3-D tooth movement adjacent to single anterior implants and esthetic outcome. A 14- to 20-year follow-up study.

Objectives: To report three-dimensional (3-D) movement of teeth adjacent to single-implant crowns (SICs) in the anterior maxilla and to relate the findings to patient characteristics and esthetic outcome.

Materials And Methods: 3-D movements of teeth adjacent to anterior maxillary SICs were measured in 30 patients with original SICs in function after 14-20 years. The movements were related to facial type, lower anterior facial height (LAFH), age at crown delivery, sex, the position of the implant, implant occlusion, cause of tooth loss, follow-up period, orthodontic treatment prior to implant placement, and marginal bone-level changes.

The risk for infraposition of dental implants and ankylosed teeth in the anterior maxilla related to craniofacial growth, a systematic review.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate a potential association between individuals with different craniofacial types or other exposures, and the risk of infraposition due to continued growth/eruption of adjacent teeth in the anterior maxilla.

Materials And Methods: This is a systematic review in which primary studies as well as other systematic reviews are scrutinised. A search of PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Web of science and Health technology assessment (HTA) organisations and a complementary handsearch was carried out.

A retro-prospective long-term follow-up of Brånemark single implants in the anterior maxilla in young adults. Part 1: Clinical and radiographic parameters.

Background: Single implant restorations have become the primary treatment option for young adults with missing anterior teeth. Yet, long-term studies of single-implants are limited in the literature.

Purpose: To report long-term survival, success, and complications in young adults with single-implants in the anterior maxilla.
