Summary: This study tested the hypothesis of no difference in bone regeneration after maxillary sinus floor augmentation using different ratios of iliac or mandibular autograft and deproteinized bovine bone mineral. The results showed that the percentage of bone regeneration significantly increased with a higher ratio of autograft, regardless of the origin of the graft.

Summary: The primary aim of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of alveolar residual bone height in the posterior maxilla on the accuracy of the final implant position via free-handed and static Computer-Assisted Implant Placement (sCAIP). The secondary aim was to evaluate the influence of the maxillary sinus morphology on the accuracy of final implant position. The results showed that sCAIP demonstrated higher 3D implant position accuracy, while in the free-handed group, alveolar bone height and sinus morphology statistically affected the final implant position.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) using collagenated bovine bone mineral (CBBM) alone or particulated bovine bone mineral with a non-cross-linked collagen membrane (PBBM/NCLM) in tooth extraction sockets with buccal dehiscence in an experimental dog model. The results show that although the radiographic changes in the quality and quantity of bone were not significant between the two groups, the use of PBBM/NCLM resulted in greater horizontal dimensions and more favorable maintenance of the ridge profile.

Summary: This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) in sinus lift procedures, compared and/or in addition to Deproteinized Bovine Bone Materials (DBBM). The results suggest that PRF associated with DBBM is a valid alternative in bone regeneration, but further research is needed to explore the potential of platelet concentrates and the inductivity properties of DBBM in sinus lift techniques.

Summary: This study compared the clinical and histological performance of autogenous tooth block (ATB) and autogenous bone block (ABB) grafts in lateral alveolar ridge augmentation (LARA). It found that ATB grafts resulted in greater bone width and less graft resorption compared to ABB grafts. There was no significant difference in postoperative complications, and ATB grafts showed positive replacement resorption with alveolar bone for favorable new bone activity signs on histology and histomorphometry.

Summary: This systematic review examined the effectiveness of autogenous dentin block grafts for alveolar ridge augmentation. Dentin blocks showed similar vertical bone gain and significantly higher width gain compared to bone blocks. The resorption rates and occurrence of complications were similar between the two groups. Autogenous dentin blocks could be a possible alternative to established bone augmentation techniques, but further studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effect of different socket seal surgery (SSS) techniques on alveolar ridge preservation. Five SSS techniques were evaluated in sockets located in the esthetic zone, with free gingival graft (FGG) showing significant results in preserving alveolar ridge height in sockets without bone filling. More evidence and clinical trials are required to determine the superiority of one technique over another.

Summary: The study found that using a mixture of autogenous bone graft and deproteinized porcine bone mineral or biphasic bone graft material for maxillary sinus floor augmentation resulted in similar patient perception of recovery compared to using autogenous bone graft from the zygomatic buttress. Patients reported high treatment satisfaction and limited postoperative discomfort.

Summary: This study aims to identify and report outcome measures and assessment methods for soft tissue augmentation interventions in dental implant therapy. The results show that clinical outcome measures are the most frequently reported, with a trend towards the use of digital technologies. Patient-reported outcome measures are often under-reported but should be considered important in future research.

Summary: The article provides an evidence-based perspective on the therapeutic application of biologics in periodontal practice. It concludes that the appropriate use of biologics is generally safe and provides added benefits to conventional treatment approaches, but the therapeutic benefits and risks depend on the specific biologics used and patient-related factors.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of specific periodontal phenotypical characteristics on alveolar ridge remodelling after tooth extraction. The results showed a marked dimensional reduction of the alveolar ridge over time, with greater bone loss and volume reduction in sites exhibiting a thin facial bone phenotype. Overall, alveolar ridge remodelling is a physiological phenomenon that occurs after tooth extraction.

Summary: This study evaluated the healing outcomes in non-molar post-extraction sockets filled with deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBM-C) as a function of time. The results showed that the proportion of tissue compartments in the sockets was influenced by the healing time, and the alveolar ridge experienced dimensional reduction over time, especially in the facial aspect. The baseline buccal bone thickness was found to be a strong predictor of bone and soft tissue modeling. The study also revealed a variable degree of alveolar ridge atrophy, which was more pronounced in sites with thin facial bone.

Summary: The objective of this study was to review the impact of key peri-implant soft tissue characteristics on health and esthetics. The width of keratinized mucosa, the thickness of the mucosa, and the height of supracrestal tissue are crucial for the peri-implant soft tissue phenotype. Inadequate width of keratinized mucosa has been associated with discomfort during oral hygiene and increased risk of peri-implant diseases. Sufficient thickness of the mucosa is required to prevent esthetic issues related to prosthetic elements and to maintain long-term mucosal stability. Supracrestal tissue height is directly related to marginal bone remodeling and insufficient height may lead to unfavorable prosthetic contours and biofilm accumulation. Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences are associated with esthetic issues and are often seen in sites with deficiencies in keratinized mucosa width, mucosal thickness, and/or supracrestal tissue height.

Summary: Different types of errors and complications can occur during and after periodontal or implant-related procedures. Methodological biases and misinterpretation of evidence are often overlooked causes of these issues. Proper evaluation of the literature requires solid clinical knowledge and a systematic approach to recognize and avoid common biases and interpretive errors for the effective application of available information. This review focuses on methodological biases, interpretive errors, and the choice of relevant endpoints to accurately assess the real impact and potential consequences of therapeutic approaches.

Summary: To improve evidence-based implant dentistry and quality of care, this study aimed to develop a core outcome set and measurements for implant dentistry clinical trials. Through systematic reviews, patient focus groups, and expert discussions, 13 mandatory outcome domains were identified, including pathophysiology, implant/prosthesis lifespan, life impact, and access to care. These domains captured both the benefits and harms of therapy and will contribute to improving evidence-informed implant dentistry and quality of care.

Summary: This study examined the association between periodontal supracrestal soft tissue dimensions and other phenotypic features in non-molar maxillary teeth. The findings showed that males had thicker gingival tissue and alveolar bone, as well as taller periodontal supracrestal tissue and wider keratinized tissue. Tooth type, gingival architecture, and interproximal papilla height were also associated with periodontal phenotype. These phenotypic features varied across subjects, different apico-coronal levels, and as a function of gender and tooth type.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the long-term stability of gingival margin position, KTW, and GT in sites that underwent RC or GA, and found different treatment approaches had varying effects on these parameters. The study highlighted that greater short-term KTW was associated with more stable gingival margin, the use of autogenous soft-tissue grafts was linked to lower RD increase over time, and treatment approaches enhancing the three-dimensional gingival phenotype were associated with greater gingival margin stability.
