Introduction: After tooth extraction, the alveolar bone remodeled and resorbed. The preservation of ridge resorption following tooth extraction through socket grafting helped to optimize bony fill, thereby maintaining vertical bone height and helped to stabilize the marginal soft tissue at the site. Adequate bone allowed the implant to be placed in the most ideal restorable position in a three ...

Demineralized dentin matrix block (ABTB: Autogenous Tooth Bone Graft Block) is 3-D scaffold with same components and geometry with alveolar bone. ABTB is well incorporated and remodelled into cortico-cancellous bone with dental implant. The shape and volume were maintained with little marginal bone loss after average 44 months of follow-up.

OBJECTIVE The effect on the marginal peri-implant tissues following repeated platform switching abutment removal and subsequent reconnection was studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS Six adult female Beagle dogs were selected, and Pm3 and Pm4 teeth, both left and right sides, were extracted and the sites healed for 3 months. At this time, 24 bone level (BL) (Straumann, Basel, Switzerland) Ø 3.3/8 mm ...

PURPOSE To test whether or not immediate loading of single-implant crowns renders different results from early and conventional loading with respect to implant survival, marginal bone loss, stability of peri-implant soft tissue, esthetics, and patient satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search of Medline and Embase databases including studies published prior to August 1, 2012, w...

BACKGROUND Clinical studies show promising outcomes with implants inserted at the time of extraction. However, this often results in an initial bone defect at the marginal region which preferably should heal for an optimal function. Therefore, monitoring of these implants is vital. PURPOSES The aims of this study were to determine the initial stability of implants placed into fresh extraction...

PURPOSE To correlate soft tissue thickness and peri-implant bone remodeling of platform-switching implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS This comparative prospective trial evaluated, for up to 3 years after implant loading, the influence of soft tissue thickness on changes in peri-implant marginal hard tissue levels. Any patient who was partially edentate in the mandible and required at least two ad...

Many studies described several parameters which are supposed to determine success or failure in longterm evaluations of dental implants. However, the relationship between crestal bone loss around implants and the location of implant-abutment connection in the bone still needs further investigations.The subgingival microgap between the implant and the abutment, which creates higher bone level re...

The aim of this prospective 5-year longitudinal study was to follow endosteal implants in which guided bone regeneration (GBR) was applied during implant placement. In 75 patients, defects around implants (Branemark System) were treated with Bio-Oss and Bio-Gide (112 implants). In split-mouth patients in this group, Bio-Oss and Gore-Tex were used in the second defect site (41 implants). All 75 ...
