Early Healing of Immediate Implants Connected With Two Types of Healing Abutments: A Prospective Cohort Study
Conclusions:
Within the limitations of this study, for immediate implants placed into posterior sockets, customized healing abutments can facilitate closure of large sockets. Despite more pronounced incomplete defect fill, healing abutments consisting of polyether ether ketone and resin did not render an increased risk for periimplant bone loss or soft-tissue recession during the early healing period.

Immediate Postextractive Implants With and Without Bone Graft: 3-year Follow-up Results From a Multicenter Controlled Randomized Trial
Purpose:
To evaluate the outcome of single postextraction immediate implants placed with and without bone grafts in the esthetic maxillary premolar area for 3-year follow-up after loading.
Material and Methods:
After tooth extraction, 102 patients received 115 immediate dental implants. Patients were randomly allocated to immediate implant placement with (group A: 51) or without (group B: 51) anorganic bovine bone and resorbable collagen barrier.
Results:
After 3 years (T36), 1 implant failed in each group. Thirty-seven patients showed inflammation and bleeding, 19 mucositis, and 2 periimplantitis. Statistical sign...

Analysis of Forces Applied During Transalveolar Sinus Lift: A Preliminary Clinical Study
Purpose:
To introduce a novel modality that enables the measurement of forces applied during a transalveolar sinus floor elevation (tSFE) and to investigate the influence of anatomical and surgical factors on the necessitated force in sinus membrane detachment.
Material and Methods:
A new endosinus probe, innovated with a calibrated load cell, was used to test the forces needed to perforate ten maxillary sinuses in 5 human cadavers. The same probe was also used to detach the Schneiderian membrane from the bony floor of 21 human subjects undergoing tSFE.
Results:
The force needed to cause membrane perforation in the...

Comparative Evaluation of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2/Hydroxyapatite and Bovine Bone for New Bone Formation in Alveolar Ridge Preservation
Conclusions:
The alveolar ridge was preserved clinically and histologically in both groups. rhBMP-2/HA resulted in greater new bone formation than bovine bone 3 months after the surgery. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Vital Bone Formation After Grafting of Autogenous Bone and Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Bioceramic in Extraction Sockets of Rats: Histological, Histometric, and Immunohistochemical Evaluation
Conclusions:
Autogenous bone was able to stimulate bone turnover enabling a larger amount of vital bone synthesis and can be recommended as a viable grafting material in combination with synthetic biphasic BC. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Reconstruction of the Alveolar Bone Using Bone Augmentation With Selective Laser Melting Titanium Mesh Sheet: A Report of 2 Cases
Bone augmentation is used to supplement bone defects during dental implant treatment. In this technique, the area filled with bone prosthetic material is covered with an artificial space-making device or titanium mesh sheet, which must be manually adapted to the bone defect during the procedure before being fixed in place. Selective laser melting (SLM) method can be used to preadapt the titanium mesh sheet based on preoperative CT data. This method enables shorter surgery times compared with conventional titanium mesh sheet methods, as well as regeneration of an ideal alveolar bone shape. Here, we present 2 cases of bone a...

Dental Implant Therapy on a Patient With von Willebrand Disease: A Case Study
This article discusses the successful treatment for a patient with vWD undergoing implant therapy.
Case Description:
A young 21-year-old patient with vWD lost tooth #30 because of caries and required implant therapy. Through collaboration with a hematologist administering prophylactic desmopressin (DDAVP), the implant surgery was performed without any postoperative complications. The implant successfully integrated and was restored into function. The successful outcome met expectations after careful planning and execution.
Practical Implications:
Collaboration with the appropriate medical providers, as well as treatm...

Evaluation of Outcomes of Dental Implants Inserted by Flapless or Flapped Procedure: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions:
This meta-analysis revealed that flapless procedure may increase the failure risk of the dental implants, especially in the situation of immediate/early loading. Nevertheless, flapless procedure showed a superiority in preserving bone tissues. (Source: Implant Dentistry)

Effect of CAD/CAM Abutment Height and Cement Type on the Retention of Zirconia Crowns
Purpose:
To evaluate Ti-Base abutment height and cement type on the retentiveness of zirconia-based restorations.
Material and methods:
Four millimeter (tall) and 2.5-mm-height (short) abutments along with temporary (provisional), glass ionomer (Meron), self-adhesive (U200), and conventional resin cement (Ultimate) were evaluated using pull-out testing (n = 10 crowns/group).
Results:
Tall and short abutments demonstrated similar retention for all within cement comparisons, except U200 (P = 0.032). Resin cements exhibited superior retentiveness than others (P (Source: Implant Dentistry)
