Prefabricated shouldered abutments enable successful restoration of molar crowns on implants.

Purpose: This retrospective study evaluated the effect of selected clinical and patient factors on survival, success, and peri-implant bone level changes of locking taper implants supporting molar crowns on Bicon's prefabricated shouldered abutments.

Methods: A total of 234 patients, who received 274 single molar crowns supported by locking taper implants were included in this retrospective study. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess overall implant survival, prostheses survival, and success.

Fiber-reinforced composite full-arch prosthetic reconstructions supported by three standard, short or extra-short implants: a two-center retrospective study.

Objectives: To evaluate the survival of implants and prostheses, and marginal bone level of fiber-reinforced composite implant supported fixed complete prostheses supported by 3 implants.

Materials And Methods: Patients with fiber-reinforced composite fixed prostheses supported by 3 standard-length, short or extra-short implants were included in this retrospective cohort study. Kaplan-Meier survival was computed for implants and prostheses.

Fiber-reinforced composite partial fixed dental prostheses supported by short or extra-short implants: A 10 year retrospective study.

Introduction: This study evaluated the 10-year survival and success of partial fixed dental prostheses (P-FDPs) fabricated with a milled fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) framework, supported by short or extra-short implants.

Methods: Patients restored with FRC P-FDPs supported by short or extra-short implants were included in this retrospective study. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the survival and success rates of the prostheses.

Antiresorptive therapy and dental implant survival: an up to 20-year retrospective cohort study in women.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of antiresorptive treatment on the survival of plateau-root form dental implants.

Materials And Methods: Patients undergoing antiresorptive therapy via oral or intravenous administration as well as patients not undergoing antiresorptive therapy and healthy control patients were included in this retrospective cohort study. In total, 1472 implants placed in 631 postmenopausal patients (M: 66.

Implants Placed in Adolescents Followed for Up to 15.5 Years: A Retrospective Case Series.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of unsplinted implant-supported single crowns placed in adolescents, ages 10 to 19 years, and followed up from 5 to 15 years.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective case series evaluated the outcomes of implant-supported single crowns placed in adolescents between June 2002 and January 2015. The patients were treated with locking-taper connection implants under a two-stage rehabilitation technique.

Draining orocutaneous fistula associated with a failing subperiosteal implant: report of a case.

The use of mandibular subperiosteal implants was first reported by Dahl in the 1940s. It was followed by a more comprehensive report by Goldberg and Gershkoff, who published the first case series in the United States. We describe a case of an orocutaneous fistula that developed secondary to a chronic infection attributed to a failing subperiosteal implant.

Extraction, immediate-load implants, impressions and final restorations in two patient visits.

Background: Since the advent of immediately loaded implants, patients have experienced shorter treatment times, reduced amount of surgical therapy, preserved gingival esthetics and the comfort and security of fixed prostheses. Practitioners have experienced less expense in the form of chair time and greater patient satisfaction.

Case Description: The authors present two cases in which, at the first clinical visit, they extracted maxillary incisors, placed hydroxyapatite-coated implants, took impressions for final restorations and stabilized the implants immediately with a fixed interim prosthesis.
