The aims of this study were to evaluate bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and the osteoconductive capacity bioactive fiber-reinforced composite implant (FRC) in vivo.Threaded sand-blasted FRC implants threaded with glass (BAG) fabricated for study. Titanium used as a reference. Eighteen (diameter 4.1 mm, length 10 mm) implanted tibia six pigs using press-fit technique. animals sacrificed after 4 12 weeks. Histomorphometric scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analyses performed characterize...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone tissue response strontium- and silicon-substituted apatite (Sr-HA Si-HA) modified titanium (Ti) implants. Sr-HA, Si-HA HA were grown on thermally oxidized Ti implants by a biomimetic process. Oxidized used as controls. Surface properties, i.e. chemical composition, surface thickness, morphology/pore characteristics, crystal structure roughness, characterized with various analytical techniques. inserted in rat tibiae block biopsies prepared for...
Prosthodontic rehabilitation of a congenital or acquired defect the ear is considered challenging and skill-dependent procedure. This technical report describes novel approach for direct digital scanning unaffected contralateral using an intraoral scanner external markers. The obtained data was exported, digitally mirrored, successfully positioned to virtual model human head with missing ear. technique demonstrates potential application CAD/CAM in design fabrication auricular prosthesis...
This study analyzed stress and strain mediated by 2 different implant materials, titanium (Ti) experimental fiber-reinforced composite (FRC), on the bone tissue surrounding implant. Three-dimensional finite element models constructed from a mandibular an were subjected to load of 50 N in vertical horizontal directions. Postprocessing files allowed calculation within materials stresses at bone-to-implant interface (stress path). Maximum concentrations located around rim cortical both...
The aim of this study was to assess the esthetic outcome maxillary anterior single implants by comparing perception dental professionals and patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS.Twentythree patients with in zone were enrolled study.Dentists four different specialties (Three orthodontists, three oral surgeons, prosthodontists, periodontists) evaluated pink score (PES)/white (WES) for 23 implant-supported restorations.The satisfactions on treatment have been according visual analog scale...
The aim of this study was to investigate bone response bioactive fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) implants under two polymerization conditions. Glass-fiber-dimethacrylate tested as prepolymerized cylinder-shaped FRC and cylindrical polymerized in situ with blue light transmitted scattered by the glass fibers. Ten (6 4 situ-polymerized implants) were placed right tibias 3 pigs means a press-fit technique. After 12 weeks, microscopy revealed only mild foreign-body reaction, no accumulation...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between coating thickness and crystal structure physical‐vapour‐deposited ( PVD ) titanium dioxide coatings, evaluate their in vivo biocompatibility. Materials methods TiO 2 coatings different were deposited on machined grade screw‐shaped implants. Non‐coated implants used as controls. Coating properties such thickness, structure, morphology roughness characterized. Forty‐eight placed randomly into both tibias 16...
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the design fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) on some mechanical properties a dental implant. Methods and Materials FRC implants were fabricated using different polymerization conditions designs glass-fiber structure. Specimens tested with cantilever bending test torsional test. degree monomer conversion (DC%) measured Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results Statistical analysis showed significant differences between groups...
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of implant design and bioactive glass ( BAG ) coating on response bone fiber‐reinforced composite FRC implants. Three different types were manufactured for study: non‐threaded implants with a coating; threaded grit‐blasted surface. Thirty‐six (six each group per time point) installed in tibiae six pigs. After an implantation period 4 12 wk, retrieved prepared micro‐computed tomography (micro‐ CT ), push‐out testing, scanning electron microscopy...
Abstract A prosthetically‐driven virtual implant plan is considered a challenging procedure depending on accurate registration of the three‐dimensional optical surface scan and 3D volumetric rendering reconstructed from cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. However, presence preexisting metal restorations may significantly negatively influence process. This technical report describes novel digital workflow to optimize planning outcome for partially edentulous patient with by...
