background and aims . peri-implantitis is a chronic progressive marginal infection which is defined as an inflammato-ry reaction affecting the tissues surrounding osseointegrated dental implants resulting in loss of supporting bone. microflora of patients with implants who are edentulous mainly consists of gram positive facultative cocci and non motile rods. pre-dominantly, streptococcus sangui...

discussion this segmental ridge-split procedure with gradual bone expansion provides a quicker method wherein an atrophic ridge can be predictably expanded and eliminating the need for a second surgical site. this technique also shows that immediate implantation in split ridge of mandible can be performed. introduction narrow alveolar ridges especially in posterior mandibular remains a serious ...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of systemically transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the peri-implant epithelial sealing around dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of donor rats and expanded in culture. After recipient rats received experimental titanium dental implants in the bone sockets after extraction of...

Biomaterial-implants are frequently used to restore function and form of human anatomy. However, the presence of implanted biomaterials dramatically elevates infection risk. Paradoxically, dental-implants placed in a bacteria-laden milieu experience moderate failure-rates, due to infection (0.0-1.1%), similar to the ones of joint-arthroplasties placed in a near-sterile environment (0.1-1.3%). T...

Dental implant education is increasingly becoming part of predoctoral dental curricula. New York University College of Dentistry has developed a pilot dental implant program that trains students in implant restorations for single-tooth restorations and mandibular overdentures. Fourth-year students have the option of applying for an implant honors program, which can include surgically placing po...

Purpose: of this paper is present a new approach to modelling and design the low cost mono-block dental implants based on the integration of the computer aided techniques. This approach provides the automation of the design process of the mono-block dental implants. Design/methodology/approach: The approach used to develop the modelling and design of the mono-block dental implants are based on ...

Dental implants have reported success rates of over 90 % over long periods of time. However failures still occur and seem to be unpredictable. One factor that is being increasingly considered in failure of dental implants is occlusal loading. The aim of this article is to review literature related to loading and overloading implants through masticatory and parafunctional activity, in order to a...

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the parameters of dental implants such as patient gender, number of implant, failed implant before prosthetic restorations and failed implant after implantation and failed implant after prosthetic restorations. 135 male and 99 female patients, total 234 implant patients which have been treated with 450 implant between 20052009 years in GATA Ha...

Hundreds of thousands of implantations are performed each year in dental clinical practice. Dental implants are a small fraction of the total number of synthetic materials implanted into the human body in all fields of medicine. Basically, these millions of implants going into humans function adequately. But longevity and complications still are significant issues and provide opportunities for ...
