fa Periodontio-integrated implants: A revolutionary concept پریودنتولوژی Periodontology پژوهشي Research Though the fields of regenerative dentistry and tissue engineering have undergone significant advancements, yet its application to the field of implant-dentistry is lacking in the sense that presently the implants are being placed with the aim of attaining osseointegration without giving consideration to the regeneration of periodontium around the implant. The following article reveals the clinical benefits of such periodontio-integrated implants and reviews the relevant scientific proofs. A comprehensive research to provide scientific evidence supporting the feasibility of periodontio-integrated implants was carried out using various online resources such as PubMed, Wiley-Blackwell, Elsevier etc., to retrieve studies published between 1980 and 2012 using the following key words: “implant,” “tissue engineering,” “periodontium,” “osseo-integration,” “osseoperception,” “regeneration” (and their synonyms) and it was found that in the past three decades, several successful experiments have been conducted to devise “implant supported by the periodontium” that can maintain form, function and potential proprioceptive responses similar to a natural tooth. Based on these staunch evidences, the possibility of the future clinical use of such implant can be strongly stated which would revolutionize the implant dentistry and will be favored by the patients as well. However, further studies are required to validate the same.<hr><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><b>Source: </b>Dental Research Journal </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><a href="http://drj.mui.ac.ir/index.php/drj/article/view/1559" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> Implant, osseointegration, periodontium, tissue engineering 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-3441&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Minkle Gulati mink_gulati@ rediffmail.com 100319475328460015772 100319475328460015772 Yes Departments of Periodontics, Babu Banarasi Das College of Dental Sciences, Babu Banarasi Das University Vishal Anand 100319475328460015773 100319475328460015773 No Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Vivek Govila 100319475328460015774 100319475328460015774 No Departments of Periodontics, Babu Banarasi Das College of Dental Sciences, Babu Banarasi Das University Nikil Jain 100319475328460015775 100319475328460015775 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Vinayaka Missions Sankarachariyar Dental College, Salem, Tamil Nadu Pavitra Rastogi 100319475328460015776 100319475328460015776 No Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Rohit Bahuguna 100319475328460015777 100319475328460015777 No Department of Prosthodontics, Sardar Patel Post Graduate Institute of Medical and Dental Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India Bhargavi Anand 100319475328460015778 100319475328460015778 No Department of Prosthodontics, Sardar Patel Post Graduate Institute of Medical and Dental Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India
