Article Synopsis
- Discoloration of anterior teeth in young children is a cosmetic issue, and the study explores how different irrigation solutions affect hydrogen peroxide penetration during bleaching using the walking bleach technique.
- The study involved treating 50 extracted premolars with various irrigation protocols, followed by placing a fluorescent sodium perborate paste to assess peroxide penetration over three weeks.
- Results showed varying depths of peroxide penetration based on the irrigation method, with phosphoric acid leading to significantly greater penetration compared to other solutions, highlighting its effectiveness in the bleaching process.
Objectives: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcome of tapered, multithreaded implants (Tapered Screw-Vent MTX; Zimmer Dental, Inc, Carlsbad, CA) with an emphasis on periimplant crestal bone status around those placed delayed and immediately in the posterior and anterior maxilla.
Methods: Chart reviews were performed on 46 patients who had been treated with 173 implants replacing one or more missing and/or unsalvageable teeth in the maxilla. Implant placement and loading was either immediate or delayed.
