The mean difference in accuracy between both implantation modalities at the implants bases was 0.72 mm (range: 0.16–1.17 mm, SD: 0.45). The mean difference in accuracy between both modalities at the implants tips was 0.46 mm (range: 0.16–1.23 mm. SD: 0.49). Although full guided implantation showed a generally higher accuracy (mean tip: 1.54 mm, range: [...]

I am a dental technician and completed this 8-unit implant supported fixed partial denture with implant abutments in #5,6 [maxillary right first premolar and canine; 14,13] and 11, 12 [maxillary left canine and first premolar; 23, 24] with pontics in #7-10 [maxillary right central and lateral incisors and maxillary left central and lateral incisors; [...]

I placed an implant on #13 [maxillary left second premolar; 25] about a year ago without any complications. The implant appeared to be fully integrated without any signs of disease. The abutment screw is torqued down completely and is as solid as a rock. Radiographically all signs are normal. [...]

If you have any tooth missing in your mouth, then you must have been advised by your dentist you go for the dental implant surgery. There are a no. of other treatments are available for the same, but still the dentists advise you to go for the dental implant, which is costlier than all the [...]

I have treatment planned one of my patients for implant supported zirconia crowns and bridges. One issue that has been raised by some of my colleagues is the advisability of using titanium alloy abutments under the zirconia crowns and bridges. Some feel that the best results will be achieved by using ceramic abutments [...]

I have heard from my colleagues and in lecture courses that there are new techniques for extracting teeth that do minimal damage to the surrounding bone. This is supposed to aid in the immediate installation of implants. The more bone that is conserved, the greater is the likelihood of attaining primary stability. I have seen [...]

The following images show a clinical case of the lower jaw. The patient received two IMZ dental implants in region 044, 045 in 1994 which came with a partly removable bridge. In 2006 the patient wished to receive a fixed provision and strictly rejected augmentation procedures which made the application of the Q-Implant GIP implant [...]

This 60-year old female complains that her bridge will not stay cemented on her implants. The implants were placed three years ago. The bridge was re-cemented a number of times. She has recently re-cemented the bridge herself with superglue. She has a lower removable partial. Recurrent decay exists under the crowns on 6, 11, and [...]

I have a 65 year old female who presents with extensive mandibular fixed partial dentures which are failing. I have already extracted several teeth. She will eventually have an edentulous mandible. It appears as though I will have adequate bone volume and bone height for a number of implant configurations and treatment options. What do [...]
