  2. 1. On immediate/early loading of implant-supported prostheses in the maxilla

    Author : Kerstin Fischer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dental implant; clinical study; randomized study; immediate loading; early loading; resonance frequency analysis;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: The original treatment protocol for osseointegrated implants prescribed an unloaded healing period of 3 to 6 months before connection of the prosthetic superstructure. During the last years shortened healing time and rapid loading have become more frequently used. READ MORE

  4. 2. On various protocols for direct loading of implant-supported fixed prostheses

    Author : Pär-Olov Östman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : dental implants; immediate loading; clinical studies; radiography; implant stability; resonance frequency analysis;

    Abstract : Backgrund: Prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous patient with implant-supported bridges is today a routine and predictable treatment modality. The original protocol prescribed a healing period of 3 to 6 months prior to loading which means that the total treatment time can be extensive and that the patients often need to wear removable provisional prostheses during healing and treatment.

  5. 3. Sensory-motor regulation of human biting behavior

    Author : Krister Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In order to control oral motor behavior, such as biting and chewing, we rely on information provided by a variety of sense organs, including periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs). The PMRs, located among the collagen fibers in the periodontal ligament that attaches the root of the tooth to the alveolar bone, send signals to the central nervous system when the surrounding collagen fibers are stretched by loading of the tooth.

  6. 4. Masticatory function in people with dental implants

    Author : Anastasios Grigoriadis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In use, since the 1960´s, dental implants have been reported to allow chewing that is as efficient as with natural dentition. However, input from periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs) around the tooth is important for sensorimotor regulation of biting and chewing. READ MORE

  7. 5. On guided bone reformation in the maxillary sinus to enable placement and integration of endosseous implants. Clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Giovanni Cricchio; Stefan Lundgren; Lars Sennerby; Gerry Raghoebar; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : bone grafting; donor morbidity; iliac crest; dental implants; membrane elevation; maxillary sinus floor elevation;

    Abstract : Dental caries and periodontal disease are the major causes for tooth loss. While dental caries commonly involve the posterior teeth in both jaws, the teeth most commonly lost due to periodontal problems are the first and second molars in the maxilla. As a consequence, the upper posterior jaw is frequently edentulous. READ MORE
