Issues related to single-tooth implants

Article Abstract:

A single-tooth implant can be beneficial under certain conditions. This is an artificial tooth that replaces the tooth that was lost. In most cases, the tooth loss is caused by trauma, tooth fracture or congenitally missing teeth. A single-tooth implant is used when the patient does not want the adjacent teeth ground down in preparation for a bridge. However, the adjacent teeth must be in good condition, without cavities, and there must be enough bone to support the implant. Eighty to ninety percent of these teeth are still functional at 10-years.

Affordable implant prosthetics using a screwless implant system

Article Abstract:

Dental implants using cement, rather than screws, may improve the performance and increase the utilization of implants in tooth restoration. Early dental implants affixed a dental crown to a metallic post with a screw. The time and expense of fitting screw-anchored implants, and problems with stable fixation, have resulted in the limited use of implant technologies in restorative dentistry. The Bicon Implant System uses a locking taper to anchor the crown to the implant post without a screw, reducing operative time, complexity, and cost.

Replacing posterior teeth with freestanding implants: four-year prosthodontic results of a prospective study

Article Abstract:

Single-tooth dental implants in the back of the mouth appear to be highly effective. Dental implants are artificial teeth attached to metallic posts which are screwed into the underlying bone, creating a strong, permanent replacement for a missing tooth. Researchers evaluated the Bicon Dental Implant system in 432 posterior, freestanding implants. In four years, fewer than 1% loosened or fractured, and only 2% of the attached crowns fractured during placement.
