The MILO[TM] dental implant system: retention and stabilization of mandibular dentures.
March 1, 2007... According to Arun K. Garg, DMD, a private practice clinician in Aventura, FL, MILO[TM] dental implants (Intra-Lock International, Inc., Boca Raton, FL) can offer patients aesthetics, function, and stability. Garg points out that this particular...

Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants: Threaded versus porous-surfaced implants as anchorage units for orthodontic treatment: Three-dimensional finite element analysis of peri-implant bone tissue stresses.
March 1, 2007... Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2006; 21:879-889. A three-dimensional finite element model was developed to investigate the cause of different crestal bone loss patterns observed around sintered porous-surfaced and machined (turned) threaded...

Clin Oral Implants Res: In vitro evaluation of different heat-treated radio frequency magnetron sputtered calcium phosphate coatings.
March 1, 2007... Clin Oral Implants Res 2007 Feb 12; [Epub ahead of print]. Surface chemical compositions, such as calcium/phosphorus ratio and phase content, have a strong influence on the bioactivity and biocompatibility of calcium phosphate (CAP)...

J Periodontol: Alveolar distraction osteogenesis for bone augmentation of severely atrophic ridges in 10 consecutive cases: A histologic and histomorphometric study.
March 1, 2007... J Periodontol 2007; 78:360-366. This study analyzed bone healing in surgically osteodistracted maxillary and mandibular ridges histologically and histomorphometrically at two different times to determine the best time to insert dental...

J Periodontol: Tobacco as a risk factor for survival of dental implants.
March 1, 2007... J Periodontol 2007; 78:351-359. It has been shown that smoking habits represent an increased risk for impaired bone healing and implant failure. This study aimed to evaluate the implant survival rates among non-smokers (NS) and different...

J Periodontol: Evaluation of two different resonance frequency devices to detect implant stability: A clinical trial.
March 1, 2007... J Periodontol 2007; 78:262-272. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) provides a non-invasive assessment of implant stability. The established RFA device uses electronic technology, whereas a recently developed device uses magnetic...

J Periodontol: Assessment of pain associated with the surgical placement of dental implants.(Clinical report)
March 1, 2007... J Periodontol 2007; 78:239-246. Despite increasing popularity and established predictability, limited information is available on the pain experience associated with the surgical placement of dental implants. The aim of this study was to...

J Periodontol: Randomized, controlled histologic and histomorphometric evaluation of implants with nanometer-scale calcium phosphate added to the dual acid-etched surface in the human posterior maxilla.
March 1, 2007... J Periodontol 2007; 78: 209-218. Placement of dental implants in the posterior maxilla has been associated with higher rates of failure that are due, in part, to the poor bone quality of this region. The purpose of the present study was...

J Periodontol: Survival of Immediately provisionalized dental implants placed immediately into fresh extraction sockets.
March 1, 2007... J Periodontol 2007; 78: 219-223. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of immediately provisionalized dental implants immediately placed into fresh extraction sockets. The study consisted of 87 consecutive patients,...

J Periodontol: Peri-implant bone loss around posterior mandible dental implants placed after distraction osteogenesis: Preliminary findings.
March 1, 2007... J Periodontol 2007; 78:204-208. The present study evaluates implant survival and peri-implant bone loss around posterior mandible dental implants placed at sites of distraction osteogenesis. On removal of the distraction devices, 34...
