This review covers several basic methodologies of surface treatment and their effects on titanium (Ti) implants. The importance of each treatment and its effects will be discussed in detail in order to compare their effectiveness in promoting osseointegration. Published literature for the last 18 years was selected with the use of keywords like titanium dental implant, surface roughness, coatin...

Management of lateral incisor agenesis is a real challenge and needs strong collaboration between surgical, aesthetic, orthodontic dentistry. This case report managed upper with an treatment leading to open spaces placement cuspids in area avoid implant maxillary anterior region. Temporary rehabilitation phase, using resin injected tray removable partial denture, has been placed maintain mesiod...

Here, we present a bone implant system of phase-oriented titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) fabricated by the micro-arc oxidation method (MAO) on ?-Ti to facilitate improved osseointegration. This (101) rutile-phase-dominant MAO TiO (R-TiO is biocompatible due its high surface roughness, bone-mimetic structure, and preferential crystalline orientation. Furthermore, R-TiO possesses active abundant hydrox...

AIM The purpose of this single case study was to evaluate the influence of different implant surfaces on human bone and osseointegration. METHODS AND MATERIALS A 47-year-old partially edentulous woman received two experimental implants along with conventional implant therapy. Experimental implants placed in the mandibular ramus consisted of machined and anodized surfaces, respectively. After ...

Titanium implants can fail due to inappropriate biomechanics at the bone-implant interface that leads to suboptimal osseointegration. Titania nanotubes (TNTs) fabricated on Ti implants by the electrochemical process have emerged as a promising modification strategy to facilitate osseointegration. TNTs enable augmentation of bone cell functions at the bone-implant interface and can be tailored t...

This paper traces the history of oral implants, beginning with their early undocumented use in the mid-1960s. Although early experimentation with the Brånemark system of osseointegration was unsuccessful, significant improvements and scrupulous documentation of the 1970s led to their general acceptance. George Zarb spearheaded their introduction into North America and application of the osseoin...

OBJECTIVE To compare the use of uncemented implants in total hip arthroplasty in patients with rheumathologic diseases and mechanical osteoarthrosis. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 196 patients who were operated by the Hip and Arthroplasty Surgery Group of the IOT-HCFMUSP between 2005 and 2009. Patients were divided into two groups: mechanical causes (165 patients) and rheumathologic ca...

The biomechanical response of cortical and trabecular bone tissues represents a fundamental aspect for the interpretation functional dental implants. In case misfit, interaction phenomena occurring within surgical subsequent healing phases must be interpreted primarily in light tissue. This is influenced by specific loadings induced, characterized intensity variable trends. pilot study reported...
