Randomized controlled trial comparing immediate loading with conventional loading using cone-anchored implant-supported screw-retained removable prostheses: A 2-year follow-up clinical trial

“…The participants in the present study reported an increase in quality of life. Recently, Yamada et al 3 published a prospective clinical study of immediate loading in the edentulous maxilla. They reported a clinically relevant improvement in oral health-related quality of life.…”

“…

Osseointegrated dental implants can provide edentulous patients with stability and retention of their maxillary prostheses 1,2 and improved quality of life. [3][4][5][6] Different mechanisms, such as bar and stud attachments, are available to connect the prosthesis to the implants. 7,8 An additional connection option is the implant-supported telescope and cone-anchored overdentures (OD).

Chitosán más clorhexidina (Bexident®Post) en el control del dolor y la inflamación posoperatoria en implantología oral: estudio piloto

“…En la literatura se refleja que el dolor asociado a la técnica, todo y que se lesionan los tejidos orales para su inserción es discreto (19), dependiendo entre otros aspectos de la predisposición del paciente frente al mismo (20). Por otro lado, es frecuente que en implantología, al igual que en otras técnicas quirúrgicas orales, se utilice un antiséptico de manera rutinaria (21).…”

Flapless Dental Implant: Contemporary Trends in Literature Coverage

“…In recent implant dentistry, computer-assisted surgery (CAS) is becoming more popular and achieves prosthetically driven implant placement [14] CAS was first introduced by Van Steenberghe et al [ 15,16] The key to computer planning is transferring the planning to the patient using a surgical template that allows placement of the implant directly through the tissue without the reflection of the flap [17][18][19] Furthermore, immediate restoration is possible because of precise fit, excellent primary stability achieved, and the ability to make a pre-implant model [20] This procedure allows restoratively driven implant placement and restoration to provide a more natural environment for soft tissue formation [21,22]. Nevertheless this approach will be promising future for esthetic zone areas without any intervention for alveolar bone exposure or soft tissue reflection.…”
