Stability Of Immediately Placed And Delayed Implants Using Resonance Frequency Analysis (Rfa). A Systematic Review, Sara H. Younis, Catherine I. Radana, Doha M. Galal, Heba K. Abdul-Fattah, John A. Labib

Future Dental Journal

Objectives: The aim of the present Systematic Review was to compare between immediate and delayed dental implant placement using resonance frequency analysis specifically Implant Stability Quotients (ISQ).

Search methods: Search was performed in two databases (PubMed and Cochrane Library) till March 2023. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included and measurements of ISQ at time of placement and time of loading were recorded. We excluded papers discussing bone grafting, orthodontic treatment and implant surface treatment.

Results: Results were above ISQ threshold value of 65, with no significant difference between immediate and delayed implants. However, Immediate placement showed shorter treatment time and …

Evaluation Of Controlled Release Simvastatin Around Dental Implant In Controlled Type Ii Diabetic Patient, Salma M. Baheir, Mai S. Attia, Aya M. Dawaba

Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry

Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of topically controlled release simvastatin with dental implant in type II diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: Sixteen diabetic type II patients with missing teeth were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided randomly into two groups using flip coin method. Group I (test group): 8 patients underwent implant placement for missed tooth with controlled released simvastatin around the implant. Group II (control Group): 8 patients underwent implant placement for missed tooth without controlled released simvastatin around the implant. All patients were followed up clinically and …

Evaluation Of Delayed And Immediate Loading On The Peri-Implant Bone Resorption Of Fixed Mandibular Complete Denture Using All-On-Four Implant Concept, Yasmeen O. Hassan, Nesrin A. El-Mahrouk, Dina Kholief

Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the peri-implant bone resorption with delayed and immediate loading of fixed mandibular complete denture using All-On-Four Implant concepts. Subjects and methods: Ten completely edentulous patients were chosen with ages ranging from 55-70 years. Each patient received maxillary complete denture and a screw retained fixed mandibular complete denture using All- On-Four implants, patients were equally divided according to the loading protocol into two groups: Group (1) implants were loaded by screw retained fixed mandibular complete denture three months after implants placement (delayed loading), group (2) implants were loaded by screw retained fixed mandibular complete …

Clinical And Radiographic Evaluation Of Bone Remodeling Around Implants Placed In Horizontally Augmented Bone: A Pilot Study, Nadim El Khoury, Menassa Gabriel, Carole Chakar, Abdel Rahman Kassir, Nada Naaman

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Introduction: Marginal bone loss after implant placement is one of the most used criteria to assess the success of osseointegrated implants over time. The type of implant connection and implant surface type are reported to have an influence on bone remodeling around the placed implants. This study aimed to evaluate marginal bone loss around two implant systems with different connections and surfaces in horizontally augmented sites.

Methods: This randomized control pilot study included 8 implants placed in 3 patients who needed implant placement in previously horizontally grafted sites. The placed implants were divided into two groups: group 1 consisting of …

Dental Implant For Orthodontic Anchorage – A Case Report, Szu-Hsien Yu, Hsuan-Fang Wang, Hsun-Cheng Chang, Eddie Hsiang-Hua Lai

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

Three-dimensional planning of a dental-implant site is critical when the dental implants placed in the edentulous area are to be used initially as anchor for tooth movement and later as prosthetic abutments for the fixed restoration. The combined orthodontic and prosthetic implant restorative treatment of an adult patient with missing teeth, diastema of teeth, and malocclusion is described in this article. Plastic cast bases combined with customized position plates allowed the precise transfer of the proposed implant position from the diagnostic arrangement to the original cast to avoid compromising subsequent orthodontic treatment.

Evaluation Of The Bone Thickness Of Mandibular Molars Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Deniz Yanık, Ahmet Mert Nalbantoglu

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Objective: To investigate buccal and lingual bone thicknesses and fenestration rate of mandibular first and second molars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: A total of CBCT images of 41 patients were selected and overall 120 mandibular molars were investigated. The buccal and lingual alveolar bone widths were measured at apex of the roots. The prevalence of fenestration in mandibular molars was recorded. Statistical analyses were performed.

Results: The buccal bone widths of mesial root of second molars were significantly lower than the lingual (p<0.05). The lingual bone widths of mesial and distal root of second molars were lower than the buccal (p<0.05). The lowest thickness of buccal and lingual bone was observed in mesial root of first molar and distal root of second molar. The prevalence of fenestration in mandibular first and second molars was 5% and 10%.

Conclusion: The buccal bone widths were lower at the first molar than the second molar. …

Maxillary Implant Placement In A Limited Residual Bone Height, Calvin Kurnia, Jane Amelia V. Wibisono, Dominica Dian S. Sumantri

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

The limitation of residual bone height (RBH) and vital structures such as sinuses in the maxillary often make the implant placement procedure becomes complicated. Clinicians may perform sinus elevation prior to implant placement to accommodate the length of the implant fixture. Sinus elevation is an invasive procedure and complication may occur during the surgery including the most frequent complication is perforation of Schneiderian membrane.

Objectives: To discuss a comprehensive management of implant placement and its complication step by step from surgical procedures to crown placement.

Case Report: 67-year-old female patient with partial edentulism in the right maxillary region, presence of …

Interrelationship Between Orthodontics And Implantology In Anterior Aesthetic Rehabilitation: A Case Report, Adailton De Morais Cavalcante, Renata Cordeiro Teixeira Medeiros, Danilo Lopes Ferreira Lima, Saulo Ellery Santos

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

The rehabilitation of complex cases in the anterior region of the maxilla may require knowledge of several dental specialties. when dental involvement also causes bone and gingival involvement, management usually requires adjustment of gingival zenitis and bone graft to compensate for bone loss.

Objective: to discuss a case of previous orthodontic treatment for implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in the anterior region.

Case report: This case report describes a 40-year-old patient who came with the intention of extracting the tooth and installing a bridge. The implant-prosthetic treatment was performed after previous orthodontic treatment to adapt the gingiva and space.

Conclusion: The interrelationship of …

In Vivo Early Plaque Colonization On Smooth Titanium Surface, A. Carrassi, A. Sardella, L. Rimondini

Cells and Materials

Plaque development on pure titanium in a 24-hour period is described in an in vivo human model. Stents with titanium and root cementum specimens were applied to volunteers, who suspended oral hygiene procedures for 24 hours. The specimens were removed at 2, 4 and 24 hours and studied with a scanning electron microscope. A global area of 240 µm x 300 µm, composed of the sum of twelve 20 µm x 25 µm fields randomly selected, was examined for each specimen. The presence of cocci, short rods, long rods and bacterial aggregation, and bacteria density was recorded for each field. …
