Summary: Concerns have arisen recently about potential deformations and fractures of titanium implants, despite their widespread use in orthopedic and dental surgeries. In a recent clinical case, a titanium implant fractured after successful osseointegration, even without significant trauma or excessive external force. Factors including design flaws, material fatigue, and biomechanical stress during functional loading contribute to such fractures. This raises concerns about the long-term durability and reliability of titanium implants, especially in high-stress areas.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the likelihood of survival and failure modes of extra-narrow implant systems with the same prosthetic components as standard-diameter implants. The results showed that using standardized prosthetic components for extra-narrow implants has a high probability of survival and a high characteristic strength, with failure modes restricted to the abutment. Therefore, this method can be a viable option for replacing anterior teeth.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis on dental implant placement surgery-induced osteoimmune wound healing and osseointegration. The results showed that prophylactic antibiotics caused bacterial dysbiosis, suppressed helper T-cell immune response, reduced the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and weakened the bone-implant interface. These findings suggest that antibiotic prophylaxis dysregulates the osteoimmune wound healing process induced by implant surgery.

Summary: This retrospective study compared the marginal bone loss around dental implants in smokers and non-smokers, with a focus on different frequencies of daily smoking. The results showed that smoking degree, bruxism, jaw location, prosthesis fixation, and implant diameter had a significant effect on bone loss over time. The degree of smoking was positively correlated with bone loss, but the difference was not significant for high degrees of smoking (>10 cigarettes/day).

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of full-coverage tooth-supported fixed prosthetic restorations, including single crowns (SCs) and fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), and to consider the influences of tooth vitality, presence and type of post, and type of prosthetic restoration material. The results showed that SCs made of metal-ceramic and all-ceramic had the highest 5-year survival rate when the abutments were vital, while all-ceramic SCs with fiber post had a high survival rate when the abutments were non-vital. For FDPs, the survival rate was higher when the abutments were vital compared to non-vital, regardless of the presence, type of post, and FDPs material.

Summary: This study compared the failure rates and prevalence of technical complications between full-coverage tooth-supported monolithic zirconia (MZ) and porcelain-veneered zirconia (PVZ) fixed dental prosthesis. The results showed that PVZ had higher occurrence of complications, particularly minor or major chipping. Different types of cementation were associated with significant differences in the prevalence of chipping for PVZ prostheses. Awareness of these outcome differences is important for clinical practice.

Summary: “This study investigates the influence of a cantilever prosthetic arm on marginal bone loss (MBL) over time around dental implants supporting short fixed partial dentures (FPDs). The results suggest that the use of a cantilever extension may negatively affect the bone marginal level over time. However, the small difference in estimated MBL between the groups over long periods of follow-up raises questions about the clinical significance of the observed negative effect.”
