Bone anchored hearing implants/aids (BAHI/BAHA) utilise a bone anchored hearing aid system to assist people with conductive hearing loss who cannot use traditional hearing aids. It was introduced in the 1970 ́s in the field of dentistry by Swedish Professor Per-Inge Brånemark who implanted titanium dental fixtures in the jaw. He then proceeded to develop titanium implants to anchor hearing aids ...

Implant-supported removable dental prostheses may be supported by a variety of splinted (bar and clip) attachment systems or nonsplinted abutment-based attachments (ball, magnets, and resilient stud attachments such as locators [Zest Anchors], ERA [Sterngold], and nonresilient-stud attachments such as ANKYLOS SynCone [Dentsply Implants]). Nonsplinted attachments are preferred as they are more e...

The original protocol for the placement of endosseous dental implants required a fully submerged positioning beneath the oral soft tissues. This method necessitated a second surgical procedure to facilitate abutment connection and subsequent restoration (Branemark, 1985). It has been observed that the second surgical procedure could reduce or eliminate the amount of keratinized mucosa in the pe...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the influence of abutment materials on the stability of the implant-abutment joint in internal conical connection type implant systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Internal conical connection type implants, cement-retained abutments, and tungsten carbide-coated abutment screws were used. The abutments were fabricated with commercially pure grade 3 titanium (group T3), c...

Synchrotron real-time radioscopy and in situ microtomography are the only techniques providing direct visible information on a micrometre scale of local deformation in the implant-abutment connection (IAC) during and after cyclic loading. The microgap formation at the IAC has been subject to a number of studies as it has been proposed to be associated with long-term implant success. The next st...

Displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is a rare complication. This article presents a case of displaced dental implant into maxillary sinus. Retrieval of the dental implant from left maxillary sinus was performed via endoscopic sinus surgery. This case highlighted a delayed referral of a 53-year-old male by a general dental practitioner for management of a dislodged dental im...

Background: Narrow-diameter implants are planned for specific clinical conditions as locator between adjacent teeth with a narrow bone width or only area in between. They especially advantageous when restoring like lateral maxillary and mandibular incisors first premolars.
 Methods: In the period 2018 2019, 21 patients were rehabilitated implant treatment. A total of 32 placed (The Strauma...

Abstract Dental implant can be defined as the process of inserting an artificial tooth in place natural tooth. This consists a) abutment b) Custom made crown and (c) Implant. implants are two major types Endosteal Subperiosteal Implant, endosteal is more widely used nowadays very rare. Apart from types, it also has variety materials usage. The titanium zirconia. Both zirconium have lots disadva...
