OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of computer-assisted implant insertion based on computed tomography and template-guided implant placement. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 246 implants were placed with the aid of 3D-based transfer templates in 181 consecutive partially edentulous patients. Five groups were formed on the basis of different implant systems, surgic...

The clinical application of multiple implant-supported restorations in edentulous jaws has proven to be a predictable long-term treatment (1, 2). The implant-supported restoration has also been proposed for the replacement of the single tooth (48). The single-tooth implant restoration has changed treatment planning of the missing tooth in the anterior sextant. Clinical situations in which singl...

Percutaneous hearing devices are a type of semi-implantable systems. They translate the sound into vibrations which conducted by skull to inner ear. The implant is embedded in surgery performed under local or general anesthesia. processor being attached directly implant. objective this study analyze surgical complications that occur after implantation.

background: one of the most frequent concerns encountered in dental implant treatments is inadequate pre‑operative planning. panoramic radiographs are readily accessible and cost efficient. the aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of vertical measurements in mandibular molar andpremolar region on panoramic radiography. materials and methods : panoramic radiographs were made of a partiall...

Clinical features of surgical soft tissue wound healing in dentistry have been rarely discussed in the international literature. The aim of the present paper is to highlight both the main clinical findings of surgical wound healing, especially in periodontal and implant dentistry, and the wound healing monitoring procedures which should be followed. Wound inspection after careful food and plaqu...

this case report presents a combination of surgical and prosthetic solutions applied to a case of oral implant rehabilitation in post-oncologic reconstructed mandible. bone resection due to surgical treatment of large mandibular neoplasm can cause long-span defects. currently, mandibular fibula free flap graft is widely considered as a reliable technique for restoring this kind of defect. it re...

This clinical case describes the effect of the osteotome technique on the osseointegration of a mandibular dental implant in a 42-year-old female patient with dento-alveolar bony defects and to review the literature regarding immediate implant placement using osteotome technique. The amount of bone expansion at the alveolar ridge and the marginal bone resorption from the time of implant placeme...

Single immediate implant replacement is accompanied by excellent survival rates and a favorable esthetic outcome. The objective of this report was to describe a surgical approach for removal of a buccal or palatally located impacted secondary canine, combined with extraction of the failing primary canine, and immediate placement and provisionalization of an implant. A window technique was appli...

This study compared the experiences with surgical procedures and treatment effects of a mainly implant-supported overdenture retained by a transmandibular implant with those of an implant tissue-supported overdenture retained by two cylindrical endosseous implants. Treatment had been assigned according to a balanced allocation method to 95 patients, including a control group who received only c...

Background. A number of surgical techniques for implant site preparation have been advocated to enhance the implant of primary and secondary stability. However, there is insufficient scientific evidence to support the association between the surgical technique and implant stability. Purpose. This review aimed to investigate the influence of different surgical techniques including the undersized...
