Objective: to present the radiographic clinical follow-up of prosthetic rehabilitation a patient with an atrophic mandible, installation short implants associated implant regular length. Method: case report completely edentulous mandible and 6-year conducted at dental clinic Federal University Piauí, Teresina, from February 2011 January 2020. After collecting sociodemographic data, health recor...

This article presents the application of laser welding technique to fabricate an orthodontic mini-implant provisional restoration in missing area after limited orthodontic treatment. A 15-year-old boy case is presented. Two-piece orthodontic C-implant was placed after regaining space for missing right mandibular central incisor. Due to angular deviation of implant, customized abutment was requi...

Removable osseointegrated titanium mini-implants were successfully used as anchorage devices in orthodontics. The early load is necessary to simplify the mini-implant methodology, but can lead to failure during osseointegration. The Ti-6Al-4V alloy was used instead of commercially pure Ti due to its superior strength. However, the corrosion resistance is low, allowing for metal ion release. The...

Non-augmentative surgical therapy of peri-implantitis is indicated for cases with primarily horizontal bone loss or wide defects limited potential regeneration and/or re-osseointegration. This treatment approach includes a variety different techniques (e.g., open flap debridement, resection peri-implant mucosa, apically positioned flaps, re-contouring, implantoplasty, etc.) and various relevant...

The aim of this article is to explain the use of a computer-aided three-dimensional planning protocol in combination with previously placed mini-implants and computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology to restore a completely edentulous patient. Mini-implants were used to establish a setup for computerized tomographic imaging and a surgical template. The software an...
