  2. 6. Bone grafts and dental implants in the reconstruction of the severely atrophied, edentulous maxilla

    Author : Björn Johansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; dental implants; maxilla; grafted bone; implant failure; clinical study; computed tomography; cutting torque; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; plastikkirurgi; Plastic Surgery;

    Abstract : In two prospective, clinical studies the stability of implants and prosthetic constructions were evaluated after three years of loading. In the first study, the implant and the bridge stability of 39 patients with 1-stage bone grafts, were compared to a reference-group of 37 patients who did not need bone grafts. READ MORE

  4. 7. On healing of titanium implants in iliac crest bone grafts

    Author : Mats Sjöström; Stefan Lundgren; Lars Sennerby; Christian Lindqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; Edentulous atrophic maxilla; Autogenous bone graft; Endosteal implants; Microimplants; Resonance frequency analysis; Implant survival; Graft volume changes; Kirurgi; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Bone grafts and titanium implants are commonly used for surgical/prosthetic rehabilitation of the atrophic edentulous maxilla. The factors which influence bone graft healing and implant integration are not sufficiently understood. READ MORE

  5. 8. On factors influencing the outcome of various methods using endosseous implants for reconstruction of the atrophic edentulous and partially dentate maxilla

    Author : Jonas Becktor; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : dental implants; grafted bone; maxilla; clinical follow-up; zygomatic implants;

    Abstract : Surgical reconstruction of the severely resorbed edentulous maxilla often requires a combination of bone grafts and dental implants. Different methods have been used during the years where donor site, type of bone graft, healing period, timing of implant placement and implant surface have varied. READ MORE

  6. 9. Single crystal sapphire dental implants : experimental and clinical studies

    Author : Bahman Fartash; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : edentulous mandible; implantology; sapphire dental implants; overdenture; long-term follow-up; radiography; osseointegration; peri-implant mucosa; corrosion; cell culture; animal experiments; light microscopy; scanning electron microscopy; histometri;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to evaluate single synthetic sapphire crystals as dental implants, with special reference to correlation of clinical and in vitro/in vivo methods of research. The laboratory studies confirmed chemical stability. READ MORE

  7. 10. Factors affecting peri-implant tissue reactions

    Author : Margareta Hultin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Dental implants long-term maintenance; microbiota; inflammation; periodontitis; periimplantitis smoking crevicular fluid.;

    Abstract : Screw- shaped titanium implants are today routinely used m the substitution of lost teeth. In this thesis some of the biological factors related to the long-term survival and maintenance of dental implants were studied. The first arm of these studies was to evaluate the neutrophil activation around teeth and dental implants (Papers I & II). READ MORE
