- Interventions for replacing missing teeth: antibiotics at dental implant placement to prevent complications
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jul-2013
Some dental implant failures may be due to bacterial contamination at implant insertion. Infections around biomaterials are difficult to treat, and almost all infected implants have to be removed. In general, antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery is only indi
- 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: 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 the physical aspects of sexual dysfunction in women following pelvic radiotherapy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Feb-2015
Following pelvic radiotherapy (RT), a proportion of women experience problems related to sexual function, which are multifactorial in origin. The physical components relate to distortion of the perineum and vagina, which may occur as a result of surgery a
- Interventions for the prevention of nutritional rickets in term born children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Nov-2008
Nutritional rickets is a disease of growing children leading to bone deformities, bone pain, convulsions or delayed motor development. Today, high-incidence of nutritional rickets is mainly found in low-income countries.
- Interventions for the treatment of oral and oropharyngeal cancers: surgical treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jul-2011
Surgery is an important part of the management of oral cavity cancer with regard to both the removal of the primary tumour and removal of lymph nodes in the neck. Surgery is less frequently used in oropharyngeal cancer. Surgery alone may be treatment for
- Interventions for the treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jan-2014
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome, a condition affecting monochorionic twin pregnancies, is associated with a high risk of perinatal mortality and morbidity. A number of treatments have been introduced to treat the condition but it is unclear which intervent
- Interventions for treating chronic pelvic pain in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Mar-2015
Chronic pelvic pain is common in women in the reproductive and older age groups and causes disability and distress. Often investigation by laparoscopy reveals no obvious cause for the pain. As the pathophysiology of chronic pelvic pain is not well underst
- Interventions for treating constipation in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
Constipation is a common problem in late pregnancy. Circulating progesterone may be the cause of slower gastrointestinal movement in mid and late pregnancy.
- Interventions for treating functional dysphonia in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2008
Poor voice quality due to functional dysphonia can lead to a reduced quality of life. In occupations where voice use is substantial it can lead to a loss of employment.
