The clinical value of membranes in bone augmentation procedures in oral implantology: 
A systematic review of randomised controlled trials.
CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence regarding the effects of membranes on bone augmentation procedures to support any definitive conclusions. Only 10 studies were included; they had limited sample sizes and short follow-up periods, and the majority were at a high risk of bias. However, no difference in implant failure was found, and the possible clinical value is still unknown, as long-term clinical parameters such as marginal bone loss, aesthetic results and patient satisfaction have been insufficiently studied. Conflict-of-interest and source-of-funding statement: The authors declare that they have no possible co...

Clinical evaluation of a novel dental implant system as single implants under immediate loading conditions - 4-month post-loading results from a multicentre randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: No statistically significant differences were observed between the systems' implant types, although four GENESIS implants failed versus none of the PRIMA type. Longer follow-ups 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 research project was originally funded by Keystone Italia, Dental spa (Verona, Italy), the manufacturer of the implants evaluated in this investigation. 
 
However, when Keystone Italia received the data of the present manuscript, they refused to honour the fi...

Platform switching versus regular platform implants: 3-year post-loading results from a randomised controlled trial.
Conclusions: The clinical and radiographic outcomes of implants restored according to the platform-switching concept versus implants restored with the matching implant-abutment diameters are comparable, 3 years after loading. Conflict of interest statement: This study was not supported by any company. All authors declare no conflict of interest.

Four mm-long versus longer implants in augmented bone in atrophic posterior jaws: 4-month post-loading results from a multicentre randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Four months after loading 4.0 mm-long implants achieved similar results, if not better, than longer implants in augmented jaws, but were affected by fewer complications. Short implants might be a preferable choice to bone augmentation, especially in mandibles, since the treatment is less invasive, faster, cheaper, and associated with less morbidity; however, 5- to 10-year post-loading data is necessary before making reliable recommendations. Conflict-of-interest statement: Global-D (Brignais, France) partially supported this trial and donated the implants and prosthetic components; however, data property bel...

Quantification of bone quality using different cone beam computed tomography devices: Accuracy assessment for edentulous human mandibles.
CONCLUSIONS: High resolution CBCT offers a clinical alternative to MSCT to objectively determine the bone quality prior to implant placement. However, not all tested CBCT machines have sufficient resolution to accurately depict the trabecular network or cortical bone. Conflict-of-interest statement: There is no conflict of interest to declare. FUNDING: Fellowship support came from Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) from the Belgian government, and Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) program and Science without borders from the Brazilian government.

Removal of dental implants displaced into the maxillary sinus: A case series.
CONCLUSIONS: Migration of displaced implants and mucosal changes may occur over a short period, eventually causing secondary sinusitis. We therefore favour surgical removal. Surgery should be as close as possible to displacement in order to minimise mucosal inflammation and to prevent unnecessary manipulation during surgical removal. Conflict of interest statement: None of the authors report any financial interests or potential conflict of interests.

Mandibular osteomyelitis associated with dental implants. A case series.
CONCLUSIONS: Osteomyelitis related to dental implants is a rare and serious complication. Prolonged antibiotics at high dosage together with aggressive surgical treatment is required. Increasing the awareness among dental surgeons and maintaining correct surgical principles are essential in order to reduce the risk of osteomyelitis. Conflict of interest statement: We have no conflict of interests to report. PMID: 27990510 [PubMed - in process] (Source: European Journal of Oral Implantology)

A 10-year report from a multicentre randomised controlled trial: Immediate non-occlusal versus early loading of dental implants in partially edentulous patients.
CONCLUSIONS: In well-maintained patients, complications are uncommon and healthy and stable peri-implant tissues can be maintained for 10 years around both immediate and early loaded implants. Conflict-of-interest statement: This trial was independently designed and initiated by the investigators. BIOMET 3i, the manufacturer of the implants used in this investigation, provided partial economic support at a later stage, and finally ZIMMER-BIOMET partially supported the present publication, however data belonged to the authors and by no means did the sponsor interfere with the conduct of the trial or the publication of its r...

Immediate, immediate-delayed (6  weeks) and delayed (4 months) post-extractive single implants: 4-month post-loading data from a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: No statistically significant differences for failures, complications and patient satisfaction were observed when placing single implants immediately, 6 weeks or four months after tooth extraction; nevertheless failures and complications were more frequent for immediate and immediate-delayed placed implants. Bone level changes were similar between the different procedures, but the aesthetics showed better results for immediate and immediate-delayed implants. Conflict-of-interest statement: This trial was partially funded by Nobel Biocare Services AG (code: 2010-894), the manufacturer of the implants evaluated...
