Purpose: This study was designed to compare radiographically the effect of microthread on the coronal portion of the fixture on marginal bone level (MBL) around immediately placed dental implants in human subjects.
Material And Methods: Forty-one roughened surface screw type Dentium oral implants (Dentium) were inserted in fresh extraction sockets of the anterior segment of maxilla of 30 patients. The implants were selected randomly using either microthread design on coronal portion of the fixture (Implantium) (test group) or without microthread thread design (Superline) (control group). MBL was measured using digital subtraction radiography technique after 3, 6, and 12 months.
Results: At month 3, the microthread groups have been associated with more marginal bone loss than the control group (P = 0.04). At months 6 and 12, both groups had comparable bone levels (P = 0.21).
Conclusion: The microthread design of the implant collar could not have a positive effect in maintaining the MBL around implants placed in fresh extraction socket in anterior maxilla.

Aim: Insertion of dental implants causes bone deformation and induces residual bone compression stress, which can lead to implant failure if the bone loss threshold is exceeded. The current literature about bone stress is restricted to computer simulations and implant primary stability measurements after installation. This work measures the torque and deformation during implant insertion testing.

Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the impact of titanium (Ti) base-supported single-implant restorations on peri-implant conditions.
Materials And Methods: Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comprising 274 implants met the inclusion criteria and were chosen for data analysis. A random-effects model was employed for the meta-analysis.

Reducing crestal bone loss (CBL) around implants allows for soft tissue stability and long-term success. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the extent of CBL in implants placed with the implant shoulder at the equi-crestal level and 2 mm below the alveolar ridge at 2, 12, 36, and 60 months. A split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted by selecting subjects with Kennedy Class IV partial edentulism of the lower jaw.

Aim: The aim of this two dimensional (2D) finite element analysis study was to evaluate the influence of implant design (step and tapered) and length on stress distribution at bone implant interface, when placed in maxillary posterior bone under immediate loading protocol.
Materials And Methods: 2D finite element models were developed to simulate the two types of implant designs, i.e.
