Use of compatible abutments may increase micromovements between the abutments, and inner part implant stress on marginal bone level. Also micromovement will change volume space implant-abutment complex. The resulting pumping effect can transport even initially immobile microorganisms from exterior to interior vice versa.The purpose study was evaluate mechanical comportment OsseoSpeed™ Tx implants connected with original in vitro under simulated clinical loading conditions.A total 15 TX (4 ×...
Primary stability is evaluated using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and insertion torque (IT). Although there a strong correlation between RFA IT, studies failed to find bone implant contact (BIC) or IT BIC.To compare RFA, BIC of SLA, SLActive, Euroteknika, TiUnite surfaces evaluate the them.Thirty-two implants were placed in 8 sheep. recorded. Animals killed at 1 2 months.A significant difference was found 4 surfaces. No for IT. Mean different all A positive with SLA. months.Implants...
To compare prospectively the effect of different insertion torques (ITs) on marginal bone stability and study soft-tissue buccal thickness as confounding factors while using a 3-dimensional radiographic evaluation.Thirty-nine implants were placed in 22 patients. IT, thickness, recorded at implant placement. Marginal loss was evaluated individualized periapical radiographs cone-beam computed tomography 1 year after loading.Three groups emerged based their IT: group I (<30 Ncm), II (between...
The aim of this randomized control trial was to compare the analgesic efficacy two commonly prescribed medications, mefenamic acid (Ponstan™ Forte) and lysine clonixinate (Dorixina®) in patients undergoing dental implant surgery. A total 130 receiving implants were into groups: 75 treated with Mefenamic Acid (MA) Lysine Clonixinate (LC). primary outcome change pain scores according a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) recorded by on questionnaire over 7 days post-operatively. Secondary consumption...
Orthodontic treatment aims to realign teeth in a functional and esthetic manner. When applied on an unhealthy periodontium, this may lead advanced periodontal tissue breakdown. The present 12-year follow-up report describes the multidisciplinary management of severe, iatrogenic, generalized periodontitis case that was caused/aggravated by orthodontic therapy tissues. Prompt through nonsurgical surgical approaches, including soft hard grafting procedures combined with corrective healthy This...
Altered passive eruption is described as a condition in which the relationship between teeth, alveolar bone and soft tissues creates an excessive gingival display and, turn, some circumstances, it may reveal clinical aspect known gummy smile. A 29-year-old male patient presented to dental clinic Beirut, Lebanon, complaining about short looking teeth while smiling. Before choosing adequate treatment starting our procedure, periodontal esthetic factors were analyzed. The was diagnosed with...
Aim The present article reports clinical, radiographic, and histological healing of a case alveolar ridge preservation treated with cortical bone allograft bioabsorbable collagen wound dressing membrane for the reconstruction damaged extraction socket buccal dehiscence. Case report In reported, technique was applied in an site dehiscence type defect, using substitute followed by successful implant placement at later stage. Conclusion This showed that dehiscence, freeze dried covered fast...
Aim To overcome vertical deficiency of atrophic posterior maxilla, sinus floor elevation has been used for several decades either through a transcrestal or lateral approach. In 1999, Fugazzotto et al. described modified trephine/osteotome technique augmentation at the time maxillary molar extraction without implant placement. A trephine was to create bone core in middle site and gently malleted apically. 2002, same principle place dental implants healed molars sites with limited residual...
