Background/Aim: Dental implants are a reliable treatment choice for rehabilitation of healthy patients as well as subjects with several systemic conditions. Patients with oral mucosal diseases often exhibit oral mucosal fragility and dryness, erosions, blisters, ulcers or microstomia that complicate the use of removable dentures and emphasize the need for dental implants. The aim of the current...

ARTICLE INFO Dental implants constitute a well-established approach for substitute of lost teeth with titanium being the most preferential material for implantation. However, titanium has its confines in esthetically demanding cases and neither the form nor material of such implants has changed much over the past 40 years. Immediate implantation is used to overcome the disadvantages of conventi...

INTRODUCTION Osseointegration of dental implants with the maxillary and/or mandibular bone is the basis for implant prosthetic treatment. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of the patients' gender, age, and in the case of women, their menopausal status (before menopause/after menopause/during hormone replacement therapy) on the osseointegration of dental implants. MATERIAL AND M...

Two cases of osteoma arising in the maxillary sinus are reported. Both of the tumors were found incidentally during the evaluation of unrelated diseases. In a 55-year-old female patient, a bone tumor was found on CT, which was taken to rule out paranasal sinusitis. CT showed a pedunculated tumor arising from the inferomedial angle of the maxillary sinus. It was resected intramurally through the...

Dental implants were initiated in 1922 by Branemark, who and associates described the relationship between titanium implant and bone which termed osteointegration, defined as the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of an implant (Albrektsson et al., 1981). Immediate implant placement, defined as the placement of dental implant immediately into fresh e...

Using the finite element procedure, the insertion process of a dental implant into a section of the mandible is analysed. Elevated stress concentrations in both cancellous and cortical bone are examined during implantation. An implant of length 11mm is inserted at 1mm increments into the mandible. The torque applied to the implant top ranges from 0 to 450Nmm for a total time period of 36 second...

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the parameters of dental implants such as patient gender, number of implant, failed implant before prosthetic restorations and failed implant after implantation and failed implant after prosthetic restorations. 135 male and 99 female patients, total 234 implant patients which have been treated with 450 implant between 20052009 years in GATA Ha...

A case, in a 66 year old man, of a florid granulomatous reaction to gold dental alloy presenting about 20 years after accidental implantation in the oral mucosa of the lip is reported. Subsequent energy dispersive analysis confirmed the presence of a high nobility gold dental alloy. Florid granulomatosis has only rarely been reported in association with gold. Possible explanations for the delay...

In this study, patients wearing dental prostheses after implantation were constantly observed for their masticatory function to measure the amount of marginal bone loss obtained 1 and2 years mounting clinically, investigate relationship between occurring a year and gender, age, scaling, use results as reference performing determining prognosis.

The immediate insertion and loading of dental implants although used in the past as an alternative method for the surgical phase of the dental implant treatment is today becoming more and more popular due to its immediate and spectacular results. With information on bone density and a careful patient selection, this method has increased chances of success. Its main advantage is the high degree ...
