Passivity of Fit of a Novel Prefabricated Implant-Supported Mandibular Full-Arch Reconstruction: A Comparative In Vitro Study.

Purpose: To quantify the strain development of a new prefabricated implant-supported mandibular full-arch reconstruction.

Materials And Methods: Five resin models reflecting edentulous mandibles were each restored with three interforaminal implants and prefabricated frameworks with a novel compensation mechanism, cast frameworks, and computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-fabricated frameworks. Strains were recorded during superstructure fixation.

Clinical evaluation of the zygoma implant: 3-year follow-up at 16 clinics.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical investigation was to evaluate the treatment outcome with zygoma implants with regard to implant survival, patient satisfaction, and function of prosthesis replacement after 3 years.

Patients And Methods: The treatment outcome of 76 patients treated with 145 zygoma fixtures at 16 centers was evaluated with regard to implant survival. Status of peri-implant mucosa and amount of plaque were registered annually.

A clinical evaluation of the Zygoma fixture: one year of follow-up at 16 clinics.

Purpose: To evaluate treatment outcome with Zygoma fixtures (Nobel Biocare, Göteborg, Sweden) with regard to fixture survival, patient satisfaction, and function of prosthesis replacement.

Materials And Methods: The treatment outcome of 76 patients treated with 145 Zygoma fixtures at 16 centers was evaluated. Patient's and dentist's evaluations of the functional and aesthetic outcome of the treatment were assessed at delivery of prosthesis and at the 1-year follow-up visit.
