Case Implant rehabilitation in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been reported an improvement in the quality of life. Implanttreatment success depends on many factors like achievement of appropriate osseointegration. There are many controversies about theinteractions between anti-rheumatic drugs and osseointegration. Moreover, the scientifc evidence regarding implant survi...

Objectives: The aim of present study was evaluation of saccule function in cochlear implant candidates with severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss Before and after cochlear implantation Methods: In this study 35 cochlear implant (CI) candidates with bilateral severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and about 30 days after cochlear implant and 20 normal-hearing cases as ...

background and aim of study: long span is seen in many clinical situations, treatment planning options of these cases are difficult and may require: fpd, rpd or isp. each option has its own disadvantages: mechanical, patient relief and cost respectively. this article will evaluate the stress distribution of another treatment option which is adding a single supporting implant to the fpd by using...

Abstract Background Direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction is increasingly performed as the preferred method of immediate following mastectomy. The proposed advantages DTI over two-stage tissue expander (TE)/implant relate to fewer surgical procedures. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims evaluate safety efficacy versus conventional TE/implant reconstruction. Method A was (PubMe...

Introduction: Implant restorations should endure a variable range of forces over long period time. Some commercial brands offer the implant together with an accessory called “implant mount” or holder,” which might be used as temporary abutment. However, scientific literature in use holders abutments for is scarce.Objectives: The purpose this vitro study was to compare load at Direct® and Zimmer...

BACKGROUND Dental primary implant stability is considered essential in the success of the osseointegration process. The recent advent of the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) seems to effectively measure primary implant stability, although its relationship with implant survival has to be further established. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy patients with complete mandibular edentulism underwent ...

PURPOSE High crown-implant ratios might affect the biologic and technical performance of a reconstruction. The aim of this study was to assess whether a higher crown-implant ratio of single restorations on 6-mm implants resulted in more peri-implant bone loss and more prosthetic complications during a 1-year followup period. MATERIALS AND METHODS A group of 37 patients were provided with 47 s...

The prerequisites of a successful dental implant are the achievement and maintenance of implant stability. Implant stability may be well-defined as the lack of clinical mobility that is also described as osseo integration. As a mechanical phenomenon, primary implant at placement is associated with quantity and quality of the local bone, the kind of implant method and placement used. Secondary i...

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the parameters of dental implants such as patient gender, number of implant, failed implant before prosthetic restorations and failed implant after implantation and failed implant after prosthetic restorations. 135 male and 99 female patients, total 234 implant patients which have been treated with 450 implant between 20052009 years in GATA Ha...
