AIM The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to assess the survival and success rates of palatal implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy patients (56 female, 14 male; age 25-6 +/- 10-8 years) receiving Orthosystem (Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) palatal implants from March 1999 to November 2006 were included. The indication was established according to the required anchorage for ort...

Innovations and advances in material engineering surface play a key role developing modern, safe, durable, biocompatible implants. The bibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, countries involved research domain of “hip-implants”. All published articles related “hip- implants” from “Scopus”, were Journal Bone Joint Surgery Arthroplasty. ...

PURPOSE To report on the clinical outcome of 150 extrasinus zygomatic implants placed lateral to the maxillary sinus and combined with conventional implants in the anterior maxilla for the implant-supported rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients included in this study presented with completely or partially edentulous maxillae with any remaining teeth indi...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the effects of length and inclination of implants on stress distribution in an implant and terminal abutment teeth in an implant assisted-removable partial denture (RPD) using three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, a 3D finite element model of a partially dentate mandible with a distal extensio...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated cytocompatibility and osseointegration of the titanium (Ti) implants with resorbable blast media (RBM) surfaces produced by grit-blasting or XPEED(®) surfaces by coating of the nanostructured calcium. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ti implants with XPEED(®) surfaces were hydrothermally prepared from Ti implants with RBM surfaces in a solution containing alkaline calcium....

Background: The review presents the scientific state of art in field cementation crowns on implants. Because semipermanent cements have been specially developed for implants, question arises whether this cement group offers an advantage compared to other available and widely used everyday clinical practice. Various factors play a role retentive strength superstructures implants should therefore...

In a retrospective study, Kaplan-Meier implant survival analyses were conducted on 883 patients with 1,964 implants of various systems placed, followed up, documented, and statistically evaluated at an oral surgery and dentistry practice between January 1981 and January 1997. The goal of this study was to evaluate the success of osseointegrated implants of the Brånemark, Frialit-1 (Tübinger Imp...

OBJECTIVES Short implants have become an interesting alternative to bone augmentation in dental implantology. Design of shorter implants and longer surveillance times are a current research issue. The goal of this study was to show the survival rates of short implants below 9 mm in the partly edentulous mandibular premolar and molar regions with fixed prosthetics. Marginal vertical and 2D bone ...

BACKGROUND Rupture is an important complication of breast implants. Before cohesive gel silicone implants, rupture rates of both saline and silicone breast implants were over 10%. Through an analysis of ruptured implants, we can determine the various factors related to ruptured implants. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 72 implants that were removed for implant rupture between 2...
