Objective(S): Implant-related infections are disastrous complications in the clinic. One recent strategy to reduce the rate of infection is using the bioactive coating with an antibiotic. The purpose of these bioactive surfaces is to prevent bacterial adhesion to the implant and, consequently, the development of biofilm. In this study, vancomycin-loaded polymeric coating on imp...

Background and aim: Neurosensory disorders after implant insertion are one of the main concerns in implant treatments. Neurosensory disorders can be driven by different factors including the contact of the implant with the nerve, pressure of edema, hematoma, scar, or dental injections. This study aimed at investigating the distance between the implant and the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and i...

conclusions consequently, this study shows promising results for il of single implants, and it can be considerable that treatment with microtextured surface implants is a predictable and appropriate method of treatment. background the immediate loading (il) protocol has gained increased popularity among surgeons in the last decade. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the clinical performanc...

objective: successful bonding of a dental implant to bone, which was referred to as osseointegration by branemark has been well documented. however, long-term prognosis of an implant depends on adequate maintenance and long-term care. an effective maintenance program is required to preserve the health of peri-implant tissues. several techniques have been suggested for this purpose but it is not...

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...

The studies on cochlear implants have been conducted in the United States, Austria, Brasil, France, Finland, and some other countries. Up to now, this technique does not seem to have a wide spread application. Indeed it can only apply cases of deafness still presenting sufficient neural remnants to transmit the message. Moreover, the patient must be totally deaf( quasi­ complete loss of har cel...

i ntroduction: bisphosphonates are  widely used  for  various bone  diseases including osteoporosis and bone tumors. one of the complications associated with these pharmaceutical agents is bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. this condition may be triggered by placement of dental implants. in turn,  osteonecrosis  of  the  jaw  may  cause  failure  in  osseointegration  of implants....

in this article, three techniques for maxillo-mandibular relationship for replace-select implants are described. the use of healing abutments, planning abutments, and impression copings are presented, and the advantages and disadvantages are discussed.

screw-retained implant restorations have an advantage of predictable retention as well as retrievability, and obviate the risk of excessive sub-gingival cement commonly associated with cement retained implant restorations. screw-retained restorations generally have screw access holes, which can compromise esthetics and weaken the porcelain around the holes. the purpose of this study is to descr...
