May 1, 2008... The objectives of this study were to chronologically examine the titanium-bone interfaces and to clarify the process of osseointegration using light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and microcomputed tomography (CT). ...

J Oral Implantol: A finite element analysis of two different dental implants: Stress distribution in the prosthesis, abutment, implant, and supporting bone.(Reprint)
May 1, 2008... This study evaluated the influence of two commercially available dental implant systems on stress distribution in the prosthesis, abutment, implant, and supporting alveolar bone under simulated occlusal forces, employing a finite element...

J Oral Rehabil: Relationship between dental implant stability determined by resonance frequency analysis measurements and peri-implant vertical defects: An in vitro study.(Reprint)
May 1, 2008... Resonance frequency (RF) analysis is a non-invasive and objective technique developed for implantology, where it measures the stability of the implant in the bone socket. A limited number of studies were performed to compare different stability...

Clin Oral Implants Res: Immediate non-occlusal vs. early loading of dental implants in partially edentulous patients: A multicentre randomized clinical trial. Peri-implant bone and soft-tissue levels.(Reprint)
May 1, 2008... The goal of this investigation was to compare peri-implant bone and soft-tissue levels of immediately non-occlusally loaded vs. non-submerged early loaded implants in partially edentulous patients up to 14 months after placement. Fifty-two...

J Prosthet Dent: Immediate function in the atrophic maxilla using zygoma implants: A preliminary study.(Brief article)
May 1, 2008... The aim of this retrospective, preliminary study was to evaluate, after a follow-up, prosthetic-loading period of 6-29 months, the survival rate of 36 immediately loaded zygomatic implants placed in 18 atrophied maxillae. Eighteen...
