conclusions consequently, this study shows promising results for il of single implants, and it can be considerable that treatment with microtextured surface implants is a predictable and appropriate method of treatment. background the immediate loading (il) protocol has gained increased popularity among surgeons in the last decade. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the clinical performanc...

Dental implants are now broadly used to replace missing teeth, and the presence of infectious complications is rising. Dental implant therapy as a local risk factor for the onset of osteomyelitis and its management have not been widely explored. Here, we report an unusual case of mandibular suppurative osteomyelitis caused by Streptococcus intermedius in a healthy and immunocompetent patient se...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present systematic review is to compare the crestal bone loss (CBL) around dental implants placed in healed sites using flapped and flapless surgical techniques. METHODS The focused question was, "Does flapped and flapless surgical technique influence CBL around dental implants placed in healed sites?" Databases were searched from 1975 up to and including May 2014 us...

The purpose of this study was to perform a literature review of short implants in the posterior maxilla and to assess the influence of different factors on implant success rate. A comprehensive search was conducted to retrieve articles published from 2004 to 2015 using short dental implants with lengths less than 10 mm in the posterior maxilla with at least one year of follow-up. Twenty-four of...

Dental implant treatment is gaining increasing acceptance by Patients. There is wide acceptance in the adopting a minimal invasive approach on restorative dentistry and when combined with the improvement in reliability of implants, dental implant treatment has been transformed from the last choice to the first choice of treatment being offered to patients. With the increasing research both in b...

This clinical report describes a technique to stabilize a computer-aided dental implant surgical guide to existing implants. A patient requested conversion of her existing mandibular implant-assisted overdenture into a fixed complete denture. The surgical procedure was planned virtually, and the two existing dental implants were integrated into the surgical plan as a means to fixate the surgica...

PURPOSE This study surveyed dental hygienists in order to assess their routine approach for dental implant maintenance and to determine if a relationship exists between the formal education of dental hygienists and their previous attendance and interest in future implant related continuing education courses. METHODS A survey was distributed to dental hygienists attending an annual national c...

objectives: with side effects of antibiotics taken into consideration, the necessity of antibiotic therapy after simple implant placement procedures is still a subject of debate and the existing literature on this topic is widely controversial. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of postoperative amoxicillin therapy on early colonization of peri-implant sulcus after implant placement...

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...
