Monolithic and Minimally Veneered Zirconia Complications as Implant-Supported Restorative Material: A Retrospective Clinical Study up to 5 Years

Abstract: Objective: Long-term clinical data on the success and complication rates of monolithic or minimally veneered zirconia implant-supported restorations are lacking. Hence, the purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to analyze…

The Utility of Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis Material for Implant Micromovement and Peri-implant Bone Microstrain: A Study in Rabbit Tibia

Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate and compare the effects of two restorative materials with different stiffness on peri-implant bone microstrain and implant micromovements during occlusal loading in implant-supported single and adjacent splinted…

The Bone Buttress Theory: The Effect of the Mechanical Loading of Bone on the Osseointegration of Dental Implants

Abstract: Objectives: To determine the effect of mechanical loading of bone on the stability and histomorphometric variables of the osseointegration of dental implants using an experimental test in an animal model. Materials and methods: A…

Effect of implantoplasty on the elastic limit of dental implants of different diameters

Abstract: Background: Implantoplasty reduces both implant diameter and the thickness of its walls, subsequently reducing the ability of the implant to resist fracture in response to functional load. In combination with an increase in the crown-implant…

Consequences of Peri-Implant Bone Loss in the Occlusal Load Transfer to the Supporting Bone in terms of Magnitude of Stress, Strain, and Stress Distribution: A Finite Element Analysis

Abstract: Methods: Three models of a single internal connection bone level-type implant inserted into a posterior mandible bone section were constructed using a 3D finite element software: one control model without marginal bone loss and two…

Prevalence of Favorable Anatomy for Palatal Emergence of an Immediate Implant in the Maxillary Central Incisor Post-Extraction Site

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of favorable anatomy for palatal emergence of an immediate flapless implant in the maxillary central incisor post-extraction site. Implants were virtually placed into maxillary…

In Vitro Evaluation of the Retentive Effectiveness of Axial Attachments Used in Implant-Retained Overdentures After 1 Year of Function

Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure and compare the retention degrees of different attachment systems before and after 1 year of mastication and removal/insertion simulations. Materials and methods: A 4 × 10-mm implant…

Biomechanical Effects of Ti-Base Abutment Height on the Dental Implant System: A Finite Element Analysis

Abstract: This study aims to analyse, using a finite element analysis, the effects of Ti-base abutment height on the distribution and magnitude of transferred load and the resulting bone microstrain in the bone-implant system. A three-dimensional…

Comparison Between Corticocancellous Allograft and Bovine Xenograft for Sinus Augmentation: A Radiographic, Histologic, and Histomorphometric Clinical Study

Abstract: Sinus floor augmentation is one of the most common approaches to obtain sufficient bone availability for placing implants in cases with severe bone atrophy in the posterior maxilla. Several bone substitutes are indicated for sinus…

Effect of Applying 1% Metformin on Guided Bone Regeneration Processes with Bovine-Derived Xenografts

Effect of Applying 1% Metformin on Guided Bone Regeneration Processes with Bovine-Derived Xenografts Abstract: Background: Although xenografts have shown successful results in GBR procedures due to their osteoconductive properties, many authors…
