PURPOSE The aim of this review was to evaluate the clinical outcomes for the different time points of implant placement following tooth extraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PubMed search and a hand search of selected journals were performed to identify clinical studies published in English that reported on outcomes of implants in postextraction sites. Only studies that included 10 or more pati...

INTRODUCTION Despite the high success rates of endosseous oral implants, restrictions have been advocated to their placement with regard to the bone available in height and volume. The use of short or nonstandard-diameter implants could be one way to overcome this limitation. MATERIAL AND METHODS In order to explore the relationship between implant survival rates and their length and diameter...

PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to evaluate implant survival and success in the elderly population and to assess indicators and risk factors for success or failure of dental implants in older adults (aged 60 years and older). MATERIALS AND METHODS This historical prospective study was developed from a cohort of patients born prior to 1950 who received dental implants in a single pri...

Introduction: The marginal bone change of 1 year loading was evaluated in the non-microthread collar and platform switching structured INNO® dental implant of which the surface is treated with the RBM sandblasting, hyper-thermal acid etching and alkali solution cleaning process for hydrophilic macroand micro-porosity. Material and Methods: A total of 144 implants were placed in the healed ridge...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical survival rate of Astra Tech implants in the maxillary molar region performed with sinus lift and bone graft. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-nine Astra Tech implants (Osseospeed) placed in the maxillary molar region using sinus lift from September 2009 to February 2012 were selected with a minimum follow-up period of 1...

OBJECTIVES In contrast to the excellent long-term outcomes described for implant-supported mandibular overdentures, less favorable long-term survival and success rates have been reported for maxillary implants supporting overdentures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcome of "planned" bar-retained maxillary and mandibular overdentures supported by Morse taper connection im...

BACKGROUND The longitudinal clinical outcomes over decades contribute to know potential factors leading to implant failure or complications and help in the decision of treatment alternatives. METHODS The cases of all patients who received dental implants treated with titanium plasma-sprayed surfaces and whose prostheses were set in the period 1984-1990 at seven private practices were retrospe...

The primary goal of this paper was to determine the survival rate of immediately loaded (IL) dental implants based on a systematic review of the literature. Secondary goals were to determine the influence of several factors on the implant survival rate, such as the type of reconstruction, implant location, and implant surface characteristics. An electronic search of databases was performed, in ...

Background and purpose - According to previous Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA) data, the 10-year implant survival of cemented total hip arthroplasties (THAs) is 94% in patients aged 65-74 and 96% in patients aged 75 or more. Here we report a brand-level comparison of cemented THA based on the NARA database, which has not been done previously. Patients and methods - We determined...
