WHO statements for Oral Health
Oral diseases, while largely preventable, pose a major health burden for many countries and affect people throughout their lifetime, causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement and even death. It is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people. Untreated dental caries (tooth decay) in permanent teeth is the most common health...
Two-piece dental zirconia implants in the posterior region
This study aimed at evaluating the clinical performance of two-piece zirconia implants in the posterior jaws over 9 years. Sixty partially edentulous patients were treated with two-piece zirconia implants. In eight no primary stability could be achieved. Fifty-two patients received the final restoration. Thirty patients responded. The mean observation period...
Which antibiotics for endocarditis prophylaxis in oral implantology?
Endocarditis is an infectious disease of the inner lining of the heart (endocardium). It is frequently associated with severe progression (high morbidity) and often with a poor prognosis (high mortality). Therefore, antibiotics have been prescribed for prophylaxis in patients with a risk profile for endocarditis for more than 50 years....
Zygoma implants in maxillary atrophy
The Zygoma implant was originally introduced by Brånemark in 1989 for the oral rehabilitation of patients who had undergone maxillectomy. It later evolved into an alternative treatment to avoid more extensive bone augmentations prior to masticatory rehabilitation of edentulous atrophic maxillae. This approach represents an adequate stabilization system in which...
Dental implant-supported telescopic prosthesis (case report)
Objective: To present and discuss a treatment concept with a minimally invasive procedure for the complete restoration of the maxilla and mandible. Material and method: The concept and clinical procedure for the use of extracted teeth for the fabrication of an autologous augmentation material is presented on the basis of...
The sensitivity of bone conduction for dental implants
Dental implants are connected to the alveolar bone by osseointegration. Dental implants could be used as a potential bone conduction (BC) hearing assistive device in the mouth. However, the BC threshold of dental implants has not been reported. The present study aimed to examine the pure tone auditory thresholds of...
Clinical outcomes of dental implants in patients with and without history of periodontitis: A 20-year prospective study
Aim To present the 20-year clinical outcomes of tissue-level implants in partially edentulous patients previously treated for periodontitis and in periodontally healthy patients (PHP). Material and Methods The original population consisted of 149 partially edentulous patients consecutively enrolled in a private specialist practice and divided into three groups: PHP, moderately...
Artificial intelligence supports the production of facial implants
A research group at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) is using artificial intelligence (AI) to create individual facial implants. Instead of designing a model from scratch for each patient, as has been the case in the past, in the future we will be able to use AI to access...
Diabetes mellitus and dental implants
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that develops primarily either due to T-cell-mediated autoimmune destruction, especially of the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas (type I diabetes mellitus) or due to impaired insulin function (various combinations of insulin resistance, hyperinsulinism, relative insulin deficiency, or even secretory...
