PURPOSE The design of the attachment must provide an optimum stress distribution around the implant. In this study, for implant overdentures with a bar/clip attachment or a locator attachment, the stress transmitted to the implant in accordance with the change in the denture base length and the vertical pressure was measured and analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Test model was created with epox...

ABSTRACT In order to evaluate the effect of countersinking on dental implants primary stability installed in low density bones, thirty dental implants were installed in the most proximal region of oxen ribs and grouped as follow: Group1: Fifteen implants installed by standard drilling with countersinking, Group2: Fifteen implants installed by standard drilling without countersinking. The gradua...

BACKGROUND In the literature on nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with one-stage immediate implant reconstruction, contralateral symmetrisation has drawn little attention, with many surgeons still performing standard cosmetic mammaplasty procedures. However, standard implant-based mammaplasty usually does not result in proper symmetry with the mastectomy side, especially regarding breast projecti...

The resonance frequency analysis (RFA) technique is widely used for stability assessments of dental implants. The technique makes use of a transducer peg, which is attached to the implant and excited over a range of frequencies by electro-magnetic waves to measure the resonance frequency (RF) of the peg. The underlying RF in Hz is then translated to an Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) on a scal...

Currently, approximately half of all hip fractures are extracapsular, with an incidence as high as 50 in 100,000 in some countries. The common classification systems fail to explain the logistics of fracture classification and whether they all behave in the same manner. The Muller AO classification system is a useful platform to delineate stable and unstable fractures. The Dynamic hip screw (DH...

TOP Objective: To compare the recognition of vowels and sentences in noise by cochlear implant patients using a 6-channel, continuous interleaved sampling (CIS) processor and by normal-hearing subjects listening to speech processed in the manner of the implant processor and output as six amplitude-modulated sine waves. Design: Subjects, 11 normal-hearing listeners and 7 cochlear implant patient...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of implant diameter, length and shape on a surrogate parameter of implant survival; i.e. the implant return rate in a big data analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted and the factors influencing the success rates of 69,377 sold implants over a seven-year period were evaluated. The osseointegration progra...

introduction: the purpose of this case report is to analyze the results of vestibuleplasty around an over-denture based on dental implants to determine the evidence on the effectiveness of laser-assisted surgery and soft tissue management in implant dentistry. case report: the patient in this case report was a 57 year- old male who was completely edentulous, with a mandibular over denture based...
