Summary: The study compared the survival rate of 6 mm short dental implants with regular length implants when used in combination with bone grafting and loaded with a single crown after seven years. Short implants showed a significantly lower survival rate compared to regular implants (87% vs. 100%), but both groups achieved good clinical results in remaining implants. The research suggests considering short implants as an alternative to regular implants with sinus lift surgery.

Summary: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the factors associated with patient satisfaction in patients with a dental implant-supported single crown or fixed prosthesis. The results showed that most patients had high satisfaction levels in terms of functionality, aesthetics, cleanliness, and overall satisfaction, but lower satisfaction levels in terms of cleanliness and treatment cost. Factors such as implant failure, mechanical complications, and sinus augmentation negatively affected patient satisfaction, while factors such as posterior implant placement, higher income, and restoration by specialists positively affected patient satisfaction.

Summary: Extra-short 4mm dental implants show satisfactory outcomes in terms of implant survival rate and marginal bone loss when compared to longer implants, with fewer biological and prosthetic complications. Further randomized clinical trials with longer follow-up periods are needed for future research.

Summary: The study aims to determine the impact of intravenous sedation on the stabilization of patients' hemodynamics during periodontal and oral surgical procedures, as well as evaluating patient-reported outcome measures. The results showed that intravenous sedation seems to contribute to the stabilization of patients' hemodynamics, particularly systolic blood pressure, and improves patient satisfaction.

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.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess patient satisfaction and crestal bone changes with one-piece and two-piece single implant-retained mandibular overdentures (SIMOs). The results showed that there was a significant difference in patient satisfaction scores between one-piece and two-piece SIMOs at the 1-year follow-up. The patient satisfaction level increased in both groups from baseline to 1 month and 1 year. Crestal bone loss was greater in the two-piece SIMOs group, but the difference was not statistically significant. In conclusion, one-piece SIMOs seemed to be a viable treatment option with increased patient satisfaction and less invasive procedures.

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 found that both quercetin (QE) and bergapten (BP) have significant effects on promoting osteogenic differentiation of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells, resisting multiple pathogens, and reducing inflammatory activity. RNA sequencing analysis identified enriched gene ontology terms and differentially expressed genes that may play essential roles in regulating the above tri-effects, providing a basis for the use of drug delivery systems as a novel therapeutic strategy for integrating peri-implant health.

Summary: The study demonstrates that prophylactic administration of melatonin reduces the incidence of peri-implantitis by decreasing proinflammatory cytokine levels, inhibiting osteoclastogenesis, and promoting osteogenesis. Melatonin may prevent peri-implantitis by inhibiting TLR4/NF-kappa B signaling, presenting a novel strategy for prevention in dental implantology.

Summary: The study compared clinical, radiographic, and immunological outcomes of angulated screw-retained and cemented single-implant crowns in the esthetic region. Both treatment options showed acceptable short-term clinical outcomes, with angulated screw-retained crowns potentially benefiting peri-implant soft tissue. Long-term follow-up studies are needed to determine if the higher TNF-alpha concentration will affect long-term treatment outcomes.

Summary: The distribution analysis of p-values in Randomized Controlled Trials can provide evidence of unintentional errors, non-random sampling, or data fabrication. Unusual distributions were found in a small percentage of trials, more so in non-registered trials and those supported by non-industry funding. While data fabrication was not detected, there was evidence of potential non-random sampling in trials with suitable baseline data reporting. Continued efforts are needed to maintain integrity and trust in the evidence base of the field.

Summary: The study evaluated the accuracy of full-arch digital implant impressions taken with intraoral scanners and found that accuracy varies greatly with factors like interimplant distance, scan body type, intraoral scanner type, and operator experience. In clinical applications, deviations exceeding acceptable levels are still present, indicating a need for further investigation into the effects of scanning strategy and modification techniques.
