peri-implantitis is a site-specifi c infectious disease that causes an infl ammatory process in soft tissues, and bone loss around an osseointegrated implant in function. the etiology of the implant infection is conditioned by the status of the tissue surrounding the implant, implant design, degree of roughness, external morphology, and excessive mechanical load. the microorganisms most commonl...

introduction: the survival of an implant system is affected by the choice of antirotational design, which can include an external or internal hex. implant success also is affected by the maintenance of the crestal bone around implants. the aim of present study was to evaluate the crestal bone loss and clinical parameters related to bone loss in patients loaded with an external or internal hex 3...

objectives: implant primary stability is one of the important factors in achieving implant success. the osteotome technique may improve primary stability in patients with poor bone quality. the aim of this study was to compare implant stability using two different techniques namely osteotome versus conventional drilling in the posterior maxilla. materials and methods: in this controlled randomi...

Abstract This clinical report presents a case of abutment fracture, due to occlusal overload, occurred with an implant-supported restoration on right mandibular first molar of a female patient. After 6 months of prosthetic reconstruction implants, the patient returned to the clinic due to the loss of implant crown. The fractured fragment of the abutment with the screw protec...

providing an esthetic restoration in the anterior region of the mouth has been the basis of peri-implant esthetics. to achieve optimal esthetics, in implant supported restorations, various patient and tooth related factors have to be taken into consideration. peri-implant plastic surgery has been adopted to improve the soft tissue and hard tissue profi les, during and after implant placement. t...

Objectives: Phonemic awareness skills have a significant impact on children speech and language. The purpose of this study was investigating the phonemic awareness skills of children with cochlear implant and normal hearing peers in primary school. Methods: phonemic awareness subscales of phonological awareness test were administered to 30 children with cochlear implantation at the first to ...
