PURPOSE To assess the clinical outcomes of replaced implants after removal of failed ones. In addition, associated risk factors that might affect the final outcome of these procedures were also explored. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic literature search was conducted by two reviewers in several databases for articles written in English up to November 2014. Human clinical trials with a min...

This study's objective was to identify, in a statistically valid and efficient manner, the risk factors associated with dental implant failure. We hypothesize that factors exist which can be modified by clinicians to enhance outcome. A retrospective cohort study design was used. Cohort members had >or= one implant placed. Risk factors were classified as demographic, health status, implant-, ana...

OBJECTIVE To compare implant stability, survival, and soft tissue reactions for a novel (test) and previous generation (control) percutaneous auditory osseointegrated implant for bone conduction hearing at long-term follow-up of 5 years. STUDY DESIGN Single follow-up visit of a previously completed multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. PATIENTS Fifty-seven of the 77 participants of a c...

This clinical study assessed at 5 years both implant survival and peri-implant tissue architecture of immediately provisionalized implants placed 4 to 6 months following augmentation with demineralized bovine bone allograft and collagen membrane. Of 23 implants in 19 patients, one implant failed prior to loading (95.6% survival). Implant tissue relationships were stable following implant placem...

objective: whilst many questions and doubts still remain, today the use of dental im-plants has gained an increasing popularity amongst patients as well as dentists. the aim of this study is to analyze the survival rate in using such implants over a 10 year period. materials and methods: in this study, 3050 iti implants placed in 1000 patients with the mean age of 49.5 years (54.4% males and 44...

PURPOSE The aim of this review was to analyze the evaluation criteria on mandibular implant overdentures through a systematic review and suggest standardized evaluation criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted by PubMed search strategy and hand-searching of relevant journals from included studies considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomized clin...

OBJECTIVE To assess implant survival rates and peri-implant bone loss of 2 titanium-zirconium implants supporting maxillary overdentures at 1 year of loading. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty maxillary edentulous patients (5 women and 15 men) being dissatisfied with their complete dentures were included. In total, 40 diameter-reduced titanium-zirconium implants were placed in the anterior maxilla....

PURPOSE The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the cumulative success rate, the implant survival rate, and the occurrence of biological complications in implants supporting full-arch immediately loaded rehabilitations supported by upright and tilted implants. METHODS The clinical records and periapical radiographs of patients who attended follow-up visits were collected, and i...
