BACKGROUND The social inclusion of tenants living in two forms of supported living schemes - those clustered on one site and those dispersed in neighbourhoods - is contrasted with more traditional provision found on the island of Ireland, namely, small group homes, residential homes and campus-style settings. METHODS A standard pro forma based on measures used in past research was completed b...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the long-term survival and success of different implant-supported prostheses supported by ITI implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred fifty consecutive patients were rehabilitated using implant-supported prostheses. Seven hundred fifty-nine implants were loaded. Single-tooth prostheses (n = 106), cantilever fixed partial prostheses (n = 42), fixed partial pros...

Background and Aim: Different attachment designs have been developed to connect implant to natural teeth in partial dentures; however, adequate studies have not been performed to determine stress distribution patterns in these designs. The present study aimed to assess stress distribution patterns in natural tooth and implant supported removable partial denture with different attachment designs...

Background and Aim: Implant-supported overdentures are a treatment option for edentulous patients. One of the important factors in determining the prognosis of overdenture treatment is to control the distribution of stress in the implant-bone and attachment complex. This study assessed the effect of implant abutment height difference on stress distribution in mandibular overdentures. Materials...

background: with regard to potential retrievability of cement-retained implant restorations, the retentive strength of the luting agents is critical. the aim of this study was to evaluate the retention values of implant-supported metal copings using different luting agents. materials and methods: twenty iti implant analogs and solid abutments of 5.5-mm height were embedded vertically in autopol...

Objectives Maxillary implant-supported over-denture is a suitable treatment where conventional denture cannot be used. Few studies are available on maxillary over-denture while more are available on mandibular over-denture with no literature referring to attachment selection in maxillary over-dentures. The objective of this literature review was to see attachment selection strategies in maxill...

OBJECTIVE In this study, it is aimed to compare the distribution of stress on periodontal and peri-implant bone tissues in 3- and 5-unit-dental and implant-supported zirconia restorations using finite element analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Stress distribution formed in periodontal and peri-implant bone tissues as a result of chewing forces was analyzed in dental and implant-supported three-d...

Various options are available for restoring anterior teeth. Their choice is dictated by the severity of infection of the teeth to be extracted and the pocket depth. Immediate single-stage implant placement proved to be the least traumatic option, which best preserved the soft tissue. A differential use of surgical and prosthodontic techniques is indispensable to account for conditions in the in...
