High female feeding rate prior to implantation was associated with lower brood mortality, regardless of implant type (Table 2b).
Variables include implant type (smooth or textured), duration of implant placement, plane of implantation, and reason for explantation.
She looked through her paperwork, then called her GP, but there was no record of her implant type.
He added that many patients in clinical studies had elected to have follow-up operations to change implant type, size or position.
A study of more than 4,000 children with cochlear implants published last month in Pediatrics confirmed that the increased risk had mostly been borne by children with an implant type that was no longer on the market.
The implant type and material may influence the periimplant parameters especially the bone level.
In this study, only one implant type (Straumann, Tissue Level) with a polished neck was examined.
There is no apparent consensus on the optimal implant type for these injuries.
Significant differences were observed in the gender, implant type, and width of keratinized mucosa around the implant.
In the present study, the gender, implant type, and width of keratinized mucosa were identified as risk factors.
One implant type may thus succeed by minimizing interface motion, whereas the other may succeed by minimizing interface abrasion.
