A partially edentulous maxilla is treated with bilateral sinus lifts and implant placement. The maxilla presented with total pneumatization at the right and left molar area and partial pneumatization on the left premolar. Soft and hard tissue anatomy for lower arch was suitable for implant placement, while in the maxilla bone was not adequate for placing the implants. In the maxillary right and...

PURPOSE To report on a cohort of patients referred to a tertiary center because of neuropathic pain after dental implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study of pain after dental implant placement involved a minimum follow-up of 12 months after the initial diagnosis of neuropathic pain or persistent, uncontrolled postoperative pain at the Department of Oral and Maxillofac...

Alveolar atrophy following tooth extraction remains a challenge for future dental implant placement. Immediate implant placement and postextraction alveolar preservation are 2 methods that are used to prevent significant postextraction bone loss. In this article, we report the management of a maxillary tooth extraction socket using an alveolar preservation technique involving placement of a con...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effects of continual intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on implant stability in the presence of osteoporosis, using rabbit models. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen female New Zealand white rabbits underwent ovariectomy and were administered glucocorticoids to induce osteoporosis, following which they were divided into three groups. ...

Aim of the present study was to assess changes in microflora delayed and immediately placed implant. In this study, a total 30 implant areas patients were analyzed. The group consists 14 male 16 female participants age range 20-40 years. randomly divided into two groups (15 each group). Group A: Immediate Implant Placement, B: Delayed Placement. placement done accordingly. materials media used ...

Background: The focus of the implant therapy is now shifting to a stable restoration rather than mere osseointegration. Placement dental implants has become an indispensable part mainstream dentistry, offering improved quality life patients. One physiological changes that occurs after tooth extraction alveolar ridge resorption. A variety bone graft materials and platelet concentrates which are ...

AIM To analyse data on bone augmentation at single-tooth implants with regard to the type of graft materials, the stability of grafts over time, reported time span towards implant placement, implant survival rates, implant marginal bone maintenance and possible complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature review resulted in 585 titles after exclusion of duplicates. Analyses of article tit...

Post-extraction crestal bone resorption is common and unavoidable which can lead to significant ridge dimensional changes. To regenerate enough bone for successful implant placement, Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is often required. GBR is a surgical procedure that uses barrier membranes with or without particulate bone grafts or/and bone substitutes. There are two approaches of GBR in implant ...

Conventional implant protocols required a load-free healing period of three to six months between placement and functional loading of the implants. Many efforts have been made to minimize the duration of treatment time. Several literatures have documented immediate function with provisional or definitive prosthesis within a week of the placement in response to these demands. In addition, immedi...
