Evaluation of the success of predicted dental changes with clear-aligner treatment: A pilot study.

Objective: This pilot study concerned evaluation of the success of predicted dental changes in patients presenting with Class I malocclusions who were submitted to treatment aligners, using the superimposition.

Methods: The digital models were superimposed and analyzed using 3DSlicer 5.0 software.

Influence of pain duration and severity on oral health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction during adult treatment with clear aligners.

Background: This study aims to compare the impact of pain on quality of life and patient satisfaction during treatment with aligners.

Methods: Ninety-four subjects in active treatment were invited to answer self-reported questions concerning pain severity and duration, occurrence of other signs and symptoms, and level of satisfaction with their treatment. Also, the OHIP-14 questionnaire was applied to assess patients' OHRQoL.

Comparison of sinusitis rate after sinus lift procedure and zygomatic implant surgery: a meta-analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the reported sinusitis occurrence after the sinus lift procedure and zygomatic implant placement.

Methods: This meta-analysis has been registered at PROSPERO. Studies were searched on six databases.

Clinical and radiographic outcomes of maxillary lateral incisors rehabilitation using Morse taper connection extra-narrow implants at 12-month follow-up: A case report.

Narrow-diameter implants (≤3.5 mm) have been proposed to address the challenge of implant placement in cases of insufficient bone quantity, thin alveolar crest, and small cervical diameter teeth replacement The aim of this study is to report one-year outcomes of extra-narrow implant rehabilitation of maxillary lateral incisors, due to agenesis, in a young adult that presented sites with reduced mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions. A 26-year-old male patient in need of fixed-implant supported prostheses due to the absence of permanent maxillary lateral incisors and with limited space, was submitted to surgery to receive two 2.

Influence of risk factors on the long-term survival of oral rehabilitation with extra-narrow implants: a retrospective study.

Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively collect clinical data to evaluate the influence of possible risk factors on the long-term success of implant treatment with extra-narrow (2.9 mm diameter) implants in a daily dental practice setting.

Methodology: Data were collected from records of patients who received at least one extra-narrow implant from 2012 to 2017, regarding implant survival, prosthesis survival, patient characteristics, and implant characteristics.

Using the Digital Flow to Increase Efficiency in Complex Partial Rehabilitation with Dental Implants.

Background: This report presents a clinical case in which the CAD-CAM technology was applied to optimize a complex partial rehabilitation with implant-supported prostheses of a patient with several functional and aesthetic issues. . A 40-year-old patient with several complaints due to the absence of multiple teeth and great dissatisfaction regarding his oral health was referred to a Dental College (Curitiba, Brazil).

Clinical and radiographic success of injection-molded 2-piece zirconia implants submitted to immediate loading: A 12-month report of two cases.

This case report describes the treatment of two patients who presented with single edentulous sites in the region of upper premolars and were rehabilitated through the placement of injection-molded 2-piece zirconia implants and immediate single crowns. Three months after surgery, definitive prostheses were confectioned through digital workflow. Both patients were followed for 12 months during which clinical and radiographic implant success were observed, concerning implant stability, absence of peri-implantitis signs, complete implant osseointegration, good marginal bone-level maintenance, and excellent soft tissue esthetics.

Factors influencing implant and prosthesis survival in zygomatic implant-supported fixed rehabilitation: a retrospective study.

Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate mid-term implant and prosthesis survival in patients with edentulous atrophic maxillae submitted to zygomatic implant-supported fixed rehabilitation and to identify possible related risk factors.

Methods: Data were collected from records of patients with edentulous atrophic maxillae, in good general health and who were rehabilitated by means of acrylic resin full-arch screw-retained prosthesis supported by at least one zygomatic implant, between the years of 2006-2017. Implant and prosthesis survival rates were calculated.

Retrospective Clinical Study of 453 Novel Tapered Implants Placed in All Bone Types: Survival Rate Analysis Up to 2 Years of Follow-Up.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to report the survival rate of a novel hybrid hydrophilic dental implant design for all bone types.

Materials And Methods: This study evaluated the data collected from patients who received at least one implant to support a full-arch, partial, or single-crown dental rehabilitation in the maxilla or mandible. Implant survival rate was evaluated according to the clinical area and bone type, loading protocol, implant length and diameter, and placement torque.
