Abstract
The characteristics of the population of the IDSC and the prosthodontist were similar. During the study interval, the prosthodontist had 299 implants in 145 subjects and IDSC with 217 implants in 104 subjects placed. The survival rates were 96% for the experienced prosthodontist and 93.5% for IDSC d...

Abstract
We see "informed patients" who always consult the Web prior to their visit to the physician or dentist. The problem is that the knowledge concerning their suspected disease is often superficial. It is the task of the treatment provider to make factual information available and to discuss diagnostic...

Abstract
Bone densities ranged from 805 to 1247 HU. A significant difference between male and female groups was noted, although no difference was found between left and right sides of individual palates. Palatal bone densities showed a tendency to decrease laterally and posteriorly. The midpalatal area withi...

Abstract
An implant-supported restoration offers a predictable treatment for tooth replacement. Reported success rates for dental implants are high. Nevertheless, failures that mandate immediate implant removal do occur. The consequences of implant removal jeopardize the clinician's efforts to accomplish sat...

Abstract
Implant therapy has become a widely recognized treatment alternative for replacing missing teeth. Several long term follow-up studies have shown that the survival rate is high. However, complications may appear and risk indcators associated with early and late failures have been identified. The purp...

Abstract
An inverse relation existed among the two parameters BIC and GA: GA, as a region with high osteogenetic potentiality, appeared wider in WP implants; BIC, as the expression of primary mechanical stability, was higher in NP implants. CONCLUSION: Based on this results, we could assume that NP implants...

The presence of the antral septum favoured the sinus membrane to tear, the results of our study are obvious (23.46%). Aloplastic materials for sinus grafting is our first choice because the results are comparable with the cases in wich we used autografts, and the advantage is that we don't need a se...

Abstract
We transplanted GFP-transgenic rat molars into the subcutaneous tissues of wild-type rats. Five days after transplantation, the tooth was surrounded by connective tissue containing many blood vessels. At 10 days, bone-like tissue was formed in the connective tissue between the branches of the bifurc...
