Filter by:Edentulous patients commonly experience a deterioration in the quality of life; both in terms of oral and general health. Studies demonstrated that conventional dentures do not adequately restore masticatory function nor quality of life. In contrast, implant-supported overdentures are considered the standard of care for edentulous patients as they offer a more stable prosthesis that ultimately results in improved oral function and patient satisfaction. Precision attachments such as studs, magnets, telescopic crowns or a bars are commonly used for implant supported overdentures. Implant overdentures supported by stud attachments gained popularity for the rehabilitation of edentulous patients as they are self-aligning, offer dual retention and compensate for divergence between implants up to angles of 40 degrees. However, it has been documented that the stud attachment system (Locators) requires a high frequency of maintenance, particularly with regard to the replacement of the matrix. In order to overcome some of these limitations of existing attachment systems, a newer system was developed consisting of a matrix made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) instead of a polymeric material. This system has an amorphous diamond like carbon-based abutment coating (ADLC) and it was claimed to be more resistant to wear. Clinically and in vitro, no comparative studies have been performed addressing wear and retention of the traditional stud attachment and the newer ADLC attachment. Thus, the aim of the present study is to clinically and in vitro evaluate the ADLC and study attachment system.
The study will compare between osteotome technique and New Reverse Drilling Technique in the placement of dental implant in posterior maxilla , primary outcome will be Implant stability that will be measured by Periotest device . follow up for 6 month. secondary outcomes will be crestal bone loss , pain and swelling.
The scientific evidence available at present regarding the alterations suffered by the alveolar ridge after the explantation of implants that have been considered to be abandoned due to periimplantitis, as well as the remaining sequelae from said treatment, is scarce and inconclusive. Regarding this background, it is speculated that the different types of peri-implant defects present different bone remodeling and different sequelae after the explantation of the implants affected by peri-implantitis. Thus, it has been hypothesized that the peri-implant defect configuration has an influence on the radiographic bone alterations that occur after explantation. In order to test this hypothesis, a retrospective study has been designed as it follows: Patients who have undergone implant placement procedure and suffer from peri-implantitis will be consecutively included in the study. In addition, patients should present at least 2 CBCTs taken before and after explantation, 4-6 months apart. Linear measurements will be taken in order to assess dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge at 1, 3, 5 and 7 mm from the bone crest.
Implants placed immediately after tooth extraction usually present challenges in obtaining soft tissue coverage with high risk of bacterial invasion, wound dehiscence and subsequently adverse effect on the success rate of the implant due to lack of primary soft tissue closure over the implant. Different surgical methods have been described to achieve primary soft tissue closure in maxillary fresh socket, each having its advantages and disadvantages, based on that, buccal pad of fat can solve this soft tissue coverage problem with minimal complications and high success rate of the placed implants.The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of buccal pad of fat tissue with immediate implant placement in the posterior maxillary area.
To evaluate in a comparative way the patient's perception in implant surgery in the posterior mandibular quadrants depending on whether the operation is performed under trunk anaesthesia or infiltrative anaesthesia, in both cases with Articaine. Randomized and multicenter prospective study to be developed in eight centers with similar socio-professional characteristics, with the same operative protocol. A significant sample of patients will be randomized to undergo the same intervention (surgery to place implants in the posterior mandible) under one or another type of anesthesia (inferior alveolar block nerve or infiltrative) and data will be collected using a Numerical Rate scale on four occasions (after the incision, after drilling, after suturing and after 12h).
After atraumatic tooth extraction and the assessment of the feasibility of immediate implant placement, patients will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment concepts: 1. Immediate Implant Placement and Immediate Provisionalization 2. Alveolar Ridge Preservation. After 4 months of healing an implant will be placed with simultaneous GBR and/or Soft Tissue Augmentation procedures, if needed. 3. Spontaneous Healing of the socket. After 4 months of healing, an implant will be placedwith simultaneous GBR and/or Soft Tissue Augmentation procedures, if needed. In all groups, four months after implant placement, a prosthesis will be delivered. From this experimental period onward, patients will be scheduled for maintenance. Clinical, radiographic and volumetric assessment will be performed by clinicians not involved in the surgery and blind with respect to treatment assignment at 1, 3 and 5 years post loading.
There are studies investigating the dimensional changes following free gingival graft (FGG) around teeth with inadequate attached gingiva, however no study investigating the effect of smoking on dimensional changes following FGG around dental implants exists. In the present study, we hypothesized that smoking might increase the dimensional change of FGG around dental implants and affect the healing of donor site.
The objective of this study is to compare two surgical techniques for the treatment of the mandibular bone atrophies: Dense PTFE titanium-reinforced membranes (Group A) versus Titanium mesh covered with cross-linked collagen membranes (Group B). Therefore, the main purposes are to compare test and control regarding (i) the percentage of post-operative complications (ii) the three-dimensional bone gain (iii) histological, histomorphometrical and microCT outcomes (iv) perImplant bone loss and soft tissue parameters.
This study consists in a double-blinded randomized controlled trial which objective is to assess the effect of the implant-abutment connection type -external hexagon, internal hexagon and conical connection- in the periimplant marginal bone loss in vertical side and the bacterial leakage 12 months after prosthesis placement.
The objective of the research project will be to compare immediate and early unitary implants for the rehabilitation of missing teeth in the upper aesthetic region. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted in parallel with 120 individuals (60 per group) who are above 18 years of age, periodontally healthy, and who need to perform only one unit implant in the upper aesthetic region between the second premolars. In the immediate implant group, the tooth will be extracted in a minimally traumatic manner and the implant will be installed immediately after the fresh alveolus. Bovine bone replacement will be inserted into the gap between implant and vestibular wall of the alveolus, and an immediate temporary will be installed immediately. The provisional will be maintained for 3 months when the definitive crown will be made. In the early implant group, the tooth will be extracted, and after 2 months the implant will be installed with the use of bovine bone substitute to restore the buccal bone contour. The implant will be submerged, and 3 months of osseointegration will be performed reopening and final crown making. In both groups, the individuals will be followed for 1 year after the installation of the definitive crown. The outcomes evaluated will be patient satisfaction (main outcome), gingival phenotype, visible plaque, depth of probing, submucosal bleeding, proximal radiographic bone level, tomographic vestibular bone volume, perimplant clinical aesthetic indexes (Esthetic Pink Score and Papillary Index), evaluation three-dimensional tissue from intra-oral scanning and 3D printing, implant-related quality of life, and early and late implantation failures. Linear and logistic models of generalized estimating equations that take into account the longitudinal character of the study will be used for data analysis.
