This clinical case demonstrates how the use of the CAD-CAM Echo technique allows obtaining aesthetic results by creating abutments entirely in zirconium oxide on which a zirconium-ceramic crown was cemented.

138 implants were inserted in 50 patients in the maxilla with bone type D3 or D4. Osteotomes with a hand mallet were used in the Control Group, the Magnetic Mallet in the Test Group. At 24 months the implant survival in the Control Group was 92.75%, in the Test Group 97.10%. The bone gain obtained in all patients remained stable at 24 months in both groups. The patients who underwent operation with the Magnetic Mallet did not report any complications linked to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which instead was encountered in two patients operated with osteotomes with a hand mallet.

70 Outlink² implants inserted in 32 patients with a bone expansion protocol performed with the Magnetic Mallet presented a survival of 98.57% and an average bone increase of 4.08 ±1.25 mm at 24 months. Patients reported no dizziness, nausea or vomiting after procedures, due to optimization of the transmission of the percussive force applied by the Magnetic Mallet in comparison to conventional mallets.

This study conducted on Outlink2 implants showed that different thicknesses of keratinized gums (>2 mm or <2 mm) are not a determining factor for the survival of the implant or for the maintenance of the crestal bone, but thick gums are capable of signifi cantly reducing infl ammation, plaque index and gingival recession (receding gums).

IMMEDIATE OCCLUSAL LOADING OF IMPLANTS PLACED IN FRESH SOCKETS AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION

In this study conducted on immediate implants in edentulous crests,
immediate loading shows to be clinically versatile and  advantageous in terms of aesthetic results and functional results (100% clinical success on 160 implants).

IMMEDIATE LOADING OF POST-EXTRACTION IMPLANTS: PRESENTATION OF A FULL-ARCH CLINICAL CASE

The aim of this article is to present a clinical case of immediate loading on post-extraction implants with a full-arch prosthesis, which made it possible to avoid the use of temporary mobile prostheses.

CLINICAL SOLUTIONS AND TECHNIQUES FOR CREATING A PROVISIONAL FULL-ARCH ON IMPLANTS WITH IMMEDIATE FUNCTION

Research and clinical experience accumulated over the last decades on prosthetic implants has shown an evolution in the rehabilitative methods of edentulous jaws. Two important results were obtained: an increase of the predictability of the treatments and a reduction in the operating times. Currently, the comparison of the cumulative success rate (CSR) between the traditional protocol and full-arch immediate loading does not show any statistically signifi cant differences, highlighting the predictability of the immediate technique.
With regard to this topic, the creation of a temporary prosthesis in resin equipped with a precise and passive metallic framework seems to be a necessary condition for an implant to be successful. An unsuccessful implant is strongly correlated to the creation of prostheses without a metallic framework, which shows that it is necessary to minimise the deformations of the prosthesis aid in order to prevent harmful and traumatic stress to the fi xtures.
There is much evidence in literature that the precision of the prosthesis is strongly infl uenced by the transferring of data in the laboratory. To remedy this problem, various authors have proposed techniques for transferring the position of the fi xtures onto a master model.
These systematically provide good precision to the detriment of diffi cult protocols and, at times, dependent operators. In our case, the metallic framework is created by means of a protocol that does not require the taking of imprints, thus eliminating one of the most delicate and important steps for the precision and passivation of the fi nal prosthesis. This clinical case describes the creation of an immediate temporary prosthesis with satisfying features in terms of resistance, passivation and accuracy in shorter execution times (within 8 hours). During the clinical phases, the procedures of preparing the metallic framework and its cementing on prosthetic posts are simple and can be carried out with materials easily available on the market.
Radiographic controls show the correct coupling between the mechanical portions splinted between themselves, unlike the cases resolved with the use of single-casting where the most distal elements are often positioned.
