Summary: This in vitro study evaluated and compared the accuracy of zygomatic dental implant placement using a dynamic navigation system versus a conventional free-hand technique. The results showed that the free-hand technique enabled more accurate placement of zygomatic dental implants than the computer-assisted surgical technique. Additionally, placement in the anterior region was more accurate than in the posterior region.

Summary: The meta-analysis of ten studies showed that dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery achieves clinically acceptable accuracy. There were no significant differences found between different jaw types, guidance methods, and systems. However, more patient-centered outcomes and socio-economic benefits should be reported for further evaluation.

Summary: The study proposed a novel, radiation-free method for postoperative three-dimensional position analysis of dental implants based on the dynamic navigation system (DNS) and evaluated its accuracy in vitro. The results showed that this non-radiographic method provides facile, efficient, and reliable postoperative implant position evaluation and may be a potential substitute for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), particularly for implants placed under the guidance of dynamic navigation.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyze the accuracy of implant placement using computer-assisted dynamic navigation procedures. The results showed that the clinical accuracy of dynamic navigation is comparable to static navigation, but there is great heterogeneity in dynamic navigation systems, indicating a need for further research to validate their feasibility.

Summary: Prosthetic rehabilitation through dental implants can be improved using implant planning software and digitally designed surgical guides. This systematic review evaluates the success rates, bone remodeling, and possible complications related to guided implant surgery. The results show high implant survival rates, but early failures are common due to lack of osseointegration, and various factors influence implant survival.

Summary: This study evaluated the accuracy of dental implant placement using a dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery (dCAIS) system and a freehand approach, and compared the patients' perception and quality of life with the two approaches. The results showed that the dCAIS system significantly improved implant placement accuracy compared to the freehand approach, but it also increased the surgical time and did not improve patient satisfaction or reduce postoperative pain.

Summary: Dental implants made of titanium are commonly used for tooth replacement due to their resistance to corrosion, lack of allergic reactions, and mechanical strength. However, the rough surface of titanium implants may promote bacterial biofilm deposition, leading to peri-implantitis and implant failure. Research shows that glycine and tagatose air-polishing powders have potential in vitro cleaning properties and do not have negative effects on human dental pulp stem cells, suggesting they may enhance the biocompatibility of titanium implants. The findings support tagatose as a suitable alternative to the gold standard glycine for air-polishing prophylaxis treatment to reduce microbial contamination.

Summary: This review study provides detailed observations and statistical data on the clinical application of different lengths of implants in posterior atrophic jaws. The results show that short implants have similar or even better outcomes in terms of implant survival rate and marginal bone loss compared to standard implants. There are also fewer surgical complications associated with short implants. However, some prosthetic problems need to be further optimized.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of three different bone substitute biomaterials (BSBs) on human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). The results showed that the BSBs did not alter cell proliferation, stemness markers expression, or induce any inflammatory responses. Furthermore, the formulation of the BSBs also influenced the biological properties of the stem cells.

Summary: The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of manual expertise on static computer-aided implantology. The study found that manual expertise can improve the accuracy and shorten the operative timings of the surgical procedure. Support from digital surgical guides does not eliminate the importance of manual expertise and requires a learning pathway over time.

Summary: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we examined the relationship between fluoride exposure and skeletal fluorosis (SF) using a novel statistical methodology. Our analysis indicates a significant association between fluoride exposure and SF occurrence, with higher levels of fluoride increasing the risk of developing moderate-severe forms of the disease.

Summary: A 56-year-old female patient with vertical atrophy of the right posterior mandible was successfully treated using an interpositional bone block approach with the aid of dynamic computer-assisted surgery, reducing the risks of inlay technique and demonstrating potential benefits of using dynamic navigation technologies in posterior atrophic mandibles. The study also reports a likely safer method for osteotomies in the posterior atrophic mandible with the sandwich technique.
