To ensure the long-term success of a dental implant, it is imperative to understand how chewing loads are transferred through implant prosthetic components surrounding bone tissue. The stress distribution depends on several factors, such as load type, bone–implant interface, shape and materials fixture quality quantity bone. These aspects fundamental importance stability evaluate remodelling ca...

BACKGROUND Implant-based reconstruction rates have risen among irradiation-treated breast cancer patients in the United States. This study aims to assess the morbidity associated with various breast reconstruction techniques in irradiated patients. METHODS From the MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database, the authors selected breast cancer patients who had undergone mastectomy, i...

Dental implant has been restoring the function and esthetics lost from missing tooth. However, biomechanical implant complications are the major cause of failing implants. Therefore, implant removal is one of the indispensable dental treatments. The 70-year-old male and 66-year-old female who had discomfort on posterior implants region came to Department of Periodontology. Conventional method u...

This study compared bone grafting regimens and different implant surfaces used for sinus augmentation and presented long-term implant success rates in augmented sinuses. Two hundred fifty-seven consecutive patients with 625 implants were evaluated retrospectively. In phase 1, 188 sinuses were grafted with (1) autograft alone; (2) autograft + demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) + a...

Orthopedic implant failures are often associated with peri-implant osteolysis. Particles generated from the wear process have been suspected to play an important role in this situation. Indeed, the peri-implant osteolysis could be due to the presence of particles stimulating the osteoclastogenesis process. We hypothesize then that the presence of a low particle concentration positively influenc...

Dental implants have become one of the most popular and rapidly growing techniques for replacing missing teeth. While their predictability, functionality, and durability make them an attractive option for patients and clinicians alike, complications can arise at any stage from patient assessment to maintenance of therapy. Failure of dental implants not only occurs due to biological factors, lik...

Purpose. The purpose of this retrospective case series is to evaluate the clinical advantages and limitations of monolithic zirconia restorations for full arch implant supported restorations and report the rate of complications up to 2 years after insertion. Materials and Methods. Fourteen patients received implant placement for monolithic zirconia full arch reconstructions. Four implants were ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term result of implant therapy, using implant loss as outcome variable. MATERIAL AND METHOD Two hundred and ninty-four patients had received implant therapy (Brånemark System) during the years of 1988-1992 in Kristianstad County, Sweden. The patients were recalled to the speciality clinic 1 and 5 years after placement of the sup...

The endodontic endosseous implant (EEI) enjoyed wide use in the United States after it was introduced in the 1960's. For various reasons including incorrect case selection, improper use of the materials, and poor preparation for the implant a high number of failures resulted. Following opposition by some members of the dental community, the procedure fell into disuse. The authors of this articl...
