Although dental implants have been successfully used for the rehabilitation of fully edentulous and partially edentulous patients, patient’s various conditions constrict the application of implant, or make dental treatment using dental implants very complex and difficult. Implantsupported cantilever prostheses represent that conditions. Becker and Kaiser insisted that alignment problems, extens...

BACKGROUND Rough-surface implants have become very popular during the last 10 years due to greater reported bone-implant-contact and bone volume between implant threads compared to machined-surface implants. PURPOSE The aim of this clinical report is to present the 26-year clinical outcomes of machined-surface implants supporting screw-retained fixed dental prostheses in a 77-year-old woman. ...

Alumina- and zirconia-based ceramic dental restorations are designed to repair functionality as well as esthetics of the failed teeth. However, these materials exhibited several performance deficiencies such as fracture, poor esthetic properties of ceramic cores (particularly zirconia cores), and difficulty in accomplishing a strong ceramic-resin-based cement bond. Therefore, improving the mech...

Implant-supported removable dental prostheses may be supported by a variety of splinted (bar and clip) attachment systems or nonsplinted abutment-based attachments (ball, magnets, and resilient stud attachments such as locators [Zest Anchors], ERA [Sterngold], and nonresilient-stud attachments such as ANKYLOS SynCone [Dentsply Implants]). Nonsplinted attachments are preferred as they are more e...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the stress distribution in the bone around zygomatic and dental implants for 3 different implant-retained obturator prostheses designs in a Aramany class IV maxillary defect using 3-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). MATERIAL AND METHODS A 3-dimensional finite element model of an Aramany class IV defect was created. Three diffe...

PURPOSE To review the available literature on the costs and cost-effectiveness of dental implant-supported or -retained prostheses versus tooth-supported fixed partial denture restorations or mucosa-borne conventional complete or partial dentures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature review of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted, restricted to studies pub...
