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 […]
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 […]
Primary Stability of Dental Implants
Dental implants have revolutionized the field of dentistry, offering a predictable and long-term solution for tooth loss. However, the success of dental implants depends on various factors, among which primary stability holds a pivotal role. Primary stability refers to the mechanical stability of the implant immediately after placement, which is crucial for osseointegration—the biological process […]
Abutment Screw Loosening in Dental Implants
Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, offering a reliable and long-term solution for tooth replacement. They consist of three primary components: the implant fixture (placed in the jawbone), the abutment (which connects the implant to the prosthesis), and the prosthetic crown or denture. While implant success rates are high, one of the most common complications […]
Bisphosphonates and Their Impact on Dental Implants
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are a class of medications widely used for the prevention and treatment of various bone-related conditions, such as osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, and metastatic bone disease. These drugs work by inhibiting bone resorption, a process mediated by osteoclasts, thereby increasing bone density and reducing the risk of fractures. While bisphosphonates are highly effective for […]
Implant Success Rates: A Comprehensive Analysis
The advancement of dental implantology has revolutionized oral rehabilitation, offering a reliable solution for edentulism. Understanding the success rate of dental implants is paramount to clinical decision making and patient counseling. This article explores the concept of implant success rates, distinguishes between success and survival rates, and provides a synthesis of current academic literature on […]
