The aim of this prospective 5-year longitudinal study was to follow endosteal implants in which guided bone regeneration (GBR) was applied during implant placement. In 75 patients, defects around implants (Branemark System) were treated with Bio-Oss and Bio-Gide (112 implants). In split-mouth patients in this group, Bio-Oss and Gore-Tex were used in the second defect site (41 implants). All 75 ...

Sixty-seven patients ranging in age from 16 to 86 years were included in this 3- to 5-year retrospective report focusing on implant survival and marginal bone remodeling in relation to implant diameter. A total of 299 Brånemark implants (3.75-mm diameter: 141; 4.0-mm diameter: 61; 5.0-mm diameter: 97) were placed in 16 completely and 51 partially edentulous arches. Seven of the 141 implants in ...

Selection Criteria A systematic review of long-term survival rates of dental implants and natural teeth was conducted. The MEDLINE database was searched for relevant publications up to March 2013. The authors included prospective longitudinal studies and retrospective studies published in English with a minimum follow-up period of 15 years. Studies included assessed tooth preservation or the ef...

Forty-three sites in 16 patients were selected for placement of implants using osteotomes in a single-stage surgical technique. Most sites were treated to enhance bone quality. Sixteen sites in the posterior maxilla had sinus elevation performed in conjunction with implant placement. No soft tissue coverage of the implant cover screw was attempted in either the sinus-elevated or the nonelevated...

In the upper jaw, a cross-arch implant-supported fixed restoration was delivered. In the lower jaw, an implant-supported fixed partial prosthesis was provided, retaining some natural dentition, which increased the risk of a periodontal reservoir. Treatment included multiple extractions and submerged implants. Implant survival rate, patient satisfaction, marginal bone maintenance and soft-tissue...

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to report four year implant survival rate for immediate placement using socket shield technique. Objectives included evaluation esthetic outcomes and any complications associated with this Material methods: This is a prospective cohort 10 consecutive patients Implant between maxillary first premolars Data were collected (PPD, BOP, PES, buccal width keratini...

Background and purpose - In a previous registry report, short-term implant survival of hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) in Finland was found to be comparable to that of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Since then, it has become evident that adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMDs) may also be associated with HRA, not only with large-diameter head metal-on-metal THA. The aim of the study was to ...

The aim of the present study was to identify the peri-implant conditions (bleeding on probing (BOP), pocket probing depth (PPD), modified plaque index (mPI)) and marginal bone loss (MBL, marginal bone level change between follow-up and occlusal loading) around cemented and screw-retained posterior single crowns on tissue-level implants. The study was a retrospective cohort study with up to 4 ye...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to evaluate five-year radiographic follow-up results of the Korean sandblasting with large grit, and acid etching (SLA)-treated implant system. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects of the study are 54 patients who have been followed-up to date, of the patients who underwent implant surgery from May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2011. In all, 176 implant placements...

BACKGROUND Implant site preparation usually consists of several consecutive drilling steps, performed using different burs with increasing diameter. PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to report the clinical outcomes of edentulous patients that underwent implant treatment, in which a special bur that allows preparation of the implant site in a single drilling step was used. MATERIA...
