Connective tissue is an autogenous tissue which has shown successful results as a barrier due to its mesanchymal cells with osteogenic capacity. In this case the defect around the dental implant was treated simultaneously with demineralized freezed dried bone and connective tissue as a membrane. Re-entry was done to evaluate the site in 6 months. Restoration was completely functional in the one...

Background. Stress distribution plays a vital role in the longevity and success of implant-supported prosthesis. This study evaluated von Mises stress microstrain peri-implant bone implant–abutment junction short dental implants with three different connections splinted unsplinted conditions using finite element analysis (FEA). Materials Methods. In this experimental study, nine transversely is...

providing an esthetic restoration in the anterior region of the mouth has been the basis of peri-implant esthetics. to achieve optimal esthetics, in implant supported restorations, various patient and tooth related factors have to be taken into consideration. peri-implant plastic surgery has been adopted to improve the soft tissue and hard tissue profi les, during and after implant placement. t...

background and aims. in contrast to prepared natural dentin abutments, little is known concerning factors influencing the retention of fixed prostheses cemented to implant abutments. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of implant abutment height on the retention of single castings cemented to wide and narrow platform implant abutments. materials and methods. thirty-six parallel-...

OBJECTIVES To retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcome of tapered, multithreaded implants (Tapered Screw-Vent MTX; Zimmer Dental, Inc, Carlsbad, CA) with an emphasis on periimplant crestal bone status around those placed delayed and immediately in the posterior and anterior maxilla. METHODS Chart reviews were performed on 46 patients who had been treated with 173 implants replacing one o...

Although initial considerations in implant dentistry have claimed that the process of osseointegration requires on average an undisturbed healing of three months in the mandible and six months in the maxilla 1-3, an increasing interest has been noticed with regard to early and immediate loading of implants to expedite the restorative outcome. Donath et al. reported that load exerted at the impl...

OBJECTIVE Immediate loading of dental implants in the edentulous mandible has proven to be an effective, reliable, and predictable procedure. There is little long-term data available on similar treatments in the edentulous maxilla. The aim of the present study was to clinically evaluate edentulous maxilla rehabilitation with removable prostheses supported by the Ankylos SynCone (Dentsply-Friade...

PURPOSE Loss of alveolar bone in the anterior maxilla may preclude implant placement or compromise positioning and thus diminish the final esthetic result of the restoration. Bone augmentation can overcome such difficulties but may affect osseointegration. The aim of this study was to report the outcome of buccal onlay bone grafting in the anterior maxilla in routine dental implant practice. ...

introduction : supplementation with minerals like calcium has been shown to be effective in preventing bone loss and increasing bone density. thus, it can be assumed that if calcium supplementation is paired with bisphosphonates, greater benefit can be achieved. in this context, we decided to perform this animal study on ovariectomized rats to assess whether bisphosphonate supplemented with cal...
