Prosthetic complications (Table 4) According to Papaspyridakos et al. [2], indicators such as implant level (the relationship between the implant and bone) and the state of soft tissue around the implant are the most frequently used indices of implant success, followed by the presence and status of any implant prosthetic complication.
A series of risk indicators for implant survival, such as lack of oral hygiene, diabetes, smoking, and history of chronic periodontitis [ 2], has been related to the development of peri-implantitis [ 3].
The maxillary epithelium was assessed histologically after 4 weeks to evaluate laminin-332 (Ln-332) distribution and horseradish peroxidase invasion, as indicators of peri-implant epithelium (PIE) formation and PIE sealing to the implant surface, respectively.
Ms. Collins said, "My understanding is T.S.A. issued security directives recently to airports, airline carriers, T.S.A. screeners and foreign governments advising them to take added screening precautions and to be on the lookout for indicators of surgically implanted explosives".
These are few of the mediators to be explored as prognostic indicators for implant stability.
Because structural organization of components which mediate cell matrix and cell cell adhesion controls cell physiology these parameters could be a sensitive indicator for the biocompatibility of implant materials.
Chronic periodontitis is a risk indicator for implant failure.
However, insertion torque value is an important indicator for predicting the progress of implant treatment, and ISQ value is considered to be an important indicator for observing the treatment state of the implant.
Analysis of biomarkers in PMICF provides indicators of inflammation at the implant site, osteoclast differentiation and activation, bone resorption activity and bone turnover.
Adequate callus formation and disappearance of the fracture lines in the radiographs are simple yet useful indicators of sufficient bone healing to allow implant removal [64].
