This Collection focuses on dental implants, highlighting the intersection of implantology with key dental specialties as well as showcasing new technical approaches. It features the BDJ Implant Maintenance special issue.
The All-on-4-6 technique provides our patients with a non-removable dental bridge that is secured by as few as four to six dental implants – all on the same day. All-on-4-6 is the perfect option for patients who have or need dentures or need complete restorations on the upper or ...
The aim of this meta-analysis was to test the null hypothesis of no difference in the failure rates, marginal bone loss (MBL) and post-operative infection for implants inserted in male or female patients, against the alternative hypothesis of a difference. An electronic search without time or ...
porcelain and iridium tubes were also tested for use as dental implants. In the early 1900s, Dr. E.J. Greenfield of Kansas presented a paper titled “implantation of artificial crown and bridge abutments” at the Academy of Stomatology of Philadelphia. In his paper, he describes the ...

The aim of this study was to report a clinical comparative assessment of crestal bone level change around single implants in fresh extraction sockets in the esthetic zone of the maxilla either immediately loaded or loaded after a delay. Forty patients were included in a prospective, randomized stu...
(mean difference = -4.21; 95% CI -8.48 to 0.06; P = 0.053).Preliminary 4-months post-loading data suggest zygomatic implants were associated with statistically significantly less prosthetic (one vs six patients) and implant failures (one patient lost three implants versus 35 implants in eight ...
