Discover the critical clinical and technical factors to consider when selecting the appropriate Ti-base abutment and the restoration material for single implant hybrid-abutment crown restorations to ensure the best possible predictable outcome.
Introduction This opinion article aims to, in part at least, assess the relevant literature on the concept of flapless versus flapped implant placement and offer a personal opinion on the conclusions that can be obtained. The long-standing traditional method of surgical implant placement is done by raising a full-thickness mucoperiosteal
Discover a minimally invasive ridge reconstruction therapy for the management of post-extraction dehiscence defects, demonstrating the use of a particulate bone grafting material and a non-resorbable dense polytetrafluoroethylene membrane immediately after tooth extraction.
The successful outcome of an implant is based on the definitive diagnosis and precise, customized treatment plan that is best for the individual. The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of implant planning using the SAC Assessment Tool during implant planning.
Discover the advantages of using a titanium base abutment as both a temporary and definitive abutment in an immediate non-occlusal loading case in terms of both biological preservation of tissues and clinical efficiency in reducing chairside time and treatment cost.
Abstract Various implant topographies are susceptible to peri-implantitis pathogen adherence and growth, resulting in biofilm formation. In combination with systemic, local, and implant-based risk factors, these pathogens can trigger an excessive inflammatory response in the peri-implant tissue, causing peri-implantitis onset along with hazardous bone resorption. Implant surface decontamination is an
Abstract The recently published ITI Treatment Guide Vol. 13: Prevention and Management of Peri-implant Diseases comprehensively presents diagnostic- and treatment-related aspects of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are caused by biofilm accumulation and dysbiosis, thus decontamination of the implant/suprastructure construct is essential to re-establish peri-implant health. Non-surgical
Introduction Even though new technologies and techniques have dramatically improved the treatment of edentulous patients over the years, clinicians still need to be aware of the challenges when managing these patients during treatment planning. The main reason is that, when implant-related treatments are involved, certain site-specific anatomic characteristics should be
Introduction Modern implant rehabilitation has become a computer-driven process, where CBCT imaging, surgical planning and prosthetic design software all allow the implementation of a digital workflow (Lerner et al. 2021). This workflow does not only help the practitioner execute the planned implant easily , but also increases the predictability and
Introduction Achieving long-term esthetic success by replacing missing teeth with dental implants is often challenging for clinicians. Predictable results can only be achieved when an adequate diagnosis and application of the most current scientific evidence are considered. Several variables significantly impact the treatment outcome of fixed implant-supported rehabilitation in the
