PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the medium- to long-term clinical outcome of single-tooth implants placed into fresh extraction sockets using a low-insertion-torque protocol and immediately restored with acrylic resin provisional crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one patients consecutively referred for the replacement of one or more failing teeth were planned...

Introduction: The marginal bone change of 1 year loading was evaluated in the non-microthread collar and platform switching structured INNO® dental implant of which the surface is treated with the RBM sandblasting, hyper-thermal acid etching and alkali solution cleaning process for hydrophilic macroand micro-porosity. Material and Methods: A total of 144 implants were placed in the healed ridge...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical response and safety of immediately loaded single-tooth implants placed in the posterior region of the maxilla and mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS Single-tooth implants were placed in healed extraction sites in 20 adult patients. Temporary pre-fabricated acrylic resin crowns were prepared and adjusted. The crown occlusion was adjusted ...

background: jaw bone quality plays an essential role in treatment planning and prognosis of dental implants. regarding several available methods for bone density measurements, they are not routinely used before implant surgery due to hard accessibility. objective: an in vitro investigation of correlation between average gray scale in direct digital radiographs and hounsfield units in ct-scan pr...

This study evaluated the clinical outcomes of immediately loaded maxillary anterior single implants placed in fresh extraction sockets. A patient cohort that was treated 1.5 years earlier was recalled, and 18 patients (6 men, 12 women) with 21 implants were included. Clinical photographs and periapical radiographs were taken at follow-up and baseline to determine the bone loss and change in est...

OBJECTIVE Long-term success of dental implants depends on healthy peri-implant soft tissues and adequate bone levels. This prospective study aims to assess bone level changes around implants with internal conical connection and platform-switching abutments in the posterior mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS Adult patients missing at least two teeth in the posterior mandible and with a natural too...

This paper describes the 5-year results of a comparative study between Astra Tech and Brånemark system implants. The aim was to compare the systems primarily with regard to bone level changes, and also with regard to other variables of interest. Sixty-six patients with edentulous jaws were included in the study. Randomisation schedules were used to allocate the patients to the two implant syste...

SELECTION CRITERIA The authors used MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) databases to locate studies for this systematic review (SR). For studies to be eligible for this SR, all had to evaluate single-implant restorations with a follow-up of at least 1 year after implant loading. A total of 19 prospective studies met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Fif...

In a previous experiment, it was demonstrated that a wide marginal defect around an implant can heal with a high degree of osseointegration. The present experiment was performed to evaluate the degree and quality of de novo bone formation and osseointegration in marginal defects adjacent to submerged titanium implants. All mandibular premolars and 1st molars were extracted in four Labrador dogs...
