Clinical and Radiologic Experience with Moderately Rough Oxidized Titanium Implants: Up to 10 Years of Retrospective Follow-up

Immediate Loading of Fixed Complete Denture Prosthesis Supported by 4–8 Implants Placed Using Guided Surgery: A 5‐Year Prospective Study on 66 Patients with 356 Implants

“…Despite that the current literature is growing, the long‐term predictability of immediate implant placed in the atrophic mandible and maxilla by using computer‐assisted template‐based surgery is still pending, and limited scientific evidence comparing the position of the post‐operative implants to the preoperative planning on patients with the voxel‐based matching technique is available. Moreover, substantial deviations in three‐dimensional directions have been reported in the literature between virtual planning and the final intraoral implant position . Although, in the present study, such deviations did not produce any clinically relevant drawback, clinicians should take into consideration the differences reported in the literature between virtually planned implant position and actual position of implants in the patient's mouth, in order to plan implant placement procedures with adequate safety.…”

“…Recently, new implant designs and surfaces have been introduced to decrease the risk of early failure of immediately loaded implants . The osteotome effect of the tapered implant body design improves the likelihood of adequate primary stability needed to ensure immediate implant placement and loading . Furthermore, the under‐preparation of the implant site have been proposed to achieve high primary stability even in poorly dense bone …”

“…[11][12][13][14][15] The osteotome effect of the tapered implant body design improves the likelihood of adequate primary stability needed to ensure immediate implant placement and loading. 16 Furthermore, the under-preparation of the implant site have been proposed to achieve high primary stability even in poorly dense bone. 13 Computer-guided implant protocols may help clinicians to perform implant therapy avoiding elevation of large flaps or eliminating them at all, causing less pain and discomfort to patients.…”

Crestal bone loss and periimplant inflammatory parameters around zirconia implants: A systematic review

“…However, a possible risk of bias in the studies assessed by Depprich et al 14 cannot be disregarded. It is well known that the maintenance of crestal bone levels plays an important role in the long-term survival and success of dental implants, [15][16][17] as does an inflammation-free periimplant soft tissue environment. 18,19 However, certain parameters such as plaque index (PLI), bleeding index (BI) bleeding on probing (BOP), periimplant pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment loss (CAL) were not addressed in the study.…”
