Abstract

The basis for the development for a dynamic compression implant (DCI) is the axiome of the mechanically induced bone reaction. Only if the implant is absolutely stable against the bone can an adaptive apposition and transformation be induced. T obtain such stability is the real problem. Transversal, sagittal and vertical forces act upon the implant and the structure of the maxillary and mandibular bone is sometimes unsuited to the purpose. The present concept for the required stability is based upon adaptive friction and a compressive factor as well as upon equalizing the differences of elasticity between bone tissue and metal. The technical procedure is described and illustrated. It should be an established requirement to obtain a minimum of 10 years duration in order to have an effective rate of success. The rate of intact implants after 5 years is encouraging the continuance of the experiments.

Electromyographic activity of the jaw-closing muscles in patients with osseointegrated implant fixed partial dentures.

The control of postural and synergistic jaw reflexes involves interrelated sensory input from receptors in the jaw muscles, temporomandibular joint, periodontal ligament, and mucosa. This investigation was done to determine whether a decrease in intraoral sensory afferent discharge significantly altered the onset of the jaw-unloading reflex. The subject population consisted of three groups with 10 subjects in each group. Group 1 had maxillary and mandibular natural teeth and group 2 consisted of edentulous subjects with complete dentures. Group 3 consisted of edentulous subjects with maxillary complete dentures and mandibular complete implant-supported prostheses. The unloading reflex was initiated with a muscle-unloading device and recorded with a storage oscilloscope. A one-way analysis of variance found no significant differences in the unloading-reflex latency for the masseter or temporal muscles among the three experimental groups (p less than 0.05).

The use of osseointegrated implants in the treatment of patients with trauma.

The replacement of missing anatomic structures may become more demanding when the etiology is trauma. Patients with traumatic injuries will likely have increased forces placed upon their prostheses because of the altered support from the loss of normal anatomy. Successful treatment for these patients may include preprosthetic surgery using osseointegrated implants to augment prosthesis support and stability.

Trajectory surgical guide stent for implant placement.

This article describes a new implant placement surgical guide that gives both implant location and trajectory to the surgeon. Radiopaque markers are placed on diagnostic dentures and a lateral cephalometric radiograph is made that shows the osseous anatomy at the symphysis and the anterior tooth location. The ideal implant location and trajectory data are transferred to a surgical stent that programs the angle and location of the fixtures at time of surgery. The stent has the additional benefit of acting as an occlusion rim, a mouth prop, and tongue retractor. Use of this stent has resulted in consistently programming the placement of implant fixtures that are prosthodontically ideal.
