Filter by:The aim of is to compare the survival rate and technical outcomes of cantilever implant-supported fixed denture prosthetics (cFDPs) made either out of monolithic zirconia bonded to a titanium base in a digital workflow, or porcelain fused-to metal using a gold abutment in a conventional workflow. In addition, biological outcomes, wear patterns, PROMs and time efficiency will be recorded. The null hypothesis is: the reconstruction type does not influence the survival rate and technical outcomes of 2-unit implant-supported cFDP.
Patients in need for implant-supported restoration in maxillary posterior sites with insufficient residual bone height will be randomly allocated to two different arms. Crestal sinus lift with simultaneous implant placement will be performed in both groups. Control group: crestal sinus lift with no adjunctive biomaterial; Test group: crestal sinus lift associated with xenogenic bone graft and collagen membrane; Six months after implant placement, implants will be loaded with definitive screw-retained prostheses. Six months later, patients will be recalled for clinical and radiographic assessment.
Implant retained overdentures are a cost-effective treatment for elderly patients suffering from complete tooth loss. Despite the high success rate of implants in the general population, older adults lacking all teeth are a challenging population for implant therapy, often presenting limited bone disponibility, narrow alveolar ridges, diminished bone density, scarce inserted gingiva and several co-morbidities.Thus, improving their possibility of success in implant therapy avoiding further surgical interventions is key. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a blood derivate that can be easily and economically obtained from patients and that has shown promise of reducing the complications and improving the success of implant therapy, nevertheless its benefits in patients receiving implant retained overdentures has not been stablished. It is possible that PRF can improve the results and diminish the complications of implant therapy in older adults. The investigation aims to demonstrate that the use of platelet-rich fibirn (PRF) is safe and beneficial for implant treatment in older adults suffering from complete tooth loss.
The aim of this prospective observational study will be to evaluate patient-related outcomes, clinical, microbiological and peri-implant immunoinflammatory mediators in completely edentulous patients rehabilitated with delayed loaded overdentures prostheses. The investigators hypothetize that this system could restore edentulous patients with healthier mucosal concerning clinical, microbiological and immunoinflammatory parameters, besides to promote improvement in patient satisfaction and quality of life.
The microthreaded and platform switched implants could control the stress in the suitable range. The splint would disturb the function. So it is necessary to know whether the splinted single-unit crowns is fit for the adjacent multi-implants. Outcome variables: Splinted single-unit crowns on one side implants and non-splinted single-unit crowns on the other side Materials and method: 80-100 consecutive implants in at least 20 patients would be included for implant- supported restorations in the posterior maxilla or mandibular. All patients would be in general good health. For every patient, the same posterior teeth had lost on both sides for more than 6 months. All patients were treated by the same qualified surgeon. Prosthetics procedure would be performed by an experienced prosthodontist. The two sides were allocated to the test or the control group according to the predefined computer-generated randomization table. Clinical evaluations and radiographic analysis were performed by an oral and maxillofacial radiologist who was not aware of the type of Prosthetics technique that was used.
The aim of this prospective cohort study is to compare the esthetic, clinical and patient-centered outcomes following immediate and delayed implant placement protocols.
The main purpose of the present study is to evaluate the dental implant placement using two different CBCT-derived templates and to study the related factors that affect accuracy so as to support the further clinical application of the technique. Thirty patients with partial edentulous denture are recruited. They are randomized to two groups. A radiographic guide is prepared before CT/CBCT scan. The CT/CBCT scan DICOM files are loaded in a planning program and converted into 3D computer images. A surgical template is fabricated through this virtual planning. After 6 weeks, if the implants are judged stable, the patient has the option of replacing the fixed prosthesis. Patients are recalled for oral hygiene maintenance and prosthetic controls every 6 months for the entire duration of the study.
To investigate the prevalence and risk factors for peri-implant disease in partially edentulous patients rehabilitated with implants supported crown or bridge so as to provide evidence for clinical prevention and control.

BACKGROUND: The literature has shown that simplified methods for complete denture fabrication can be as effective as the traditional techniques, but with less expenditure of time and resources, without prejudice to the patients. However, the effectiveness of these simplified methods for patients with more complex medical conditions haven't been deeply explored. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed simplified method for complete dentures fabrication for patients with severely resorbed mandibular alveolar bones. METHOD: edentulous patients requesting treatment with bimaxillary complete dentures in a university clinic will be rehabilitated following a simplified technical proposal, being divided randomly into two groups according to the mandibular arch molding technique. In group A, a single impression with alginate through pre-fabricated trays will be performed, while patients allocated in group B will receive a second molding with a more complex technique. After 3 and 6 months, besides important clinical parameters, it will be investigated aspects related to patient's perceptions about the success of treatment. The study will be conducted with a minimum of 30 participants per group, and comparisons between the two groups will be made by means of tests suitable for distribution of data.
