ABSTRACTBackground:Immediate‐function Brånemark System® implants (Nobel Biocare
AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) have become an accepted alternative for fixed
restorations in edentulous mandibles, based on documented high success rates.
Continuous development is ongoing to find simple protocols for their
use.Purpose:The purpose of this study was to develop and document a simple,
safe, and effective surgica... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACTBackground:Based on three‐dimensional implant planning software for
computed tomographic (CT) scan data, customized surgical templates and final
dental prostheses could be designed to ensure high precision transfer of the
implant treatment planning to the operative field and an immediate rigid
splinting of the installed implants, respectively.Purpose:The aim of the present
study was to (1)... hiện toàn bộ
ABSTRACTBackground:Immediate loading of dental implants shortens the treatment
time and makes it possible to give the patient an esthetic appearance during the
whole treatment period.Purpose:The aim of the present study was to evaluate an
immediate‐loading treatment protocol, which included flapless surgery, implants
placed in predetermined positions and connected to prefabricated provisional
rest... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACTBackground: Immediate implant function has become an accepted treatment
modality for fixed restorations in totally edentulous mandibles, whereas
experience from immediate function in the edentulous maxilla is limited.Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to report on the medium‐ and long‐term outcomes of
a protocol for immediate function of four implants (All‐on‐4™, Nobel Biocare AB,

AbstractBackgroundThe reasons for long‐term marginal bone loss around oral
implants are not well understood.PurposeThe aim of this paper is to analyze
presented evidence behind anticipated reasons for long‐term marginal bone loss
around oral implants.Materials and MethodsA computerized research was conducted
onPubMed inApril 2011 with the following keywords: oral implants and marginal

ABSTRACTBackground: Zirconia (ZrO2) might be an alternative material to titanium
(Ti) for dental implant fabrication. However, no data are available on the
fracture strength of one‐piece ZrO2 oral implants.Purpose: The objective of this
study was to evaluate the fracture strength of ZrO2 implants after exposure to
the artificial mouth.Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty ZrO2 and Ti
implants ... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACTPurpose: The aim of this review was to evaluate the survival rate of
upright and tilted implants supporting fixed prosthetic reconstructions for the
immediate rehabilitation of partially and fully edentulous jaws, after at least
1 year of function.Materials and Methods: An electronic search of databases plus
a hand search on the most relevant journals up to December 2009 was performed.

AbstractBackgroundStudies are needed to evaluate long‐term outcomes of the
All‐on‐4® treatment concept (Nobel Biocare AB) for rehabilitation of edentulous
mandibles by assessing marginal bone levels and risk indicators for implant
failure.PurposeTo evaluate 7‐year clinical outcomes and 5‐year radiographic
outcomes of the All‐on‐4 treatment concept.Materials and MethodsThis

ABSTRACTBackground: Short implants (≤8 mm) are manufactured for use in atrophic
regions of the jaws. As implant length in many studies has been proven to play a
major role in implant survival it is indicated to evaluate survival of short
implants in the present literature.Purpose: The purpose of this study was
systematically to evaluate publications concerning short dental implants defined
as an i... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACTBackground The reconstruction of a functional occlusion in the presence
of severe residual ridge resorption remains a significant challenge for
maxillofacial surgeons and prosthodontists. Removable appliances are
unsuccessful in severely resorbed cases and the advanced degree of bone loss
precludes conventional implant‐retained prostehesis. In recent years, bone graft
reconstruction of th... hiện toàn bộ
