Abstract Introduction The investigation of peri-implant diseases risk indicators helps to prevent and target treatment techniques. Objective aim this cross-sectional study was determine the occurrence peri-implantitis its potential indicator factors, besides assess long-term success survival rates dental implants after 8 10 years function. Material method For this, fifty individuals who had rec...

A literature review is made to analyze the survival of implants placed with the osteotome technique. A PubMed search was made based on the key words "osteotome AND dental implants", corresponding to publications between 1998-2008. The inclusion criteria were: a) a minimum of 10 patients; b) a minimum follow-up of 6 months; c) implants placed using the osteotome technique with or without indirec...

PURPOSE To evaluate the survival, success, and complication rates of tapered double-lead threads single implants, placed in fresh extraction sockets and healed sites of the posterior jaws. METHODS The enrolled patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: in the test group (TG), all implants were inserted at the time of tooth extraction; in the control group (CG), all implants were placed 3 m...

The analyses of clustered survival observations within the same subject are challenging. This study's purpose was to compare and contrast predicted dental implant survival estimates assuming the independence or dependence of clustered observations. Using a retrospective cohort composed of 677 patients (2,349 implants), we applied an innovative analytic marginal approach to produce point and var...

BACKGROUND Nasal defects resulting from tumor resection are preferably rehabilitated with implant-retained nasal prostheses. Aftercare, clinical outcome of the implants, and patients' satisfaction with implant-retained nasal prostheses were assessed. METHODS Twenty-eight consecutive patients needing total rhinectomy because of tumor resection between 1998 and 2013 were treated according to a ...

KUANG-HAN CHANG: A Comparative Study of Three-implant Supported Fixed Dentures and Two-implant Retained Overdentures in Edentulous Mandible: Treatment Efficacy and Patient Satisfaction (Under the direction of Lyndon Cooper) The mandibular two-implant overdentures have been shown to be a highly successful treatment. However, for patients who desire a fixed prosthesis, overdentures may not satisf...

BACKGROUND This study retrospectively investigated outcomes following dental implantation in patients with special needs who required general anesthesia to enable treatment. METHODS Patients underwent implant treatment under general anesthesia at the Clinic for the Disabled in Seoul National University Dental Hospital between January 2004 and June 2017. The study analyzed medical records and ...

PURPOSE This report evaluates the 5-year results of 9 of 10 patients in a clinical investigation of immediate functional loading of Brånemark System implants in edentulous mandibles, and of 24 patients treated with a simplified protocol for the same indication. The purpose of the paper is to suggest a simple, reliable, and documented method for immediate implant loading of complete-arch mandibu...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to measure the peri-implant bone length surrounding implants that penetrate the sinus membrane at the posterior maxilla and to evaluate the survival rate of these implants. METHODS Treatment records and orthopantomographs of 39 patients were reviewed and analyzed. The patients had partial edentulism at the posterior maxilla and limited vertical bone height be...

The endodontic endosseous implant (EEI) enjoyed wide use in the United States after it was introduced in the 1960's. For various reasons including incorrect case selection, improper use of the materials, and poor preparation for the implant a high number of failures resulted. Following opposition by some members of the dental community, the procedure fell into disuse. The authors of this articl...
