Immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sites.
December 1, 2006... When two-stage, root-form osseointegrated implants were first introduced, the techniques for using to them were based on the assumption that implants would be placed into healed alveolar ridges. In the past 12-15 years, however, the concept of...

Clin Oral Implants Res: Indications for immediate loading of implants and implant success.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... It was the aim of this review to compare the survival and success rates of immediately loaded dental implants with those of conventionally loaded dental implants, based on prospective controlled studies and prospective studies without controls....

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res: A pilot study of complete edentulous rehabilitation with immediate function using a new implant design: case series.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... The current investigation focuses on new implant designs for increased predictability in clinically demanding situations. Micro-textured implant surfaces create favorable conditions for enhanced osseointegration of dental implants compared to...

J Biomed Mater Res A: Electrophoretic deposition of hydroxyapatite coating on fecralloy and analysis of human osteoblastic cellular response.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... Hydroxyapatite has been successfully deposited onto Fecralloy substrate (a metal alloy with 22% Cr, 4.8% Al) by electrophoretic deposition in an attempt to promote the adhesion between coating and substrate, consequently to extend the lifetime...

Clin Oral Implants Res: Neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser irradiation with low pulse energy: a potential tool for the treatment of periimplant disease.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... Bacterial contamination may seriously compromise successful implant osteointegration in the clinical practice of dental implantology. Several methods for eliminating bacteria from the infected implants have been proposed, but none of them have...

Zhonghua Kou Qiang Yi Xue Za Zhi: Buccal soft tissue augmentation using acellular dermal matrix in implant therapy.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to improve aesthetic effects of alveolar ridge in dental implantology. Fifty patients with similar single missing tooth in the anterior maxilla were...

Biomaterials: Response of human endothelial cells to oxidative stress on [Ti.sub.6][Al.sub.4]V alloy.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... Titanium and its alloys are among the most frequently used materials in bone and dental implantology. The good biocompatibility of titanium(-alloys) is attributed to the formation of a titanium oxide layer on the implant surface. However,...

J Oral Maxillofac Surg: Early implant loading in severely resorbed maxilla using xenograft, autograft, and platelet-rich plasma in 97 patients.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... The aim of this study was to examine the reconstruction of the maxilla with the simultaneous placement of International Team for Implantology (ITI) implants with the combined use of a small amount of intraoral autogenous bone providing the...

Dent Mater: Surface treatments of titanium dental implants for rapid osseointegration.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... The osseointegration rate of titanium dental implants is related to their composition and surface roughness. Rough-surfaced implants favor both bone anchoring and biomechanical stability. Osteoconductive calcium phosphate coatings promote bone...

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res: Correlation between implant stability quotient and bone-implant contact: a retrospective histological and histomorphometrical study of seven titanium implants retrieved from humans.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... Primary stability has a relevant role in the long-term success of dental implants. A quantitative method for the measurement of implant stability has been introduced (resonance frequency analysis [RFA]). Information about the significance of...

Biomaterials: The role of whole blood in thrombin generation in contact with various titanium surfaces.(Reprint)
December 1, 2006... Understanding of the thrombotic response (activation of the intrinsic coagulation system followed by platelet activation) from blood components upon contact with a titanium dental implant is important and not fully understood. The aims of this...

Neuro Endocrinal Lett: Soft and hard tissue response to zirconium dioxide dental implants--a clinical study in man.(Reprint)(Clinical report)
December 1, 2006... Titanium dental implants have been used successfully in implantology for more than 40 years. Recent research, however, suggests that titanium might have more side effects than previously believed. Zirconia ceramics have been employed in...
