A digital technique for cloning the emergence profile of the interim to the definitive implant-supported restoration.

The subgingival contour of implant-supported restorations is key to ensuring the long-term health of the peri-implant bone and soft tissues. This report describes a step-by-step technique used to accurately clone the emergence profile of the interim crown for the definitive implant-supported restoration.

A Systematic Review of Clinical Outcomes on Patients Rehabilitated with Complete-Arch Fixed Implant-Supported Prostheses According to the Time of Loading.

Purpose: To perform a systematic review on studies assessing clinical outcomes in patients rehabilitated with complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses according to the time of loading.

Materials And Methods: Data obtained from patient and clinical outcomes, as implant failure, success rate, survival rate, biological complications, technical complications, mechanical complications, and marginal bone loss, were included on this review. The search was performed on databases PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane.

Accuracy comparison of guided surgery for dental implants according to the tissue of support: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To systematically assess the current dental literature comparing the accuracy of computer-aided implant surgery when using different supporting tissues (tooth, mucosa, or bone).

Material And Methods: Two reviewers searched PubMed (1972 to January 2015) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Central) (2002 to January 2015). For the assessment of accuracy, studies were included with the following outcome measures: (i) angle deviation, (ii) deviation at the entry point, and (iii) deviation at the apex.
