BACKGROUND: Platform switching for maintaining peri-implant bone levels has gained popularity among implant manufacturers over the last few years. However, the assumption that the inward shifting of the implant-abutment junction may preserve crestal bone was primarily based on serendipitous finding rather than scientific evidence. The objectives of the present study were to systematically revie...

6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injected unilaterally into the striatum of rats induced contralateral circling, and increased the duration of stereotyped movements after subcutaneous (sc) injection of apomorphine both 3 and 13 weeks after surgery. Ten weeks after surgery, the spontaneous locomotor activity during 24 h of observation was decreased. Twelve weeks after 6-OHDA injection, the animals had...

. AbstrAct The purpose of this clinical trial was to study the influence of platform-switching concept on crestal bone changes at non-submerged straight and inclined implants retaining mandibular overdentures. Eight patients received 2 implants one straight and the other inclined in the canine region of the mandible. Mandibular overdentures were retained using spheroflex abutment attachments, w...

Background: The aims of this study are to retrospectively compare the clinical, radiographic and esthetic outcomes platform switching (PS) matching (PM) dental implants in anterior maxilla after ≥ 10 years functional loading. Methods: Marginal bone loss (MBL) levels were recorded; furthermore, peri-implant clinical parameters (PPD, BOP, PI) collected Pink White Esthetic scores (PES/WES) used ev...
