An evaluation of differences and similarities observed in fixture failure of five distinct implant systems.

While the long-term success of osseointegrated implants has been demonstrated in the dental literature, implant failure does occur as a result of various factors. The purpose of this investigation was to identify clinical and/or microbiological differences associated with failure in five implant systems. At the conclusion of this 7.5-year investigation, 67 of 958 implants were determined to have failed. An overall failure rate of 7.0% was evident in this study, which, depending on the particular system, ranged from 4.7% to 15.2%.

Multidisciplinary approach to a combined endodontic-periodontal lesion: a case report.

Esthetic dental treatment under ideal conditions is usually managed routinely without complication. Under such conditions, the periodontium is in a state of health and active periodontal therapy is not needed. However, in the presence of dental pathology, achieving our esthetic goals becomes exceedingly difficult. Correction of periodontal defects often leads to increased recession and interdental spaces, both difficult esthetic problems to manage. When existing periodontal defects are coupled with other pathologic entities, such as caries or trauma, the problems in trying to satisfy our treatment goals are compounded. A multidisciplinary approach is indicated and can provide excellent results.

Sinus grafting using platelet-rich plasma--initial case presentation.

Recent research has indicated that an element of the proteins contained in platelet-rich plasma can be utilized to increase the speed of bone deposition and quality of bone regeneration when augmenting edentulous sites for implant placement. The growth factors present in platelet-rich plasma are believed to initiate a sequence of microscopic events that ultimately result in the formation of osseous tissue capable of supporting implants for subsequent prosthetic restoration. This article demonstrates a surgical protocol used to harvest platelet-rich plasma and the manner in which it can be implemented in a clinical procedure for the restoration of partially edentulous patients.
