Biomechanical evaluation of oversized drilling technique on primary implant stability measured by insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis Abstract Background: This study evaluated the influence of implant site preparation depth on primary stability measured by insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Material and methods: Thirty-two implant sites were prepared in eight veal rib blocks. Sixteen […]
Mechanical Characterisation and Biomechanical and Biological Behaviours of Ti-Zr Binary-Alloy Dental Implants Abstract The objective of the study is to characterise the mechanical properties of Ti-15Zr binary alloy dental implants and to describe their biomechanical behaviour as well as their osseointegration capacity compared with the conventional Ti-6Al-4V (TAV) alloy implants. The mechanical properties of […]
Evaluation of the primary stability in dental implants placed in low density bone with a new drilling technique, Osseodensification: an in vitro study Abstract Background: Primary stability is an important key determinant of implant osseointegration. We investigated approaches to improve primary implant stability using a new drilling technique termed osseodensification (OD), which was compared with […]
The Impact of Compaction Force on Graft Consolidation in a Guided Bone Regeneration Model Abstract Purpose: Compaction of particulated grafts is done manually; thus, the effect of compression force on bone regeneration remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of two different compression forces on the consolidation of particulated bovine […]
Zirconia and radioactivity: An in vitro study to establish the presence of radionuclides in dental zirconia Abstract Statement of problem: Dental zirconia possesses concentrations of radionuclides, but their possible radioactivity is unknown. Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the radioactivity and radionuclide concentration in dental zirconia. Material and methods: Three specimens were […]
Influence of cortical bone and implant design in the primary stability of dental implants measured by two different devices of resonance frequency analysis: An in vitro study Abstract Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the implant design and the presence of cortical bone in the primary stability, as well as analyze the […]
Influence of time on primary stability of dental implants placed with osteotomes due to the elastic properties of peri-implant bone Abstract Background/purpose: The use of osteotomes as a technique for densification and expansion of the residual ridge is one of the most widely used procedures to achieve adequate peri-implant bone quantity and density. The aim […]
The functional loading of implants increases their stability: A retrospective clinical study Abstract Purpose: To assess the difference in the evolution of implant stability values, determined by resonance frequency analysis (RFA), between two groups of implants subjected to two different loading protocols: immediate and delayed. Materials and methods: A retrospective clinical study was conducted, including a […]
Efficacy of Selective Grinding Guided by an Occlusal Splint in Management of Myofascial Pain: A Prospective Clinical Trial Abstract Background: For patients whose centric relation (CR) has not been considered at the start and during treatment, the task of achieving an occlusal scheme that works together with the temporomandibular joint, the muscles, and the […]
