants while the posterior part of the denture is extended and cantilevered from implants. This article presents the fabrication of a mandibular implant retained hybrid prosthesis. A total of four implants were placed...
متن کاملAn analysis and management of fractured implants: a clinical report.
An analysis of 4,045 implants placed in function during a 5-year period yielded eight fractured implants (0.2%). All fractures had associated marginal bone loss. The majority (six of eight) were supporting posterior prostheses. Parafunctional habits were diagnosed in all patients with fractured implants. Most patients presented with loosening or fracture of prosthetic gold screws or abutment sc...
متن کاملComparison of the Effect of Two Different Abutment Diameters on Detorque Value Using Cyclic Loading and Thermocycling
Background and Aim: Screw loosening is a common problem with both screw-retained and cemented implant restorations. It is assumed that the abutment diameter affects detorque value and screw loosening. We aimed to determine the effect of two different abutment diameters on detorque value using cyclic loading and thermocycling. Materials and Methods: This in-vitro experimental study was conducte...
