A technique for in vitro fit assessment of multi-unit screw-retained implant restorations: Application of a triple-scan protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in industrial non-contact scanners offer unprecedented opportunities for quality assessment of dental restorations. The majority of investigations published to date are limited to local two-dimensional results. A triple-scan protocol for virtual fit assessment of multi-unit screw-retained implant restorations is presented in this technical report. The advantages for application in biomechanical research include detailed three-dimensional information on internal component congruence in implant superstructures to be used in mathematical models.

Screw Joint Stability in Conventional and Abutment-Free Implant-Supported Fixed Restorations.
PURPOSE Procera Implant Bridges (PIBs) do not engage supporting implant shoulders and are fixed using comparably long retention screws. The aim of this in vitro clinical study was to determine the detorque values in PIBs and conventionally fabricated fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two groups of screw-retained implant-supported three-unit FDPs (n=10) were fabricated by m...

متن کاملCovering the Screw-Access Holes of Implant Restorations in the Esthetic Zone: A Clinical Report
Screw-retained implant restorations have an advantage of predictable retention as well as retrievability, and obviate the risk of excessive sub-gingival cement commonly associated with cement retained implant restorations. Screw-retained restorations generally have screw access holes, which can compromise esthetics and weaken the porcelain around the holes. The purpose of this study is to descr...

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of sealing of the screw access hole (SAH) on the fracture resistance of metal-ceramic implant-supported restorations. UCLA abutments were used to make 30 implant-retained mandibular molar restorations and divide equally into three groups: Group SRS: screw-retained restorations with SAH sealed; Group SRNS: screw-retained restorations with SAH...
