Clinical Relevance of Bone Density Values from CT Related to Dental Implant Stability: A Retrospective Study.

Purpose: The majority of the techniques used to assess the primary implant stability are subjective and empirical and can be used during or after the surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the bone density prior to surgery, in order to give recommendations to the clinician about the best surgical technique and the type of implant which is needed.

Materials And Methods: A surgeon operated on 75 patients for 269 implants over the period 2010-2014.

Preserving soft tissue after placing implants in fresh extraction sockets in the maxillary esthetic zone and a prosthetic template for interim crown fabrication: a prospective study.

Statement Of Problem: The technique of immediate implant placement is said to have success rates similar to those of implantation into a healed socket. An implant-supported restoration in an esthetic area must achieve a harmonious balance of functional, esthetic, and biologic imperatives to be considered effective.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to assess the height of the interproximal gingival papillae adjacent to immediate implants with immediate loading.

Computer guided implantology accuracy and complications.

The computer-based method allows the computerized planning of a surgical implantology procedure, using computed tomography (CT) of the maxillary bones and prosthesis. This procedure, however, is not error-free, unless the operator has been well trained and strictly follows the protocol. A 70-year-old woman whom was edentulous asked for a lower jaw implant-supported prosthesis.

The use of a prosthetic template to maintain the papilla in the esthetic zone for immediate implant placement by means of a radiographic procedure.

Implant placement in the esthetic zone requires precise preoperative diagnosis and treatment planning combined with excellent clinical skills. One of the most important factors needed to achieve an optimal esthetic outcome, in addition to the 3-dimensional (3-D) positioning of the dental implant, is to maintain or regenerate the interproximal papilla. This article describes a technique to fabricate a template that includes important aspects of rehabilitation in this area.
