Evaluation of the Periotest as a Diagnostic Tool for Dental Implants

Multivariate study of factors influencing primary dental implant stability

“…In the present series, primary DIS was significantly associated with implant length, in agreement with Tricio et al (1995) and Aparicio (1997), but not with implant diameter. Greater implant length and diameter increase the contact surface area at the bone–implant interface and have been found to result in better (more negative) PTVs (Cranin et al 1998; Engel et al 2001; Morris et al 2003). Nevertheless, other authors found no relationship between PTVs and implant length (Teerlink et al 1991) and one group observed a relationship only with diameter (Deporter et al 2002).…”

Development of proteomic tools to study protein adsorption on a biomaterial, titanium grafted with poly(sodium styrene sulfonate)

“…However, several years after implantation, a local host response to titanium can be occurred, leading to the fibrous isolation of the implant from the healthy bone tissue, and progressively, the loss of osseointegration [4]. Therefore, to improve bone cell attachment and proliferation, and finally osseointegration of Ti implants, numerous surface modification of titanium has been developed including chemical treatments, topographic modifications and electrochemical methods [5,6].…”

The methods of dental implant stability measurement

“…Standart çekim parametrelerinin geliştirilmesi ile elde edilen radyografik bulguların yüksek kalitede olması ve bilgisayarda kemik seviyesindeki değişiklikler açısından incelenip analiz edilmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. 28,29 Daha hassas mobilite ölçümleri çeşitli implant bağlantı tipleri için zaman/integrasyon eğiminin belirlenmesine izin verir. Son yıllarda, implant mobilite miktarının belirlenmesinde belli bir kriterin geliştirilmesi için çalışmalar yapılmıştır.…”
