Filter by:As part of post-marketing clinical follow-up, BIOTECH DENTAL sets up the collection and evaluation of clinical data proactively with the aim of confirming the safety, performance as well as the constantly acceptable nature of the risks identified and of detecting potential emerging risks with the use of "Kontact Perio Level" implants in everyday practice.
the purpose of this study is to clarify the rationale for the choice of the upper or lower jaw for positioning the occlusal splint
Partial or total edentulousness has a significant impact on quality of life both functionally and aesthetically. TBR® Tissue Level Z1 Implants allow the patient to prevent bone resorption and maintain facial tissue and musculature support. At the functional level, the patient who benefits from implant treatment regains normal masticatory function with all the benefits on the quality of life that this can bring him. Due to the osseointegration of the implant and the biocompatibility of the materials used, the implant treatment remains effective in the long term and makes it possible to maintain the aesthetics of the smile.

Ridge deformities can complicate prosthetic rehabilitation, especially in situations where optimal esthetic outcomes are desired. Simpler, less invasive and predictable treatments are needed in order to obtain soft tissue augmentation at edentulous ridges. Autogenous subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) has always been regarded as the treatment of choice, but heterologous volume stable collagen matrix (VCMX) is emerging as a reliable alternative. The principal aim of the present RCT will be to compare the volumetric buccal soft tissue changes at edentulous areas after augmentation procedure using VCMX or SCTG. Parameters related to periodontal health at adjacent teeth and patient reported outcomes (PROMs) will be also assessed as secondary outcomes. Proving the non- inferiority of VCMX compared to SCTG would provide the specialists and general clinicians with an easier, less invasive and better tolerated technique for soft tissue augmentation at edentulous ridges and for improving aesthetic and cleansability of the prosthetic rehabilitation.
Since the teeth loss leads to disability & impairment, and teeth restoration lead to improvement in the life quality throughout the oral health improvement. The acceptable function of a complete denture on great extent depends on impression technique which includes the maximum coverage of denture supporting areas and making a combination of managing movable soft tissues along with different kinds of impression materials and techniques for accurate reproduction of oral foundation. Border molding considered to be as an important step in the in complete denture fabrication, since the retention of complete dentures depend on several factors, as the biological, physical and mechanical, these factors could be achieved by mean of an accurate border molding followed by an accurate final impression. The border molding technique is the shaping of the border areas of a custom impression tray by manual or functional manipulation of the tissue adjacent to the borders in order to duplicate the size and contour of the vestibule resulting in maintains of the peripheral seal during function. This property causes the border molding process to require twenty-four insertions, namely eight in the maxilla and sixteen in the mandible causing long working time and discomfort in patients. Hence, the material used for this technique should provide optimum working time, have adequate body, and permit the correction of border moulding by additions. However additions if made to a single step border moulded material would again introduce all the disadvantages that are associated with sectional moulding Single-step border molding is considerably more straightforward than sectional border molding owing to the reduced number of tray insertions. This technique is usually used with elastomeric impression materials, which may not provide sufficient time to mold and record the peripheral tissues of the denture bearing area. The present technique uses light polymerizing tray material for molding tray borders, offering extended working time. This is advantageous for operators with less experience, such as dental school students. Furthermore, correction of border molding is possible with the addition of new material. The technique uses materials that are readily available,and no special armamentarium is required.
Main aim of this study was to assess survival rates of short implants with a length of 4 mm in the edentulous mandible after 1, 3, and 5 years.
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.
This study aims to test the combined effects of different loading protocols and surgical approaches on clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following the use of four mini implants for mandibular overdenture retention. The main study hypotheses are: 1. There are significant improvements in PROMs following implant intervention compared to baseline measures; 2. Immediately loaded mini implants have similar failure rates compared to mini implants receiving a delayed 6-week protocol. 3. Flapless surgery has similar post-insertion outcomes compared to flapped surgery.
Objectives to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction in completely edentulous patients, when restored by maxillary and mandibular fixed (screw-retained) or removable telescopic retained implant supported prosthesis. 19 patients were randomized to receive either a fixed or a removable maxillary and mandibular full arch implant prosthesis. They were then asked to answer the OHIP-14 and a patient satisfaction questionnaire at 2 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months post-prosthetic insertion.
