- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: augmentation procedures of the maxillary sinus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2014
Insufficient bone volume is a common problem encountered in the rehabilitation of the edentulous posterior maxillae with implant-supported prostheses. Bone volume is limited by the presence of the maxillary sinus together with loss of alveolar bone height
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: dental implants in fresh extraction sockets (immediate, immediate-delayed and delayed implants)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Aug-2010
'Immediate' implants are placed in dental sockets just after tooth extraction. 'Immediate-delayed' implants are those implants inserted after weeks up to about a couple of months to allow for soft tissue healing. 'Delayed' implants are those placed therea
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: dental implants in zygomatic bone for the rehabilitation of the severely deficient edentulous maxilla
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Mar-2014
Dental implants are used for replacing missing teeth. Placing dental implants is limited by the presence of adequate bone volume permitting their anchorage. Several bone augmentation procedures have been developed to solve this problem. Zygomatic implants
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: denture chewing surface designs in edentulous people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Aug-2008
When constructing complete dentures for edentulous patients, ultimately patient satisfaction is key. Complete dentures can be produced with different types of occlusal schemes (chewing surfaces) and it is widely accepted that the occlusal scheme for compl
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: different times for loading dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-May-2013
To minimise the risk of implant failures after their placement, dental implants are kept load-free for 3 to 8 months to establish osseointegration (conventional loading). It would be beneficial if the healing period could be shortened without jeopardising
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: different types of dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Aug-2014
Dental implants are available in different materials, shapes and with different surface characteristics. In particular, numerous implant designs and surface modifications have been developed for improving clinical outcome. This is an update of a Cochrane
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation techniques for dental implant treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2009
Dental implants require sufficient bone to be adequately stabilised. For some patients implant treatment would not be an option without horizontal or vertical bone augmentation. A variety of materials and surgical techniques are available for bone augment
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: hyperbaric oxygen therapy for irradiated patients who require dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Sep-2013
Dental implants offer one way to replace missing teeth. Patients who have undergone radiotherapy and those who have also undergone surgery for cancer in the head and neck region may particularly benefit from reconstruction with implants. Hyperbaric oxygen
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: maintaining and recovering soft tissue health around dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Nov-2010
It is important to institute an effective supportive therapy to maintain or recover soft tissue health around dental implants. Different maintenance regimens have been suggested, however it is unclear which are the most effective.
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: management of soft tissues for dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jan-2012
Dental implants are usually placed by elevating a soft tissue flap, but in some instances, they can also be placed flapless reducing patient discomfort. Several flap designs and suturing techniques have been proposed. Soft tissues are often manipulated an
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: partially absent dentition
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
Management of individuals presenting with partial loss of teeth is a common task for dentists. Outcomes important to the management of missing teeth in the partially absent dentition should be systematically summarized. This review recognizes both the cha
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: preprosthetic surgery versus dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2015
Preprosthetic surgery refers to the surgical procedures that can modify the oral anatomy to facilitate the retention of conventional dentures. Osseointegrated implants offer an alternative treatment to improve denture retention. A denture may be connected
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: surgical techniques for placing dental implants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-May-2008
Many variations in the surgical technique for the placement of dental implants have been developed since the introduction of implant surgery into clinical practice. These include variations in the timing of implant placement in relation to the tooth remov
- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: treatment of peri-implantitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Sep-2012
One of the key factors for the long-term success of oral implants is the maintenance of healthy tissues around them. Bacterial plaque accumulation induces inflammatory changes in the soft tissues surrounding oral implants and it may lead to their progress
- Interventions for restoring patency of occluded central venous catheter lumens
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Feb-2012
Central venous catheters (CVCs) facilitate the administration of intravenous drugs, fluids, blood products and parenteral nutrition to patients with either chronic disease or critical illness. Despite a pivotal role within medical management, a common com
- Interventions for rosacea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Apr-2015
Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition affecting the face, characterised by flushing, redness, pimples, pustules and dilated blood vessels. The eyes are often involved and thickening of the skin with enlargement (phymas), especially of the nose, can o
- Interventions for self‐harm in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Dec-2015
Self-harm (SH; intentional self-poisoning or self-injury) is common in children and adolescents, often repeated, and strongly associated with suicide. This is an update of a broader Cochrane review on psychosocial and pharmacological treatments for delibe
- Interventions for sensory impairment in the upper limb after stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Apr-2010
Sensory impairments significantly limit the ability to use the upper limb after stroke. However, little is known about the effects of interventions used to address such impairments.
- Interventions for sexual dysfunction following treatments for cancer in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Feb-2016
The proportion of people living with and surviving cancer is growing. This has led to increased awareness of the importance of quality of life, including sexual function, in those affected by cancer. Sexual dysfunction is a potential long-term complicatio
- Interventions for sexual dysfunction in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Sep-2015
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are believed be at higher risk of problems with sexual function than age-matched peers. Problems with sexuality or sexual function associated with COPD may arise as a results of hormonal, physiologi
