The Development Of Implants And Implantable Materials
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1995Biomaterials are the building blocks of implant technology. They enable implants to function properly and endure the harsh environment of the human body but they are often the cause of implant failure. To reduce failure rates and substantially improve implant function, new biomaterials must be developed.

Implants and implant reactions
Diagnostic Histopathology, 2016Abstract Total joint arthroplasty is one of the most successful of all operations, but arthroplasty failures do occur. By evaluating the retrieved devices and periprosthetic tissues, pathologists can often recognize clues about the mechanism of arthroplasty failure, information that can be of value to treating physicians, manufacturers and regulatory ...

The Trigonointestinal Implantations
European Urology, 1979The author reports the indications, operative technique and long-term results of trigonosigmoidostomy in 26 cases of bladder exstrophy. The long-term results were considered as excellent in 20 cases, satisfactory in 4 and bad in 2. Even after a long period of up to 20 years, the function of the ureterotrigonal junction remains intact and ascending ...

Intracochlear misdirected implantation of a cochlear implant
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2006This paper discusses a rare complication of an intracochlear misdirection of the electrode of a cochlear implant in a 55-year-old male. The patient received a cochlear implant using the mastoid-saving surgical approach. Intraoperative measurements showed impedance and NRT reactions suggesting a reasonable function of the inner ear and the implant ...

Cochlear implants are an appropriate alternative for selected deaf children and adults who do not benefit from conventional amplification. Improvements have been documented in speech perception and speech production skills. Multichannel systems, which provide spectral information in addition to temporal and intensity cues, have demonstrated performance

Cochlear implantation: an overview of existing implants.
Acta oto-rhino-laryngologica Belgica, 1998Cochlear implants (CI) bypass the external and middle ear and parts of the inner ear, by delivering electrical stimuli to the remaining neural fibres of the acoustic nerve in a meaningful way. Many features of current CI are similar. They are all multi-channel devices with intracochlear placement of the active electrodes and with transcutaneous ...

Cochlear implants seem to be the first long step in the search for a mechanical prosthesis that would restore hearing to the profoundly deaf. While present developments with implants appear to have been successful in providing deafened individuals with a reasonably wide range of information, the ultimate goal, the full comprehension of discriminable ...

Clinical complications with implants and implant prostheses
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2003The purpose of this article is to identify the types of complications that have been reported in conjunction with endosseous root form implants and associated implant prostheses. A Medline and an extensive hand search were performed on English-language publications beginning in 1981.

Implantation of Submammary Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2004Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are routinely placed in the left pectoral area using a transvenous approach. This approach may result in poor cosmetic outcome and cause psychological problems, especially in younger patients. To avoid this, several alternative implantation techniques have been developed.

Treatment of Peri-Implantitis and the Failing Implant
Dental Clinics of North America, 2015Appropriate treatment of implants is becoming increasingly important for the general dentist as the number of implants placed per year continues to increase. Early diagnosis of peri-implantitis is imperative; initiating the correct treatment protocol depends on a proper diagnosis.
