Marginal Bone Loss in Dental Implants
Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, providing a long term solution for the replacement of missing teeth. Despite their high success rates and functional benefits, dental implants are not devoid of complications. One of the most critical and widely studied issues is marginal bone loss (MBL), which can significantly affect the longevity and success of […]
Dental Implant Design and Implant Selection
Dental implants have revolutionized restorative dentistry, offering a predictable, long-term solution for edentulism (tooth loss). Since their modern inception in the 1960s by Per-Ingvar Brånemark, implants have evolved in implant design, materials, shape, surface topography, and surgical techniques. Today, dental implantology is an interdisciplinary field integrating prosthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, and biomaterials science. This article […]
Implant Abutment Connection: Types and Clinical Considerations
The implant abutment connection is a critical component in dental implantology, determining the success and longevity of implant-supported prostheses. This connection serves as the interface between the implant fixture embedded in the bone and the prosthetic restoration. Over the years, various designs and connection mechanisms have evolved, each offering unique advantages and challenges. This article […]
Immediate Loading Implants
Dental implants have revolutionized the field of dentistry by offering a permanent solution for missing teeth. Among the various implant techniques, immediate loading implants have gained popularity due to their efficiency and reduced treatment duration. Unlike traditional implants, which require a healing period before attaching the final prosthesis, immediate loading implants allow for immediate placement […]
Customized Abutments vs. Prefabricated Abutments
Dental implants have revolutionized restorative dentistry by providing patients with long-term solutions for missing teeth. A crucial component of dental implants is the abutment, which connects the implant fixture to the prosthetic crown. Abutments come in two main types: customized abutments and prefabricated abutments (also known as stock abutments). The choice between these two significantly […]
Bone Grafting Techniques in Dental Implant and Oral Surgeries
Dental implant surgery has become one of the most reliable methods to replace missing teeth, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits. However, one of the key prerequisites for successful dental implant placement is the presence of adequate bone volume in the jaw to support the implant. In cases where there is insufficient bone, bone grafting […]
