Prospective evaluation of immediate and delayed provisional single tooth restorations.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was 2-fold: to determine whether there is a significant difference in the hard and soft tissue response comparing immediate with delayed implant placement after tooth removal, with immediate provisionalization, in ... Read more...

Zirconia abutments for single-tooth implants--rationale and clinical guidelines.

30 Oct 2009 Clinical success of an endosseous implant to replace a single tooth is not only defined by its survival. Esthetic parameters have become integral aspects in defining success and failure. All-ceramic abutments have started to play a major role in ... Read more...

Fixed rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla: possibilities and clinical outcome.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of the present report was to describe the different treatment approaches available for fixed rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla in the presence of varying hard and soft tissue conditions and to review the clinical outcome of ... Read more...
