Immediate loading of dental implants has become a widely reported practice with success rates ranging from 70.8% to 100%. Although most studies have considered implant survival to be the only measure of success, a better definition includes the long-term stability of the hard and soft tissues around the implant(s) and other adjacent structures, as well as the long-term stability of all the rest...

This paper describes a numerical study performed with the finite element method of novel dental implant system. A conventional Brånemark dental implant system was redesigned and a bio-inert stress barrier (elastomer) was interposed between the implant and the ceramic crown. The goal was to attenuate the loading of the bone surrounding the implant with high magnitude stresses. The new design was...

With the advent of immediate single stage implant placement and immediate prosthesis fabrication, the edentulous patients can today walk out with “Teeth in a day”. Moreover, the refinement of clinical protocols, the application of sound biomechanical principles, improvements in implant design, and the development of new implant surfaces have resulted in the increased use of this procedure. The ...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to understand if practicing dentists appreciate the difference in criteria for success used in the endodontic and implant literature, to evaluate the perceived outcome of implant therapy compared with endodontic treatment, and to evaluate current and projected utilization of implant and endodontic treatment. STUDY DESIGN A 16-question survey was distribut...

BACKGROUND There are many implant cases in which dental technicians take initiative with regard to the design of implant prostheses, and to a certain extent, this area of care is one in which dentists do not necessarily play the leading role. Moreover, inadequate communication between dental technicians and dentists and insufficient instructions for technicians has been highlighted as issues in...
