With the evolution of CAD/CAM technology, custom titanium and/or zirconia abutments are increasingly being used, leading to several comparisons in literature, both mechanical and aesthetic, evaluate performance differences between these two types abutments. Therefore, aim this comprehensive review is present most recent data on latest stock abutment applications. The PICO model was used perform...

Three abutments were connected to the implants and an electroformed bridge was constructed to fit them. Four groups of impressions were made for the implants using abutments as an impression transfers and the ordinary transfers; both were tightened manually and by 30 N/Cm torque. Impressions were poured into stone using new implant analogues. Another two groups of impressions were made using ab...

PURPOSE Restoration of the atrophic partially edentulous posterior mandible with implant retained prostheses has proved to be problematic, with no ideal treatment modality. The purpose of this report is to offer a novel method of treatment using tilted endosseous implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 64 patients with edentulous spans of the mandible and less than 9.5 mm of alveolar bone ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of dental practitioners incorporating attachments into overdenture prostheses, via the direct method, before and after an instructive course. Forty randomized gypsum models, with implants either angulated or parallel to each other, were given to forty dentists before and after an instructive course. A rubber dam or temporary light-cur...

BACKGROUND: The inconsistency of the congruence surface implantabutment interface leads to impaired communication implant shaft with oral cavity, breakdown structure, including implant, and changes in occlusal relationships because axial displacement.
 AIM: This study aimed investigate degree displacement abutments made relative implants analogs. Specific tasks were as follows: (1) make va...

This article describes the intraoral preparation of healing abutments for use as prefabricated abutments for a cement-retained, implant-supported prosthesis. After the healing abutments are prepared, an impression is made with irreversible hydrocolloid, and the provisional restoration is fabricated indirectly. This technique is an easy and economical alternative for the fabrication of provision...

PURPOSE The aim of this clinical research on implant-supported restorations is to analyze, through spectrophotometric digital technology, the influence of the abutment material on the color of the peri-implant soft tissue. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty patients received an endosseous dental implant in the anterior maxilla. At the time of each definitive prosthesis delivery, an all-ceramic crown...

Implant dentistry has been a breakthrough invention for the rehabilitation of partially and completely edentulous patients few decades, but an advancing complication associated with implant procedures is accidental ingestion or aspiration dental components (implants, cover screws, abutments, instruments etc.) A radiographic evaluation essential to confirm presence foreign body. Generally, that ...
