Implant supported dental prostheses are increasingly used in practice. The aim of this narrative review is to present the influence transmucosal surface prosthetic abutment and implant on peri-implant tissue. article describes causes bone loss around implant. Moreover, properties different materials compared discussed. advantages, disadvantages, biomechanical concept implant-abutment connection...

BACKGROUND Single-tooth replacement often requires a prefabricated dental implant and a customized crown. The benefits of individualization of the abutment remain unclear. PURPOSE This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to study potential benefits of individualization of zirconia implant abutments with respect to preservation of marginal bone level and several clinical and patient-base...

Background: Single-tooth replacement often requires a prefabricated dental implant and a customized crown. The benefits of individualization of the abutment remain unclear. Purpose: This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to study potential benefits of individualization of zirconia implant abutments with respect to preservation of marginal bone level and several clinical and patient-base...

Dental implants have become the preferred treatment option for missing teeth replacement due to their functional and restorative benefits. However, placing in esthetic zone remains a challenge anatomical factors need optimal emergence profile. The use of custom abutments regenerative techniques this case report resulted successful implant-supported restoration with excellent aesthetic outcomes....

PURPOSE This study aims to test whether or not veneering of the submucosal part of zirconia abutments with pink dental ceramic affects radiographic and technical outcomes of implant-supported single crowns (ISSC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Single tooth implants were randomly restored with either pink-veneered zirconia abutments (test; n = 10) or non-veneered zirconia abutments (control group; n =...

OBJECTIVE Using strain gauge (SG) analysis, the aim of this in vitro study was quantify the strain development during the fixation of three-unit screw implant-supported fixed partial dentures, varying the types of implant-abutment joints and the type of prosthetic coping. The hypotheses were that the type of hexagonal connection would generate different microstrains and the type of copings woul...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study is to evaluate, in a ligature-induced peri-implantitis model, the efficacy of three antimicrobial glassy coatings in the prevention of biofilm formation, intrasulcular bacterial growth and the resulting peri-implant bone loss. METHODS Mandibular premolars were bilaterally extracted from five beagle dogs. Four dental implants were inserted on each hemiar...

PURPOSE The increasing demand for esthetically pleasing results has contributed to the use of ceramics for dental implant abutments. The aim of this study was to compare the biological response of epithelial tissue cultivated on lithium disilicate (LS2) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) ceramics. Understanding the relevant physicochemical and mechanical properties of these ceramics will help identify ...

background: the fi nal position of the abutment changes with the amount of tightening torque. this could eventually lead to loss of passivity and marginal misfi t of prostheses. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three different tightening torques on the marginal adaptation of 3-unit cement-retained implant-supported fi xed dental prostheses (fdps). materials and methods: two i...

Introduction: Some clinicians use a handheld screw driver instead of a torque wrench to definitively tighten abutment screws. The aim of this study was to compare the removal torque of one-piece and two-piece abutments tightened with a handheld driver and a torque control ratchet. Methods: 40 ITI implants were placed in acrylic blocks and divided into 4 groups. In groups one and two, 10 ITI one...
