This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the standards of the Academy of General Dentistry Program Approval for Continuing Education (PACE) through the joint program provider approval of Dynamic Dental Educators and Relias Learning. Dynamic Dental Educators is approved for awarding FAGD/MAGD credit. Approval does not imply acceptance by a state or provincial board of de...

Mechanical loading is one of the key factors that influence bone mass and the osseointegration of bone-anchored implants. From a clinical point of view, mechanical stimulation may be used to enhance bone strength and implant osseointegration. Among the many loading parameters that influence the response to mechanical loading, the effects of loading frequency and rate have been investigated in m...

Nowadays, artificial implants, a third denture of human, can maximize the chewing efficiency of patients with missing teeth, delay the absorption of alveolar bone and improve the quality of life. Osseointegration of the interface between the bone and implants, introduced first by Branemark et al. [1,2], is the most determining factor in oral clinical implant applications. As the main material i...

This patient report concerns etiologic factors leading to a failed natural dentition, masticatory function, and poor dental esthetics in a 30-year-old woman. The surgical and restorative treatment provided for the patient was designed to address her dental phobia, location of residence, and debilitated oral condition. While the following case report details an example of the clinical success th...

PURPOSE The aim was to systematically review the efficacy of vitamin D3 (VD3) supplementation on the osseointegration of implants. METHODS The addressed focused question was "does VD3 supplementation affect osseointegration around implants?" Indexed databases were searched from 1969 up to and including March 2015 using various key words including: "Bone to implant contact"; "implant"; "vitami...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) exhibits appropriate biomechanical strength as well as good biocompatibility and stable chemical properties but lacks bioactivity and cannot achieve highly efficient osseointegration after implantation. Incorporating bioceramics into the PEEK matrix is a feasible approach for improving its bioactivity. In this study, nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA) and nano-calcium silicat...

background and objective: the concept of immediate occlusal loading with dental implants offers several advantages. in this research, the effect of type of restoration on osseointegration rate of dental implants was histologically evaluated. materials and methods: three months prior to implantation, the lower premolar teeth of 15 dogs were extracted. then, 3 to 4 maestro™ implants were placed i...

Age-related dysfunction of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is suggested as a main cause of altered bone repair with aging. We recently showed that in postmenopausal women undergoing cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) aging, low bone mineral density (BMD) and age-related geometric changes of the proximal femur are risk factors for increased early migration and delayed osseointegration of t...
