PURPOSE Dental implant has gained clinical success over last decade with the major drawback related to osseointegration as properties of metal (Titanium) are different from human bone. Currently implant procedures include endosseous type of dental implants with nanoscale surface characteristics. The objective of this review article is to summarize the role of nanotopography on titanium dental i...

In a case involving a patient with scleroderma, the authors demonstrate how to treatment plan and sequence the transition from a failing restored dentition to complete implant-supported fixed prostheses with sequential extractions and implant placements. The article also presents surgical and prosthodontic considerations for a complete-mouth implant-supported fixed rehabilitation while achievin...

• Design and simulation by FEM of customized scaffolds fixed to the jaw a dental implant. Distribution stress in crown, implant, scaffold, cortical trabecular bone, strain bone. Influence porosity hole size on The use allows significant reduction stresses peri-implant Teeth loss due periodontal diseases, trauma, or infections often causes dimensional affected maxillary. In patients with reduced...

As endosseous dental implant therapy rapidly becomes the prosthetic standard of care for a vast array of clinical applications, we are faced with the challenge of developing dynamic treatment planning protocols. This paper will discuss the clinical benefits of immediate implants and outline a synthesis of case selection criteria garnered from amongst current immediate implant trends. Our immedi...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of present article was to review the classifications suggested for assessment of the jawbone anatomy, to evaluate the diagnostic possibilities of mandibular canal identification and risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury, aesthetic considerations in aesthetic zone, as well as to suggest new classification system of the jawbone anatomy in endosseous dental implant treatmen...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to assess the trabecular bone changes that occurred around functional endosseous dental implants by means of radiographic image analysis techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immediate preoperative and postoperative periapical radiographs of de-identified implant patients at the University Dental Hospital of Manchester were retrieved, screened for specific ...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of implant-derived minimally invasive sinus floor elevation. A multicenter retrospective study was performed in 5 dental clinics. Patients requiring sinus augmentation for single implant placement were recorded and followed up. The dental implant used in this trial was a self-tapping endosseous dental implant that contains an internal channel...

The aim of this article was to review the literature on materials, designs, and surface topographies of endosseous dental implants. The different categories of dental implants and the parameters of their design were analyzed in relation to their effect and significance in the process of osseointegration. The events that immediately follow implantation were described, emphasizing the factors tha...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to evaluate the nature and incidence of long-term maxillary sinus adverse events related to endosseous implant placement with protrusion into the maxillary sinus. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS All patients who underwent placement of endosseous dental implants with clinical evidence of implant penetration into the maxillary s...

A clinical case--a follow-up clinical and histological study--is presented in this paper, which describes the use of resorbable hydroxylapatite [OsteoGen (H.A. Resorb), Impladent, Inc., & GBD Marketing Group, Inc., Medical Division, Valley Stream, NY 11580] for the repair of a large mandibular lesion, followed by the placement of an endosseous dental implant six weeks after the graft placement....
