Diabetes mellitus, a prevalent disorder worldwide, is associated with systemic adverse sequelae, such as wound healing alterations, which may affect osseointegration of dental implants. This prospective multicenter study assessed the success of 2-stage endosseous root-form implants (3 different implant systems) placed in the mandibular symphysis of 89 male type 2 diabetic subjects. The implants...

Aim: The purpose of the present research was to evaluate various sinus augmentation techniques for implant placements. Methodology: Four were evaluated: 1-stage bone-added osteotome floor elevation procedure (BAOSFE) with simultaneous placement; 2-stage BAOSFE delayed lateral window and placement. Patients followed 18 72 months (mean: 52.5 months) after prosthesis Data analyzed cone-beam comput...

BACKGROUND The long-term stability of maxillary sinus floor augmentation with β-TCP remains largely unknown. We report the long-term assessment of volumetric changes in maxillary sinus floor augmentation with β-TCP by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS The subjects included 30 patients who underwent maxillary sinus floor augmentation using β-TCP and 58 implant placement for unilate...

OBJECTIVES To assess the ability of baseline resonance frequency analysis (RFA) measurements to predict early implant failure in the posterior maxilla and to evaluate potential correlations between this measurement with Hounsfield units, bone quality variables, and implant dimension. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective randomized study involved 46 SLActive Straumann implants placed in the ...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of immediate and delayed rehabilitation of edentulous jaws by means of two straight and two tilted implants after one year of function. materials and methods: thirty consecutive patients (16 males, 14 females) were enrolled in this study. two anterior straight and two posterior tilted implants were placed in each patient. accordi...

 Dental implants, as a result of their excellent success rates and advantages over fixed or removable methods, have become the optimal treatment for replacing missing teeth. Surgical and restorative techniques that can reduce the loss of hard and soft tissues that often accompany implant placement are desirable. Achieving an esthetic outcome in tooth replacement and implant treatment requires a...

tive dental interventions is an optimal, longlasting outcome. Numerous techniques and technologies are available to increase the quality and predictability of dental treatment, even in severely compromised patients. These tools include immediate implant treatment protocols, minimally invasive surgical procedures, guided implant placement, and computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture ...

one of the complications during a routine dental implant placement is accidental ingestion of the implant instruments, which can happen when proper precautions are not taken. appropriate radiographs should be taken to locate the correct position of foreign body; usually the foreign body passes asymptomatically from gastrointestinal tract but sometimes it may lead to intestinal obstruction, perf...

Displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is a rare complication. This article presents a case of displaced dental implant into maxillary sinus. Retrieval of the dental implant from left maxillary sinus was performed via endoscopic sinus surgery. This case highlighted a delayed referral of a 53-year-old male by a general dental practitioner for management of a dislodged dental im...

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...
