The aim of this prospective case series study was to evaluate the short-term success rates of titanium screw-type implants with a chemically modified sand-blasted and acid-etched (mod SLA) surface after 3 weeks of healing.
-
Clinical studies show promising outcomes with implants inserted at the time of extraction. However, this often results in an initial bone defect at the marginal region which preferably should heal for an optimal function. Therefore, monitoring of these implants is vital.
-
The purpose of the present investigation was to clinically assess and compare crestal bone changes, over a 5-year period, around external-hexagon wide-diameter implants restored with either matching wide-diameter prosthetic components or with platform-switched prosthetic components.
-
This report demonstrated the successful clinical use of a modified root-analogue zirconia dental implants for immediate single tooth replacement.
-
One-visit in-office CAD/CAM fabrication of esthetic ceramic crowns as a superstructure for posterior dental implants is quite new. The aim of the study was to evaluate the strength of esthetic ceramic CAD/CAM crowns with varied occlusal thickness and seated with adhesive and nonadhesive cements on titanium and zirconia abutments.
-
Increase of soft tissue attachment is a major concern for improving the design of novel dental implants. This study evaluated the use of mesh structures placed on the implant surface for the anchorage of fibrous tissues.
-
The purpose of this study was to compare differences in the healing process among autogenous bone and xenogeneic bone mixture groups.It was concluded that good bone healing was achieved even for grafts of xenogeneic bone only or synthetic only.
-
This case, which is part of a larger ongoing clinical trial, demonstrates that immediate placement of significantly modified, root-analogue, non-submerged
zirconia implants yields excellent results superior to previously described custom made root-analogue titanium implants with a uniform surface.
-
The purpose of this study was to review clinical studies on the incidence of abutment screw loosening in single dental implant restorations with different implant-abutment connection geometries.
-
This study concluded that the use of piezoelectric osteotomy in alveolar distraction appears to simplify surgery for dental implants, and reduce the incidence of intraoperative complications.
