Explant of failed case leads to osseointegration
Explanted fractured fixture (OSSTEM GSII) followed by a reimplantation of an SLA-surfaced implant (OSSTEM TSIII) in the mandibular posterior area.
Immediate implant and GBR treatment with titanium mesh
Evaluate the implant and prosthetic survival rates, complications, marginal bone loss, using ultra-fine titanium mesh membrane and simultaneous implant placement, to provide space maintenance necessary for bone augmentation of alveolar bone defects.
Accuracy of open and closed sleeved surgical implant templates
To compare virtual planning accuracy of novel computer-assisted, template-based implant placement techniques, which make use of CAD/CAM stereolithographic surgical templates with or without metallic sleeves. Furthermore, to compare open versus closed sleeves for templates without metallic sleeves.
Smart Scaler, Smart Brush: Surgical treatment for peri-implantitis
4 cases of surgical treatment for peri-implantitis using Osstem’s smart scaler and smart brush.
Short-term clinical results of 6mm long wide implants
Our study conducted literature review and presented cases as it obtained successful treatment results after placing 5-6 mm short implants using a minimally invasive technique in patients with insufficient vertical bone height on mandibular molar areas.
Prognosis of implants with acid-etched surfaces sandblasted with alumina
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical stability of implants with acid-etched surfaces sandblasted with alumina using retrospective analyses of the survival rate, success rate, primary and secondary stability, complications, and marginal bone loss of the implants.
Immediate implant placement or wait for socket preservation: results from a 1 year long controlled trial.
To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in clinical, radiographic and aesthetic outcomes positioning single post-extractive 7 mm-diameter implants or waiting 4 months after molar extraction and socket preservation procedure.
Immediate implant placement following extraction in anterior region of Q1.
Placement of implants immediately following extraction has now become an increasingly common strategy to preserve bone and reduce treatment time. This case reports demonstrates that it is possible to achieve greater efficiency in our efforts to give patient sound, timely and economical treatment.
Radiographic stent aids in implant installation and sinus augmentation
A radiographic stent was modified and used as a surgical stent instead of computer-guided implant surgery to reduce the treatment time. Compared to the stent made with computer -guided surgery, since it is not accurate enough to use until final drilling, it can be used as an marker for initial position.
