AIM The goal of pre-surgical dental implant treatment planning is to position the optimum number and size of implant fixtures to achieve the best restorative results. The purpose of this article is to describe the use of radiographic imaging software to calibrate and measure anatomical landmarks to overcome inherent distortions associated with dental radiographs. The procedure along with its po...

PURPOSE This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of implant length on peri-implant marginal bone loss (MBL) and its associated influencing factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search of the PubMed and MEDLINE databases for relevant studies published in English from November 2006 to July 2012 was performed by one examiner (AM). Selected studies were randomized clinical trials...

Primary Stability (PS) depends on different factors, such as bone structure (quality and density), implant characteristics (macro micro), the relationship between thread shape insertion hole size. PS is crucial for prognosis success of dental implants. The use healing chambers, which create empty spaces peri-implant bone, helps reduce risk compressive necrosis. High Insertion Torque (IT) values...

the purpose of this study was to determine the influence of platform switching on stress distribution of two different implant systems using three-dimensional (3d) finite element models.six 3d finite element models were created to replicate two different implant systems with peri-implant bone tissue, in which six different implant-abutment configurations were represented: model xive-a: 3.8-mm-d...

objective: low quality of the bone and insufficient bone due to the size of the sinus and resorption of the alveolar ridge decrease the long-term survival of implants in the posterior maxilla compared to other regions of the jaws. surgical procedures to increase bone volume make it possible to place implants longer than 8 mm. in this situation sinus elevation makes it possible to place implants...

Dr. Fisher: The first issue would be to find out what size she wants to be. One rule of thumb is that the larger the implant, the less lift is required. If you look at her side view, her nipple is almost at her inframammary fold. I think she has adequate tissue for me to consider subglandular placement of gel implants, using a periareolar incision. Once the implant is inserted, I could determin...

Background and Aim: Different attachment designs have been developed to connect implant to natural teeth in partial dentures; however, adequate studies have not been performed to determine stress distribution patterns in these designs. The present study aimed to assess stress distribution patterns in natural tooth and implant supported removable partial denture with different attachment designs...
