Clinical results and guidelines on Steri-Oss endosseous implants
Abstract:
A statistical study of the Steri-Oss implant system, concerning 673 implants placed in 280 patients in the course of a 5-year period, allows a therapeutic proposal to be made that will optimize the success rate of osseointegration. The study revealed indications specific to each type of implant, according to the depth and density of available bone. The use of titanium screws is recommended whenever bone quality is type I. In all other cases, where the density of bone decreases and approaches type IV, especially in the posterior maxilla, cylindrical hydroxyapatite-coated implants are recommended.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
