Summary: This study presents a step-by-step protocol to measure the upper and lower interarch space from digital scans of complete dentures using open-access software. Clinicians can assess and digitally measure the interarch space of edentulous patients requiring implant-supported fixed prostheses using this protocol.

Summary: Rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla with implant-supported fixed dental prostheses is challenging due to limited bone availability and surgical access. This review discusses various treatment options, including standard implants with maxillary sinus floor augmentation, short implants, tilted implants, and distal cantilever extensions. It provides technical information, summarizes the reported outcomes, and offers clinical guidelines for decision-making and optimizing therapy outcomes.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate, bone loss, and complications of implants placed through sinus elevation and tilted implants in basal bone. The results showed that tilted implants had a higher survival rate and lower bone loss. However, no significant differences were found between the groups.

Summary: Autonomous robotic surgery with the use of robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (r-CAIS) technology has shown to be an accurate approach for dental implant placement in fully edentulous patients, with the control of angular deviation ensuring precision.

Summary: This study describes a fully digital workflow for generating a virtual patient for computer-aided implant surgery on completely edentulous patients. By temporarily relining existing dentures with radiopaque dental silicone material, stability is increased and cone beam computed tomography images can be superimposed with intraoral scans to create a virtual patient. This technique has the potential to reduce laboratory work steps, clinical chairside time, and treatment costs.

Summary: This study focused on the impact of full-arch implant restorations on oral health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction, finding that patients rehabilitated based on the all-on-four concept had high OHRQoL and satisfaction levels. However, the current evidence is limited by the quality of available studies, highlighting the need for long-term randomized studies to establish the true effectiveness of this surgical-prosthetic approach.

Summary: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical performance of implant-supported removable partial dentures (ISRPDs). The results showed that ISRPDs had high implant survival rates and acceptable bone loss, and they improved the quality of life and satisfaction of patients compared to conventional removable partial dentures (RPDs). Therefore, ISRPDs can be considered suitable for the rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients.

Summary: This study confirmed that angulating 12 mm implants provides a limited increase in A-P distribution of implants in edentulous rehabilitation in most situations. In certain patients, the use of 8 mm axial implants may provide a greater A-P spread.

Summary: This study reports a rare case of aggressive nasopalatine cyst with nasal involvement in an edentulous patient. The patient presented with an anterior maxillary lesion that prevented him from wearing his upper denture. The clinical and radiological examination revealed the aggressive nature of the cyst.

Summary: This study aimed to systematically identify and present the evidence base of surgical interventions in implant dentistry for the anterior maxilla. The research found that immediate implant placement was the most frequently reported surgical intervention, often accompanied by hard tissue augmentation and immediate provisionalization. The study also identified six primary operations and 33 variations, indicating the need for further research to simplify and consolidate the surgical approach.

Summary: Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have significant benefits in dentistry, including remineralizing effects on initial enamel lesions and improving existing dental materials. Further research is needed to confirm the advantages of using them in various dental interventions.

Summary: Overall, the meta-analysis did not show significant differences in implant survival rate or marginal bone loss between immediately loaded implants and conventionally loaded implants. Immediate loaded implants had a high cumulative survival rate of 95.53% and a mean marginal bone loss of 1.19 mm.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the survival rate, marginal bone levels, and full arch prosthetic success of short implants in severely resorbed and edentulous mandibles. A systematic review of three relevant studies found short-term dental implant survival rates ranging from 94.2% to 97.4% with a five-year follow-up, and prosthetic success rates around 62% during the same follow-up. The mean marginal bone level values of the affected short implants ranged from 0.2 mm to 0.6 mm. It was concluded that short dental implants positioned with precision as a full-arch fixed support are a valid therapeutic choice for medium-long-term rehabilitation of severe edentulous mandibular atrophy.
