Dental Implantology Update archives from April 2008

Materials, timing, and techniques: immediate implant loading in extraction and grafted sites.
April 1, 2008... The high cost of dental implant surgery requires predictable and permanent procedures whenever possible. Primary stability and minimal micromovement are essential for osseointegration. Frequently, a two-stage procedure has been followed to help...

Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol: effects of bur wear during implant site preparation: An in vitro study.
April 1, 2008... Few studies have investigated the influence of drilling on bone healing. After the drilling of bone and placement of dental implants a sequence begins of cellular and molecular events that represents a combined response of wound healing. The...

Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol: correlation between implant stability quotient (ISQ) with clinical and histological aspects of dental implants removed for mobility.
April 1, 2008... Dental implants are a successful treatment modality for missing teeth; however, failures do occur. These failures can occur early in the healing process after primary stability has been achieved at the time of implant placement, or after...

Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol: bone microstructure evaluation near unloaded dental implants combining confocal scanning laser microscopy, circularly polarized light microscopy, and SEM backscattered electrons imaging.
April 1, 2008... The aim of this report was to present a new investigative approach to implant dentistry based on the correlation of qualitative and quantitative data reported on the same figure by overlapping different images collected on the specimen with...

Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod: histologic changes in the maxillary sinus membrane after sinus membrane elevation and the simultaneous insertion of dental implants without the use of grafting materials.
April 1, 2008... The aim of this study was to evaluate the histologic changes in the maxillary sinus membrane after sinus membrane elevation and the simultaneous insertion of dental implants without additional grafting material. In six mongrel dogs,...

Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop: anchorage capacity of osseointegrated and conventional anchorage systems: A randomized controlled trial.
April 1, 2008... The aim in this investigation was to evaluate and compare orthodontic anchorage capacity of four anchorage systems during leveling/aligning and space closure after maxillary premolar extractions. One hundred twenty patients (60 girls, 60...

Implant Dent: injectable bone applied for ridge augmentation and dental implant placement: Human progress study.
April 1, 2008... The aim of this study was to clinically evaluate the success of implants placed in conjunction with a new material, tissue-engineered bone, and the stability of the regenerated bone after functional loading on a long-term basis. The...

Implant Dent: Immediate loading of the grafted maxillary sinus using platelet rich plasma and autogenous bone: a preliminary study with histologic and histomorphometric analysis.
April 1, 2008... The goal of this clinical study was to evaluate dental implant survival rates using the concept of a nonfunctional, immediate loading protocol with nonsplinted dental implants in the grafted maxillary sinus during a 52-week period. Random...

Implant Dent: surface characterization of three titanium dental implants.
April 1, 2008... The aim of this study was to evaluate topographically and compositionally the rough surface of three different commercial titanium dental implants. Bio Com Standard, Osseotite[R] Implant, and Fixture MT OsseoSpeed[TM] were analyzed using...

Implant Dent: success rate of immediate nonfunctional loaded single-tooth implants: immediate versus delayed implantation.
April 1, 2008... The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate of maxillary immediate nonfunctional single-tooth loaded implants used into fresh extraction sites (immediate placement condition) or healed ridge (delayed placement condition). ...
