Abstract Objective To evaluate the radiographic changes of alveolar ridge following application different preservation techniques 6 months after tooth extraction. Materials and Methods Four treatment modalities were randomly assigned in 40 patients: β‐tricalcium‐phosphate‐particles with polylactid coating (β‐ TCP ), demineralized bovine bone mineral 10% collagen covered a matrix ( DBBM ‐C/ CM ‐C an autogenous soft‐tissue graft PG ) spontaneous healing (control). Cone‐beam computed tomography...
Abstract Aim The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate long‐term outcome implants placed simultaneously with guided bone regeneration ( GBR ) using resorbable and non‐resorbable membranes. Materials methods original population consisted 72 patients receiving a total 265 implants. In all ‐treated sites, demineralized bovine mineral DBBM used in combination either collagen CM or an Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e‐ PTFE membrane. A 112 treated , 41 were e‐ membranes, served...
The transition from a tooth requiring extraction to its replacement (with dental implant) requires series of clinical decisions related timing, approach, materials, cost-effectiveness and the assessment potential harm patient preference. This workshop focused on formulation evidence-based consensus statements recommendations.Four systematic reviews covering areas alveolar ridge preservation/bone grafting, immediate early delayed implant placement bone augmentation at time in healed formed...
The aim of Working Group 1 was to address the influence different local (implant length, diameter, and design) systemic (medications) factors on clinical, radiographic, patient-reported outcomes in implant dentistry. Focused questions (a) short posterior dental implants (≤6 mm), (b) narrow diameter implants, (c) design (tapered compared a non-tapered design), (d) medication-related failures were addressed.Four systematic reviews prepared advance Consensus Conference discussed among...
Abstract Aim Lack of consistently reported outcomes limits progress in evidence‐based implant dentistry and quality care. The objective this initiative was to develop a core outcome set (COS) measurements for clinical trials (ID‐COSM). Materials Methods This Core Outcome Measures Effectiveness Trials (COMET)‐registered international comprised six steps over 24 months: (i) systematic reviews the last 10 years; (ii) patient focus groups; (iii) Delphi project with broad range stakeholders (care...
Abstract: The aim of the present clinical study was to test whether or not addition recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (rhBMP‐2) a xenogenic substitute mineral (Bio‐Oss ® ) will improve guided regeneration therapy regarding volume, density and maturation. In 11 partially edentulous patients, 34 Brånemark implants were placed at two different sites in same jaw (five maxillae, six mandibles) requiring lateral ridge augmentation. defects randomly assigned control treatments: both...
Abstract Objectives: The aim was to test whether or not zirconia abutments exhibit the same survival and technical/biological outcome as titanium abutments. Material methods: Twenty‐two patients receiving 40 single‐tooth implants in canine posterior regions were included. implant sites randomly assigned 20 All‐ceramic metal–ceramic crowns fabricated. At baseline, 6, 12 36 months, reconstructions examined for technical biological problems. Probing pocket depth (PPD), plaque control record...
Abstract Objective: Lateral ridge augmentations are traditionally performed using autogenous bone grafts to support membranes for guided regeneration (GBR). The bone‐harvesting procedure, however, is accompanied by considerable patient morbidity. Aim: aim of the present study was test whether or not resorbable and substitutes will lead successful horizontal augmentation allowing implant installation under standard conditions. Material methods: Twelve patients in need therapy participated...
Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to test whether or not customized zirconia abutments exhibit the same survival rates in canine and posterior regions as titanium abutments, compare esthetic result two abutment types. Material methods: Twenty‐two patients with 40 implants were included implant sites randomly assigned 20 abutments. All‐ceramic (AC) metal–ceramic (MC) crowns fabricated. In all except cases, cemented on using resin glass‐ionomer cements. Two reconstructions screw...
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate dimensional changes peri-implant tissues obtained by implant placement, bone and soft tissue augmentation, prosthetic reconstruction 1 year function using a new, non-invasive method for volumetric measurements. Materials Methods: In 16 patients, missing central or lateral maxillary incisor reconstructed with an implant-supported single crown. Impressions were taken before (t1), after placement guided regeneration DBBM PTFE membrane...
Abstract Objectives To test the survival rates, and technical biological complication rates of customized zirconia titanium abutments 5 years after crown insertion. Material methods Twenty‐two patients with 40 single implants in maxillary mandibular canine posterior regions were included. The implant sites randomly assigned to supporting all‐ceramic crowns or metal‐ceramic crowns. Clinical examinations performed at baseline, 6, 12, 36 60 months follow‐up. reconstructions examined for and/or...
