NTRODUCTION With the advancement in the frequency of use of dental implants for rehabilitation, there has been simultaneous increase in the capability of the clinicians in relation to the effective restoration of the dentition of the patients. From time to time, various dental implant systems have been introduced from time to time for increasing the prognosis and outcome of dental implant proce...

The original protocol for the placement of endosseous dental implants required a fully submerged positioning beneath the oral soft tissues. This method necessitated a second surgical procedure to facilitate abutment connection and subsequent restoration (Branemark, 1985). It has been observed that the second surgical procedure could reduce or eliminate the amount of keratinized mucosa in the pe...

BACKGROUND Osseointegrated endosseous implants are widely used for the rehabilitation of completely and partially edentulous patients, being the final prosthodontic treatment more predictable and the failures extremely infrequent. A case of fracture of an endosseous dental implant, replacing the maxillary first molar, occurring in a middle-age woman, 5 years after placement is reported. MATER...

Objectives: Prosthodontic rehabilitation using dental implants has become a common practice in dentistry at the present time. Although severe complications related to dental osseointegrated implants are uncommon, in recent years several cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma adjacent to dental implants have been published. Study Design: A 67-year-old edentulous woman developed an oral squamous c...

During a 12-year period (1984-1996), 118 maxillary inlay autogenous bone grafts and 248 commercially pure titanium threaded root-form endosseous implants were placed in 54 consecutively treated patients with compromised maxillary bone. In this retrospective clinical study, 3 groups of patients were reviewed, group selection being based on anatomic location and surgical access to the recipient s...

ceramic dental materials have been considered as alternatives to metals for dental implants application. in this respect, zirconia tetragonal stabilized with %3 yttrium, is of great importance among the ceramic materials for endosseous dental implant application. because of its good mechanical properties and color similar to tooth. the aim and novelty of this study was to design and prepare y-t...

In the last 4 decades, the developments of osseointegrated titanium implants have led to the success of contemporary dentistry. Endosseous implant-supported restorations delivered in accordance with the traditional Branemark protocol have proven to be highly predictable. Today, implants are becoming increasingly common in dental care and provide more therapeutic options, but treatment planning ...

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether systemic diseases with/without systemic medication increase the risk of implant failure and therefore diminish success and survival rates of dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A MEDLINE search was undertaken to find human studies reporting implant survival in subjects treated with osseointegrated dental implants who were diagnosed with at least one of 12 system...

Proposing to place endosseous implants is an integral facet of dental treatment plans. Their insertion is usually associated with a low incidence of untoward events. However, despite careful planning, surgical complications can arise: infection, intraoral hemorrhage, wound dehiscence, postoperative pain, lack of primary implant stability, inadvertent penetration into the maxillary sinus or nasa...

Implant fracture is one of the important biomechanical complications which can present with a considerable problem to the patient as well as the dental surgeon. The aim of this case report is to describe the management of a case of fractured endosseous dental implant in premolar region and microscopic evaluation of the fractured implant segment using scanning electron microscopy. In most of suc...
