OBJECTIVES Interest in bone graft material has increased with regard to restoration in cases of bone defect around the implant. Autogenous tooth bone graft material was developed and commercialized in 2008. In this study, we evaluated the results of vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation with autogenous tooth bone graft material. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study targeted patients who had ...

Aims: purpose of this study is to evaluate crestal bone reabsorption through prosthetic rehabilitation of mono or bi-edentulism in aesthetical sectors using non post-extractive implants with “one abutment – one time” method. Methods: 24 patients have been selected and randomized in two groups: PA group: 12 patients rehabilitated using provisional abutments and DA group: 12 patients rehabilitate...

Osseointegration refers to the connection between living bone and surface of an implanted device that bears functional load. The Piezosurgery device, as compared rotating instruments, promotes improved wound healing reduces occurrence microfractures smear layer. In this case report, objective was investigate impact using a piezoelectric for preparing osteotomy site on loss crestal around dental...

This is the first report of a group of 50 partially edentulous patients who received a total of 151 Endopore dental implants in the maxilla. A mean implant length of 8.7 mm was used, and 76.8% of implants were placed in the posterior maxilla. At re-entry, all implants appeared to be osseointegrated and were used to support fixed prostheses. Approximately half of the crowns (57%) in these prosth...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated alveolar bone loss around mandibular incisors, induced by the Herbst appliance. METHODS The sample consisted of 23 patients (11 men, 12 women; mean age of 15.76 ± 1.75 years), Class II, Division 1 malocclusion, treated with the Herbst appliance. CBCT scans were obtained before treatment (T0) and after Herbst treatment (T1). Vertical alveolar bone level and alveo...

results the mean distances between the crestal bone and the implant shoulder in group 1 were 1.01, 1.44, and 1.93 mm at the implant placement time, and at the 6 and 12-month postoperative intervals, respectively. in group 2, these distances were 1.35, 1.20, and 1.41 mm, respectively. there were no significant differences in the marginal bone resorption between the two groups (p > 0.05). conclus...

Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of implant-abutment interface (IAI) placement depths on peri-implant tissues in the presence of ligature-induced peri-implant inflammation. Materials and Methods. Two implants with screwed-in IAIs (SI) and two implants with tapped-in IAIs (TI) were inserted in one side of the mandible in six dogs eight weeks after tooth extraction. Fo...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the survival rate and the clinical, radiographic and prosthetic success of 1920 Morse taper connection implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS One thousand nine hundred and twenty Morse taper connection implants were inserted in 689 consecutive patients, from January 2003 until December 2006. Implants were clinically and radiographically evaluated at 12, 24, 36 and 48 mont...
