Background: The present retrospective study investigates implant retention time in patients who had experienced multiple implant failures and explores possible risk factors.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent placement of at least two implants and experienced failure of two or more implants between 2004 and 2022 were included in the study population. Both patient- and implant-related risk factors, including age, sex, medical history, medication intake, smoking, alcohol consumption, implant properties and anatomical and surgical factors, were evaluated.
Aim: To compare implant survival and complication rates between shorter and standard-length implants with sinus augmentation and restored with single crowns, at 10 years of loading.
Materials And Methods: One-hundred and one patients (137 implants) with a ridge height of 5-7 mm in the posterior maxilla were randomly assigned to two treatment modalities: shorter implants (6 mm) (group short [GS]) or standard-length implants (11-15 mm) with sinus grafting (group graft [GG]). Following the insertion of final restorations, patients were regularly recalled for up to 10 years.
Article Synopsis
- An estimated 500,000 cancer survivors of reproductive age in the U.S. face long-term side effects from cancer treatments, including a significant focus on enhancing quality of life in survivorship.
- Infertility affects 12% of female childhood cancer survivors and decreases pregnancy chances by 40% in young adults aged 18-39, while other underdiagnosed gynecological issues also impact their quality of life.
- A special edition of articles explores various aspects of reproductive health in cancer survivorship, addressing topics like fertility, sexual health, and additional gynecologic consequences of cancer treatments.
Aim: The term "buccal implant position" is commonly used but lacks a precise definition and missing a reference point. Considering its major impact on peri-implantitis and esthetic failures the purpose of this study was to find a correlation between bucco-palatal implant positioning and the midfacial soft tissue level of implant crowns using newly defined Emergence-points.
Materials And Methods: Patients with unilateral single-tooth implant crowns in the region of the central or lateral maxillary incisor were included in this study.
Purpose: The aim of this pilot exploratory cohort study was to assess the value of buccal augmentation in immediate implant placement and immediate restoration of anterior teeth in maxillae with missing buccal lamellar bone with regard to esthetic parameters, as well as soft and hard tissue level changes.
Materials And Methods: This study compared three groups of 10 patients each with immediate implant placement and immediate restoration in the anterior maxilla: (1) patients with partially to totally missing buccal bone with simultaneous augmentation with bovine collagen (test group augmented [TGA]); (2) patients with partially to totally missing buccal bone without augmentation (test group nonaugmented [TNA]); and (3) patients with intact buccal lamellar bone (control group [CG]). The pink esthetic score (PES) and the course of the peri-implant bone level after 1, 3, and 12 months were used as assessment criteria.
