objective: low quality of the bone and insufficient bone due to the size of the sinus and resorption of the alveolar ridge decrease the long-term survival of implants in the posterior maxilla compared to other regions of the jaws. surgical procedures to increase bone volume make it possible to place implants longer than 8 mm. in this situation sinus elevation makes it possible to place implants...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the long-term survival and success of different implant-supported prostheses supported by ITI implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred fifty consecutive patients were rehabilitated using implant-supported prostheses. Seven hundred fifty-nine implants were loaded. Single-tooth prostheses (n = 106), cantilever fixed partial prostheses (n = 42), fixed partial pros...

Introduction: The survival of an implant system is affected by the choice of antirotational design, which can include an external or internal hex. Implant success also is affected by the maintenance of the crestal bone around implants. The aim of present study was to evaluate the crestal bone loss and clinical parameters related to bone loss in patients loaded with an external or internal hex 3...

The purposes of the study are to study the implant survival of the wide-diameter implant and to analyze if the length, the implant surface, or the placement location has any effect on its survival. Electronic databases were searched from inception to Dec 2014. Studies included in the review had implants placed in areas of adequate bone width and had clear inclusion and exclusion criteria for pa...

Part I of this study describes the survival of a wide-platform, wide-diameter implant (Wide-Platform Mk II). Beginning in January 1997, 85 Wide-Platform Mk II implants were placed in the jaws of 63 patients (35 males and 28 females). Male patients experienced 10 implant failures, and female patients lost 9 implants. The mean time of implant follow-up was 286 days (median, 280), with a maximum o...

Purpose: To evaluate long-term clinical performance of 1-stage dental implant prostheses at a single clinic, emphasizing clinical and demographic characteristics that affect implant survival. Materials and Methods: Dental records of all 308 patients (674 implants) treated with 1-stage implants at Mayo Clinic from October 1993 through May 2000 were reviewed from implant placement to last visit. ...

BACKGROUND Research interest on immediate placement of dental implants has shifted from implant survival toward optimal preservation of soft and hard tissues. The aim of this study is to systematically assess the condition of implant survival, peri-implant hard and soft tissue changes, esthetic outcome, and patient satisfaction of immediately placed single-tooth implants in the esthetic zone. ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of short nanorough implants (8.5 mm in length) provided with either a platform-matched or a platform-switched implant-abutment connection, placed in the resorbed posterior region of partially dentate patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 149 implants with a dual-acid surface and a discrete crystalline deposition of nanometer-sized CaP particles, with e...

Case Implant rehabilitation in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been reported an improvement in the quality of life. Implanttreatment success depends on many factors like achievement of appropriate osseointegration. There are many controversies about theinteractions between anti-rheumatic drugs and osseointegration. Moreover, the scientifc evidence regarding implant survi...
