Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an ideal reference guide for clinicians seeking to improve their decision making and treatment outcomes when placing dental implants in medically compromised patients, in whom conditions for osseointegration and soft tissue healing may be unfavorable. Up-to-date information is provided on the potential impacts of a wide variety of diseases and disorders on dental implant treatment and the factors that need to be considered when deciding on the feasibility of such treatment. More specifically, for each condition possible disease-related changes in the oral environment are explained and key treatment issues are identified, including surgical and prosthodontic aspects and pharmacological considerations. The book will help general dentists, periodontists, and oral surgeons to reduce the risk of treatment failure and complications and to ensure that the implant therapy is successful in achieving excellent quality of life and functional benefits, thereby improving patient satisfaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bone quality is one of the most important factors in the successful osseointegration of dental implants. However, the concepts of bone quality and compromised bone have never been well defined in the field of implant dentistry. To provide a clear definition of these terms, the contributors to this volume have compiled data from almost two decades of experimental and case studies, resulting in a comprehensive review of the current knowledge regarding the placement of implants in compromised bone. The book also presents specific considerations for placing implants in different types of compromised bone, such as aged, underdeveloped, and irradiated bone. A useful work of reference for implant students, practicing implant clinicians, and implant-oriented researchers.

Download or read book Dental Implant Treatment in Patients with Systemic Diseases- a Pilot Comparative Cohort Study written by Antonio Barone and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implant treatment became the standard of care for the rehabilitation of partial/total edentulism. Healthy patients showed a very high success rate over a long-term follow-up, nevertheless implant failures could happen due to lack (early failure) or loss of osseointegration (late failure). The impact of systemic diseases on the outcome of implant therapy is still unclear, however it seems that the control of systemic disease may be more important than the disease itself.The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate and to compare the outcomes of dental implants in healthy patients and in patients affected by systemic diseases.Two groups of patients were selected in the study, those who had systemic disorders (MCP) and who were under treatment with several drugs and those who were healthy (HP) and who didnu2019t take any drug. Post-surgical complications were evaluated in the 2 groups. The implants were restored three months after placement in the mandible and 4 months after placement in the maxilla. Dental implant failure was considered as an implant that was removed or that had to be removed, a survival implant was an implant that was functional even though it didnu2019t meet the success criteria and a successful implant was an implant that met the success criteria. The outcome measures were: periapical radiographs that were taken at implant placement, at the restoration phase and each year after implant placement; probing depth and bleeding on probing were recorded at 4 sites for each implant at the restoration phase and each year after implant placement.Two groups of patients were enrolled in the study those who were medically compromised (20 patients) and who have received 73 Tissue Level implants (Prama, Sweden & Martina, Due Carrare, Italy) and those who were healthy and who have received 67 Tissue Level implants (Prama, Sweden & Martina, Due Carrare, Italy). The early post-operative complications were higher in the medically compromised group (5 Implants in 3 patients) than in the healthy group (3 implants in 2 patients) even though the difference was not significant. One single early failure and one late failure were registered in the MCP group, the two patients were considered ASA II patients. The percentage of implants showing less than 1.5mm of bone loss after 1 year was 100% in both groups. The mean PD and BoP was not different in the 2 groups after 1 year.The medically compromised patients didnu2019t show any increased risk for implant failure and implant survival when compared to healthy patients. Systemic diseases did not represent a contraindication to implant treatment, even though these patients require a careful follow up for the implant maintenance as well as for the medical condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the current state of knowledge on why implant failures occur, makes specific recommendations for prevention of failure, and emphasizes the role that maintenance plays in increasing the probability of success. Current recommendations for the treatment of ailing implants are also reviewed. Prevention begins with appropriate patient selection and treatment planning, correct implant placement, and effective prosthetic rehabilitation. All of these aspects are thoroughly discussed. The specifics of maintenance therapy for patients with dental implants are then addressed, bearing in mind that patients on a regular maintenance schedule following completion of active therapy have fewer implant complications. Readers will find information on the frequency of visits as well as step-by-step guidance for a routine visit. In addition, current concepts regarding the etiology of implant failure are covered, with explanation of their potential implications for maintenance care. The book will be an ideal aid and reference source for all clinicians wishing to stay abreast of the latest knowledge and developments in the field of dental implant diagnosis, maintenance, and therapeutic intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the increase of the life expectancy, elder people live with diverse diseases or conditions like systemic disorders, immune-related disorders, and psychiatric issues. Consecutively, practicing clinicians are faced with serving dental implant treatments in such a population comprised of medical and demographic characteristics. Most commonly, implant therapy is performed among patients above middle ages; therefore, clinicians often encounter medically compromised patients. The patients are usually with adverse conditions like bleeding disorders, bone diseases, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and/or immunologic conditions like cancer therapy, steroid or immunosuppressive or antiresorptive medication, alcoholism, smoking, and many others. Nevertheless, only few conditions could be stated for contraindication to dental implant therapy. Besides the broad range of the mentioned dental implant comorbidities smoking seems less prevalent compared to the general population. Dental implants in smoking patients are certainly affected in relation to the failure rate, marginal bone loss, and some other risks of postoperative complications. Hence, smoking or other similar conditions could be accounted as a chronic systemic disorder just like diabetes mellitus or drug usage. Briefly, it seems that establishing the medical and demographic conditions prior to implant therapy along with controlling the systemic diseases or disorders may be more important than the presence of compromise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do You Need Teeth Replacement? Are you missing a tooth? Several teeth? If so, perhaps you're like many individuals—you already wear a bridge or dentures or are considering them. But have you considered dental implants? They are &“permanent teeth&” that are inserted into the jawbone and function like natural teeth. They offer a more natural appearance and greater comfort than bridges or dentures. Although the trend toward dental implants is growing rapidly, you, like many consumers, may not fully understand how they work. The doctors who wrote this book recognized the need for consumer information. All specialists in dental implants, they provide answers to such questions as: &• What are the benefits of dental implants? &• Who is a candidate for dental implants? &• How are the implants inserted? &• Are the procedures painful? &• How long do implants last? &• Are there risks or possible complications? &• How do you choose a qualified dentist or specialist? &• What follow-up care is required?

Book excerpt: This comprehensive guide to short implants will take the reader through their research and development, explain the clinical indications, evaluate the outcomes achieved with various implants, and explore restorative and laboratory considerations. Short implants have steadily gained greater market share in the last decade as practitioners sought alternatives to traditional length implants in order to avoid grafting procedures. Current manufacturers offer a variety of implant lengths and widths, allowing surgeons and restorative dentists the ability to select the best implant for each clinical circumstance. Cutting edge information is provided on the research and clinical results achieved utilizing a range of implants, specifically those developed by Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Jack Hahn, and Bicon. Readers will also find an extensive description of the role of ultra-short implants involving reconstruction in both cleft patients and cancer patients who have lost portions of their mandible and/or maxilla. This book is a must-have for those interested in learning how the use of short and ultra-short implants offers both surgeons and restorative dentists an opportunity to stand out from those that use only the traditional length implants.
