    Notes: summary  The aim of the study was to investigate whether the properties of a pre-sintered, hot isostatic post-compacted (HIP) ZrO2 are adequate for use in three–five-unit fixed partial dentures (FPDs) and to evaluate the clinical results. Twenty three–five-unit FPDs were fabricated for 18 patients on a total of 56 abutments. They were all made on abutments cut with a shoulder preparation and cemented with a zinc phosphate cement. They were clinically followed for 24 months. After 24 months all FPDs were still in use without any fractures or clinical wear but in three cases (15%) minor chip-of fractures were observed. Marginal integrity was rated excellent at 45 abutments and acceptable at 11. Within the limitations of this 2-year clinical follow-up study, FPDs made of pre-sintered HIP ZrO2 core material veneered with a compatible ceramic is an acceptable alternative in the fabrication of FPDs with the extensions investigated in this study. Special attention, however, must be paid to designing the core for an occlusal shape that provides sufficient support for the veneer.

    Notes: Using 5 Labrador dogs, certain characteristics of the peri-implant tissues were analyzed after using a 1-step surgical procedure for installation of Brånemark® implants. Six titanium implants, 3 in each mandibular quadrant, were installed in the regions of the right and left first molars and the fourth and third premolars. In the right mandibular quadrant, a traditional 2-step procedure was employed, whilst in the left quadrant, a 1-step procedure was carried out. The animals were monitored during a 6-month period. Biopsies of the healed peri-implant mucosa showed signs of superficial inflammation. The histological analysis revealed that i) the connective tissue lateral to the junctional epithelium showed limited accumulations of inflammatory cells (PICT), and ii) that at implant sites that had been exposed to the oral cavity for 6 months (1-step implants), an inflammatory cell infiltrate (abutment ICT) consistently was present in the tissues facing the abutment-fixture junction (AFJ). This infiltrate was separated from the bone crest by a 0.8mm-wide zone of normal connective tissue. Irrespective of the surgical procedure applied, the radiographic and histometric measurements disclosed that i) the crestal bone loss was about 2.4mm, ii) the height of the peri-implant mucosa varied from 3.5mm to 3.9mm, iii) the bone crest was located 1.1–1.5 mm apical of AFJ as well as of the apical termination of the junctional epithelium (aJE), and iv) a junctional epithelium of 2.1–2.4mm faced the implant surface. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that, using a dog model, titanium dental implants ad modum Branemark installed according to a 1-step or to a 2-step surgical procedure will obtain similar soft tissue adaptation and proper bone anchorage (osseointegration). Further studies are, however, required to ascertain the long-term clinical feasibility of the 1-step approach.

    Notes: In a combined in vitro and in vivo study strain gauges were used to register the deformation in two terminal implant abutment cylinders, when connecting three different prosthetic appliances. The prosthetic constructions were placed on the abutments and fastened both in vitro and in vivo by using different torque sequences. Furthermore, in the in vitro situation the three medial abutments were replaced by abutments which were 100 μm shorter.The results show that even if the prosthetic constructions were judged to have a good clinical fit, relatively large External Preloads were registered both in vitro and in vivo. No significant differences in axial force or in bending moment were found between the torque sequences in vivo. There were, however, significant differences in axial force as well as in bending moment in the in vitro experiment. When the shorter medial abutments were used in vitro, a change in the axial force of approximately 200N was registered. The results confirm that the methodological approach used in this study is valid when evaluating preloads.

    Notes: A clinical and radiographical study was performed to evaluate whether initial submergence of titanium fixtures is an obligate treatment measure for the establishment of proper bone anchorage when implants a.m. Brånemark are used. The sample was comprised of 11 subjects with edentulous mandibles. A split-mouth design was employed; in the right mandibular quadrant a traditional 2-step procedure for fixture installation and abutment connection was utilized, while in the left quadrant a 1-step procedure was carried out, i.e., fixtures were placed and abutments were connected in one and the same session. Three to 4 months after fixture installation, fixed bridgeworks were fabricated and rigidly connected to the implants. Clinical examinations (including probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing and implant stability test) were performed after 12 and 18 months. Radiographs were taken following insertion of the bridges and at the 12- and 18-month re-examinations. The probing pocket depth, the bleeding on probing, the implant stability and the radiographic determinations were similar for the 2 groups of treatment alternatives. This indicates that titanium fixtures a.m. Brinemark can be properly anchored (osseointegrated) in mandibular bone and successfully used for bridge retention also when a 1-step procedure is used for implant installation.

    Notes: In order to satisfy the need to restore the aesthetics, phonetics and comfort and to facilitate optimal hygiene procedures, 20 edentulous patients were treated with a new concept of overdenture therapy on implants ad modum Brånemark. After 24±3.5 months the patients were re-examined. They were asked to answer a questionnaire and use a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to give their opinion on the prosthetic treatment. The results indicate that an implant-retained overdenture in the maxilla with this design can satisfy the patients needs in aesthetics, phonetics and comfort and can 1 facilitate oral hygiene measures.

    Notes: Abstract: This retrospective study was designed to verify the factors that influence implant failures. Six prosthodontic clinics in Sweden participated in the study, and together they included a total of 54 patients treated between January 1988 and December 1996. All patients were completely edentulous in the maxilla, and received either a fixed prosthesis or an overdenture supported by at least 4 implants (Brånemark System®). Half of the patients belonged to the study group, and an inclusion criterion for this group was that they had lost at least half of their implants. To reduce bias, the patients in the control group were matched to the study group, i.e. they were selected so that both groups were as identical as possible. The results of the study indicate that the control group had a better initial bone support than the study group. Furthermore, the patients in the study group suffered from circumstances that could induce implant failure, such as bruxism, personal grief, depression, as well as addictions to cigarettes, alcohol and/or narcotics. On the study form the clinicians were asked to give their own opinion of the reason for implant failure. The answers given could easily be grouped into 5 different topics, and this experience can be useful to improve patient selection. This study suggests that there are certain factors of importance to consider to prevent a cluster phenomenon of implant failures i.e. lack of bone support, heavy smoking habits and bruxism.

    Notes: It is known that macrophages play an important role in the removal of foreign particulate matter from tissue. When powdered dental amalgam is introduced into the soft tissues an amalgam tattoo is formed due to the intracellular degradation of amalgam by macrophages and their polykaryons. It was therefore feasible to study the effects of particulate amalgams as well as their individual phases on macrophages in vitro. The parameters compared were rate of the phagocytosis, changes of cellular morphology, and release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to demonstrate plasma membrane permeability. It was shown that all the alloys except the Sn8Hg particles (γ2-phase) and γ2-containing Revalloy were effectively phagocytized by macrophages, and the alterationsin cellular morphology were slight during the first day. Prominant cellular damage was seen in cultures treated with particulate Ag2Hg3 (γ1-phase) and Revalloy for 1 week. A slight increase in LDH activity in the medium was seen one hour after the alloy treatment. The LDH activities due to the amalgam treatment increased in the order Dispersalloy 〈 Revalloy 〈 Sybraloy. Intraperitoneal phagocytosis did not cause any morphological changes in macrophages, but the per cent of phagocytosis was diminished.
