Summary: This study evaluated the early and late implant loss rates in a cohort of patients who received implant-supported restorative therapy in a university setting from 2001 to 2012. The results showed that the rate of early implant failure was 0.6% and late implant failure was 3.7% after an average follow-up of 8.2 years. Factors associated with late implant failure included age under 55, smoking history, and poor access to interproximal hygiene.

Summary: In recent years, implantology has made significant progress, with the development of new alloys, surfaces, and geometries. This review analyzed the clinical differences between zirconia and titanium implants and found no statistically significant differences in fixed or overdenture restorations. However, there were concerns about the rigidity and potential fracture of zirconia.

Summary: This study evaluated the response of periodontal hard tissue and soft tissue cells to microgroove-milled zirconia surfaces. The results showed that the milled microgroove texture did not affect the viability of gingival and bone cells, but it seemed to influence the cellular differentiation of osteoblasts.

Summary: Anodization enables fabrication of controlled nanotopographies on Ti implants to offer tailorable bioactivity and local therapy. In this study, extensive optimization of various nanostructures on implant-relevant micro-rough Zr curved surfaces was reported, bringing this technology closer to clinical translation. Furthermore, exploration of sonication to reveal underlying nanotubes on nano-engineered Zr surfaces may enhance the bioactivity and therapeutic potential of conventional Zr-based implants.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the association between tobacco and peri-implant diseases and investigate patient- and implant-related variables associated with peri-implant diseases. Data from 117 patients treated with implant-supported restorations were analyzed, and the study found that smoke intensity was associated with an increased risk of peri-implant diseases.

Summary: This study aimed to test the failure load and failure mode of a novel implant-crown interface for personalized zirconia CAD-CAM crowns. Results showed that the new interface exhibited similar failure loads as conventional interfaces, but with different failure modes. The study has important clinical significance, as it simplifies the digital workflow for ceramic implant reconstructions.

Summary: Single-implant overdentures (SIOs) pose a significant biomechanical challenge in terms of prosthetic retention. The Novaloc attachment system, with its use of PEEK matrices, shows potential in overcoming this challenge for SIOs. This study compared the retention force of the Novaloc attachment to the traditional Locator system, before and after cyclic insertion-removal cycles. The authors concluded that Novaloc may provide more reliable retention for SIOs due to their higher resistance to insertion-removal cycling.

Summary: The study findings suggest that for type 2 diabetic patients, immediately loaded dental implants do not show significant differences in survival rate and marginal bone loss compared to nondiabetic individuals. This indicates that as long as glycemic levels are controlled, oral hygiene is maintained, and technical steps are followed closely, diabetes may not be a risk factor for immediately loaded implants.

Summary: The study found that genetic variations in certain genes may be associated with an increased likelihood of individuals maintaining a caries-free status, particularly the TFIP11, MMP20, and ENAM genes. However, no associations were found in patients missing both mandibular first molars and second molars.

Summary: This study conducted a large-scale numerical simulation of a real-world dentistry clinic with aerosol-generating procedures, analyzing the dispersion of evaporating droplets emitted during ultrasonic dental scaling. Results indicated concerns about aerosols' long residence times and travel distances exceeding social distancing guidelines, expanding contamination beyond the immediate patient treatment areas.

Summary: Throughout 2020 and beyond, the global community has witnessed a significant increase in the spread of COVID-19. This study focuses on understanding splatter from a common dentistry technique, using optical flow tracking velocimetry to analyze droplet velocity and trajectory. High velocities of isolated droplets were observed in the splatter produced by a high-speed dental instrument, raising concerns for health safety.

Summary: Osteoimmunology plays a crucial role in the osseointegration of implants by regulating the communication between bone cells and immune cells, as well as utilizing surface topography to enhance bone accrual. This review summarizes the interactions between immune cells and titanium implant surfaces, placing them in the context of surface-mediated immunomodulation and bone regeneration. It also discusses the use of surface topography to prevent osteoclastogenesis and its effects on immune and progenitor cell function.
