“Clinical and Radiographic Assessment of Dental Implants Modified by Bisphosphonates versus Hyaluronic Acid: Randomized Controlled Trial”

Abstract

Patients experiencing tooth loss due to age, injury, or disease suffer often not only from functional constraints, but also from the accompanying psychological and social consequences. The replacement of missing teeth is frequently accomplished by inserting single-tooth implants or implant-supported prostheses. Dental implant is considered the best treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth, in order to restore patients’ appearance, speech and health [1,2,3].

Dental implant is entirely positioned into the jaw for supporting the dental prosthesis [4]. It is placed into the jaw in the manner to penetrate from the inside to the outside of the bone. In the inside of jaw, bone sympathy and stress relaxation are important and in the outside of bone, in oral cavity, the adequate strength is necessary [5]. However, the biomechanical behavior of bone structures as well as dental implant is influenced by several factors that interact with one another [6,7]. In the oral environment, many factors influence the long-term success of prosthesis implantation. Some of them are reliant on the subjects such as load intensity and direction, occlusion, wear, temperature, moisture, and quality of supporting tissues,
