ABSTRACT
In 48 patients with full teeth loss 272 implants were placed with subsequent oral rehabilitation by fixed and removable dental restorations. Clinical efficiency rates after 5 years of follow-up were 99.6% for implants and 98.2% for restorations. High osseointegration values were obtained with mean "Periotest" value to be 3.6 and bone level loss of 0.7 mm. Best osseointegration features were revealed in cases of fixed restorations retained by 8 and more implants.

Smoking effect on oral fluid protein metabolism and oxidative balance were studied in medical school students (15 smokers and 15 none-smokers as a control group, mean age 19,8±1,4 years). Smoking caused intensification of lipoperoxidation and decrease in antioxidation activity thus proving it to be the reason of harmful metabolic shift in oral fluid.

The article summarizes clinical experience on 1173 self-tapping cylindrical screw implants with polished neck and internal hexagon placed in 432 patients. The patients were followed-up for 38±3.7 months (1 to 7 years) after restorative phase of treatment. Final clinical effectiveness was 93.7%. Best results were obtained when placing implants 3 to 12 months after teeth extraction. Rational perspective in implant construction improvement is switched and universal platform approach.

OBJECTIVE: to assess clinical efficiency of restorative treatment on short porous-surfaced implants. One hundred and fifty-five porous-surfaced 5, 7 and 9 mm implants were placed in 71 patients with partial teeth loss and significant alveolar bone loss. Only one implant failure was observed one month after placement. Other 154 implants were used as restoration abutments. One year after restorative treatment mean periotest rate was -5,3, mean radiologicaly confirmed marginal bone loss 0,31 mm. No treatment failure were revealed during 3 years of follow-up.
