This review aims to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of zirconia implants compared with titanium implants. Moreover, it intends relevant available long-term literature these two materials regarding osteointegration, soft-tissue, microbiota, peri-implantitis, focusing on clinical results. Briefly, are a reliable alternative for missing teeth; however, they not incapable failure. In an at...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of immediate and delayed rehabilitation of edentulous jaws by means of two straight and two tilted implants after one year of function. materials and methods: thirty consecutive patients (16 males, 14 females) were enrolled in this study. two anterior straight and two posterior tilted implants were placed in each patient. accordi...

Background and objectives: One of the simplest and cheapest attachments for overdentures, is the ball-type attachment, however, keeping it during the first year of prosthesis delivery and after that is one of the main concerns of dentists. The present study aimed to assess the wear of matrix in overdentures attachment supported by one, two and three implants in the mandible. Materials and metho...

Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures. The goal of the operation is to increase the size, shape or fullness of the breast. It is accomplished by placing silicone, saline or alternative composite breast implants under the chest muscles, fascia or the mammary gland. This type of operation is no exception concerning the occurrence of com...

Soft tissue-implant interface is an important anatomical feature contributing to the long-term success of dental implants. Based on the available evidence, different factors may influence biological width around implants including the surgical technique, implant loading, implant surface properties, abutment materials, implant position, and width of the peri-implant mucosa. The purpose of the pr...
