Patients who are partially or fully edentulous may predictably be restored with fixed implant prostheses immediately upon fixture placement if certain parameters are met.

These findings suggest that non-countersunk implants of 7 to 9 mm in length may be successfully restored with single crowns in the maxillary molar region.

The implant stability quotient values obtained on the magnetic side were significantly greater than on the non-magnetic side. Positive correlation exists between the magnetic field and osseointegration.

The aim of this study was to compare the immediate implant mobility and the pull-out resistance of large diameter dental implant (4.5 nun) with a standard size (3.25 nun) implant Two groups consisting of 18 implants, were placed in 5 embalmed human mandibles. The result of Periotest showed the same initial stability for the two groups. The maximum pull-out force for large diameter implants was 16% greater than that for the small diameter implants, although this difference was not statistically significant. There were significant positive correlation (~0 . 0 5 , p

The use of dental implants has revolutionized the treatment of partially and fully edentulous patients today. While in many cases dental implants have been reported to achieve long-term success, these are also not immune from the complicationsincludingperi-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory process which involves bone loss around osseointegrated implant in function. The etiology of the disease has been attributed to bacterial infections, occlusal overload, surgical trauma, faulty or incorrect prosthetic design and/ or improper implant placement. Diagnosis is based on changes in colour of the gingiva, bleeding and probing depth of peri-implant pockets, suppuration, x-ray and gradual loss of bone height around the tooth. Treatment modalities will differ depending upon whether it is a case of periimplantmucositis or periimplantitis, Therapeutic objectives focus on control of infection, detoxification of the implant surface and regeneration of the alveolar bone. This review article gives a brief description of etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and various treatment options in the management of periimplant disease.
