background. improving the implantation conditions in order to reduce the failure is always desirable for researchers. the aim of this study was to compare two different types of dental implant materials from biomechnical viewpoint in order to introduce a novel simulation method to select suitable materials for dental implants. methods. in this research, drilling process was performed in the cor...

context a key determinant for clinical success is the diagnosis of the bone density in a potential implant site. the percentage of bone-implant contact is related to bone density, and the axial stress contours around an implant are affected by the density of bone. evidence acquisition a number of reports have emphasized the importance of the quality of bone on the survival of dental implants. t...

Immediate implant placement in a single staged approach, with or without provisionalization, can be advantageous in preserving gingival anatomy around dental implants. However, placing implants immediately in the changing alveolar bone of an extraction socket may result in progressive recession of the gingival labial margin over the implant restoration. This negative outcome may be overcome wit...

The use of dental implants to assist in the treatment of partial and complete edentulism is well documented. Most of the implant literature, however, reports results associated with implant survival and success when there has been adherence to rigid placement and loading protocols. Conventionally, these protocols call for the undisturbed healing of the implant—3 months in the mandible and 4 to ...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Many dental clinicians are concerned about immediate loading of inserted implants. However, there have been few clinical studies surveying the success rates of immediate loading, based on Korean implant systems. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of immediate functional loading of the implant (SinusQuick™ EB, Neobiotech Co., Seoul, Korea) in partial...

As endosseous dental implant therapy rapidly becomes the prosthetic standard of care for a vast array of clinical applications, we are faced with the challenge of developing dynamic treatment planning protocols. This paper will discuss the clinical benefits of immediate implants and outline a synthesis of case selection criteria garnered from amongst current immediate implant trends. Our immedi...

background and aims. because of compromised angulations of implants, the abutments are sometimes prepared. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of removing one wall of the implant abutment on the retention of cement-retained crowns. materials and methods. four prefabricated abutments were attached to analogues and embedded in acrylic resin blocks. the first abutment was left ...

For years, dental implants have been loaded immediately upon implant placement with varying degrees of success. As clinicians' understanding of the biological and mechanical factors involved in immediate occlusal loading (IOL) has evolved, the success of these procedures has increased--particularly as a treatment option for the restoration of the edentulous mandible or the mandible that will be...

OBJECTIVES The development of treated implant surfaces, added to the increase of the aesthetic requirements by the patients has led to a change in the treatment protocols as well as the development of techniques such as the one-fase implants and the immediate prosthetic loading. One of the usual contraindications of the implant treatment is the presence of periapical disease associated to the t...
