Background: The objective of this study was to measure two parameters involved in tri-dimensional implant plan‑ ning: the position of the buccal and palatal bone wall and the palatal thickness. Methods: Cone beam computed ...

According to classic Hirschfeld studies, the first teeth to be lost are the first and second maxillary molars. After the teeth are extracted and the alveolar process is developed, the maxillary sinus is reabsorbed and ...

Se realiza un seguimiento clínico y microbiológico durante dos años de 20 pacientes (2228 zonas) con periodontitis crónica del adulto evaluando la respuesta al raspado y alisado radicular. Se observa una recuperación de ...

Implants inserted in the posterior maxilla frequently need additional surgery for successful bone augmentation. One of the most common procedures for this is transalveolar sinus floor elevation. There are di erent protocols ...

Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) requires abutment disconnection to monitor implant stability. To overcome this limitation, an experimental transepithelial abutment was designed to allow a SmartPeg to be screwed onto ...

The stability and integrity of the abutment-implant connection, by means of a screw, is fallible from the moment the prosthetic elements are joined and is dependent on the applied preload, wear of the components and ...

In order to apply the “one-abutment–one-time” concept, we evaluated the possibility of measuring resonance frequency analysis (RFA) on the abutment. This trial aimed to compare the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) values ...

Several dental implants are commercially available and new prototype design are constantly being fabricated. Nevertheless, it is still unclear what parameters of the design affect most the osseointegration of dental implants. ...

Background: Assess the reliability (by means of reproducibility and repeatability) of the PenguinRFA system, analyse the ISQ values of different implant types and correlate the ISQ with the insertion torque during the ...
