post-loading from a multicenter pragmatic randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: All loading strategies were highly successful and no differences could be observed for implant survival and complications when loading implants immediately, early or conventionally. Conflict-of-interest statement: This trial was partially funded by MegaGen, the manufacturer of the implants evaluated in this investigation, however data belonged to the authors and by no means did the manufacturer interfere with the conduct of the trial or the publication of its results.

Single post-extractive ultra-wide 7 mm-diameter implants versus implants placed in molar healed sites after socket preservation for molar replacement: 6-month post-loading results from a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Single post-extractive ultra-wide 7 mm-diameter implants, in combination with socket preservation, might be a possible strategy in the replacement of hopeless molars in both jaws, with high implant and prosthetic survival and success rates, and good aesthetic outcomes. Longer follow-ups are needed to properly evaluate this therapeutic option. Conflict-of-interest statement: Dr Marco Tallarico is Research and Scientific Project Manager of Osstem AIC Italy. However, this study was not supported by any company and all authors declare no conflicts of interest.

Implants inserted with graftless osteotome sinus floor elevation - A 5-year post-loading retrospective study.
CONCLUSIONS: Implants after graftless osteotome sinus floor elevation showed excellent survival and success rates after 5 years of loading. Apical gain of newly formed bone was positively correlated with the initial bone height showing a statistical significance. However, initial residual bone height is also a predictor for implant survival, i.e. survival increases by 1.6 times with every additional millimetre of initial residual bone height. Conflict-of-interest statement: All authors declare that they have neither financial nor non-financial competing interests.

Effectiveness of subperiosteal bone anchor (Onplant) placement in the anterior highly atrophic maxilla for cross-arch prosthetic rehabilitation: Results from a pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: The anterior part of the adult hard palate apparently did not present adequate bone regenerative capacity to support Onplant-prosthetic rehabilitation. Off-label Onplant-supported prostheses are contraindicated for permanent maxillary rehabilitation in edentulous adult patients. Conflict-of-interest statement: The original manufacturer provided the materials free of charge in this investigator-sponsored research (code: 2011-1027). The authors declare no conflicts of interest in relation to this study.

Artefacts of implant-supported single crowns - Impact of material composition on artefact volume on dental MRI.
CONCLUSIONS: Material composition of dental implants provided with single crowns has a profound impact on artefact volume. In comparison with crowns containing cobalt, chromium and tungsten, the MRI artefacts are reduced in precious alloy- and zirconia-based crowns. Further studies are needed to assess whether residual artefacts allow sufficient diagnostic imaging with these crowns. Conflict-of-interest statement: The authors have nothing to disclose.

Treatment options for congenitally missing lateral incisors.
CONCLUSIONS: Definitive conclusions cannot be drawn, since randomised controlled trials and more prospective and retrospective studies directly comparing the two therapeutic options are required. According to this systematic review, both therapeutic options are effective. However, it seems that the orthodontic space closure, whenever this is possible, is advantageous over the prosthodontic rehabilitation.

Outcome of bonded vs all-ceramic and metal- ceramic fixed prostheses for single tooth replacement.
CONCLUSIONS: Several variables affect treatment planning for a given patient situation, with survival and success rates of different restorative options representing only one factor. The broad variety of designs and materials available for conventional tooth-supported restorations should still be considered as a viable treatment option for single tooth replacement.

Patient information on treatment alternatives for missing single teeth - Systematic review.
CONCLUSION: Clinicians play an important role in improving awareness and knowledge of patients about treatment alternatives. Non-uniform study designs could lead to variations in results. This systematic review can be considered in further studies, in order to standardise methods using key parameters and a representative study population.

Single implant and crown versus fixed partial denture: A cost-benefit, patient-centred analysis.
Abstract
Single implants and their crowns have high survival rates that exceed the survival rates for fixed partial dentures on teeth and most but not all publications have determined single implants are more cost-effective than 3-unit fixed partial dentures. Both initial root canal treatment and retreatment are more cost-effective than tooth extraction and rehabilitation with a single implant and crown.

Preoperative radiological evaluation of missing single teeth: A review.
CONCLUSIONS: It is tentatively suggested that cross-sectional imaging may not be required in straightforward, unchallenging, cases of missing single teeth being considered for implant treatment. Beyond this, no strong evidence exists to inform the choice of imaging. Existing guidelines on preoperative imaging for missing single teeth are not unanimous in their recommendations, either for implant or non-implant treatments.

The impact of immediately placed and restored single-tooth implants on hard and soft tissues in the anterior maxilla.
CONCLUSION: The systematic review revealed promising results for immediately placed and immediately restored implants (IIPR) in the anterior maxilla. The possible options of flapless surgery and absence of grafting of the socket allows a minimal surgical intervention. However, a strict patient selection seemed mandatory for all included clinical trials.

Timing of single implant placement and long-term observation of marginal bone levels.
CONCLUSION: The current literature indicates that immediate or early placement of single-tooth implants after tooth extraction may be a viable treatment with long-term survival rates and marginal bone level conditions matching those for implants placed conventionally in healed bone ridges.
