PURPOSE This 1-year prospective study evaluated the implant success rate, peri-implant tissue response, and esthetic outcome of immediately placed and provisionalized maxillary anterior single implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five patients (8 men, 27 women) with a mean age of 36.5 years (range 18 to 65) were included in this study. Thirty-five threaded, hydroxyapatite-coated implants we...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of immediate and delayed rehabilitation of edentulous jaws by means of two straight and two tilted implants after one year of function. materials and methods: thirty consecutive patients (16 males, 14 females) were enrolled in this study. two anterior straight and two posterior tilted implants were placed in each patient. accordi...

o bjectives: the aim of the present randomized clinical trial was to evaluate marginal bone loss around two types of implants modified at the neck area: nobel active and nobel replace groovy, both manufactured by nobel biocare. materials and methods: a total of 25 nobel active and 21 nobel replace groovy implants were included in the present study. the implants were placed based on the relevant...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical reliability of narrow implants placed in a one-stage procedure and early loaded in the upper and lower incisor region. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study in which patients with missing natural dentition in upper lateral and lower incisor positions were enrolled. Eligible implants (OsseoSpeed™ TX 3.0S, DENTSPLY Implants)...

BACKGROUND following tooth extraction and immediate implant installation, the edentulous site of the alveolar process undergoes substantial bone modeling and the ridge dimensions are reduced. objective: the objective of the present experiment was to determine whether the process of bone modeling following tooth extraction and immediate implant placement was influenced by the placement of a xeno...

According to the Brånemark protocol, a stress-free healing period is one of the most emphasised requirements for implant integration. Recent studies have encouraged a progressive shortening of the healing period and immediate loading has been proposed for the edentulous mandible. This prospective study evaluated the clinical outcomes of 14 immediately loaded FRIALIT-2(R) implants compared with ...

BACKGROUND There is limited evidence for the outcome of short implants (7 mm) to rehabilitate posterior jaws. PURPOSE To report on the outcome of 7 mm short implants in the rehabilitation of posterior areas of atrophic jaws 1 year after loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 127 patients treated with 217 implants supporting 165 fixed prostheses. Final abutments were ...

In the late 1990s a new imaging modality, Cone Beam CT (CBCT) that enables high quality three-dimensional imaging at lower doses than Computed Tomography (CT), was introduced in dento-maxillofacial imaging. In 2005 the Swedish Council on Health Technology Assessment (SBU), in a review of scientific articles on Malocclusions and Orthodontic Treatment in a Health Perspective, found low or contrad...
