Presented at EAO 2023, see the clinical performance of gradually anodized implants in a large-scale real-world prospective study. It follows a diverse population with varying comorbidities and demographics highly relevant to routine clinical practice.
Original research from Dr. Ana Ferro and Dr. Miguel Nobre presented at EAO 2023 reports the clinical outcomes of the All-on-4 concept using implants with an ultra-hydrophilic, multi-zone anodized surface and anodized abutments.
Novel anodized abutment and gradually anodized implant surfaces are designed to optimize mucointegration and osseointegration. This scientific poster presented at the EAO Congress Digital Days 2020 shows preliminary data on soft tissue health at interim follow-up, prosthetic...
Implant supported overdentures are an evidence-based treatment option for edentulous patients leading to a significantly increased quality of life.
There are various retention elements available which connect the implants directly...
Implant overdentures are an excellent treatment option for edentulous patients and lead to significant improvement of quality of life. There are various options for their retention mechanism...
The majority of commercially available implants are variations of Brånemark’s original design of a screw which he coined as 'fixtures'. This has been the starting point for numerous current market variations that incorporate convergent themes of implant material...
Removable prostheses should always be removed over night. Since the acrylic denture base is tightly covering the keratinised mucosa, it often leads to fungal/candida infections of the ginigiva under the prosthesis....
All tissue surfaces, prosthesis surfaces and implant surfaces should be accessible by oral hygiene aids like toothbrushes, interdental brushes and dental floss or dental tape. It is paramount that, during treatment planning...
The regular recall control appointment, at least every 6 months, should comprise a hygiene check by the dental/oral hygienist or other auxiliary, and include professional cleaning of the restoration, prosthetic components, sulcus and any...
The relative merits of different prosthodontic treatment objectives - resilient versus rigid attachments - are controversial and empirical. A resilient retention mechanism is recommended on the assumption that this will protect implants from overload; while in...
At post-placement visits, the same factors evaluated carefully at the placement appointment should be reviewed and adjusted where necessary. Overdenture base fit, extensions, occlusion, esthetics, function, comfort and overall patient...
Placement of a removable prosthesis requires attention to detail to cover all important clinical items such prosthesis fit, denture base extensions, esthetics, occlusion, patient comfort and post-insertion instructions. Implant overdentures may or may not...
At post-placement visits, the same factors evaluated carefully at the insertion appointment should be reviewed again and adjustments made where necessary. Denture base fit, extensions, occlusion, esthetics, function, comfort and overall...
Placement of a complete denture requires attention to detail to cover all important clinical items such prosthesis fit, denture base extensions, esthetics, occlusion, patient comfort and post-placement instructions. In addition, the clinician...
