An 8-year compilation of clinical results obtained with Steri-Oss endosseous implants
Abstract:
This 8-year study shows an increased success rate for Steri-Oss' osseointegrated implants in full, partial, and single-tooth edentation, compared to previous 5- and 6-year studies. A total of 1,499 implants placed in 389 women and 216 men had an average success rate of 96.1%. Of the 716 implants placed in the maxilla, 697 were exposed and only 31 failed-a success rate of 95.6%. Of 783 placed in the mandible, 750 were exposed and 25 failed-a success rate of 96.7%. Performance comparisons of Steri-Oss titanium threaded, hydroxyapatite-coated, cylindrical implants and titanium plasma-sprayed cylindrical implants showed, as in previous reports, a higher success rate for the coated and sprayed implants, especially for short implants placed in soft maxillary bone.

Fractures: 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...
