Cross-sectional study on the prevalence and risk indicators of peri-implant diseases.
CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this study, the history of periodontal disease was the most significant risk indicator for peri-implantitis and the level of oral hygiene was significantly associated with peri-implant mucositis.

Autologous platelet concentrate for post-extraction socket healing: A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the results of the meta-analysis of the present review are suggestive for a positive effect of platelet concentrates on bone formation in post-extraction sockets, due to the limited amount and quality of the available evidence, they need to be cautiously interpreted. A standardisation of the experimental design is necessary for a better understanding of the true effects of the use of platelet concentrates for enhancing post-extraction socket healing. Conflict of interest statement: The authors declare they have no conflicts of interest. PMID: 25422822 [PubMed - in process] (Source: European Jo...

The effectiveness of surgical management of oroantral communications: A systematic review of the literature.
CONCLUSIONS: There are no RCTs evaluating whether an oroantral communication should be closed or not. There is weak evidence from two RCTs showing good results with five different techniques for closure of OACs (resorbable root analogues, haemostatic gauze, Rehrmann's buccal flap, buccal fat pad flap, sandwich graft with hydroxyapatite crystals). Until sufficiently high quality RCTs are conducted, elevating or not a flap for closure of OACs will be left to the personal choice of the surgeon. Conflict of interest notification: The authors declare no competing financial interest. PMID: 25422823 [PubMed - in process] ...

Short implants versus longer implants in vertically augmented posterior mandibles: A randomised controlled trial with 5-year after loading follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: When residual bone height over the mandibular canal is between 7 to 8 mm, 6.6 mm short implants could be an interesting alternative to vertical augmentation in posterior atrophic mandibles since the treatment is faster, cheaper and associated with less morbidity. Longer follow-ups may still be needed to confirm these results, however the medium-term prognosis (5 years after loading) of short implants is at least as good as those of longer implants placed vertically in augmented mandibles. Conflict of interest statement: Biomet 3i, manufacturer of the implants used in this investigation, partially supported thi...

Six-mm versus 10-mm long implants in the rehabilitation of posterior edentulous jaws: A 5-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Implant and prosthetic survival and success rates were similar between prostheses supported by 6-mm or 10-mm long implants. Conflict-of-interests statement: The present study was supported by grant 369_2004 from ITI, Basel, Switzerland used to provide free implants and prosthetic components to the patient. Authors declare no conflict of interest. PMID: 25422825 [PubMed - in process] (Source: European Journal of Oral Implantology)

Three-year results from a randomised controlled trial comparing prostheses supported by 5-mm long implants or by longer implants in augmented bone in posterior atrophic edentulous jaws.
CONCLUSIONS: Three years after loading, 5-mm short implants achieved similar results as longer implants in augmented bone. Short implants might be a preferable choice to vertical bone augmentation, especially in mandibles, since the treatment is faster and cheaper, however there are still insufficient data on the long-term prognosis of short implants. CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST STATEMENT: MegaGen Implant, Gyeongbuk, South Korea partially supported this trial and donated the implants and prosthetic components, however data properties belonged to the authors and by no means did MegaGen Implant interfere with the conduct of...

A comparison of two dental implant systems in partially edentulous patients: 1-year post-loading results from a pragmatic multicentre randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: No statistically significant differences were observed between the two implant types, although three Kentron implants failed versus none of the Way Milano type. Longer follow-up of wider patient populations are needed to better understand whether there is an effective advantage with one of the two implant designs. Conflict of interest statement: This trial was partially funded by Geass (Pozzuolo del Friuli, UD, Italy), the manufacturer of the implants evaluated in this investigation. However, the data belonged to the authors and by no means did the manufacturer interfere with the conduct of the trial or the pu...

Computer-guided versus free-hand placement of immediately loaded dental implants: 1-year post-loading results of a multicentre randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: When treatment planning was made on 3D CBTC scan using a dedicated software, no statistically significant differences were observed between computer-guided and a free-hand rehabilitations, with the exception of more postoperative pain and swelling at sites treated freehand because more frequently flaps were elevated. Conflict of interest statement: This trial was completely self-funded and there are no conflicts of interests. PMID: 25237668 [PubMed - in process] (Source: European Journal of Oral Implantology)

Single crowns in the resorbed posterior maxilla supported by either 6-mm implants or by 11-mm implants combined with sinus floor elevation surgery: A 1-year randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: 6-mm implants and 11-mm implants combined with sinus floor elevation surgery are equally successful to support a single crown in the resorbed posterior maxilla after 1-year follow-up. Conflict of interest and sources of funding statement: This two-centre study has been partially sponsored by Dentsply Implants. None of the authors have economical interest in the product related in this study or in the company. PMID: 25237669 [PubMed - in process] (Source: European Journal of Oral Implantology)

Five-year outcome of a retrospective cohort study on the rehabilitation of completely edentulous atrophic maxillae with immediately loaded zygomatic implants placed extra-maxillary.
CONCLUSIONS: The long term outcome (5 years) of rehabilitations performed on patients with completely edentulous, severely atrophic maxillae supported by immediately loaded zygomatic implants alone, or in combination with conventional implants, is satisfactory. Conflict of interest statement: Professor Maló is currently a consultant for Nobel Biocare. This study was not supported by any grant.
