CaPO4 blasted implants inserted into iliac crest homologue frozen grafts.

In the last decade, some investigations have reported that the resorbable blast media surface (also named CaPO4 blasted implants [CaPO4-Bls]) has achieved excellent results. However, no report regarding CaPO4-Bls inserted into fresh frozen bone (FFB) is available. Thus, we planned a retrospective study on a series of CaPO4-Bls inserted into FFB to evaluate their clinical outcome.

Implants inserted in fresh-frozen bone: a retrospective analysis of 88 implants loaded 4 months after insertion.

Objective: In the previous decade, several reports have been published regarding implants inserted in autografts, but none have analyzed implants inserted in fresh-frozen bone allografts. Thus, a retrospective study was planned to verify if 4-months' delay from grafting to implant insertion is a safe period before prosthetic rehabilitation of implants placed in fresh-frozen bone allografts.

Method And Materials: Between December 2003 and December 2006, 22 patients (10 women and 12 men with a median age of 51 years) underwent grafting with horizontal augmentation without membrane and 88 implants inserted thereafter.

A 2-year follow-up study on standard length implants inserted into alveolar bone sites augmented with homografts.

Objective: In the last decade, several investigators have reported that standard length implants (SLIs) have achieved excellent results but no report regarding SLIs (i.e. SLI, length=13 mm) inserted into alveolar bone sites previously augmented with frozen bone (FB) is available.
