Narrow-diameter implants: Are they a predictable treatment option? A literature review
Objective: To evaluate the predictability of narrow-diameter implants as a treatment option in routine clinical practice. A literature review was performed of studies reporting clinical results obtained with these implants. Survival rates, peri-implant bone loss and related complications were evaluated. The working hypothesis was that narrow-diameter implants offer clinical results similar to those obtained with implants of greater diameter. Material and Methods: A Medline-PubMed search covering the period between 2002 and 2012 was carried out. Studies published in English and with a follow-up period of at least 12 months were considered for inclusion. A manual search was also conducted in …
Análisis del comportamiento mecánico in vitro de prótesis parciales fijas sobre implantes dentales con cuello convergente y conexión interna transmucosa con voladizo posterior
Objetivos: El propósito de la investigación fue analizar a través de un estudio in vitro el comportamiento mecánico de 4 uniones distintas en la interfase pilar implante sobre prótesis parciales fijas con dos implantes dentales (cuello convergente y conexión interna transmucosa) y un voladizo posterior tras unos test de fatiga mecánica y posterior carga compresiva. Material y método: Se realizó un estudio in vitro con 4 grupos, grupo 1 atornillado directo (AD), grupo 2, atornillado In (AIN), grupo 3 cementado In (CIN) y grupo 4 cementado directo (CD) utilizando 19 muestras por grupo con dos implantes cada uno y sus respectivas prótesis. Tras el diseño en Cad-Cam de las muestras y su posteri…
