Little is known about longitudinal development of the peri-implant subgingival microbiome and cytokine production as a new sulcus forms after dental implant placement. Therefore, the purpose of this observational study was to evaluate simultaneous longitudinal changes in the oral microbiome and cytokine production in the developing peri-implant sulcus compared to control natural teeth. Four and...

RATIONALE In this case study, we characterized from radiographic, morphological and elemental point of view the mandibular reconstruction that occur in patients affects by periodontitis after application of endosseous titanium implants. In particular, we verified that the bone load applied by titanium implant was able to induce the mandibular osteogenic reconstruction. PATIENT CONCERN A 57-ye...

With the introduction of in-office cone beam computed tomography (CT), improved access to conventional CT scanning, and dental implant treatment planning software allowing on-thespot 3-dimensional evaluations of potential implant sites, the use of "flapless" implant surgery has gained popularity among surgeons. Although the flapless approach was initially suggested for and embraced by novice im...

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...

AIM The purpose of this article is to illustrate the relationship of bone quality and the prognosis of dental implant. BACKGROUND Reported success rates for dental implants are high. Thus, an implant-supported restoration offers a predictable treatment for tooth replacement. Nevertheless, failures that mandate immediate implant removal do occur. CASE DESCRIPTION A case involving a 40-year-o...

Dentistry has become so exciting and challenging since predictability has been recognised for long-term dental implant and restoration success (Adell et al, 1981, Cox and Zarb, 1987, Albrektsson et al, 1981). As the number of patients selecting dental implants as a treatment option continues to grow, the dental team must accept the challenges of maintaining these sometimes complex restorations....

A need for dental implant treatment in the older population is recognized considering the prevalence of partial and complete edentulism and the positive predictability of implant therapy. Even with a number of barriers to overcome for the older adult seeking implant care, dental implants provide stabilizing support for removable dental appliances and have been shown to be successful in that pop...

PURPOSE A survey was conducted to assess the impact of a TED-like educational session on participants' willingness to accept dental implant therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Volunteers interested in having information about dental implant therapies were recruited and asked to complete a two-part survey before and after an educational session. The initial survey elicited demographic information, ...

case selection and treatment plan are important aspects of endodontic treatment. dentists should organize the treatment plan based on their knowledge, abilities, skills and more importantly the patients’ preference and dentition. indubitably, the treatment plan for each patient is exclusive and “tailor-made” and cannot be used for all patients. dentists’ self-estimation of their abilities opens...
