Background and objectives. Immediate implant placement can be considered a predictable protocol, even in esthetic areas. The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and the total costs of immediate and delayed restoration of implants with a specific design placed into fresh extraction sockets after 1 year from the implant placement. Materials and Methods. Blossom implants (...

The biological interaction between the jaw bones and dental implant is fundamental for the long-term success of dental implant placement. Nevertheless, the insufficient bone volume remains a major clinical problem, especially in case of immediate dental implant. Using a canine model, the present study proves the regenerative potential of adipose- derived stem cells (ADSCs) to repair peri-implan...

The purpose of the present study, which used anorganic bovine bone (Bio-Oss) with and without autogenous bone as the augmentation material, was to compare the results of sinus elevation performed without a membrane (control) with the results of sinus elevation performed with either a short-term bioabsorbable membrane (Bio-Gide) or a nonabsorbable membrane (Gore-Tex) with regard to both vital bo...

PURPOSE Prevention of peri-implant bone loss is essential for achieving long-term implant success, but few studies have evaluated the impact of placement depth on long-term bone loss. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate outcomes for platform-shifted implants placed at different depths relative to the bone crest. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mesial and distal shoulders of 228 dela...

The purpose of this study was to objectively evaluate the stability of dental implants by use of resonance frequency analysis (RFA). In this study, 60 Nobel Replace Tapered Groovy implants were placed in the premolar region of the maxilla in 60 patients. Thirty implants were placed immediately after tooth extraction and 30 implants were placed in healed bone sites. Implant stability quotient (I...

A 60-year-old man with missing maxillary molar teeth received dental implant therapy for reconstruction of occlusion. Sinus floor elevation with autogenous bone graft consisting of iliac bone block and particulate cancellous bone and marrow (PCBM) was performed in the bilateral maxillary sinuses for implant placement. On the right side, bone height in the molar region was less than 2mm. Therefo...

INTRODUCTION Ever since its introduction in 1977, a minimum of few months of period is required for osseointegration to take place after dental implant surgery. With the passage of time and advancements in the fields of dental implant, this healing period is getting smaller and smaller. Immediate loading of dental implants is becoming a very popular procedure in the recent time. Hence, we retro...

statement of the problem in recent decades, immediate implant placement has been proposed to eliminate undesirable consequences of conventional methods of delayed placement. in addition, because of the nature of this treatment method, a higher risk of complications such as infection and also higher failures rates may be expected purpose the aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of ...

The use of mini-implants have made a major contribution to orthodontic treatment. Demand has aroused scientific curiosity about implant placement procedures and techniques. However, the reasons for instability have not yet been made totally clear. The aim of this article is to establish a relationship between implant placement technique and mini-implant success rates by means of examining the f...
