The use of metals and their alloys in restorative and implant dentistry dates back to centuries. Titanium (Ti) is one of the most widely used biomaterial for medical implants because of its excellent mechanical properties and exceptional biocompatibility. The good biocompatibility of Ti is related to the thin oxide layer formed on Ti surface. TiO2 is inactive with the surrounding biological env...

Soft tissue integration to dental implants Maria Welander Department of Periodontology, Institute of Odontology The Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg, Box 450, 405 30 Göteborg, Sweden. Soft tissue integration is a prerequisite for implant success. The role of the soft tissue barrier at implants is to provide an effective seal that protects the underlying bone and prevents access f...

The aim of this study is to synthesize a new metallic aluminum and vanadium-free titanium alloy biomaterial for better osseointegration implantation in the physiological system. vitro vivo methods were used examine their biological compatibility, evaluated quantitatively qualitatively. Results Ga-Si-Ti showed higher ultimate tensile strength, yield strength percentage elongation more or less eq...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed at a histologic and histomorphometric analysis of the periimplant tissues and bone-titanium interface reactions in successfully osseointegrated, clinically stable, and immobile human titanium dental implants retrieved after a long loading period. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the last 30 months (2013-2015), 21 implants, retrieved from individuals for different causes aft...

In the last 4 decades, the developments of osseointegrated titanium implants have led to the success of contemporary dentistry. Endosseous implant-supported restorations delivered in accordance with the traditional Branemark protocol have proven to be highly predictable. Today, implants are becoming increasingly common in dental care and provide more therapeutic options, but treatment planning ...

Dental implants are now considered as a predictable treatment modality for the oral rehabilitation of partially or fully edentulous patients. Recently emphasis has changed towards achieving a predictable esthetic success. Creating aesthetically successful implant-supported restoration in the anterior region of oral cavity depends on the presence of interimplant papilla when multiple implants ar...
