Comparing short implants to standard dental implants: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials with extended follow-up.

Purpose: To compare the difference of marginal level changes (MBL), implant failure (IF), biological and prosthetic complications (BC and PC), and prosthetic failure (PF) of short implants (SH) and standard implants (ST).

Materials And Methods: Electronic searches (PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov) and manual searches were performed to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating SH to ST.

Dimensional changes of peri-implant tissue following immediate flapless implant placement and provisionalization with or without xenograft in the anterior maxilla: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Dental implant therapy requires the preservation of peri-implant tissue in the cosmetic zone. Various surgical procedures have been presented, including ridge preservation, flapless method, and quick provisionalization. The goal of this research was to assess the buccal bone dimensional changes following immediate flapless implant implantation in the front maxilla, with or without xenografting.

Immediate vs Delayed Restorations of Immediately Placed Single Implants in the Anterior Maxilla: A Nonrandomized Clinical Study.

Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the radiographic, esthetic, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) between immediate and delayed restorations of immediately placed single implants in the maxillary esthetic zone.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients with immediate single dental implants in the anterior maxilla were included in this study. Afterward, they were allocated either for immediate restoration with a provisional restoration (IR: 20 patients) or for a delayed restoration (DR: 20 patients).

Comparing short dental implant and standard dental implant in terms of marginal bone level changes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Purpose: To compare short implants (SH; 4-8 mm) to standard implants (ST; longer than 8 mm) in edentulous jaws, evaluating pri-implant marginal bone levels (MBLs) changes, implant failures (IFs), complications, and prosthesis failures (PFs).

Materials And Methods: Electronic searches were conducted through the PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov to locate all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SH to ST.

Comparing 4-mm dental implants to longer implants placed in augmented bones in the atrophic posterior mandibles: One-year results of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Short implants have been proposed as an alternative for the rehabilitation of atrophic edentulous areas.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of 4-mm implants vs longer implants in the atrophic posterior mandibles.

Materials And Methods: Eleven patients with bilateral atrophic mandibles were rehabilitated with two to four 4-mm implants and 10 or 8-mm long implants in augmented bone using Guided Bone Regeneration procedure.

Comparison of Short and Standard Implants in the Posterior Mandible: A 3D Analysis Using Finite Element Method.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze functional stresses around short and long implant-supported prostheses with different crown heights.

Materials And Methods: Four three-dimensional (3D) models were designed with SolidWorks 2015. In models 1 (control) and 2, three dental implants (second premolar 4.

Comparing Short Dental Implants to Standard Dental Implants: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

Background: Short dental implants have been proposed as a simpler, cheaper, and faster alternative for the rehabilitation of atrophic edentulous areas to avoid the disadvantages of surgical techniques for increasing bone volume.

Objective: This review will compare short implants (4 to 8 mm) to standard implants (larger than 8 mm) in edentulous jaws, evaluating on the basis of marginal bone loss (MBL), survival rate, complications, and prosthesis failure.

Methods: We will electronically search for randomized controlled trials comparing short dental implants to standard dental implants in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.

IPS-Empress II inlay-retained fixed partial denture reinforced with zirconia bar: three-dimensional finite element and in-vitro studies.

Objective: This study evaluated von Mises stress distribution, flexural strength and interface micrographs of IPS-Empress II (IPS) inlay-retained fixed partial dentures (IRFPD) reinforced with Zirconia bars (Zb).

Materials And Methods: In the Finite element analysis, six three-dimensional models of IRFPD were designed using Solid Works 2006. Five models were reinforced with different Zb and a model without Zb was considered as a control.

Comparison of the microshear bond strength of feldspathic porcelain to enamel with three luting resins.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare microshear bond strength of three different luting resins using a new microshear method closely simulating clinical condition.

Methods: Thirty 1-mm-thick slices of intact human first molars and thirty 0.8-mm-diameter feldspathic porcelain rods were etched by 37% phosphoric acid for enamels and 9.
