Since its introduction in northern Europe in the 1960s, dental implant has been used all over the world as an option to restore teeth and periodontal tissues. In the early stage, dental implant prosthesis was used restrictively to replace removable prosthesis; currently, however, it is also used for stationary prosthesis. This treatment utilizes various methods including osseointegration after ...

the biological interaction between the jaw bones and dental implant is fundamental for the long-term success of dental implant placement. nevertheless, the insufficient bone volume remains a major clinical problem, especially in case of immediate dental implant. using a canine model, the present study proves the regenerative potential of adipose- derived stem cells (adscs) to repair peri-implan...

background. improving the implantation conditions in order to reduce the failure is always desirable for researchers. the aim of this study was to compare two different types of dental implant materials from biomechnical viewpoint in order to introduce a novel simulation method to select suitable materials for dental implants. methods. in this research, drilling process was performed in the cor...

This clinical case describes the effect of the osteotome technique on the osseointegration of a mandibular dental implant in a 42-year-old female patient with dento-alveolar bony defects and to review the literature regarding immediate implant placement using osteotome technique. The amount of bone expansion at the alveolar ridge and the marginal bone resorption from the time of implant placeme...

Objectives. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare crestal bone loss of single-maxillary immediate postextractive implants and immediate nonfunctional loading (INFL) during 72 months of follow-up. Material and Methods. Two single titanium implants (Certain Prevail, Biomet 3I, USA) were placed in two patients using INFL technique. Implant stability and crestal bone level were measured ...

Thin ridges often pose hindrance in oral implant placement. Inadequate width of ridge requires Innovative techniques in placing implants. One of such techniques is ridge splitting technique, Which helps expansion of the ridge with or without fracture of cortical plates. This technique has the advantage of immediate implant loading, in comparison with other ridge widening techniques. This articl...

BACKGROUND There is an increasing number of scientific evidence supporting the clinical use of short dental implants. However, few studies have evaluated the long-term outcomes of immediate loading protocols in short implants. This study aims to evaluate immediate loading of short dental implants in the posterior regions of the maxillae. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients having short implants in...

PURPOSE The primary goal of this stratified randomized controlled trial (SRCT) was to compare the stability of dental implants placed under three different loading regimens during the first 16 weeks of healing following implant placement. Implants were loaded immediately, early (6 weeks), or with conventional/delayed timing (12 weeks). Secondary outcomes were to compare marginal bone adaptation...
