Filter by:- Background There is a growing interest in restoring function in the posterior maxilla and mandible with dental implants. Next to this, these implants must be restored with crowns which are subject to minimal complications. Companies have introduced the option of screw-retaining and zirconia as crown material. The combination of posterior implants and screw-retained zirconia crowns are widely used, but prospective research on clinical performance and patient centered outcomes are scarce. Even more, 5-years data are lacking. - Main research question To evaluate the clinical performance of Astra Tech Implants EV and Atlantis CustomBase Abutments with full-contour zirconia Atlantis Crowns in the posterior maxilla and mandible. The primary objective of the study is marginal bone level changes by radiological assessments at 5-years follow-up. Secondary objectives are implant and restoration survival, condition of peri- implant mucosa and patients' satisfaction. - Design (including population, confounders/outcomes) The study design is an observational study of a group of patients which were treated 5 years ago with a dental implant and a screw-retained implant-supported zirconia restoration because of a missing tooth in the posterior region. Outcomes: primary outcome is the change in marginal peri-implant bone level 5 years after placing the definitive restoration. Secondary outcome measures will be implant and restoration survival, peri-implant mucosa health and patients' satisfaction using a questionnaire.
This is a single-center, single-group, prospective clinical trial testing a partially-guided protocol for placement of mini implants overdentures in the edentulous maxilla. Eligible participants will be subjects with an edentulous maxilla, wearing a conventional complete denture. Participants will receive six mini implants (Straumann® Mini Implant System, Institut Straumann AG, Switzerland) for retention of a maxillary overdenture. The six mini implant protocol will be virtually planned for an even distribution of the implants bilaterally, with a minimum of 5 mm distance between contiguous implants. The available lengths of the mini implants are 10, 12, and 14 mm, and the appropriate length will be selected according to the bony anatomical situation. In addition, the distribution and axial position of the mini implants will be planned to achieve the best biomechanical distribution and the most parallel position between implants, perpendicular to the occlusal plane and path of insertion of the prosthesis. The primary outcome will be the accuracy of the implant position using the partially-guided protocol. Assessment of the accuracy of the methods will be based on the measure of the difference between the actual and the planned position of the mini implants, based on the measurement of (1) the global deviations at the coronal and apical regions of the mini implants, (2) the vertical deviation, and (3) the apical angle deviation. Overall impacts of treatment on oral health-related quality of life will be assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile instrument for edentulous subjects (OHIP-EDENT). Additional outcomes will include implant survival and success rates, incidence of prosthodontic complications and peri-implant measurements.
The placement of implants in the symphyseal region is common, especially in the treatment of totally edentulous patients. Some implant surgical procedures may however be responsible for lesions of the vascular and nervous elements in the symphyseal region. The prevention of vascular and nervous accidents during or after implant surgery is based on the identification of vascular and nervous elements. Although the anatomy of the symphyseal region is rather well described in the literature, the data concerning totally edentulous patients remains fragmented. These suggest that tooth avulsion and bone resorption have an influence on the anatomy of the mandibular region, and of the vascular and nervous elements traveling in the anterior mandibular part. These modifications would be responsible for individual anatomical variations. In order to test this hypothesis, the investigator wish to evaluate the anatomical characteristics of the vascular and nervous elements located in the symphyseal region, retrospectively, of a totally edentulous population for which the anatomy was documented in a three-dimensional way from 2013 to 2021 before the placement of dental implants.
Isolated sinus pneumatization after single tooth extraction indicate sinus lifting for proper implant placement. The conventional way of using osteotomes to elevate the sinus is annoying to patient and also does not give the needed amount of bone around the implant. Introducing new intervention of Densah Burs helps increase bone gain around implant and decrease the patient discomfort.
The principal aim of the study is to evaluate the prosthetic complications with CAD-CAM fabricated provisional prostheses and denture conversion prostheses after 3 months of function. Supported restorations are now a predictable treatment modality for the rehabilitation of complete and partially edentulous jaws.Immediate loading of the placed implants is performed for the rehabilitation of the edentulous arch to improve patients' function. This can be usually done by converting the existing denture base of the patient or by making a CAD- CAM milled provisional prosthesis integrating digital workflow. A laboratory fabricated denture base can be converted into a screw-retained provisional prosthesis post implant placement. This is known as conversion prosthesis. However, drawbacks of these prostheses include increased chairside time for the clinician leading to inconvenience for the patient and a potential for an error in prosthesis fabrication. With the introduction of CAD-CAM technology, it is now possible to fabricate a provisional restoration using digital workflows. This workflow would help the clinicians save a considerable amount of chairside time and obtain potentially stronger restorations better polished and without contamination of surgical field. Studies assessing the soft tissue response and patient-reported outcome measures between denture conversion and CAD- CAM fabricated provisionals are currently lacking in the literature.
This study will be initiated to compare the accuracy of implant placement using the guided trephination drilling protocol and the guided conventional drilling protocol.
The purpose of the study is to compare soft tissue volume changes in terms of volume gain and stability around dental implants and PROMS in cases where a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) from the palate, Porcine collagen matrix (CM) or Porcine Acellular dermal matrix (PADM) is used after 3 and 15 months after implant placement.
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.
- Patients were randomly divided in to two groups by using computerized software ; the first group received flat magnetic attachment design while the second group received dome magnetic attachment design.which the inclusion criteria is completely edentulous patient ,Age range from 40 to 70 year old ,skeletal class 1, both sexes - Implant stability will be measured for both groups using smart peg /osstell at the day of implant installation and after 2,4,8,12 weeks. - Patient satisfaction measure in 2 weak and after 12 weak by Denture satisfaction questionnaire
CAD/CAM (computer aided design/ computer aided manufacturing) constructed screw retained implant supported frameworks give solutions for the problems arising from the lost wax technique by improving accuracy, adaptation and passive fit of the final restoration. However, concerns about the passive fit of a pre-implant insertion CAD/CAM constructed framework still exists due to the expected errors in imaging, registration, surgical guide construction, adaptation and hence transferring the planned position intra-orally.
