Abstract

Biocompatibility of dental implants is affected by corrosion, and their functional ability and useful lifetime. It can cause a lot of problems or even failure of the implant.The oral environment is affected by the electrolytes and oxygen compositions that are produced differ from that of tissue fluids.This is a review and update of the interaction of dental implants with the environment, and effects of secretion contamination on the load of implant prostheses.

Abstract

Successful management of impacted maxillary canines requires precise localization of these teeth which is usually achieved using a combination of clinical and radiographic examination. Various techniques have been employed in radiology to locate the impacted canines each of it with its own advantages and limitations. This article will emphasize on modified vertex occlusal view which is an extra oral view that images the maxillary arch in the superoinferior projection that was employed in our patient to accurately locate the position of the impacted tooth.

Keywords

Abstract

The use of implants in replacement of missing teeth is usually minimal in patients with completed craniofacial growth. This literature review is to give an insight about the use of dental implants in growing patients and in patients with ectodermal dysplasia and the effect of maxillary and mandibular skeletal and dental growth on the strength of these implants. It is advisable that on deciding the optimal individual for implant placement, the time point of implant insertion, the status of skeletal growth, the degree of hypodontia, and extension of related psychological stress should be taken into consideration, in addition to the status of existing dentition and dental compliance of a pediatric patient.

Abstract

Implant is the best alternative option nowadays for missing tooth replacement. Lack of bone height poses a significant obstacle for its placement. Bone augmentation is an option to counter this problem. To treat the local physiological as well as anatomical limitation, maxillary sinus floor elevation has become an important pre-placement procedure in maxilla. With the advent of Various methodologies to increase the thickness of maxillary sinus floor, One of the techniques involve minimal elevation of maxillary sinus membrane, Schneiderian membrane, while other include placement of various type of grafts including allografts, autografts, bone morphogenetic proteins, and hydroxyapatite crystals. The bone substitutes used in sinus lift is reviewed in this article.

Abstract

Success of a dental implant depends on osseointegration which is the direct structural and functional connection between the dental implant and the alveolar bone. Successful osseointegration requires both primary stability (mechanical stability) between the implant and the bone and secondary stability (biological stability) which occurs during bone remodelling during healing.

Keywords

Osseodensification, Osteotomy, Bone Density.
