The study aimed to compare between dynamic implant valve (DIVA) and the crestal ballooning techniques in elevating maxillary sinus membrane (MSM) conjunction with simultaneous implantation. Patients methods: 20-patient prospective clinical cohort study. Ages ranged from 42 53 years, had atrophic edentulous maxillae posterior region. To determine status, patients were investigated utilizing intr...

BACKGROUND Many chemical and physical modifications of titanium surfaces were introduced, aiming at improving surface bioactivity, but few comparative evidence exists. OBJECTIVE To evaluate histologically in minipigs the osseointegration of implants made of commercially pure (CP) titanium or titanium alloy, treated by different roughening procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three sandblasted a...

AIMS This study aims to relate bone density in Hounsfield units (Hu) with the primary implant stability measured by insertion torque (Ncm) and resonance frequency analysis (ISQ). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients were included in this study. A total of 54 implant sites were provided from 10 computerized tomography scans. The computerized tomography scan was used for the preoperative evaluati...

Previous studies have shown that the most reliable way to evaluate success of an implant is by bone-to-implant contact (BIC). Recent techniques allow modifications surface improve mechanical and biological characteristics, also upgrade osseointegration. Objective: The aim was osseointegration in rabbit tibia two different titanium dental surfaces: shot-blasted with Al2O3 (SB) same treatment aci...

BACKGROUND Post-Extraction ridge preservation using bone graft substitutes is a conservative technique to maintain the width of the alveolar ridge. The objective of the present study was to evaluate an in situ hardening biphasic (HA/β-TCP) bone graft substitutes for ridge preservation without primary wound closure or a dental membrane. METHODS A total of 15 patients reported for tooth extract...

The objective of this study was to compare the stability, survival, and tolerability of 2 percutaneous osseointegrated titanium implants for bone conduction hearing: a 4.5-mm diameter implant (test) and a 3.75-mm diameter implant (control). Fifty-seven adult patients were included in this randomized controlled clinical trial. Sixty implants were allocated in a 2:1 (test–control) ratio. Follow-u...

BACKGROUND The influences of potential bone-to-implant contact (BIC) area (pBICA), BIC area (BICA), and three dimensional (3D) BIC percentage (3D BIC%; defined as BICA divided by pBICA) in relation to the implant length on initial implant stability were studied. Correlations between these parameters were also evaluated. METHODS Implants with lengths of 8.5, 10, 11.5, and 13 mm were placed in ...
