PURPOSE The aims of the present study were to use polysomnographic analysis to confirm sleep bruxism (SB) and to evaluate clinical findings of dental implant treatment in SB patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study comprised the retrospective analysis of 368 patients with a total of 838 endosseous implants. Nineteen patients who experienced mechanical complications, such as implant o...

Endosseous oral implant is applied for orthodontic anchorage in subjects with multiple tooth agenesis. Its effectiveness under orthodontic loading has been demonstrated clinically and experimentally. This study investigates the deformation and stress on the bone and implant for different bite forces by three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) methods. A numerical simulation of deformation and...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to assess the osseointegration of different dental implants surfaces in diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, were used 56 male Wistar rats, average weight of 300-350 g. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of Streptozotocin. The glucose levels and weight of rats were periodically evaluated. After the diabetes mellitus ...

PURPOSE To retrospectively analyze the survival rate of endosseous dental implants placed in the edentulous or partially edentulous mandible over a long-term follow-up period of 10 years or more. MATERIALS AND METHODS The charts of patients who underwent mandibular implant placement at a private prosthodontics practice and received follow-up care for 10 years or more were included in this stu...

Design of new root-form endosseous dental implant and evaluation of fatigue strength using finite element analysis. thoughtful academic advice as a committee member for the thesis. I am as ever, especially indebted to my parents, Seog-soo Han and Jeong-soon Lee for their love and support throughout my life. Nothing I can say can do justice to how I feel about their support. My parents have prov...

A case is presented in which bilateral fractures of the mandible occurred following placement of endosseous dental implants. The management, with approximately 7 years of follow-up, is described and the potential causes of such fractures and their treatment are discussed.

the effect of inter-implant distance on retention and resistance of implant-tissue-supported overdentures is lacking in the literature. an in vitro study was performed to evaluate this effect for mandibular implant-tissue-supported overdentures retained by two ball attachments.an acrylic cast of an edentulous mandible was fabricated. three pairs of implants were symmetrically placed at both sid...

The ectodermal dysplasias represent a group of inherited disorders characterized by defects in tissues that are derived from ectoderm. Freire-Maia and Pinheiro describe more than 100 different taxonomic groupings of ectodermal dysplasia across a wide spectrum of clinical presentation. The classic form of ectodermal dysplasia (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) is thought to be X-linked and invol...
