background and aim:  although there have been substantial developments in dental implant therapies, achieving good implant stability (isq >60) for implants inserted in augmented sinus sites appears to be challenging in comparison with non-augmented sites due to the high prevalence of bone resorption in posterior regions of maxilla. this study aimed to evaluate and compare the time required to a...

objectives: phonemic awareness skills have a significant impact on children speech and language. the purpose of this study was investigating the phonemic awareness skills of children with cochlear implant and normal hearing peers in primary school. methods: phonemic awareness subscales of phonological awareness test were administered to 30 children with cochlear implantation at the first to six...

Implant supported dental prostheses are increasingly used in practice. The aim of this narrative review is to present the influence transmucosal surface prosthetic abutment and implant on peri-implant tissue. article describes causes bone loss around implant. Moreover, properties different materials compared discussed. advantages, disadvantages, biomechanical concept implant-abutment connection...

Background and Aim: The mismatch of the implant-abutment connection can produce instant stress and microleakage which result in mechanical and biological complications. This study aimed to investigate the influence of GapSeal® as a sealing material on the extent of microgap and microleakage at the external hexagon implant platform following cyclic loading. Materials and Methods: Sixteen implan...

introduction: implant bed preparation with laser is taken into consideration owing to the increased interest in use of lasers in hard tissue surgery. the purpose of this study is to determine the deviations in the position and inclination between the planned and prepared implant beds with erbium, chromium doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet (er,cr: ysgg) laser using stereolithographic (sla) s...

background: receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa b ligand (rankl) is one of the key cytokines in the induction of osteoclastogenesis both in vitro and in vivo.several reports indicated the presence of srankl in gingival crevicular fluid of patients with periodontal diseases. objective: to determine the presence of rankl in peri-implant crevicular fluid samples of implants with peri-implan...

Cochlear implantation has become an increasingly common procedure in the rehabilitation of selected cases of profound deafness.' Patients should have profound total bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Sound is transformed into small electric currents which stimulate the auditory nerves in the cochlea and generate the hearing sensation. The nucleus cochlear implant is the result of more t...
