The Clinical and Radiologic Outcomes of Early Loaded Implants After 5 Years of Service.

Purpose: To evaluate the 5-year results of the clinical and radiographic outcomes of three types of early loaded implants.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five implants were placed in the posterior mandible or maxilla in 30 patients. Three types of implants (Straumann SLActive, Astra OsseoSpeed, and Thommen Implant System) were used.

Two-body wear of occlusal splint materials against different antagonists.

Background: This study aimed to demonstrate that the material of the occlusal splint can be chosen according to the needs of individual patients and contribute to the knowledge of the wear rate of these materials.

Methods: In this study, four occlusal splint materials (Sr Ivocap Heat Cured, Valplast, SR Ivocap Elastomer and Eclipse) and three antagonists (natural tooth enamel, inCoris TZI and IPS e.max Press ceramic materials) were used.

Retrospective Analysis of Lithium Disilicate Laminate Veneers Applied by Experienced Dentists: 10-Year Results.

Purpose: To report on the 10-year clinical treatment outcomes for a strictly applied clinical protocol for pressable lithium disilicate glass-ceramic laminate veneers (LDLVs) placed by two experienced dentists.

Materials And Methods: A 10-year follow-up assessment of 364 LDLVs placed in 41 patients was undertaken with the clinical criteria color/esthetic match of the porcelain surface, chipping and fracture occurrence, marginal discoloration, and integrity, assessed using the modified United States Public Health Service scoring system.

Results: After 10 years, the survival rate was 97.

Clinical performance of pressable glass-ceramic veneers after 5, 10, 15, and 20 years: A retrospective case series study.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term clinical performance and survival rate of pressable lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic veneers (LDSVs).

Materials And Methods: A total of 413 LDSVs were bonded to anterior and posterior teeth by three experienced clinicians between 1998 and 2012. The LDSVs were examined for color/ esthetic match of the glass-ceramic surface (esthetic evaluation), fracture rate, marginal discoloration (staining of the luting cement), and marginal integrity (including caries, clinical evaluation).

Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Early Loaded Maxillary Anterior Implants: Three-Year Follow-up.

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiologic results up to 3 years in patients treated with early loading of anterior implants supporting single-tooth all-ceramic restorations. Twenty-four patients were treated with 29 screw-type implants in the anterior maxilla. The implants were evaluated by clinical and radiographic parameters.
