Resonance frequency analysis: Comparing two clinical instruments
ConclusionsRFA values between implant placement and second stage differed slightly between implant placement and second stage (P < 0.10). These differences were not clinically or statistically significant. At second stage, Penguin RFA values were slightly higher when compared with the Osstell device (P < 0.67). Bone quality appears to be an important factor when determining RFA readings. Type I bone had significantly higher readings when compared with other less dense bone types (P < .029) Resonance frequency evaluation data were similar for both instruments, indicating their reliability in determining...

Analysis of crestal bone loss around single piece ball attachment implant placed bilaterally in canine region and wear of O ‐ring in implant supported overdenture: Three year follow‐up
ConclusionsThe present study shows that the bilateral single piece implant supported overdenture has a success rate equivalent to the two piece implant supported overdenture and is a viable treatment option. (Source: Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research)

In vivo evaluation of β‐CS/n‐HA with different physical properties as a new bone graft material
ConclusionsThe composite β‐CS/HPa (30/70) as biodegradable bone substitute that not only enhance bone generation but also accelerate the formation of Haversian system. We used the composite in a powder form and examined its suitability as artificial bone graft; yet the mechanical properties have shown that 30/70 ratio of β‐CS/HPa offer suitable mechanical strength to be employed as a solid‐shaped implants.

An up to 17 ‐year follow‐up retrospective analysis of a minimally invasive, flapless approach: 18 945 implants in 7783 patients
ConclusionThe analyzed data concludes the safety and medical efficacy of the ATP‐Punch. The CSRs using this flapless technique are comparable to the classic surgical flap approach. (Source: Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research)

The effect of the heights and thicknesses of the remaining root segments on buccal bone resorption in the socket ‐shield technique: An experimental study in dogs
ConclusionsThe height of the root segments has little effect on the bone absorption of alveolar bone, while the bone absorption was strongly influenced by the thickness of the root segments. More precisely, the absorption may decrease if the thickness of the root fragment increases, when the thickness of the root plate is in the 0.5‐1.5 mm range.

Effect of length and location of edentulous area on the accuracy of prosthetic treatment plan incorporation into cone ‐beam computed tomography scans
ConclusionsAccuracy of digital image registration methods was similar and higher than that of radiographic templates in all clinical situations. Tooth‐bound radiographic templates were significantly more accurate than the free‐end templates. The results of this study suggest using image registration instead of radiographic templates when planning dental implants, particularly in free‐end situations.
