Removal of a Fixation Screw That Was Forced Into the Postsuperior Maxillary Sinus Wall: Case Report
We have encountered a rare case in which the subject underwent maxillary sinus floor elevation at another hospital, and a screw to fix the grafted bone substitute was forced into the maxillary sinus and intruded into the bone. Various different foreign bodies have been reported as being forced into the maxillary sinus due to dental treatment, and these foreign bodies are often retained on the maxillary sinus mucous membrane. However, no reports have described a screw forced in and intruded into the peculiar position in the bone, as seen in the present case, which we report here with additional discussion.

Osseodensification in Implant Dentistry: A Critical Review of the Literature
Conclusion: Although osseodensification seems to be a very promising technique, the findings are inconclusive and should be cautiously interpreted. Well-designed animal and human studies of longer follow-up periods are required before implementing such technique in regular daily practice. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Influence of Implant Length and Associated Parameters Upon Biomechanical Forces in Finite Element Analyses: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: Unaffected of bone quality, implant diameter is found to play a key role to minimize periimplant stress concentrations. Concerning stress reduction implant length gains increasing relevance with decreasing bone density. Furthermore, splinting of short implants constitute an appropriate tool to avoid crestal overloading. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Compatibility of Nonoriginal Abutments With Implants: Evaluation of Microgap at the Implant–Abutment Interface, With Original and Nonoriginal Abutments
Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, the mean microgap at the implant–abutment interface at the platform level at the external, middle, and internal points for both original abutments and nonoriginal abutments was found to be within clinically acceptable limits.

Frequency Values and Their Relationship With the Diameter of Dental Implants. Prospective Study of 559 Implants
Conclusions: There is no relationship between increased ISQ values and increased diameters. We observed a preference regarding sex, with men having significantly greater values for 3.7- and 4.3-mm diameters. The mandible obtained the greatest ISQ values, with significant differences for diameters 3.7 and 4.3 mm. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Effect of Raloxifene Administration on Bone Response Around Implant in the Maxilla of Osteoporotic Rats
Conclusion: Raloxifene showed increased bone formation around implant. This might have clinical implications in prosthetic restoration by dental implants for patients with poor bone quality. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Efficacy of a Polyglycol Dimethacrylate–Based Adhesive in Sealing the Implant-Abutment Interface
Conclusions: This polyglycol dimethacrylate–based adhesive may be used to seal the IAI. Further studies are warranted to verify its effectiveness over longer time periods. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Accuracy of Computer-Guided Flapless Implant Surgery in Fully Edentulous Arches and in Edentulous Arches With Fresh Extraction Sockets
Conclusion: CGFI surgery in edentulous arches with fresh extraction sockets may be accurate. However, clinicians should be aware that higher apical deviation may occur in this setting. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Marginal Bone Loss Around One-Piece Implants: A 10-Year Radiological and Clinical Follow-up Evaluation
Conclusion: The results obtained in this analysis suggest that modest marginal bone loss was observed around the implants. One-piece narrow-diameter implants (Maximus 3.0; BioHorizons) can predictably restore missing maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors in cases of careful patient selection.

Maxillary Sinus and Surrounding Bone Anatomy With Cone Beam Computed Tomography After Multiple Teeth Loss: A Retrospective Multicenter Clinical Study
Conclusion: Multiple teeth loss plays a role in creating an imaginary sinus anatomy constituted of a relatively narrow space compared with single-tooth loss cases, from 3.6-mm mean coronal width to 11.3 mm in the apical portion. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Evaluation of New Bone Formation in Sinus Floor Augmentation With Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin–Soaked Collagen Plug: A Pilot Study
The objective of this study is to evaluate the new bone formation after sinus floor augmentation with collagen plugs used as carriers for injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF). Materials and Methods: Postoperative immediate and postoperative 6th month panoramic radiographies of patients treated between January 1, 2015, and February 1, 2018, with sinus floor augmentation using i-PRF–soaked collagen plugs were retrieved from the archives, and subantral bone heights of distal and mesial regions of simultaneously inserted implants were measured with a software program. Statistical analysis was performed to understand wh...
