Gli impianti short, ormai da anni, si sono dimostrati come una valida alternativa chirurgica minimamente invasiva, sia in mandibola, che nel mascellare posteriore atrofico.

L'utilizzo degli short, utilizzati con le dovute tecniche chirurgiche, evita di dover eseguire interventi spesso complessi come GBR verticali - Sinus Lift laterali per la riabilitazione del delle arcate del paziente. 

In questo studio prospettico multicentrico vengono comparati gli impianti Short M2 bone-level agli impianti Short M2 tissue-level.

Abstract:  STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Macroscopic and especially microscopic properties of implant surfaces play a major role in the osseous healing of dental implants. Dental implants with modified surfaces have shown stronger osseointegration than implants which are only turned (machined). Advanced surface modification techniques such as anodic oxidation and Ca-P application have been developed to achieve faster and stronger bonding between the host bone and the implant.

Abstract :  PURPOSE

In this study, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implant surface treatment on cell differentiation of osteoblast cells. For this purpose, three surfaces were compared: (1) a modified SLA (MSLA: sand-blasted with large grit, acid-etched, and immersed in 0.9% NaCl), (2) a laser treatment (LT: laser treatment) titanium surface and (3) a laser and acid-treated (LAT: laser treatment, acid-etched) titanium surface.

Abstract:  BACKGROUND

The aim of the study was to evaluate whether early loading of implants with a chemically modified sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) (SLActive®) surface was non-inferior to conventional loading in terms of change in crestal bone level.

Abstract:  PURPOSE

The possibility of immediate or early loading has become popular in implant dentistry. A prerequisite for the immediate or early loading of an implant prosthesis is the achievement of initial stability in the implant. Moreover, in response to clinicians' interest in verifying clinical stability to determine the optimal time point for functional loading, a non-invasive method to assess implant stability has been developed on the basis of resonance frequency analysis (RFA). The primary objective of this study was to monitor the stability of sandblasted, large-grit, and acid-etched (SLA) implants with different diameters during the early phases of healing by RFA. The secondary objective was to evaluate how the initial stability of implants varied depending on different surface modifications and other contributing factors.
