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 systematic review assessed the risk of postoperative bleeding in oral surgery for implant placement in individuals taking antithrombotics. The meta-analysis showed that the risk of bleeding during implant placement in antithrombotic-treated patients is not substantially higher compared to non-treated patients, with a low absolute risk. Therefore, there is no need to discontinue or alter the dose of antithrombotic treatment for implant placement surgery.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review is to summarize current knowledge on the use of biomarkers extracted from peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) as predictors of peri-implant bone loss (BL). A total of 158 entries were initially found, and after a full-text review and assessment of eligibility criteria, nine articles were selected. According to the review, several inflammatory biomarkers harvested from PICF seem to be correlated with peri-implant bone loss and may aid in diagnosing peri-implantitis early. MiRNA expression has shown predictive potential for peri-implant bone loss and may be useful for preventive and therapeutic purposes in implant dentistry.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of mucoperiosteal flap elevation for single immediate implant placement on buccal hard and soft tissue changes, as well as clinical, aesthetic, and patient-reported outcomes. Five randomized controlled trials were selected, and the results showed that flapless surgery resulted in better preservation of buccal bone and had significant advantages in terms of vertical buccal bone change and pain. However, the reporting of clinical and aesthetic parameters was insufficient, and the clinical relevance of these findings remains unclear.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to compare the clinical outcomes of titanium and zirconia implant abutments. The results showed that titanium abutments have better mechanical resistance and slightly higher plaque accumulation but without significant inflammatory process. Furthermore, the esthetic outcomes were found to be more related to the thickness of the soft tissues rather than the abutment material.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the mechanical characteristics and clinical usefulness of beta-tricalcium phosphate (b-TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) bioblocks in edentulous jaws. The results showed that the conical shapes were significantly stronger than cylindrical shapes. Histologic analysis indicated that a majority of the samples were completely resorbed or showed significant resorption. In conclusion, the 80% b-TCP and 20% HA grafts produced by robocasting are suitable for regenerating self-contained defects.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep bruxism (SB) and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) at a pathophysiological level, along with the associated risk factors, common signs, and symptoms. A systematic search was conducted using various databases and specific keywords, resulting in the inclusion of nine articles. The literature suggests that SB and SAHS coexist in 21.0% to 41.3% of cases, and they share common signs and symptoms. Additionally, they have overlapping risk factors such as advanced age, obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Dentists should be aware of this relationship for early diagnosis as part of a multidisciplinary approach.

Summary: This study evaluated marginal bone loss and complication rates of mandibular overdentures retained on two implants with conventional and immediate loading protocols. The results showed that there was no significant difference in marginal bone loss between immediately loaded and conventionally loaded implants placed for the retention of mandibular overdentures at one year. However, the failure rate was slightly higher in the conventional loading group.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the buccal volume change after using a customized healing abutment with or without connective tissue grafts (CTG) in flapless maxillary immediate implant placement (IIP). Two groups were formed, both receiving a customized healing abutment, and the test group additionally received a CTG. After 1 year of treatment, no significant differences were found between groups, but in participants with a buccal bone thickness (BT) ≤ 1 mm, the control group showed a greater buccal volume variation compared to the test group. The placement of a CTG did not completely maintain the initial peri-implant tissue architecture, but less dimensional changes were observed in thin-bone phenotypes when a CTG was used.
