This investigation was initiated to develop a method to provide patients with a fixed provisional prosthesis placed at the time of implant placement. Sixty-three standard 3.75-mm Nobel Biocare implants of varying lengths were placed into mandibular sites in 10 patients and followed for up to 10 years. Twenty-eight implants were immediately loaded at implant placement, providing support for fixe...

statement of the problem in recent decades, immediate implant placement has been proposed to eliminate undesirable consequences of conventional methods of delayed placement. in addition, because of the nature of this treatment method, a higher risk of complications such as infection and also higher failures rates may be expected purpose the aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of ...

The relationship between mobility assessment with the Periotest system and histologic findings was evaluated for oral implants. Five screw-type implants of pure titanium were placed in the mandibles of four monkeys. Two implants in each monkey were occlusally overloaded. These implants were brushed once a week. Plaque was allowed to accumulate around unloaded implants with abutments in the same...

PURPOSE To evaluate the human bone tissue response to 2 surfaces (oxidized or turned) on commercially available titanium implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Screw-type turned (control) and oxidized (test) micro-implants were manufactured in the same manner as commercially available turned and oxidized (TiUnite, Brånemark System) implants. The thickness of the oxide layer of the test implants was ...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to systematically evaluate the marginal bone loss (MBL), success, and survival of zirconia (Zi) implants and compare them with the widely studied titanium (Ti) implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic and manual literature search of several databases was performed by two independent reviewers for articles up to July 2015 that reported the use of Z...

This study purposed to evaluate papilla height changes after immediate implant placement and loading in single implants and adjacent implants. A total of 33 implants were placed immediately to the extraction sockets and all the implants were immediately loaded. While 16 of implants were single (SI), 17 of implants were adjacent to another (AI) with 2 different implant brands/types (Astra Tech a...

Limited bone height restricts the use of long dental implants, so short implants may be selected in these situations. Recent reports on clinical results with short implants have been negative, however, and have suggested that indications for the use of these implants are limited. To verify these findings, a multicenter study of short ITI implants was carried out. In a 6-year period 253 short im...

Immediate loading of threaded implants with a fixed provisional restoration at stage 1 surgery was evaluated in 10 consecutive patients. The patients selected had to be completely edentulous and have adequate bone for a minimum of 10-mm-long implants. A minimum of 10 implants were placed in each patient’s arch. A minimum of five implants were submerged initially for medicolegal reasons and allo...

AIM The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to assess the survival and success rates of palatal implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy patients (56 female, 14 male; age 25-6 +/- 10-8 years) receiving Orthosystem (Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) palatal implants from March 1999 to November 2006 were included. The indication was established according to the required anchorage for ort...
