Introduction Peri-implantitis is a significant and increasingly recognized complication in the field of implant dentistry. As the global prevalence of dental implants rises, so does the occurrence of peri-implant diseases, with peri-implantitis being the most severe form. Characterized by inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and progressive bone loss around the implant, peri-implantitis poses a serious…
Read MoreIntroduction Implant dentistry has undergone significant advancements over the years, leading to improved outcomes and patient satisfaction. One notable development is the concept of implant platform switching. Platform switching has revolutionized dental implantology by addressing one of the primary concerns in implant therapy: crestal bone loss. This technique has gained considerable attention for its potential…
Read MoreIntroduction Occlusion refers to the way the teeth come together when the jaws close. Proper occlusion is critical for the longevity and success of dental implants. It encompasses the alignment, contact, and interaction of the teeth during rest, chewing, and other jaw movements. Occlusion can be divided into static and dynamic occlusion for the sake…
Read MoreIntroduction The field of dental implantology has seen significant advancements over the past few decades. One of the pivotal developments has been the concept of immediate loading of dental implants. Immediate loading of dental implants is a technique where a dental implant is placed and a temporary restoration is attached within 48 hours of the…
Read MoreIntroduction The concept of angulated dental implants has evolved significantly over the years. Angulated dental implants refer to the placement of dental implants at an angle rather than perpendicular to the occlusal plane. This technique is often employed to address anatomical constraints, improve esthetics, or maximize the use of available bone in areas where traditional…
Read MoreIntroduction Pterygoid implants are used in dental procedures to provide support in the posterior maxilla, particularly in cases where traditional implant placement is challenging due to bone resorption or sinus pneumatization. These implants engage the pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone, offering several advantages such as avoiding sinus augmentation and providing immediate load-bearing capacity. The…
Read MoreIntroduction Zygomatic implants are a type of dental implant used to support a dental prosthesis in patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Unlike traditional dental implants, which are anchored into the jawbone, zygomatic implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone, which is denser and provides a more stable foundation. Zygomatic implants were…
Read MoreIntroduction Fibrin immobilization refers to the process of attaching or fixing fibrin molecules to a surface. Fibrin is a protein involved in blood clot formation, and it plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair. Fibrin immobilization in the context of dental implants involves using fibrin to stabilize and support tissue regeneration around…
Read MoreDental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, providing a reliable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. At the heart of this success lies a remarkable process called osseointegration. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of osseointegration, its significance, and how it ensures the stability and functionality of dental implants. What Is Osseointegration? Osseointegration refers to…
Read MoreIntroduction to implant-associated complications Accidents and complication may happen during any surgical procedure. The effort that we can do to prevent these complications is a detailed treatment planning before stating the case and its appropriate execution. Although, we can’t totally eliminate the complications, but by doing this we can definitely minimize their frequency of occurrence.…
