A Screwless and Cementless Technique for the Restoration of Single‐tooth Implants: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract

The clinical outcome of this screwless and cementless system for single implant restorations compares favorably with the experience of screw- and cement-retained single implant restorations within the observation period.

Abutment Design for Implant‐Supported Indirect Composite Molar Crowns: Reliability and Fractography

“…The survival rate was 98.7%, and color stability did not seem to be an issue affecting esthetics during this short-period evaluation. 26 In agreement with this failure mode, the magnitude of the fractures occurring within the range of maximal bite force in the molar area (approximately 500 N) 15,27 was also minor, as shown in our imaging results; however, failures occurring at higher load levels involved a larger area of the fatigued cusp. From a clinical perspective, these larger failures could still be repaired with an indirect composite and remain in function without the need of replacement.…”

Probability of survival of implant-supported metal ceramic and CAD/CAM resin nanoceramic crowns

“…In addition, cementation of both systems was made with a resin cement and retrievability DENTAL-2566; No. of Pages 10 d e n t a l m a t e r i a l s x x x ( 2 0 1 5 ) xxx.e1-xxx.e10 xxx.e9 is still possible considering that it is accomplished by removal of both crown and abutment from implant, rather than the crown from the abutment [52,53].…”

The effect of opposing structures, natural teeth vs. implants on crestal bone levels surrounding single‐tooth implants

“…Patients were followed prospectively from 2004 to 2007. The characteristics of this cohort have been previously published (Urdaneta et al 2008(Urdaneta et al , 2010(Urdaneta et al , 2011(Urdaneta et al , 2012, and thus will be described only briefly here. Each subject was given a detailed description of the procedures and required to sign inform consent forms.…”

“…Study variables were grouped into the following categories: biologically relevant variables (gender and age), stress-related variables and other clinically relevant variables. The guidelines for these variables have been described previously (Urdaneta et al 2008(Urdaneta et al , 2010(Urdaneta et al , 2011(Urdaneta et al , 2012. The structure of the opposing occlusal contact [tooth, implant, removable partial (RPD) or complete denture (CD)] and the type of restorative material present on the opposing supporting cusp on the day of crown insertion (tooth structure, ceramic, metal, acrylic/ composite resin) were documented.…”
