Research has shown that tooth loss results in morphological changes in alveolar ridge that may influence the subsequent implant placement. Immediate implant placement was introduced as a possible means to limit bone resorption and reduce the number of surgical procedures following tooth extraction. Histological and clinical evidence from human clinical studies showing efficacy of immediate impl...

antagonists are a common orthodontic problem, especially in adult patients. To facilitate prosthodontic restoration in the mandible, the overerupted molars have to be intruded, which tends to cause the adjacent teeth to extrude when conventional appliances are used. In recent years, temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have allowed orthodontists to overcome these drawbacks while avoiding unesthet...

OBJECTIVE To compare the anchorage effects of the implants and the headgear for patients with anterior teeth retraction in terms of incisor retraction, anchorage loss, inclination of maxillary incisors, positional change of maxillary basal bone, and treatment duration. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search for relative randomized controlled trials (RCTs) prospective and retrospective con...

PURPOSE Fracture of orthodontic mini-implants during insertion is a limiting factor for their clinical success. The purpose of this study was to determine the fracture potential of commonly used self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants when placed into simulated thick, dense mandibular bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six mini-implant systems were assessed for the potential for fracture (Aarhus, Me...

BACKGROUND One-piece narrow diameter implants (NDIs) have been recommended as "Single-tooth replacements in the anterior zones, single posterior, multiple-unit fixed dental prosthesis (FDP), edentulous jaws to be rehabilitated with FDP, and edentulous jaws rehabilitation with overdentures in situations with reduced mesiodistal space or reduced ridge width." (ITI consensus 2013). Since NDIs can ...

One piece mini implants are viable and predictable options to conventional implants in areas of deficit bone width. These can be placed without complex surgical augmentation procedures and are cost effective. Four mini implants were placed in a 40 year old female patient replacing her mobile mandibular anterior teeth. Provisional restoration was given after 2 weeks followed by individual cerami...

As digital workflows are gaining popularity, novel treatment options have also arisen in orthodontics. By using selective laser melting (SLM), highly customized 3D-printed appliances can be manufactured and combined with preformed components. When temporary anchorage devices (TADs), the advantages of two approaches merged, which might improve efficacy, versatility, patient comfort. This article...
