Assessment of maximum torque in implant-supported prostheses: a pilot laborator...

Background/Objectives: the precise application of torque during prosthetic screw tightening is essential to the long-term success and mechanical stability of implant-supported restorations. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of practitioner experience, glove material, screwdriver length, and hand moisture on the maximum torque value (MTV) generated during manual tightening. Methods: thirty participants,...

Screw-retained surgical guide for implant placement

Introduction: For patients with extended edentulous areas, with existing implants, and in need of additional implant placement, the use of the osseointegrated implants for guide fixation seems to be a logical alternative. Current options for the fabrication of surgical guides in this type of cases, involve creating surgical guides that are supported by the teeth, by the teeth and mucosa or retained by fixation ...

The success rate of the adhesive partial fixed prosthesis after five years: a s...

Objective: Evaluation of the success and/or survival rates of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) reported in the scientific literature with a minimum average observation time of five years. Materials and Methods: Search conducted in Pubmed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases in free-text format and MESH terms, until May 2021. The random-effects model was used for the estimated survival rate, perce...

Computer guided bone harvesting from mandible. Case series

alveolar defects is strongly dependent on bone augmentation procedures.[1] Autogenous bone is the most predictable material to support new bone formation, allowing for a higher bone survival rate and implant success.[1,2] Computer-guided bone harvesting, performed according to the protocol described by De Stavola et al. (2015), effectively translated the surgical plan into the surgical field, assisting the surg...

The success and complications of complete-arch implant-supported fixed monolith...

In full-arch rehabilitation with implant-supported fixed prostheses, using monolithic zirconia seems to have several advantages regarding function and esthetics. However, the current scientific evidence is still limited. Thus, the aim of this investigation was to systematically review the literature on monolithic zirconia restorations for full-arch rehabilitation, particularly pursuing the survival rate and mec...

Sequential surgical guide for full arch immediate implant placement and provisi...

giving new perspectives for dental treatments. Implant planning software allows the combination of radiology, prosthetic and surgical fields under a common virtual scenario, creating the designated virtual patient. This allows an optimized treatment planning and, when possible, the use of least invasive surgical techniques, with the patient experiencing a better postsurgical course with a faster tissue healing....

Assessment of calcinosis in Portuguese patients with systemic sclerosis: a mult...

Introduction/objectives: The study aims to define the clinical and subclinical calcinosis prevalence, the sensitivity of radiographed site and clinical method for its diagnosis, and the phenotype of Portuguese systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with calcinosis. Method: A cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted with SSc patients fulfilling Leroy/Medsger 2001 or ACR/EULAR 2013 classification criteria, regi...
