Implant Rehabilitation According to the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT): A Medium-Term Retrospective Study.

Clinical records of patients who underwent implant-supported rehabilitation according to the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) principles were retrospectively analyzed. Records of 189 nonconsecutive patients who received 502 implants were reviewed. At the last follow-up visit (occurring on average 5.

Prevalence of Peri-Implantitis: A Multi-Centered Cross-Sectional Study on 248 Patients.

The aim of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence of peri-implantitis and to assess its association with several patient- and implant-related factors. Patients with at least one implant, who came for a recall visit to one of the four centers over a period of five months, were enrolled. Presence of peri-implantitis (defined as bleeding on probing, exudate/suppuration, bone loss > 0.

The Karabo distributed control system.

The Karabo distributed control system has been developed to address the challenging requirements of the European X-ray Free Electron Laser facility, including complex and custom-made hardware, high data rates and volumes, and close integration of data analysis for distributed processing and rapid feedback. Karabo is a pluggable, distributed application management system forming a supervisory control and data acquisition environment as part of a distributed control system. Karabo provides integrated control of hardware, monitoring, data acquisition and data analysis on distributed hardware, allowing rapid control feedback based on complex algorithms.

Giant reed genotypes from temperate and arid environments show different response mechanisms to drought.

Studies at the root level and how the root-shoot interactions may influence the whole crop performance of giant reed (Arundo donax L.) under limited water conditions are largely missing. In the present study, we illustrate the effects of water stress on some phenotypic traits at the root-shoot levels of two giant reed genotypes (from Morocco and Northern Italy) that were reported to have different adaptive hydraulic stem conductivities despite the limited genetic variability of the species.

Assessment of Long-Term Survival of Immediately Loaded Tilted Implants Supporting a Maxillary Full-Arch Fixed Prosthesis.

Purpose: To analyze the long-term outcome of fixed prostheses supported by six implants, two of which were tilted, placed in the maxilla and immediately loaded more than 10 years earlier.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of implants placed between May 29, 2003 and February 12, 2005 and used to support immediately loaded fixed dental prostheses in the maxilla was conducted. The features of failed implants were analyzed.

Evaluation of accuracy and precision of a new guided surgery system: a multicenter clinical study.

Computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) guides for surgery are becoming a widespread tool in implant dentistry. This study sought to evaluate the accuracy and precision of a new guided surgery system. Twenty-five patients were treated in eight centers, and a total of 117 implants were placed using CAD/CAM surgical guides supported by bone, mucosa, and/or teeth.

Prevention and treatment of postoperative infections after sinus elevation surgery: clinical consensus and recommendations.

Introduction. Maxillary sinus surgery is a reliable and predictable treatment option for the prosthetic rehabilitation of the atrophic maxilla. Nevertheless, these interventions are not riskless of postoperative complications with respect to implant positioning in pristine bone.

Multicenter retrospective analysis of 201 consecutively placed camlog dental implants.

Camlog tube-in-tube implants were introduced several years ago. This multicenter retrospective analysis evaluated the success rate of Root-Line and Screw-Line tube-in-tube implants in daily use. A total of 201 implants were placed in 96 patients with different indications and implantation procedures.

Hyaluronic acid to improve healing of surgical incisions in the oral cavity: a pilot multicentre placebo-controlled randomised clinical trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronic acid to improve the healing of surgical incisions in the oral cavity.

Materials And Methods: Six Italian private practices participated in this trial, each centre provided 12 patients. After suturing, patients were randomised to receive either a single application of 0.
