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 This study was conducted 1/ to find out the effects of anatomical sites and implant types on the magnification and 2/ to evaluate the inter-observer variability on the evaluation using the digital panoramas taken at daily practices. STUDY DESIGN Panoramic radiographs from 156 patients treated with implants were evaluated by three observers. The length was measured on the lateral as...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) on osseointegration of dental implants with low primary stability in a beagle dog model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Customized titanium implants that were designed to have low contact with the existing bone were installed into the edentulous mandible of beagle dogs. To degrade the primary stability...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the influence of abutment materials on the stability of the implant-abutment joint in internal conical connection type implant systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Internal conical connection type implants, cement-retained abutments, and tungsten carbide-coated abutment screws were used. The abutments were fabricated with commercially pure grade 3 titanium (group T3), c...

AIM This study evaluated, through a systematic review of the literature, the estimated implant survival rate of short (<10 mm) dental implants installed in partially edentulous patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was conducted in the electronic databases of MEDLINE (1980-October 2009) and EMBASE (1980-October 2009) to identify eligible studies. Two reviewers independently asse...

BACKGROUND Initial stability of the implant is, in effect, one of the fundamental criteria for obtaining long-term osseointegration. Achieving implant stability depends on the implant-bone relation, the surgical technique and on the microscopic and macroscopic morphology of the implant used. A newly designed parabolic screw-type dental implant system was tested in vivo for early stages of inter...

THE JOURNAL OF PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY 585 In the past 2 decades, finite element analysis (FEA) has become an increasingly useful tool for the prediction of the effects of stress on the implant and its surrounding bone. Vertical and transverse loads from mastication induce axial forces and bending moments and result in stress gradients in the implant as well as in the bone. A key factor for the su...

Objective: To determine the factors associated with success and failure of orthodontic mini-implant (MI) in patients. Study Design: Retrospective Review. Setting: Department Orthodontic, Sharif Medical Dental College. Period: September-November 2021. Material &amp; Methods: The files records all patients from last 3 years fulfilling selection criteria were reviewed by an consultant two post-gra...

INTRODUCTION Loss of penile size is a common complaint that can negatively affect patient satisfaction rates following successful penile prosthetic implant surgery. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to describe the various strategies that have been used to maintain penile length or girth after the insertion of a penile prosthetic implant. METHODS An extensive systematic literature review ...
