A 52-year-old patient presents at a prevention session. The patient has no systemic disease and is not taking any medication. He has had various dental treatments and also has two active carious lesions. In addition, the patient has four implants (2nd, 3rd and 4th quadrants). He is revealed to have early periodontal disease (stage IV, grade B). His periodontal condition is stable; a probe depth of 5 mm is only evident at the implant in region 36. Gingivitis is also identified.

Long-term success in implant therapy is an aim that all clinicians strive for. Fundamental to this is proper implant placement, surgical site preparation, and good osseointegration after insertion. Although a torque value is a basic prerequisite for primary stability, it alone does not provide complete information for the clinician. Therefore, knowledge of ISQ values is fundamental to assess both primary implant stability (mechanical stability) and secondary implant stability (biological stability or osseointegration).

Snus este de obicei pus în contact cu mucoasa bucală prin plasarea acestuia sub buza superioară și, în unele cazuri, sub buza inferioară, astfel încât nicotina pe care o conține poate intra în sânge prin mucoasa bucală.

Stresul, definit ca o stare în care individul afectat percepe un sentiment de amenințare sau de lipsă de control, precum și tulburările de somn și/sau calitatea slabă a acestuia, reprezintă doi factori de necontestat, aflați la baza a numeroase provocări și dificultăți întâlnite în societatea zilelor noastre.
