To investigate the in vitro diagnostic accuracy of low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (LD-CBCT) for the detection, classification, and measurement of peri-implant bone lesions. Titanium dental implants with all-ceramic single crowns (n = 24) were inserted into bovine bone. At twelve implants, four types of peri-implant bone lesions were created...

To evaluate the peri-implant trabecular bone volume and architecture changes with 6-month follow-up after local application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) using high-resolution micro-CT. Seventy-two dental implants were placed into healed mandibular sites of 9 beagle dogs. Implants were randomly divided into 4 groups f...

To compare the clinical treatment outcomes of maxillary four-implant retained overdentures with either splinted (bar) attachments or non-splinted (ball) attachments. Forty participants who were dissatisfied with their existing conventional maxillary complete dentures were included in this randomized controlled trial. Six months after implant placem...

This retrospective analysis was designed to compare the survival and success of dental implants in solely implant-supported, double crown-retained removable dentures (DCRDs) and combined tooth-implant-supported DCRDs, due to a lack of data on the latter. From 2002, patients were consecutively admitted for treatment at the Department of Prosthodonti...

Compare clinical outcomes of two types of dental implants with non-matching implant-abutment junctions loaded with fixed implant-borne reconstructions at 5 years of loading. In 64 patients, one of two implant systems (S1, S2) was randomly used to support fixed dental prostheses (FDP). At loading (TL ), after 1 (T1 ), 3 (T3 ) and 5 years (T5 ), the ...

To compare discomfort/pain following periodontal probing around teeth and peri-implant probing around implants with or without platform switching. Two dentists recruited and examined 65 patients, each of them exhibiting a dental implant with a contralateral tooth. Only two types of implants were included: one with and one without platform switching...

The aim of the present retrospective study was to assess the long-term clinical outcome of sandwich osteotomy in pre-implant augmentation of atrophic mandible. Sandwich osteotomies were performed in partially and fully edentulous mandibles of 63 consecutive patients in the present study. The vertical bone gain, graft stability, and marginal bone lo...

To compare the contributions of implant hydrophilicity and nanotopography on anchorage in bone. The effect of elevated calcium surface chemistry on bone anchorage was also investigated. A full factorial study design was implemented to evaluate the effects of ultraviolet (UV) light and/or sodium lactate (SL) and discrete crystalline deposition of na...

The purpose of the study was to assess patients' postoperative discomfort after implantations according to the All-on-4 concept with and without using Zygoma implants. Three treatment groups were formed for this prospective study: All-on-4 rehabilitation in the maxilla (group 1, N = 25), All-on-4 rehabilitation in the maxilla using at least two Zyg...

Due to bone loss, endosseous implants often require addition of a bone graft to support adequate primary fixation, bone regeneration, and osseointegration. The aim of this study was to compare effectiveness of autogenic and allogenic bone grafts when used during simultaneous insertion of the implant. 4-mm-diameter rabbit diaphyseal bone autografts ...
