Analysis of 435 screw-vent dental implants placed in 161 patients: software enhancement of clinical evaluation

Implant Dentistry
Murray L Arlin

Abstract

This paper demonstrates how a computer software program was utilized in a private practice to supplement the clinical evaluation of one implant system. Clinical data were entered into a computer database at the time of implant placement and up to 13 years for follow-up appointments. Data were divided into two groups and subjected to lifetable analyses. The focus group consisted of a machined-titanium, screw-type implant with an internal abutment connection from one manufacturer. The residual database consisted of mixed implant designs with a variety of abutment connections and surfaces from several other manufacturers. Lifetable survival data between the two groups were generated. Cumulative survival rates from 0 to 13 years were 94.2% (n = 435) for the focus group and 90.1% (n = 2339) for the reference group. There were 25 implants lost in the focus group and 11 other implants were deemed "at risk." Survival results from other lifetable analyses are also presented for the two groups. Documentation of empirical clinical data in a computer software database over a period of time can help private practice clinicians better evaluate the dental implant systems used in their practices.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
