  Purpose The aim of this study was to verify the reliability of a system for the fixed retention of complete maxillary prostheses supported by four implants with a follow-up of 2 years. Material and methods Patients were treated between September 2009 and December 2010 with four Straumann Bone (...)

• Crestal bone changes in macrogeometrically similar implants with the implant–abutment connection at the crestal bone level or 2.5 mm above : a prospective randomized clinical trial

  22 mars 2015, par Paul Eekeren, Ali Tahmaseb, Daniël Wismeijer
  Objective Crestal bone loss around dental implants is a criterion for success as this could prevent loss of implant and superstructure. The macrogeometry of the implant could influence bone remodelling when the implant–abutment connection is placed at crestal bone level or above. The aim of this (...)

• Effect of dental cements on peri-implant microbial community : comparison of the microbial communities inhabiting the peri-implant tissue when using different luting cements

  22 mars 2015, par Michael Korsch, Silke-Mareike Marten, Andreas Dötsch, Ruy Jáuregui, Dietmar H. Pieper, Ursula Obst
  Background Cementing dental restorations on implants poses the risk of undetected excess cement. Such cement remnants may favor the development of inflammation in the peri-implant tissue. The effect of excess cement on the bacterial community is not yet known. The aim of this study was to (...)

• Esthetic, clinical and patient-centered outcomes of immediately placed implants (Type 1) and early placed implants (Type 2) : preliminary 3-month results of an ongoing randomized controlled clinical trial

  11 mars 2015, par Guy Huynh-Ba, David J. Meister, Ashley B. Hoders, Brian L. Mealey, Michael P. Mills, Thomas W. Oates, David L. Cochran, Thomas J. Prihoda, C. Alex McMahan
  Aim The objective of the study was to compare (i) esthetic, (ii) clinical and (iii) patient-centered outcomes following immediate (Type 1) and early implant placement (Type 2). Material and methods Thirty-eight subjects needing a single extraction (premolar to premolar) were randomly allocated (...)

• Ridge preservation after ridge expansion with simultaneous guided bone regeneration : a preclinical study

  9 mars 2015, par Andres Stricker, Jonathan Fleiner, Stefan Stübinger, Henrik Fleiner, Daniel Buser, Dieter D. Bosshardt
  Objective To evaluate ridge preservation after ridge splitting with simultaneous implant placement and guided bone regeneration (GBR) in a miniature pig model. Material and Methods In miniature pigs, the mandibular premolars and first molars were extracted together with removal of the (...)
