The incorporation of virtual engineering into dentistry and the digitization of information are providing new perspectives and innovative alternatives for dental treatment modalities. The use of digital surface scanners with surgical planning software allows for the combination of the radiographic, prosthetic, surgical, and laboratory fields under a common virtual scenario, permitting complete ...

OBJECTIVE Successful dental implant therapy in the maxillary anterior dentition requires meticulous attention to surgical and prosthodontic measures. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS Proper diagnosis, extraction technique, implant selection, and placement significantly impact outcomes. Respect of hard and soft tissue physiology following tooth loss and implant placement requires specific steps be take...

Although the overall success rate of implant dentistry is very high, dental implants occasionally fail. It is essential for the clinician to recognize unhealthy implants and to determine whether they are ailing, failing, or failed prior to beginning any salvage efforts. Ailing and failing implants are amenable to therapy. Implants diagnosed as failed should be removed. This review provides the ...

This article describes the modification of a procedure for fabricating a laboratory-processed, metal-reinforced, acrylic resin provisional restoration that becomes an implant-retained fixed partial denture. The modification involves the incorporation of patrix and matrix components into a cast metal framework. The prosthesis can be used as an alternative to a removable radiologic stent and surg...

Aims And Objectives:To assess the incidence of postoperative surgical site infection following implant surgery in closed fractures. • To determine whether various risk factors & lab investigations are associated with development quantify contribution to probability Materials Methods:This study entitled “A Prospective Analysis Risk Factors for Post-operative Surgical Site Infection Implant...

THE AIM OF THE WORK Interimplant papilla reconstruction is difficult because the biologic width around an implant is apical to the implant-abutment connection and because the biologic width creates subcrestally. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the reconstruction of the interimplant papilla can be achieved by the use of an innovative surgical technique combined with scalloped imp...

Mesh hernioplasty is among the most frequently performed surgical procedures. The introduction of mesh implants has decreased recurrence rates, but the use of synthetic materials carries the risk of infection and biofilm formation. This paper presents the course of the disease in the case of biofilm formation on the surface of an implanted surgical mesh. Antimicrobial therapy and partial remova...

The steadily increasing demand for orthopedic surgeries and declining rates of reimbursement by Medicare and other insurance providers have led many hospitals to look for ways to control the cost of these surgeries. We reviewed administrative records for a 1-year period and recorded total number of surgical cases, number of cases in which an implant was wasted, and cost of each wasted implant. ...
