The etiology of peri-implant crestal bone loss is today better understood and certain factors
proposed in the past have turned out to not be of concern. Regardless, the incidence of …

Periapical radiography is a routine radiographic procedure performed by dentists on a daily
basis. It can be taken with two techniques, the paralleling technique (P tech) and the …

Statement of problem Misfits in the abutment-prosthesis interface represent a setback for
implant-supported prostheses. Periapical radiographs have been used as an auxiliary …

With monolithic materials and the new technologies for framework production, assessment
of passive fit before fabrication of the definitive prosthesis or its framework is essential to …

Statement of problem Studies of interproximal contact loss (ICL) associated with implant-
supported fixed prostheses (ISFPs) have typically used dental floss or metal strips to …

Background/purpose Accuracy of using implant length on periapical radiographs as
calibration reference for measurements has not been verified. This study aimed to verify the …

Statement of problem The fit of implant-supported prostheses plays an important role in their
mechanical and biological stability. Clinically, the prosthetic fit is typically assessed …

Statement of problem Some radiographic film holders produce radiographs with geometric
distortion that may interfere with diagnosis. However, whether the distortion can be corrected …

Statement of problem Misfits at the implant-abutment joint (IAJ) can cause the biological and
mechanical failure of implant therapy. Standard parallel periapical radiography (PERI) is the …

Statement of problem Misfits at the implant-prosthesis interface may compromise implant-
supported prostheses. Periapical radiographs are frequently used to detect misfit and can be …
