"In vivo" evaluation of the vascular pattern in oral peri-implant tissues.
Abstract Introduction The vascularisation of the peri-implant tissue represents the key factor in obtaining a successful result in implantology, since an adequate vascular supply allows wound healing and the presence of numerous growth factors that promote osteogenesis. The aim of this study was to analyse “in vivo” the vascular pattern of the peri-implant mucosa in subjects that received implant treatment. Materials and methods In the study 22 subjects were examined, 11 of whom (test group) received dental implants (Straumann Dental Implant System ® ) while 11 were in the control group; the analysis was performed in the peri-implant masticatory mucosa. The evaluation of the microcirculatio…
Implant overdentures: recommendations and analysis of the clinical benefits.
Due to the progress made in implantology, in recent years the interest in prosthetic rehabilitation in edentulous mouths using overdentures has increased considerably. Indications to the treatment of implant supported overdenture could be classified in three groups: the first group consists of younger members of the elderly population who have an edentulous upper jaw rehabilitated with a conventional complete denture but experience discomfort with it and therefore desire a stable prosthesis and greater comfort in the mouth; the second group, for which the use of implant overdentures is recommended, consists of older patients who require greater stability from a complete mandibular denture; …
