Materials And Methods: A total of 493 patients (240 men and 253 women) with a mean age of 45.1 years at implant surgery were enrolled at 6 research centers after being screened for exclusion criteria.

A four-year retrospective study of 3i threaded implants.

The use of osseointegrated implants can be considered as one of the most productive developments in dentistry during this century. Although initially introduced for use in fully edentulous patients, their present widespread use in nearly all forms of tooth loss, as well as for the rehabilitation of maxillofacial prosthetics and in orthodontics, has significantly expanded the realm of restorative dentistry. The present multicentre retrospective study evaluates the results of 327 patients rehabilitated with 1047, 3i (Implant Innovations Inc.

The efficacy of two-stage titanium implants as orthodontic anchorage in the preprosthodontic correction of third molars in adults--a report of three cases.

Orthodontic movement of teeth is often required to satisfactorily treat a variety of oral rehabilitation problems. Considerable limitations in the clinical application of orthodontic treatment may result from the lack of teeth suitable for anchorage. Three patients with edentulous posterior segments are presented illustrating how implants can be utilized for preprosthodontic correction of impacted third molars rendering them suitable as bridge abutments.
