Abstract The implant-supported removable partial dentures should be an alternative to conventional removable partial dentures and implant-supported fixed partial prostheses when the implant’s insertion is confined by bone height and thickness. Placing a single implant in the posterior region would modify the Kennedy Class II configuration to a Kennedy Class III and increase the stability a...

background: decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (dfdba) may have the potential to enhance bone formation around dental implants. our aim in this study was the evaluation and comparison of two types of dfdba in treatment of dehiscence defects around euroteknika ® implants in dogs.     methods: in this prospective clinical trial animal study, all mandibular premolars of three iranian dogs wer...

Implant stability plays a critical role for successful osseointegration, which has been viewed as a direct structural and functional connection existing between bone and the surface of a load-carrying implant(Bränemark, et al. 1977, Sennerby & Roos 1998). Achievement and maintenance of implant stability are prerequisites for successful clinical outcome(Sennerby & Meredith 2008). Therefore, meas...

Primary implant stability is considered to be a critical factor for obtaining successful osseointegration [1]. Studies using Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) have demonstrated that initial implant stability is determined by the density of the bone, the surgical technique used, and the design of the implant [2, 3]. While different implant designs have shown similar results of higher stabilitie...

background: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of shape, diameter and length of implants on their primary stability based on resonance frequency analysis. materials and methods: replace select tapered and branemark mk iii implants were selected. each of these two selected groups was divided into nine subgroups based on the implant length (il) (short, medium and long) and ...

OBJECTIVES Implant primary stability is one of the important factors in achieving implant success. The osteotome technique may improve primary stability in patients with poor bone quality. The aim of this study was to compare implant stability using two different techniques namely osteotome versus conventional drilling in the posterior maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this controlled randomi...

The prerequisites of a successful dental implant are the achievement and maintenance of implant stability. Implant stability may be well-defined as the lack of clinical mobility that is also described as osseo integration. As a mechanical phenomenon, primary implant at placement is associated with quantity and quality of the local bone, the kind of implant method and placement used. Secondary i...

Although dental implants have become a predictable aspect of tooth replacement in prosthodontic treatment [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], failures of up to 10% are still encountered. Furthermore these failures have been more associated with “soft” bone quality [7], 1985) such as encountered in the maxillary posterior area [8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. In a review article by Esposito et al [13], bone quality and volu...

Dental implant treatment is an excellent option for prosthetic restoration that is associated with high success rates. Implant stability is essential for a good outcome. The clinical assessment of osseointegration is based on mechanical stability rather than histological criteria, considering primary stability (absence of mobility in bone bed after implant insertion) and secondary stability (bo...
