Accuracy of Digital Impressions at Varying Implant Depths: An In Vitro Study.

Purpose: Implants placed at variable depths may vary the amount of visible scannable surface of a scan body. Intraoral scanner technology uses advanced optical principles to record the surface of the scan body to accurately capture the implant position. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect implant placement depth has on the accuracy of digital implant impressions using an intraoral scanner.

Immediate Loading of Four Guided Unsplinted Narrow Implants Supporting a Maxillary Overdenture: A Minimally Invasive Approach.

Introduction: Little evidence is available on the loading protocols for implant-supported overdentures in the treatment of the edentulous maxilla. There are only a few case-reports available to document the feasibility of immediate loading for maxillary overdenture, and the majority of the publications include the use of splinted implants. This paper presents a case report of immediately loaded narrow diameter implants supporting a maxillary overdenture using Locator abutments.

Computer-Guided Surgery Using Human Allogenic Bone Ring With Simultaneous Implant Placement: A Case Report.

Introduction: The allogenic bone ring technique allows for horizontal and vertical bone augmentation with simultaneous implant placement in severely compromised sites. The aim of this report is to present a modified protocol for simultaneous placement of implant and allogenic bone ring graft using a computer-guided surgery technique.

Case Presentation: Patient's chief complaint was to replace a missing lateral incisor.

The effect of implant prosthesis complications on patient satisfaction.

Statement Of Problem: How complications regarding implant prostheses affect patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare patient satisfaction with implant restorations in patients with or without a history of complications. These data were used to determine whether implant prosthesis complications affected self-reported OHRQoL.

Prosthodontic Management of Implant Therapy: Esthetic Complications.

The essential promise of implant dentistry is the ability to imperceptibly replace missing teeth. To achieve this, careful planning, execution, and maintenance is required by the dentist and patient to maintain a long-term esthetic and functional result. Unfortunately, as a result of biological, prosthetic, and iatrogenic factors, unesthetic results can occur.
