Introduction: To achieve the best esthetic and functional results of implantation and patient satisfaction, different protocols of implant therapy have been recommended. Immediate implantation can provide the outcome faster than other protocols making it the treatment of choice. The rate of peri-implant bone resorption should be measured clinically and radiographically as bone support is a key ...

the anterior maxilla presents a challenging milieu interior for ideal placement of implants because of the compromised bone quality. with the advent of intraoral bone harvesting and augmentation techniques, immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sockets have become more predictable. immediate implant placement has numerous advantages compared to the delayed procedure including superi...

 longevity of osseointegrated implants are intensely influenced by biomechanical factors. Control of these factors prevents mechanical complications, which include fracture of screws, components, or materials veneering the framework. In this study, the impact of length and threads pitch of dental implants on the stress distribution and maximum Von Mises stress in implant-abutment complex and ja...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of digital panoramic radiography in estimating the crestal width of implant fixtures after surgery. Materials and Methods:We selected 241 digital panoramic images after implant insertion which had documented information of their actual size. The crestal width was measured on radiographs. We compared two measuring methods in diff...

abstract   introduction: hearing impairment affects all aspect of individual life, especially auditory perception, while use of cochlear implant or hearing aids has been associated with appropriate effects in auditory performance. the aim of the present research was to comparing auditory perception in children with cochlear implant, hearing aids and normal hearing in tehran province. materials ...

objectives : anterior maxilla, known as the esthetic zone, plays an important role in facial and smile esthetics. this study assessed the frequency of implant treatments in the esthetic zone of patients presenting to dental implant department of tehran university during 2002-2012. materials and methods: this descriptive study was conducted on dental records of patients receiving implant treatme...

statement of problem: the replacement of missing teeth with implant-associated restorations has become a widely used treatment modality in recent years. the length of dental implants may be a critical factor in achieving and maintaining osseointegration. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate and bone loss of dental implants with different lengths materials and methods...

objective: at present, treatment of edentulous areas with implant-supported prosthesis has greatly increased. the aim of this study was to assess the survival rate of implants with different diameters. methods: this retrospective study was conducted on 239 warfare victims presenting to qazi tabatabaie clinic during 2000-2010. a total of 1,649 implants were placed. the success criteria included ...

objective: predoctoral dental implant education is included in dental school teaching curricula in most of the developed and some developing countries; however, it was not introduced into undergraduate curriculum of some countries and iranian dental schools. our purpose was to investigate the status of the predoctoral dental implant education of dental schools in the world. materials and method...

background and aims: plasma rich in growth factors (prgfs) has been recently proposed as an aid to enhance regeneration of osseous and epithelial tissues in oral surgery. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of local application of platelet rich plasma (prp) on implant stability measured by periotest. materials and methods: a total of 24 implants were placed in mandible of 12 l...
