The relationship between the secondary implant stability quotient and oxidized implant-related factors: A retrospective study.

Objective: The present retrospective study aimed to determine the relationship between the secondary implant stability quotient and different parameters related to an oxidized implant.

Methods: A total of 135 patients (305 oxidized implants) were included. Implant-related factors (length, diameter, surgical and loading protocols, grafting, insertion torque, and primary stability) were used for comparisons and linear regression analyses, using secondary ISQ as the dependent variable.

Microleakage and Bacterial Adhesion with Three Restorative Materials Used to Seal Screw-access Channels of Implant Abutments: An Study.

Background: Proper sealing of screw-access channels against microbial microleakage is advisable for the long-term success of screw-retained implant prosthesis.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the bacterial adhesion and microleakage with three restorative materials, namely, composite resin, acrylic resin and bis-acryl, that are used to cover the access channels of screw-retained implant prostheses, using polytetrafluoroethylene tape as a spacer material.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 18 titanium straight abutments (Hex-lock Zimmer) were torqued into implant analogs, which were then subdivided into three groups.

Management of Failing Dental Implants following Orofacial Trauma: A Case Report.

Dental implant failure can be caused by several biomechanical and biological factors. Management of failed multiple adjacent dental implants can be challenging, as the amount of bone loss around these implants is often high. This necessitates the need to restore the supporting bone and replace the failed implants with new implants in optimal positions and with a favorable dental prosthetic option.
