How to Build and/or Maintain a 500-1000 Implant (per year) Referral Practice The marketing dynamics within the dental implant industry are changing with regard to Oral Surgeons and Periodontists growing or even maintaining their implant referral practices. General Practice dentists, who have traditionally worked in the Team Approach to provide the optimal treatment for their patients, are reali...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com model typically requires the surgical facility to manage implant inventory and own the surgical instrumentation associated with the orthopedic implant. There also exists a hybrid model that utilizes stable generic implants with a sales rep that consigns instrumentation and manages his inventory. The purpose of this study was to compare surgical supp...

Dental implant surgery has become routine treatment in dentistry and is generally considered to be a safe surgical procedure with a high success rate. However, complications should be taken into consideration because they can follow dental implant surgery as with any other surgical procedure. Many of the complications can be resolved without severe problems; however, in some cases, they can cau...

This report presents the clinical results of peri-implant plastic surgical approaches for hard and soft tissues before and during the implant placement in a patient with vertical ridge deformation and a shallow vestibule sulcus, and the subsequently performed prosthetic rehabilitation. The surgical approaches used in this case reduced the crown-height space and crown-to-implant ratio and ensure...

The applications of various technological advances in implant dentistry and in all aspects of the diagnostic, treatment planning, surgical, and restorative phases are gaining popularity. Additive rapid prototyping and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology are used to generate stereolithographic surgical guides and prefabricated interim prostheses to facilitate ...

Historically, predoctoral dental education programs have focused on the restoration of implants in the clinical environment; however, given the increase in dental implant therapy being performed by general dentists, the need to incorporate surgical implant training is becoming evident. This article describes a predoctoral surgical implant selective at the University of Texas Health Science Cent...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of computer-designed surgical guides in osseointegrated oral implant rehabilitation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six implant rehabilitations, with a total of 17 implants, were completed with computer-designed surgical guides, performed with the master model developed by muco-compressive and muco-static impressions. In the first case, the surgical g...

Technical and scientific advances in diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the biomedical field have substantially increased the predictability and longevity of the outcomes of restorative surgical procedures. In contemporary oral implantology, bioprototyping techniques based on computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology have proven to be valuable aids in diagno...

INTRODUCTION Despite the high success rates of endosseous oral implants, restrictions have been advocated to their placement with regard to the bone available in height and volume. The use of short or nonstandard-diameter implants could be one way to overcome this limitation. MATERIAL AND METHODS In order to explore the relationship between implant survival rates and their length and diameter...
