Heat transmission along the surface of dental implant
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Objectives: Temperature changes along an implant body have not been widely studied. The objectives of this in vitro study were (i) to establish if the temperature of the abutment influences the temperature of the implant ...
An in vitro assessment of the bacterial sealing capacity of narrow diameter implants with Morse-taper abutment connections
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Background: Lack of appropriate bone thickness is a common clinical limitation for tooth replacement, often requiring narrow implants, which have shown better results when combined with Morse taper connections. Little is ...
Effect of diamond-like carbon coating on implant drill wear during implant site preparation
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Dental implants are artificial fixtures that are surgically inserted into the jaws to replace
missing teeth. The success of dental implant treatment is dependent on achieving successful
osseointegration (Branemark et al. ...
