Periodontal applications of three dimensional(3D) printing included education models, scaffolds, socket preservation, and sinus and bone augmentation and guided implant placement. 3D scaffolds have been recently investigated in the field of dentistry and periodontics as a bone graft substitutes which could overcome the drawbacks of routinely employed grafting materials. In this review, we highlight different biomaterials suitable for 3D scaffold fabrication, with a focus on "3D-printed" ones as bone graft substitutes that might be convenient for various applications related to periodontal regeneration and implant therapy.
The success lies in achieving and maintaining the stability of a dental implant. However, implant failures are common and among them the most serious issue is the implant mobility. This paper reviews on the implant mobility, its causes, methods to detect mobility and also possible treatment approaches. Keywords: implant; implant failure; implant mobility; osseointegration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
