Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the immediate definitive abutment connection to dental implant is effective in preventing marginal bone loss when compared to the conventional treatment with late abutment/implant connection, which include three disconnections and reconnections.
The purpose of this study is to examine if a biologically active commercially available amnion chorion membrane (ACM) is as effective as the commercially available inert dense polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (D-PTFE) in preserving jaw bone dimensions and whether it provides the added benefit of reducing post-operative discomfort after dental surgery
Crestal bone and soft tissue stability around implants is an important issue in implant dentistry. Initial vertical mucosal tissue thickness was shown to be one of the factors having impact on bone stability. However, there is lack of data in the literature regarding the relationship between mucosal thickness and marginal bone loss around implants. Berglundh and Lindhe in an animal study reported that thin mucosal tissue causes significantly more crestal bone resorption around implants. In addition, clinical research regarding the effects of tissue thickness on bone and soft tissue stability around implants is lacking. The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the influence of mucosal tissue thickness on soft and hard tissue changes around implants.
The study is a 2-arm, parallel-design, randomized, prospective clinical trial designed to examine histologic wound healing following ridge preservation using bone allograft that has been prepared by either freeze-drying or via a non-freeze-dried solvent process.This entire protocol involves procedures that are standard care. All materials are FDA-approved materials being used in an FDA-approved manner. The test group subjects will have extraction sockets grafted with a cancellous non-freeze-dried bone allograft (called PUROS graft). This test group will be compared to an active control group using cancellous freeze-dried bone allograft (called FDBA). The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference in formation of new vital bone between treatment groups (primary outcome). Each subject will provide a single non-molar tooth site for study treatment. After tooth extraction, the graft material will be placed and covered by a resorbable collagen membrane. Following 3 months of healing, the dental implant will be place, at which time a core of bone will be removed from the site as part of the preparation for the implant. The core biopsy will then be evaluated for the primary histologic outcome of % vital bone formation and secondary histologic outcome of % residual graft material.
The primary aims of this study are to compare the clinical and histologic results of bone regeneration with a cancellous block allograft versus MinerOss Cortico cancellous particulate allograft mixed with autogenous bone chips after 4 months of healing. Titanium reinforced hd-PTFE (Cytoplast) membrane GBR will be used to cover the bone grafts. Specific Aim 1: To compare the baseline to 4 month change in clinical ridge width and height. Specific Aim 2: To compare the histologic percent of vital and nonvital bone and trabecular space at 4 months. The primary outcome variable is the change in horizontal ridge width. The secondary outcomes are the change in ridge height and the percent histologic composition of the augmented site.
To assess efficiency of ridge preservation (in vertical and horizontal dimensions) after tooth extraction using Calcium Sulfate with hydroxyapatite(®Bond-apatite) compared to the use of bovine bone substitute (BioOss®) and to extration only as negative control.
A randomized controlled trial of 12-month duration to compare gingival margin location, buccal horizontal ridge dimensions, and interproximal crestal bone levels following two surgical approaches for immediate placement of implants in the esthetic zone: one involving flap elevation and another using a flapless protocol.
The main objective of this prospective, controlled, and randomized clinical study is to evaluate the peri-implant bone loss of immediately loaded versus conventionally loaded implants with a single prosthesis. A split-mouth experimental design will be used, and the success rate of the installed implants will be determined. Twelve selected patients (corresponding to a minimum of 24 surgical implant sites) will receive endosseous Ti dental implants. The protocol for preparing the surgical sites will be based on the manufacturer's recommendations and bone density. Patients with an initial torque less than 30 N·cm and an implant stability quotient (ISQ) less than 60 will be excluded from the research. Envelopes, indicating which site is the test site, will be opened after the implants are installed. Transfer impressions of the implants receiving immediate loading will be produced so that temporary crowns can be made. Temporary crowns will be installed a maximum of 24 hours after the surgery, by using the torque recommended by the manufacturer. Appropriate occlusal adjustment will be made to ensure minimal contact at maximum intercuspation and absence of contacts during protrusive and lateral excursive movements of the jaw. At baseline (time of implant installation) and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after implant installation, the following aspects will be evaluated: the initial torque at the moment of implant insertion, Osstell ISQ, pain in the implant when subjected to vertical and horizontal forces, clinical mobility of the implant, crestal bone loss around the implant (as determined by x-ray evaluation), probing depth around the implant, and periodontal pain.
The purpose of this prospective clinical trial is to investigate and identify factors associated with the failure of dental implants within the population rehabilitated with dental implants at the Folktandvården Specialistklinik in Malmö (Spårvägsgatan 12, 214 27, Malmö).
