OBJECTIVE Clinical follow-up of implant survival in 11 patients comparing two different methods for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) isolation (Ficoll and bone marrow aspirate concentrate [BMAC]) applied in maxillary sinus augmentation. METHODS Mononuclear cells, including MSCs, were concentrated with either Ficoll (control group, n=6 sinus) or BMAC (test group, n=12 sinus) and transplanted in com...

PURPOSE The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the cumulative survival rate of tapered implant with a sandblasted and acid-etched surface placed in edentulous patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed by evaluating MIS seven implants consecutively placed from December 2004 to January 2008. Patient records were reviewed to determine gender, age at implant...

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...

Implant therapy in the atrophic posterior maxilla becomes challenging in the presence of reduced maxillary bone height. Sinus augmentation can be performed for resolving this condition prior to implant placement. The aim of this article was therefore to evaluate implant survival rates in the grafted sinus taking into account the influence of the implant surface, graft material, and implant plac...

The tasks of Working Groups 1 to 6 at the 4th Consensus Meeting Oral Reconstruction Foundation were elucidate clinical recommendations for implant-supported full-arch rehabilitations in edentulous patients. Six systematic/narrative reviews prepared address following subtopics: (1) influence medical and geriatric factors on implant survival; (2) prevalence peri-implant diseases; (3) material sel...

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...

PURPOSE To evaluate preliminary data on clinical outcomes associated with timing of placement of single implant-supported provisional crowns and implants in augmented bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients underwent sinus elevation bone grafting followed by a 6-month healing period before implant placement and immediate placement of a provisional crown (group [G] 1); 20 patients received...

This study aimed to evaluate dental implant outcomes and to identify risk factors associated with implant failure over 12 years via dental records of patients attending an educational institution. Dental records of 202 patients receiving 774 dental implants from 2002 to 2014 were analyzed by adopting a more reliable statistical method to evaluate risk factors with patients as the unit [generali...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The distal offset placement of a single implant to replace a single tooth would overcome the shortcomings of the placement of a single wide implant in the posterior region. However, long-term evaluation is still-lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients treated with a single tooth restoration supported by a distal-offset...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this systematic review was to assess and compare the 5- and 10-year survival of different types of tooth-supported and implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (FDPs) and single crowns (SCs) and to describe the incidence of biological and technical complications. METHODS Three electronic searches complemented by manual searching were conducted to identify prospect...
