Background information: The use of dental implants in the rehabilitation of partially edentulous and completely edentulous patients has been available for many years. The benefits of dental implants in improving the quality of life for these patients have been well documented. The replacement of missing teeth can take the form of both the fixed and … Read more
Introduction Today, it is generally accepted amongst clinicians that endosseous dental implants have become the standard of care when listing treatment options for restoring an edentulous space. This was not the case as early as 20 years ago! Over the last 4 decades translational science and clinical research have broadened our knowledge around the processes … Read more
Introduction: There can be a lot of flexibility when it comes to workflows and treatment plans for patients with a terminal dentition. These cases are life changing and thus should be well planned and executed. Using a digital workflow can enable proper treatment planning right from the start. These workflows allow restoratively driven implant placement … Read more
Implant therapy has become a predictable treatment option for tooth replacement with a 5-year survival rate of 97.1%.1 Despite this high survival rate, implant failure can still happen which would necessitate removal, or better said, explantation of the unsuccessful implant. Approximately 34% of failures occur within the first 5 years after placement and it could … Read more
The transcrestal or transalveolar sinus lift procedure was described by Summers in 19941 as an alternative to the “traditional” approach, using the lateral window to reduce the morbidity of the technique. As initially described, the procedure consisted of an approach from the alveolar ridge using progressive caliber osteotomes that are activated using a hammer that … Read more

Antibiotic alternatives to amoxicillin linked to an increase in dental implant failure Dental implants are more than twice as likely to fail in people who report an allergy to penicillin and are given alternative antibiotics, compared to those given amoxicillin, a new study by researchers at NYU College of Dentistry shows. The study, published in … Read more
The demand for dental implants is expected to grow exponentially on account of surging cases of dental disorders globally. Rise in prevalence of unhealthy habits, such as increasing consumption of junk foods on a regular basis and lack of exercise, might lead to periodontal diseases which may cause tooth decay and dental caries. Dental disorders … Read more
Implant supported dentures provide many individuals with a better quality of life, but this is not without some challenges. Specifically, what is the recommended self-care for this type of prosthesis? There are two areas for discussion: removable dentures and fixed dentures. Research in the area of implant self-care is limited and often based on low-level … Read more
Maxillary implant prosthetic treatments may be considerably more difficult to accomplish when compared to the similar treatments for patients with edentulous mandibles due to many factors including bone quality, position of implants due to anatomical landmarks, need for grafting, prosthetic space needed, etc. It is very important to assess a patient’s dental and medical history … Read more
INTRODUCTION A sizeable number of the human population have either one or more teeth missing. Many current options are available to restore missing teeth but dental implants have become one of the most popular “go-to” treatment options to replacing missing teeth over the last two decades. There are numerous objective parameters that have been published … Read more
Peri-implantitis, a condition where tissue and bone around dental implants becomes infected, besets roughly one-quarter of dental implant patients, and currently there’s no reliable way to assess how patients will respond to treatment of this condition. To that end, a team led by the University of Michigan School of Dentistry developed a machine learning algorithm, … Read more
The global dental implants market is expected to grow from $4.127 billion in 2020 to $4.486 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led … Read more
Introduction Dental implants are an increasingly popular treatment choice in young individuals with dento-facial anomalies characterized by missing teeth such as oligodontia and cleft lip and palate. Although dental implants may represent a predictable treatment option in the short term, over the long term the risk of peri-implant disease cannot be overlooked due to its … Read more
INTRODUCTION The goal of modern dentistry is to restore the patient to normal contour, function, comfort, esthetics, speech, and health, whether by removing caries from a tooth or replacing several teeth. What makes implant dentistry unique is the ability to achieve this goal, regardless of the atrophy, disease, or injury of the stomatognathic system. However, … Read more
Successful dental implant surgery and subsequent prosthetic restoration require careful consideration and precise execution, whether replacing a single tooth or rehabilitating a full arch. Successful implants can function reliably for many years, effectively replacing natural teeth. Poorly positioned implants, on the other hand, will often fail and/or cause further functional complications as well as aesthetic … Read more
