The influence of a three‐layered flexible coating of Polyactive® on bone stress distribution
was investigated by three‐dimensional finite element models of mandibular bone, in which a …

Recently, an elastomeric polyethylene‐oxide polybutylene‐terephthalate (PEO:PBT) copolymer
(Polyactive®) was introduced, which exhibits bone‐bonding characteristics. In contrast …

Purpose: This retrospective study investigated the survival of dental implants placed in the
maxilla after composite grafting of the sinus and an average of 55 months of loading. Patients …

A clinical, histological, and radiographic examination was performed on 77 permucosal
dental implants, made of dense sintered hydroxylapatite: 34 solid cylinders and 43 hollow …

Of the many materials that are applied in dental implantology, most have a high Young's
modulus. In the concept of osseointegration, which is generally preferred, chewing forces are …

One hundred and seventy‐three IMZ two‐stage implants have been clinically and radiologically
evaluated for a 5 year period. The implants were placed in the anterior region of the …

In addition to bone‐bonding bioma‐terials such as calcium phosphate ceramics and
Bioglass/glass ceramics, an elastomeric poly(ethylene oxide) poly(butylene terephthalate) (PEO/…

Replacement of anterior teeth with fixed or removable prostheses is often a compromise,
because the resorbed residual ridge in the area of missing teeth cannot be ideally restored …

In this study a comparison is made between intraoral and extraoral radiographical techniques
for quantitative measurements of bone density in the edentulous mandible. A phantom …

Twenty-four implants were placed in the jaws of five dogs for evaluation of the possibility of
correcting local resorption. Implants and surrounding tissues were evaluated clinically, …
