Abstract Aim: To compare the immediate restoration of single implants in esthetic zones performed on placed immediately after tooth extraction or 8 weeks later (immediate replacement vs. restoration). Methods: Sixteen patients (10 women and 6 men) with a mean age 35 years (ranging from 21 to 49 old) were treated 2004 2005 for single‐tooth upper arch. The randomly divided into two groups: test group received restored (non‐occlusal loading) at time extraction; control restored. All tapered...
Abstract Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate if use deprotenized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and collagen barrier membranes (CM) in combination with mandibular block grafts could reduce graft resorption during healing. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled has been designed. Twenty‐two ridges presenting horizontal alveolar deficiency (crest width <4 mm) at least two adjacent missing teeth were included study. In control group, one or multiple blocks used gain...
Aim: To evaluate the long-term morbidity of intraoral bone harvesting from two different donor sites (mandibular symphysis or ramus) for augmentation procedures before at time implant placement and to success survival rates implants placed in augmented with mandibular bone. Methods: Seventy-eight patients who received grafts were recalled after 18–42 months follow-up (mean 29 months). The group consisted 36 men 42 women aged between 18 68 years old moment surgery. Vitality teeth adjacent was...
Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome submerged vs. non‐submerged tapered implants placed into fresh extraction sockets. Materials and methods: A prospective, controlled, multicenter, randomized, trial has been performed in two centers Rome Torino (Italy). Thirty healthy patients were recruited according following inclusion criteria: need for an immediate post implant, ages between 18 70, horizontal defect depth <2 mm, smokers <10 cigarettes/day...
Abstract Aim To evaluate the clinical performance as well patients' and clinicians' satisfaction on two different prosthodontic retention systems for implant‐overdentures in mandible. Methods In this retrospective study, patients provided with four intraforaminal implants at least 12 months of follow‐up since overdenture delivery were evaluated. A total 39 treated either Locator ® attachment or cad‐cam milled bar. Clinical parameters such Peri‐implant Probing Depth ( PPD ), Plaque Index PI...
Abstract Objectives The aim of the present publication was to report on EAO Workshop group‐4 discussions and consensus statements five reviews previously prepared. These provided scientific evidence effect crown‐to‐implant ratio, reconstructions with cantilevers in fully partially edentulous patients, biological technical complications tilted comparison straight implants, effects osseointegrated implants functioning a residual dentition. Material Methods group discussed, evaluated, corrected...
Purpose: To describe a technique intended to transfer of the intermaxillary and occlusal relationships in fully digital environment from complete denture an implant-supported 3D-printed hybrid prosthesis (an acrylic resin fixed dental supported by implants). Methods: In edentulous cases, physiological mandibular position should be determined before immediate loading procedures. some use interim removable prostheses for few weeks could useful test new occlusion centric relation verify...
Abstract Objective: The aim of the present work was to compare marginal precision titanium frameworks for a complete arch‐fixed prosthesis fabricated using five different methods. Methods: A prospective study designed. Fifteen totally edentulous upper or lower jaws, each supported by nine implants, were assigned groups, so as have three in group technique: (1) lost wax technique frameworks, (2) cast sovrastructures laser welded prefabricated copings, (3) Procera ® Implant Bridge, (4) Cresco...
Abstract Background Different therapeutic concepts and methods have been proposed for improving dental implant outcomes in three specific clinical situations: (i) the fresh extraction socket with alveolar ridge preservation protocols; (ii) posterior maxilla limited bone height either placement of regular‐sized implants after sinus elevation grafting or short and; (iii) mandible vertical augmentation implants. Materials Three systematic reviews, based on randomized controlled trials evaluated...
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that surface electromyography (sEMG) recordings, made at mandibular rest position from masseter and temporalis anterior areas, are intraand inter-session reproducible. A template designed built permit correct electrode placement one session next session. sample 18 subjects examined. Two groups, homogeneous for age, sex, craniofacial morphology were selected. first group included asymptomatic with no signs or symptoms temporomandibular joint...
Aim Digital technology has greatly improved its accuracy and precision in the last decade allowed for a complete digital workflow several dental applications. The present paper describes technique used by authors manufacturing of intraoral occlusal splints featuring workflow. Materials methods procedure includes an scan maxillary mandibular arches, registration vertical relationship, computer-assisted design (CAD) splint fabrication with multi-jet 3D printer. Conclusion presented allows...
Abstract: The authors have retrospectively evaluated the clinical results of mandibular incisors replacement with narrow neck implants (NNI). Thirty‐one patients treated consecutively for single or multiple lower incisor NNI a mean follow‐up 23 months (range 18–42 months) were included in study and divided into three groups: tooth, unit restoration restorations on adjacent implants. Survival success rates soft tissue parameters such as modified plaque index (mPI), peri‐implant probing depth...
The edentulous maxilla is often affected by bone resorption, sometimes making it difficult to place standard diameter implants. Narrow implants made of titanium-zirconium (Ti-Zr) alloy, which has superior mechanical properties compared with titanium, have been proposed for these situations. This retrospective clinical observation reports the outcome use reduced Ti-Zr alloy supporting maxillary overdentures retained locator abutments. charts all patients who received supported four unsplinted...
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes after 2 years with bone level implants placed restore a single missing teeth that needed simultaneous augmentation and were treated transmucosal or submerged approach. Methods This analyzed subset patients included in an ongoing prospective multicenter randomized trial ( RCT ) involving12 centers where be followed‐up 5 loading. Of 120 original study, randomly assigned non‐submerged healing, 52 (28 women 24 men patients,...
Abstract Background During the third Summer Camp of European Association Osseointegration ( EAO ), 40 junior representatives from various societies and associations were brought together to discuss explore following topics in Implant Dentistry next 10 years: (I) certification, (II) associations, (III) continuing education, (IV) innovations. Aims The aims all working groups identify outline present situation area selected topic propose improvements innovations be implemented years. Materials...
The rehabilitation of edentulous mandibles with implant-supported overdentures is a state-of-the-art contemporary implant treatment. Computer-assisted flapless surgery associated decreased chairside treatment time, as well significant reduction in patient postoperative morbidity and discomfort. aim this study was to evaluate the protocol computer-guided supported by four intraforaminal implants retained Locator® attachments elderly patients, both from clinician's patient's perspective,...
