Background This study investigated the preferences of dentists in Australia providing professional implant maintenance and implant-specific oral hygiene instructions (OHI). Methods General were surveyed online about their peri-implant diagnostics, provision, armamentarium used, OHI techniques frequency. Results Most 303 respondents (96%) provided services; 87.6% reviewed implants regularly whil...

pre-implant disease is an inflammatory process that affects the surrounding tissues of a functional osseointegrated implant. it is usually the result of a disequilibrium between the micro-flora and the defense system. this case reports a 57-year-old man with unusual bone loss around dental implants. this was an unusual case of peri-implantitis that occurred only in the implants on one side of t...

UNLABELLED For the successful single-tooth implant therapy in the esthetics zone, achieving an ideal peri-implant soft tissue profile is paramount. It can achieve by the manipulation of the provisional restorations. This clinical report demonstrate the selective pressure method and concave transmucosal profile of the provisional restorations to achieve the ideal and stable gingival profile in e...

We reviewed 142 consecutive primary total hip replacements implanted into 123 patients between 1988 and 1993 using the Exeter Universal femoral stem. A total of 74 patients (88 hips) had survived for ten years or more and were reviewed at a mean of 12.7 years (10 to 17). There was no loss to follow-up. The rate of revision of the femoral component for aseptic loosening and osteolysis was 1.1% (...

PURPOSE The present study evaluated implant and peri-implant outcomes as well as prosthodontic maintenance efforts for implant/bar-supported mandibular prostheses with different prosthesis anchorage systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-six patients who received two or four interforaminal implants were assigned to one of three different bar designs and subsequently to different prosthesis su...

This manuscript summarizes the statements and clinical recommendations in periapical implant lesions, as per the state of the art and expert opinion agreement among the participants in the 9th Mozo-Grau Conference 2016 held in Quintanilla (Valladolid, Spain). The current status of the concept, frequency, etiology, diagnosis, clinical classification, surgical procedure and prognosis are describe...

PURPOSE A 3-dimensional finite element model consisting of a bone block and 2 simulated premolar crowns supported by 2 adjacent cylindric implants without immediately surrounding cortical bone was generated and used to investigate the effects of prosthesis materials and prosthesis splinting on the peri-implant bone stress under static loads. MATERIALS AND METHODS The peri-implant maximum equi...

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to report four year implant survival rate for immediate placement using socket shield technique. Objectives included evaluation esthetic outcomes and any complications associated with this Material methods: This is a prospective cohort 10 consecutive patients Implant between maxillary first premolars Data were collected (PPD, BOP, PES, buccal width keratini...
