The study will include 16 patients in each group, 20 non-smokers and 12 smokers, a total of 32 patients will participate in the study.
Adjunctive Benefit of Xenograft Plus a Membrane During Sinus Crestal Approach
Edentulous JawPatients in need for implant-supported restoration in maxillary posterior sites with insufficient residual bone height will be randomly allocated to two different arms. Crestal sinus lift with simultaneous implant placement will be performed in both groups. Control group: crestal sinus lift with no adjunctive biomaterial; Test group: crestal sinus lift associated with xenogenic bone graft and collagen membrane; Six months after implant placement, implants will be loaded with definitive screw-retained prostheses. Six months later, patients will be recalled for clinical and radiographic assessment.
Validation of the Jawbone Anatomy Classification in Endosseous Dental Implant Treatment
Partially Edentulous JawThe purpose of this study is to evaluate validation and clinical assessment of the earlier proposed clinical and radiological classification of the jawbone anatomy in endosseous dental implant treatment. Expected results. high accuracy of proposed classification for proper implantation risk degree evaluation. the proposed classification system based on anatomical and radiological jawbone quantity and quality evaluation will be a helpful tool for planning of treatment strategy and collaboration among specialists. good interobserver reliability of clinical and radiological edentulous jaw segment evaluation. good reliability between radiological and intraoperative investigations and postoperative data.
Accuracy of Dental Implant Placement Using Two Different CBCT-derived Templates
JawEdentulous1 moreThe main purpose of the present study is to evaluate the dental implant placement using two different CBCT-derived templates and to study the related factors that affect accuracy so as to support the further clinical application of the technique. Thirty patients with partial edentulous denture are recruited. They are randomized to two groups. A radiographic guide is prepared before CT/CBCT scan. The CT/CBCT scan DICOM files are loaded in a planning program and converted into 3D computer images. A surgical template is fabricated through this virtual planning. After 6 weeks, if the implants are judged stable, the patient has the option of replacing the fixed prosthesis. Patients are recalled for oral hygiene maintenance and prosthetic controls every 6 months for the entire duration of the study.
Short vs Long Dental Implants for the Fixed Rehabilitation of the Fully Edentulous Mandible
Edentulous JawThe aim of this study is to clinically and radiographically compare the performance of short (6 mm-long) versus long (≥11 mm-long) dental implants placed in the interforaminal region of fully edentulous mandibles, supporting a screw-retained full-arch cantilever bridge.
Longitudinal Follow-up After C1 Implant Stabilization Values
JawEdentulous1 moreThe aim of the study is to describe the changes found in C1 dental implants through their early healing period. Patients requiring a standard installation of one or two implants in the maxilla, without any need for bone augmentation, will be frequently followed for 90 days. In every meeting the implants' ISQ values (values denoting the implant stability as being measured by a dedicated, commercially available, appliance called 'Osstell'). The implants' measured ISQ values will be used to describe the changes that may be found in the implants' stability through their healing period. At the end of the study the patients will be referred to their treating doctor for the completion of implants' restoration (i.e. crown).
Prospective Observational Study of SynCone® Concept
JawEdentulousThe aim of this prospective observational study will be to evaluate patient-related outcomes, clinical, microbiological and peri-implant immunoinflammatory mediators in completely edentulous patients rehabilitated with delayed loaded overdentures prostheses. The investigators hypothetize that this system could restore edentulous patients with healthier mucosal concerning clinical, microbiological and immunoinflammatory parameters, besides to promote improvement in patient satisfaction and quality of life.
Comparison Between Cobalt-chromium Partial Dentures and Thermoplastic Partial Dentures
JawEdentulous1 moreThe cobalt-chromium (CoCr) partial denture has been made for a long period. It respects biomechanical principles, providing harmony between mechanical and biological activities. The fundamental principles of biomechanics applied in the manufacture of steel structure are: retention, reciprocity, attachment and stability. To get the proper planning, we need to assess the dental support system, with its qualitative and quantitative values. But conventional dentures has a inherent problem which is the metallic elements apparent and in some cases the stiffness of the component support elements that generates stress. The Thermoplastic partial dentures increase aesthetics in replacement of metal structures in oral rehabilitation. So many treatments are being done in everyday practice without a defined concept on various aspects of its construction and oral applicability. This trial aims to assess the basic parameters of both dentures in: nutrition, speech therapy, chewing force, chewing efficiency and quality of life. 60 years old or older patients who require removable prosthesis. These will be randomly selected for the fabrication and installation of removable partial dentures (Gold Standard - control group - CoCr partial denture) and thermoplastic partial denture(experimental group). Before beginning the work, selected patients will make some preliminary tests such as controlling the individual condition, they are: three questionnaires: instrument for assessing quality of life related to oral health, GOHAI - General Oral Health Assessment Index of Atchinson & Dolan instrument for assessing the social and economic profile of ABEP (Brazilian Association of Research Companies) CCEB 2011; Instrument for assessing cognitive condition MINI-MENTAL; Speech evaluation Nutritional assessment; Evaluation of masticatory efficiency and Chewing strength. After preliminary assessments patients will be subjected to treatments for manufacture of partial dentures. After the installation (end of the technical construction of the dentures) and the adjustments appointment the tests will be repeated and in successive control periods of 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months respectively, when the tests will do again now to see if there was a change in the initial condition.
Comparison of Full-arch Implant-supported Frameworks From an Intraoral Scanning or From a Conventional...
Edentulous JawPurpose: To determine if adjustment of full-arch zirconia frameworks processed on a model obtained with an intraoral scanner and an auxiliary device is not inferior to that of identical frameworks obtained from an elastomeric impression. Materials and methods: Eight consecutive patients ready for a full-arch rehabilitation on already osseointegrated implants were selected. Two sets of impressions were taken, one open tray with polyether and splinted impression copings and a second one with an intraoral scanner. A verification plaster jig was used for the elastomeric impression and a prefabricated auxiliary device was used to adjust the optical intraoral impressions. Two full-zirconia frameworks with the same design were processed and tested on the patient by two independent calibrated operators. Accuracy of both frameworks was measured by calibrated blinded operators, who determined tactile adjustment, Sheffield test, radiographic adjustment, and screwing torque. Overall perception of adjustment was used to determine the better framework to be delivered to the patient. Hº: Frameworks obtained from an impression taken with an intraoral scanner are not inferior in accuracy to those obtained from a conventional elastomeric impression
