PURPOSE To investigate the clinical usefulness, a customized abutment produced with the Pd-Ag-In alloy was compared with a customized abutment produced with the conventional titanium alloy for discoloration and mechanical accuracy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Discoloration and resistance to corrosion of the Pd-Ag-In alloy were evaluated using chemical solutions. Marginal adaptation of internal-type...

Dental implants have become the preferred treatment option for missing teeth replacement due to their functional and restorative benefits. However, placing in esthetic zone remains a challenge anatomical factors need optimal emergence profile. The use of custom abutments regenerative techniques this case report resulted successful implant-supported restoration with excellent aesthetic outcomes....

AIM To elucidate the influence of initial soft tissue thickness on peri-implant bone remodeling. The research hypothesis was that implants installed in patients or at sites with thin mucosal tissues would show increased peri-implant bone loss. MATERIAL AND METHODS 79 edentulous patients were consecutively treated with two non-splinted implants supporting an overdenture in the mandible. During...

Abstract This clinical report presents a case of abutment fracture, due to occlusal overload, occurred with an implant-supported restoration on right mandibular first molar of a female patient. After 6 months of prosthetic reconstruction implants, the patient returned to the clinic due to the loss of implant crown. The fractured fragment of the abutment with the screw protec...

INTRODUCTION The maxillomandibular relationship (MMR) record is a critical step to establish the new occlusion in implant supported complete mouth rehabilitation. Using patients existing denture for recording the MMR requires implant definitive cast to be modified extensively to completely seat the denture (with unaltered flanges) on it. This may influence the correct seating of the denture on ...

The fit of the implant-abutment interface was assessed by the metallographic technique and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), using solid abutment types at different torque levels. Forty Morse taper connections and forty solid abutments were used at different torque levels (repeated after 10 minutes) in the following groups (n = 10): 25 Ncm (group g1), 30 Ncm (group g2), 35 Ncm (group g3), ...

The aim of the present study was to report a modified protocol for immediate implant-supported full-arch rehabilitation on three interforaminal implants and two implants placed in the posterior mandible, one on each side. This article describes a treatment protocol that can be used to reduce the time required for the fabrication and placement of an implant-supported prosthesis. It is described ...

Abstract Introduction: Prosthetic restorations in the frontal teeth, addition to functional and prophylactic requirements, must respond a special way aesthetic needs. This desideratum is challenge, especially when support for future prosthetic parts not characterized by uniformity of color. paper wants highlight importance color abutments, case single restorations, teeth. Case presentation: man...
