Peri ‐implant conditions and levels of advanced glycation end products among patients with different glycemic control
ConclusionsClinical and radiographic peri‐implant parameters were poor and levels of AGEs were significantly high in patients with high glycemic levels. These findings suggest that AGEs may be considered as potential marker of inflammation in diabetic individuals with peri‐implantitis. (Source: Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research)

Radiographic analysis of dental implant extensions using bone grafts on dogs
ConclusionBone formation occurred in every installed dental implant. In most cases, there occurred bone neoformation of the extensions and adaptation of the extension/implant set, according to the x‐ray analysis performed by the evaluators. An absence of clinical mobility in the extensions was also observed. Although the results were promising, these techniques still need to be researched in humans, as an alternative for reducing elongated prosthetic crowns or poorly installed implants, as well as the modification of the type of implants among other applications.

Evaluation of bone stimulation by different designs of microthreaded implants in enhancing osseointegration: An in vivo animal study supported by a numerical analysis
ConclusionsV‐shaped microthreaded dental implant design can be preferred over Power‐shaped microthreaded dental implant for proper stress distribution and for promoting osseointegration. (Source: Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research)

Osseointegration and foreign body reaction: Titanium implants activate the immune system and suppress bone resorption during the first 4 weeks after implantation
ConclusionsThe presence of a titanium implant during bone healing activates the immune system and displays type 2 inflammation, which is likely to guide the host‐biomaterial relationship. At the same time, bone resorption is suppressed around titanium sites compared to sham sites after 4 weeks of implantation, suggesting a shift to a more pronounced bone forming environment. This suggests two important steps in osseointegration: identification of the titanium foreign body by the immune system and the development of a bone forming environment, that at tissue level translates into bone build‐up on the titanium surface an...

Relationship of implant stability and bone density derived from computerized tomography images
ConclusionsBone density and cortex thickness have a significant influence on implant primary stability. Longer and wider implants reached higher primary stability than shorter and narrower implants. These correlations lose their significance after osseointegration has taken place. Implant stability can be predicted based on an preoperative analysis of bone characteristics.

Identifying a combined biomarker for bisphosphonate ‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw
ConclusionIdentifying combined gene expression profiles is expected to contribute to more personalized management of BRONJ and to improve existing therapies, and it will be helpful in finding new therapies by identifying more predictive biomarkers.

Clinical and radiographic peri ‐implant parameters and proinflammatory cytokine levels among cigarette smokers, smokeless tobacco users, and nontobacco users
ConclusionClinical and radiographic peri‐implant parameters were compromised among CS and STU as compared to NTU. Increased expression of local proinflammatory cytokines may explain greater susceptibility of CS and STU to peri‐implant breakdown. (Source: Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research)

A prospective, multi ‐center study assessing early loading with short implants in posterior regions. A 3‐year post‐loading follow‐up study
ConclusionThree‐year data indicates that the use of splinted 6 mm‐short implants is a viable treatment in posterior regions with low marginal bone resorption. Early loading after 6 weeks should be taken cautiously in patients with known risk factors. (Source: Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research)

Surface characterization of titanium implant healing abutments before and after placement
ConclusionsHealing abutments were stable in the oral environment due to the chemical stability of the oxide, and were likely subjected to abrasions from unintentional loading and oral hygiene techniques. (Source: Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research)

Relationship between implant stability measurements obtained by insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis: A systematic review
ConclusionIT and RFA are independent and incomparable methods of measuring primary stability. Is important for clinicians to define only one method of evaluation for each implant. (Source: Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research)
