Background objectives: Implant supported over dentures vastly improve oral functions in patients with reconstructed mandibles. However, the quality of the peri-implant soft tissues is often not optimal. The aim of…
Aim: To evaluate histological and histomorphometric findings of calvarial split bone grafts for alveolar ridge reconstruction in dental implantology. Methods: Alveolar ridge reconstruction was performed using calvarial bone grafts in…
Objectives: Maxillary sinus membrane lifting is a common procedure aimed at increasing the volume of the maxillary sinus osseous floor prior to inserting dental implants. Recently we proved in vitro…
Objectives: Currently, dental implants are an established therapy for oral rehabilitation. Success rates up to 92% after ten years were achieved in healthy bone. However, these success rates decrease in…
During the past years a rapid progress was seen in the field of three-dimensional analysis using the digital volume tomography (DVT) and computer-based planning in dental implant patients. The resulting…
Purpose: Taking into account the increased expectations of our patients regarding immediate postoperative life quality minimally invasive implant insertion is discussed frequently among experts. The major challenge of this technique,…
Background and objectives: A wide variety of procedures such as distraction osteogenesis, bone grafting and sinus floor elevation have been reported to place implants for the atrophic alveolar ridge. However,…
This study aimed to assess the treatment outcome of immediate reconstruction of large osseous defects resulting from removal of a single tooth in the aesthetic zone. All 45 defects had…
Background and objectives: Rehabilitation of atrophic ridge for both surgeon and prosthodontist always being a matter of concern. The aim of this article is to present a new methodology based…
Background and objectives: Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a second generation platelet concentrate widely used to accelerate soft and hard tissue healing and bone regeneration. This study investigated the effects…
Background and objectives: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is as autogenous source of growth factors that stimulates and accelerates bone formation and soft tissue regeneration. Activated platelets in PRF secrete growth factors…
Background and objectives: Root-form endoosseous immediate implants are considered the best teeth replacement alternative as they preserve bone integrity. Sufficient bone at the desired implant location is important factor for…
Objective: The authors present a clinical report of three complex cases with patients with defects in maxilla. One patient with oroantral fistulae promoted by implants and extraoral graft complications. The…
Background: The maxillary sinus augmentation procedure, is an excellent alternative to oral implantology and present a 90% of success level. However, the complications of sinus lift surgery sometimes perform consequences…
The desire for immediate load restoration of dental implants, particularly in the anterior esthetic zone, requires specific implant design strategies to enhance primary stability. In the presence of extraction sites,…
Aim: To introduce a new device and technique to widen a narrow alveolar crest prior to implantation. Materials and methods: A new distractor was used to widen a narrow alveolar…
Purpose: This study used finite element analysis and a clinical case example to support a hypothesis that a wing-thread placed 4 mm below the top of the implant would decrease…
Background and objectives: Retrieval of failed implants is a problematic procedure in the field of implant dentistry. Since the procedures for removal of fixed implants are aggressive or require specific…
Objectives: Dental implant treatment is regarded as a safe technique with high rate of success. However, complications should be taken into consideration, because they can follow dental implant surgery as…
Background and objectives: The feeling of bone quality during drilling procedure is important to predict the prognosis of dental implant. Although we actually use a classification of D1, D2, D3…
