Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term evaluation of non-submerged ITI implants. Part 1: 8-year life table analysis of a prospective multi-center study with 2359 implants.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that non-submerged ITI implants maintain success rates well above 90% in different clinical centers for observation periods up to 8 years indicating that the applied life table analysis is a reliable statistical method to evaluate the long-term prognosis of dental implants.
Journal Article

Localized ridge augmentation using guided bone regeneration. 1. Surgical procedure in the maxilla.

TL;DR: The currently used surgical procedure is presented through two case reports and the different aspects of the surgical technique needed to achieve a predictable success are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outcome evaluation of early placed maxillary anterior single-tooth implants using objective esthetic criteria: a cross-sectional, retrospective study in 45 patients with a 2- to 4-year follow-up using pink and white esthetic scores

TL;DR: All 45 anterior maxillary single-tooth implants fulfilled strict success criteria for dental implants with regard to osseointegration, including the absence of peri-implant radiolucency, implant mobility, suppuration, and pain.
Journal Article

Mechanics of the implant-abutment connection: an 8-degree taper compared to a butt joint connection.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional, non-linear finite element models were created to compare the 2 connection principles under equal conditions and give insight into the mechanics involved in each type of connection and are compared to actual findings with the testing machine.
Journal Article

Stress fatigue: basic principles and prosthodontic implications.

TL;DR: The current knowledge of fatigue failure and test methods is reviewed, an overview of published studies is given, and guidelines for future prosthodontic studies of this nature are suggested.
