ABSTRACT Background: Conventional implant protocols advocate a two‐stage technique with load‐free, submerged healing period. Recent studies suggest that immediate restoration of single implants may be viable treatment option. Purpose: The purpose this study was to evaluate prosthodontic and aesthetic peri‐implant mucosal outcomes immediately restored, Southern single‐tapered in the anterior maxilla after 1 year. Materials Methods: Participants (mean age: 43.25 years; range: 23–71 years)...
Abstract Well‐ordered TiO 2 nanotubes were prepared by the electrochemical anodization of titanium in an ethylene glycol electrolyte containing 1 wt% NH 4 F and 10 H O at 20 V for min, followed annealing. The surface morphology crystal structure samples examined as a function annealing temperature field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM) X‐ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Crystallization to anatase phase occurred 450 °C, while rutile formation was observed 600 °C....
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to assess 1‐year clinical success one‐piece zirconia implants compared with similar‐design titanium implants, in the context a novel protocol for implant distribution. Materials and Methods Twenty‐four edentulous participants were randomly allocated or group. Each participant received four maxilla (mid‐palatal three anterior crestal implants) mandible (mid‐symphyseal two bilateral distal implants). Conventional loading followed. Marginal...
The aim of this study was to compare the success rates after 1 and 2 years conventionally early loaded pairs unsplinted ITI implants supporting mandibular overdentures in edentulous patients. Twenty-four participants (age range 55-80 years) were randomly allocated with maximum concealment two treatment groups. In first group, allowed heal for 12 weeks before being functionally (control) second group had 6 healing identical loading. All new conventional complete maxillary dentures prior...
The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to assess clinical, radiographic and patient reported outcomes narrow versus standard diameter titanium zirconium (TiZr) implants supporting single crown restorations in posterior sites with limited bone width. Participants requiring replacement missing teeth implant-supported crowns were randomly allocated into 2 treatment groups: (3.3 mm) or (4.1 implant. All restored screw-retained monolithic zirconia crowns. changes marginal level (MBL)...
ABSTRACT Bone loss resulting in large bony defects presents a significant challenge for surgeons. In cases requiring reconstruction, bone “block” grafts that have the key attributes of both physical robustness and biocompatibility are required to facilitate healing regeneration. Current technologies employed development block often result constructs with suboptimal strength integration. This study aimed develop bovine‐derived graft using process supercritical fluid (SCF) extraction maintain...
Abstract Background In the replacement of missing teeth, a paradigm shift is currently observed with immediate implant placement and/or restoration, particularly in aesthetic zone. molar sites, however, anatomical, occlusal and biomechanical considerations remain deterrent factors influencing outcome this treatment paradigm. The aim report was to evaluate restoration strongly tapered wide‐diameter fresh mandibular extraction sockets. Methods Twenty‐four 8‐ or 9‐mm diameter implants were...
Abstract Background Further validation of the risk indicators / predictors for peri‐implant diseases is required to allow clinicians and patients make informed decisions optimize dental implant treatment outcomes. The aim this study was build prediction models, using Chi‐square automatic interaction detection (CHAID) analysis, determine which systemic‐, patient‐, implant‐, site‐, surgical‐ prostheses‐related had more impact on onset diseases. Methods A retrospective analysis 200 who received...
Abstract Objectives Two fractured one‐piece experimental (commercially unavailable) zirconia implants were analyzed using scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) analysis to identify failure origins and aid in understanding the mechanisms. Modifications implant design are suggested minimize such fracture incidences. Materials methods during final torquing maxillary ridge prescribed hand torque wrench. The subsequently retrieved prepared for optical evaluation. Critical attention was given...
Abstract Background Titanium (Ti) implants have been used in the last four decades to replace missing teeth. Alternatives Ti such as zirconia (Zr) may offer aesthetic advantages and be more acceptable patients clinicians concerned about allergy but must show equivalent biological acceptability Ti. Purpose The research aimed investigate soft hard tissue response Zr edentulous patients. Materials Methods included 24 participants ( T i = 12, Z r 12) restored with one‐piece ball‐abutment support...
