The use of immediate loaded prostheses is not recommended for at least 2 weeks to prevent implants from premature loading. In addition, immediate removable prostheses are negated for at least 4 weeks at the site of guided bone regeneration or bone graft. However, patients are often not pleased with limited diets and the unaesthetic appearance during the healing period without a denture between ...

the anterior maxilla presents a challenging milieu interior for ideal placement of implants because of the compromised bone quality. with the advent of intraoral bone harvesting and augmentation techniques, immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sockets have become more predictable. immediate implant placement has numerous advantages compared to the delayed procedure including superi...

background and objective: the concept of immediate occlusal loading with dental implants offers several advantages. in this research, the effect of type of restoration on osseointegration rate of dental implants was histologically evaluated. materials and methods: three months prior to implantation, the lower premolar teeth of 15 dogs were extracted. then, 3 to 4 maestro™ implants were placed i...

Numerous studies have confirmed the predictability of dental implants used for the replacement of a single missing tooth. Successful application of this surgical protocol is still technique sensitive and should be executed only by experienced restorative teams. Factors such as implant stability, implant design, immediate loading, provisionalization, and various others have a direct influence on...

This study's objective was to identify, in a statistically valid and efficient manner, the risk factors associated with dental implant failure. We hypothesize that factors exist which can be modified by clinicians to enhance outcome. A retrospective cohort study design was used. Cohort members had >or= one implant placed. Risk factors were classified as demographic, health status, implant-, ana...

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 availability of in office Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanners, dental implant planning software, CAD CAM milling, and rapid printing technologies allow for the precise placement of dental implants and immediate prosthetic temporization. These technologies allow for flapless implant placement, or open flap bone reduction for "All on 4" techniques with improved preoperative planning and intraoperati...

Early and immediate implant placement with a root-analog implant design is a well established and proven protocol for placing dental implants. Results of more than 25 years of clinical and statistical data indicate that predictable long-term success can be achieved . Moreover, immediate placement offers significant benefits to both the patient and the clinician. The number of surgeries is minim...

Implant treatment is an attractive substitute to the traditional prosthetic appliances. However, diabetes mellitus has long been considered a relative contraindication to dental implant therapy. In this case report, we present the results of an immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets of mandibular anterior teeth and the implantation of the edentulous posterior mandibular regions...
