Immediate Loading of Mini Dental Implants for Stabilization of Mandibular Complete Dentures: Rationale and Clinical Considerations

Implant retained mandibular overdentures are a successful treatment option for the edentulous patients with long-term predictable outcomes, using conventional loading protocols. In recent year modified loading protocols such as immediate loading have been introduced. These loading protocols showed good clinical results with favorable peri-implant tissue response after implant insertion. However...

A rationale method for evaluating unscrewing torque values of prosthetic screws in dental implants

OBJECTIVES Previous studies that evaluated the torque needed for removing dental implant screws have not considered the manner of transfer of the occlusal loads in clinical settings. Instead, the torque used for removal was applied directly to the screw, and most of them omitted the possibility that the hexagon could limit the action of the occlusal load in the loosening of the screws. The pres...

Osseointegration is a major factor influencing the success of dental implants. To achieve rapid and strong durable osseoin-tegration, biomaterial researchers have investigated various surface treatment methods for titanium dental implants. Current dental implant research has studied the interaction between bone and implant surface in order to understand the osseointegration process. This specia...

Dental Implants

Many millions of people around the world use removable complete dentures, and while these are designed to serve as substitutes for natural teeth, they are, at best, a compromise. Because dentures are not retained by tooth roots, they can move or slip when speaking, eating or yawning. Pressures exerted on the gums while chewing or food particles lodged under the base can also make dentures uncom...
