My name is Nikos Mattheos and I am a periodontist, researcher and an academic teacher. I believe sharing and opening ourselves to discussion and debate is the only way to improve and progress!
The purpose of this site is simply to share some of my thoughts, ideas and work with peers and students.
Join me in a journey to teaching and learning of Implant Dentistry!
A wide mucosal emergence angle of the implant prosthesis can increase by as much as 30 times the risk for inflammation of the peri-implant tissue, as shown by a recent clinical study. It becomes therefore apparent that the prosthetic design
Artificial Intelligence starts when an algorithm becomes able to programme and re-programme itself, thus be able to perform tasks for which it was not originally programmed to do or could not be performed with it’s original code. This implies a
Half a dozen major dynamic navigation systems focused in implant dentistry are now in the market, two of which are backed by leading implant manufacturers Straumann and Nobel Biocare. All systems use in principle the same optical tracking technology, but
Have you ever thought why some people are fast to orientate with a map, while others tend to be always lost? Or, why some prefer to look at the navigation carefully once before driving, while others need to have it
In our first article 2 years ago we explored the difference between tissue level and bone level implants with regards to risk for peri-implantitis. In this article, we discuss deeper about the emergence profile in the light of new knowledge
Static and Dynamic computer assisted implant surgery appear to deliver the same level of accuracy if we study the average deviation. But this is only half the truth. By analysing frequencies instead of the mean we could see some important
