El presente trabajo de investigación reúne información sobre los factores que influyen en el fracaso de implantes dentales desde la perspectiva de residentes y docentes de la segunda especialidad de Periodoncia e Implantes de la Universidad Andina del Cusco. Para realizar esta tesis, se contó con la totalidad de los Docentes Expertos, Residentes de segundo y de primer año de la segunda especialidad de Periodoncia e Implantes de la Universidad Andina del Cusco, a quienes se les realizó una encuesta por medio de un cuestionario validado para los Residentes y una guía de entrevista a Expertos, quienes según sus expectativas indicaron cuáles son las causas más frecuentes en el fracaso de los implantes dentales Los resultados mostrados en este estudio fueron que existen múltiples factores de riesgo para el fracaso de los implantes dentales como los factores del huésped, técnicas ...

Background: Treatment with dental implants has increased rapidly worldwide, but it should be noted that cases of peri-implant diseases such as peri-implantitis have also increased. Therefore, it is key that specialists in periodontics and implants acquire comprehensive knowledge about these diseases. This knowledge will enable them to effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat peri-implantitis in their professional practice. Objective:To determine the level of knowledge about peri-implantitis among residents of the Periodontics and Implants specialty at the Professional School of Stomatology of the Andean University of Cusco, 2017. Material and Methods:The study was applicative, quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional, based on the application of a validated questionnaire to a sample made up of 50 students enrolled in the specialty of Periodontics and Implants at the Professional Sch...

Objective: To determine in vitro microleakage in lithium disilicate veneers cemented with resin cement and thermally modified resin. Materials and methods: An in vitro study was conducted using 20 maxillary premolars, on which lithium disilicate veneers were cemented. The specimens were divided into two groups of ten samples each. Each tooth was prepared on the vestibular surface for subsequent veneer fabrication. In Group 1, veneers were cemented with resin cement (Nexus-3), whereas in Group 2, thermally modified resin (Herculite Précis™) was used. Subsequently, the teeth underwent a thermocycling process and were immersed in a 2% methylene blue solution for five days, after which sagittal sections were performed for observation under an optical microscope. Results: A higher percentage of microleakage was observed in the group cemented with resin cement (47.5%; n = 19) compared to th...
