Introduction: Dental implants are considered one of the best treatment options for completely or partially edentulous patients. But due to lack of knowledge and education many patients especially in the region of underdeveloped or developing countries do not opt for this. In current study the knowledge, attitude and awareness about dental implants was studied in a referral center and its outreach centers in Nepal. Purpose: To determine the status of knowledge, attitude and awareness about dental implants in a tertiary care hospital and its outreach centers. Materials and Methods: 192 patients were asked about dental implants using a standard questionnaire. Their response were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results: Among the respondents 52.6% were aware of implant therapy, however in specific knowledge only 24.5% could attribute the jaw as site for implant placement. It was also found that rather than dental professionals (17.7%), friends and acquaintances (30.2%) play a role in awareness. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study limited knowledge and awareness about dental implants was noticed and role of dentists for the information is lacking in our part of world.

Success of implant technology is due to several other factors such as biologic factors, local factors, and clinician and implant-related factors. Dental implant surface technologies have evolved rapidly in the recent times to enhance the bone formation on their surface. Following the placement of the implant, there is a predictable sequence of bone turnover and replacement at the interface that allows the newly formed bone to adapt to the implant surface. Chemical composition of the implant surface can differ markedly due to manufacturing, finishing, thermal treatment, blasting, etching, coatings, and even sterilization procedures. Based on these considerations, a careful control of implant surface composition becomes a relevant procedure to produce high-quality devices. This paper reviews the impact of various macrotopographical, microtopographical, and nanotopographical features at various stages of osseointegration and gauges the relative merits of various current innovations to the surface topography of titanium endosseous implants.

This case report describes the use of temporary anchorage devices for an 18-year-old Indian girl with a skeletal Class II malocclusion. Class II skeletal base indicating a vertical growth pattern with prognathic maxilla and orthognathic mandible in relation to the anterior cranial base, bilateral Angle's Class II molar and canine relationship with proclined and forwardly placed upper and lower incisors with an overjet of 7 mm and an overbite of 2 mm, and a convex soft tissue profile with an acute nasolabial angle and potentially competent lips. The treatment includes the extractions of the maxillary first premolars and mandibular second premolars, fixed appliance mechanotherapy, miniscrew-aided maxillary anterior retraction, and protraction of mandibular molars. The Angle's Class II Division I malocclusion, proclined upper and lower anteriors, overjet of 7 mm, and convex soft tissue profile with potentially competent lips were corrected. The crowding and rotation along with proclined incisors were corrected significantly improving patient's facial profile. The trending use of implants in orthodontics for everyday troublesome and complicated protocols is comparatively much efficient and quicker with the aids of mini-implants.

Insufficient bone volume is a common problem encountered in the rehabilitation of the edentulous posterior maxilla with implant-supported prostheses. The bone available for implant placement may be limited by the presence of the maxillary sinus together with loss of alveolar bone height and it may be increased by augmentation. This case report presents the rehabilitation of the right maxillary molar region using direct sinus lift followed by immediate placement of the implant. It helps in reducing the treatment time and increases the patient comfort.

Implant-supported overdentures offer many advantages over conventional complete dentures. Implant placement in the atrophic mandible is complicated as the available bone is insufficient. Different therapeutic options have been proposed, most being more complicated and expensive. Nerve repositioning is an excellent alternative to augmentation procedures. [1] But it is relatively difficult, and has a huge risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) damage. This report presents a case of mandibular atrophy in which the IAN repositioning was successfully performed, and the prosthodontic rehabilitation completed with implant placement and fabrication of an implant retained overdenture.

Purpose: This in vitro study was to investigate the accuracy of two kinds of impression techniques (open and closed tray) with three impression materials (polyvinylsiloxane [PVS]/polyether [PE]/vinylsiloxanether [VSE]) on angulated implants. Materials and Methods: The reference model was a stainless steel die with six analogs placed at 0°, 10°, and 20° toward the center axis. Custom acrylic trays were made on a stone model replica of the reference die. A total of sixty samples of twenty each were made under each type of impression material. Each group was divided into open and closed tray groups. Two types of splinting were carried out in the open tray: Group 1 - with floss and pattern resin and Group 2 - with a plastic rod (coffee stirrer) and resin. Impressions were poured with Type IV stone to obtain experimental casts and were evaluated for positional accuracy by coordinate measuring machine in three dimensions (X, Y, and Z). Differences in measurements were analyzed using analysis of variance and Tukey′s test. Results: The lowest mean deviation was found in casts made from open tray splinted with floss and resin. There was also a significant difference in the measurements of PVS, PE, and VSE. Conclusion: VSE impression material yielded more accurate casts than those of PVS and PE. Splinting with floss and pattern resin was found to be more accurate than stirrer and resin.

Introduction: Marketing of implants stored in different media other than air could improve implant wettability resulting in a favorable implant bone interface with subsequent optimized early osseointegration. The effect that the different storage media, such as saline, air and argon, have on the early osseointegration of plasma treated, titanium dental implants was investigated and was compared to conventional implants stored in air, in an ovine pelvis model. 96 implants were inserted in the iliac crests of four sheep and tested for osseointegration by comparing insertion torque values and removal torque values at 4 and 6 weeks postinsertion. Twelve implants were inserted in each ovine iliac crest (24 per sheep representing six implants from each experimental group). Saline demonstrated the highest increase in torque values with argon demonstrating a linear decrease. The average percentage gain for each of the storage media at 4 weeks were plasma/air = +2%, plasma/saline = +30.4%, air = +9.6% and plasma/argon = −30.4%. The results were only statistically significant for the saline group at 4 weeks and the argon group at 2 weeks. All storage media demonstrated an initial decrease in torque value of 14.25% at 2 weeks before a strong rise in torque value could be observed. Saline as a storage media has great potential for improving early osseointegration. An interesting observation made was that the majority of the dental implants tend to demonstrate an initial decrease in osseointegration before demonstrating a strong rise in torque values. Further studies are recommended for the periods of 6 and 8 weeks after implant placement. Context: Research protocol. Aims: The purpose of the study was to compare the early osseointegration potential of plasma-enhanced implants stored in different storage mediums, to conventional implant stored in air. Settings and Design: The experiment consisted out of a comparative in vivo pilot study in which the early osseointegration potential of implants stored in four different storage media was compared. These implants were inserted in the iliac crest of four sheep, and the degree of osseointegration of the different groups was compared at 2 and 4 weeks after insertion. The osseointegration potential of the implants was evaluated by measuring and documenting the insertion torque and comparing it to the removal torque values of each implant. Subjects and Methods: A total of 96 (n = 96) dental implants (3.75 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length), including 24 plasma-enhanced dental implants stored in air; 24 plasma-enhanced dental implants stored in argon; 24 plasma-enhanced dental implants stored in saline and 24 conventional dental implants stored in air; were inserted into the iliac crests of 4 sheep.

Dentitions damaged by periodontal disease and dental caries often cause problems to the patients and to the dentists, at least regarding the choice of therapy. A recent trend in the replacement of missing teeth is by dental implant. The role of various factors that would affect the prognosis of dental implants should be carefully considered before attempting to rehabilitate the patients with implants. Prognosis is a prediction of probable course, duration, and outcome of a specific disease based on a general knowledge of the pathogenesis of the disease and presence of risk factors for the disease. Factors that could determine the prognosis of implants are (1) periodontally compromised patients, (2) age, (3) bone density, (4) occlusion, (5) smoking, (6) genetics, (7) systemic diseases, (8) microorganisms, (9) antibiotics, and (10) type of implants.
