on our clinical experience and current scientific evidence when using monolithic zirconia in screw-retained fixed full arch cases.
Introduction Patient-centered treatments are at the core of how we approach treating our patients, and with developments in technology there are viable alternatives to major augmentation. In implant-supported reconstructions, if we have the ability to avoid large invasive procedures without compromising biological principles while minimizing morbidity, then this modality can
Restoring function and esthetics using titanium or ceramic implants are arguably the two main goals of dental implant therapy. While assessing osseointegration is relatively straightforward in daily clinical practice by tapping on implants or using more sophisticated methods such as applying ISQ values, measuring esthetics, however, is much more complicated.
Introduction The ITI Treatment Guide Vol. 9 provided us with an innovative solution called the “back off” strategy for elderly patients (Müller & Barter 2016). However, patients’ conditions vary widely, and the details of how and when to back off are unknown. The purpose of this clinical report is to discuss
Abstract In modern implant dentistry, osseointegration and bone regeneration are no longer the main focus. Patients are not only asking for functional restorations but also for natural-looking and esthetically satisfactory implant rehabilitations. Mucosal recessions are a common biological complication around dental implants in the esthetic zone. There are various possible
Introduction The therapeutic approach to treating the fully edentulous maxilla is in continuous evolution due to the advances in technology that have dramatically expanded the possibilities for esthetic optimization in the field of dentistry. The rising esthetic demand as well as the digital and technological improvement in the dental industry
Background and objective After tooth extraction, a remodeling process takes place in the alveolar socket, leading to volumetric changes that reduce bone availability for further dental implant placement. Why do dimensional alterations happen after tooth removal? Briefly, the periodontal ligament is lost during the alveolar healing process, which consequently affects
Introduction One of the most common developmental dental anomalies is tooth agenesis, which can range from absence of a single tooth to absence of the full dentition. Hypodontia describes five or fewer missing teeth (excluding third molars) and has a prevalence ranging from 2.7 to 11.6 %. It varies according
Introduction The lack of interproximal papilla in single-tooth implant restorations in the esthetic zone has a significant impact on the esthetic results. In particular, the presence of the gingival papilla is important in medium and high-smile cases. The ITI’s esthetic risk assessment (ERA) documented in the ITI Treatment Guide series
Introduction Fully edentulous patients with severely resorbed ridges and unfavorable jaw relations often encounter difficulties with their conventional denture due to an impaired load-bearing capability, especially in the lower arch. Implant-retained overdentures (IODs) were proposed as an effective treatment for rehabilitating such patients to restore both function and esthetics and
