Preventive contamination with of the implant-abutment connection: an study.

The aim of this study is to preventively contaminate the abutment-fixture connection (AFC) with , to evaluate the presence of micro leaks in different types of implant-abutment connections, by measuring the concentration of , in the sulcular fluid over time. This microorganism produces the Reuterine, an antibiotic which counteracts the development of other microbial species. Fourteen biphasic implants were placed on 10 patients (3 women; 7 men; mean age 55.

A new implant-abutment connection for bacterial microleakage prevention: an study.

Purpose: The aim of our study is to evaluate the ability of a new type of implant (Konus Implant System®, Industrie biomediche e farmaceutiche, Italy) to isolate the internal of an implant-abutment connection from the external environment.

Materials And Methods: To identify the capability of the implant to protect the internal space from the external environment, the passage of genetically modified Escherichia coli across implant-abutment interface was evaluated. Implants were immerged in a bacterial culture for twenty-four hours and then bacteria amount was measured inside implant-abutment interface with Real-time PCR.

Immediate loading implants: review of the critical aspects.

Purpose: Modern dentistry have witnessed, a rapid and continuing evolution. Concerning the implant-rehabilitation protocols, they have been redefined in order to satisfy patient's increasing expectations in terms of comfort, aesthetic and shorter treatment period. The purpose of this review is to explore the concept of implant immediate loading and the indications for clinical practice.

Post extractive implant: evaluation of the critical aspects.

Purpose: Nowadays, implant supported prosthetic rehabilitation is a reliable procedure to replace compromised or untreatable teeth. The purpose of this review is to explore the concept of post extractive implant and the indications for clinical practice through an analysis of recent studies in the literature. All the main factors that could influence the outcome of this treatment will also be considered.

Computer-guided implant insertion in a patient with impacted maxillary canines: case report.

The use of minimally invasive surgical techniques undoubtedly represents a huge advantage for both the clinician and the patient. This case report shows the possibility of making an implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in an upper jaw in a patient who presented dental elements 1.3 and 2.
