Narrow-Diameter Implant versus Lateral Bone Augmentation: What are the Evidences?
نویسنده
چکیده
For optimizing functional and esthetic implant therapy results, sufficient bone amount is required at the reception site. A reduced buccolingual ridge dimension may not allow the placement of a standard-diameter implant without the risk of implant thread exposure. In such situations, lateral bone augmentation procedures can be performed that would allow a restorative-driven placement of standard-diameter implants. Conversely, the use of narrow-diameter implants (diameter ≤ 3.5mm) could be another predictable solution to avoid any invasive surgical management. The aim of this review is to analyze the survival rate of narrow-diameter implants as well as the effectiveness of different techniques for lateral bone augmentation in improving implant clinical outcomes.

Implant rehabilitations in the posterior jaw are influenced by many factors such as the condition of the remaining teeth, the force factors related to the patient, the quality of the bone, the maintenance of the hygiene, the limited bone height, the type and extent of edentulism, and the nature of the opposing arch. The gold standard is to place a regular diameter implant (>3.7 mm) or a wide on...

BACKGROUND Can multiple splinted narrow-diameter implants be used as definitive implants in patients with insufficient bone ridge thickness in posterior regions of the mandible? With this aim, we evaluated their outcomes in this set up to 1 year after loading. METHODS Forty-two patients with a mean age of 61.3 years old (range 49-73) in need of fixed prosthetic implant-supported rehabilitatio...

Introduction: The survival of an implant system is affected by the choice of antirotational design, which can include an external or internal hex. Implant success also is affected by the maintenance of the crestal bone around implants. The aim of present study was to evaluate the crestal bone loss and clinical parameters related to bone loss in patients loaded with an external or internal hex 3...
متن کاملCapsular Weakness around Breast Implant: A Non-Recognized Complication
Capsular contraction is a frequent complication following breast augmentation. On the other hand, capsular weakness, a not widely recognized complication, may occur around the implant. A weak capsule allows the migration of the prosthesis to the lateral region of the thoracic region or inferiorly, towards the abdomen, due to gravitational forces. The cause of capsular weakness remains unresolve...
