The gray values accuracy of dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is affected by dental metal prostheses. The distortion of dental CBCT gray values could lead to inaccuracies of orthodontic and implant treatment. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of scanning parameters and dental metal prostheses on the accuracy of dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) gray values usi...

Six kinds of dental implants: Apaceram, Bioceram, Free design blade implant, Shape memory blade implant, Hydroxyapatite-coating blade implant and Vitallium were immersed in three kinds of solutions: Ringer's solution, 1.0% lactate acid solution, and 0.05% HCl solution, for seven days at 37•Ž. Using an inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscope, the solutions were analyzed. The element sol...

BACKGROUND A fundamental pre-requisite for the clinical success in dental implant surgery is the fast and stable implant osseointegration. The press-fit phenomenon occurring at implant insertion induces biomechanical effects in the bone tissues, which ensure implant primary stability. In the field of dental surgery, the understanding of the key factors governing the osseointegration process sti...

The purposes of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of peri-implant diseases; mucositis and periimplantitis of patients received dental implant at Riyadh city, KSA. In addition to the assessment of the relationship between peri-implant diseases and other related risk factors such as plaque accumulation, smoking, diabetes, and overall periodontal condition. A cross-sectional study was carri...

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...

Implant treatment has become the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth in partially edentulous areas. Dental implants present different biological and biomechanical characteristics than natural teeth. Occlusion is considered to be one of the most important factors contributing to implant success. Most literature on implant occlusal concepts is based on expert opinion, anecdotal experienc...

implant-supported craniofacial prostheses are made to restore defective areas in the face and cranium. this clinical report describes a technique for fabrication of an orbital prosthesis with three adjacent implants in the left lateral orbital rim of a 60-year-old woman. selection of appropriate attachment system (individual magnetic abutments versus bar-clip attachment) for implant-supported o...

dental implants have provided exceptional rehabilitative options for edentulous and partially edentulous patients. however, as more implants come into play, the more the clinicians come across problems where specific considerations must be taken into account to meet expectations. the toronto bridge is a treatment modality proposed for restoring several teeth lost in patients with increased crow...

The long term success of dental implant treatment relies on the proper stability of the implant within the host bone. This condition is achieved through osseointegration, which is characterized as a direct functional and structural connection between ingrown bone tissue and implant surface (Brånemark et al., 1977; Simmons et al., 2001). Osseointegration begins with rapid growth of random and un...
