Summary: This retrospective study investigated the association between the amount of initial physiological bone remodeling (IPBR) during the first year of implant placement and the incidence of peri-implantitis as well as the pattern of progressive bone loss. The results showed no significant association between IPBR and peri-implantitis, but splinted implants had a higher marginal bone loss rate compared to non-splinted implants from T1 to T2.

Summary: The study found that CBCT had superior diagnostic accuracy and reliability compared to IO imaging for the detection, classification, and measurement of peri-implant bone defects. The application of CBCT provided substantial information for peri-implant bone defect diagnosis and decision-making, not achievable with conventional IO imaging.

Summary: The restorative design factors like restoration emergence angle and maintenance visit frequency significantly influenced the early progression of peri-implantitis. 66.3% of implants exhibited marginal bone loss within 1mm of the apical end of the internal screw, indicating a common location for peri-implant bone loss.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis in mice and evaluate the efficacy of Resolvin D2 as a treatment modality. The results revealed that dental implants are susceptible to infection and associated with bone loss, but treatment with RvD2 can prevent the disease.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of short dental implants (TG) to longer implants (CG) with single crown restorations after 10 years. The results showed that the survival rates of TG and CG were 85.7% and 97.1%, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups. The study concluded that short dental implants with single-crown restorations can be considered a valuable alternative, especially when vertical bone dimensions are limited.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the adjunctive benefits of Er:YAG laser irradiation for regenerative surgical therapy of peri-implantitis-associated osseous defects. The results showed that using laser irradiation during peri-implantitis regenerative therapy may aid in better probing pocket depth reduction, particularly in narrow infrabony defects. However, a larger sample size and longer follow-up are needed to confirm if Er:YAG laser irradiation provides additional clinical benefits for peri-implantitis regenerative therapy.

Summary: In this study, it was found that interproximal implant thread exposure may be an independent risk indicator for peri-implantitis. Clinicians should closely monitor patients with implant threads that have no bone-to-implant contact for incident peri-implantitis.

Summary: Dental implants are considered a reliable routine procedure for replacing missing teeth, but the presence of peri-implantitis has become a concern due to its negative impact on patients' quality of life. The surgical therapeutic modalities for managing this disorder include indications, contraindications, complexity, predictability, and effectiveness.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5-year results of implants supporting fixed full-arch metal-ceramic restorations in patients who lost their teeth due to severe periodontal disease. The study found that the majority of implants with internal conical connection did not experience significant bone loss after 5 years. Abutment height and implant diameter were found to be associated with marginal bone level.

Summary: This study aimed to establish an objective criterion for predicting the prognosis of dental implants. By analyzing the marginal bone level, it was found that implants that lose more than 0.5mm of marginal bone within 6 months after placement may not be successful radiographically. A prosthetic abutment height >= 2mm was identified as the most important factor in maintaining peri-implant bone.

Summary: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the influence of malposition on the occurrence of peri-implantitis. The results showed that malposition was not statistically significantly associated with the occurrence of peri-implantitis. Factors significantly associated with peri-implantitis included presence/history of periodontitis and presence of a prosthetic emergence profile angle >= 45 degrees.

Summary: This study found higher gene expression levels of the transcription factors ROR gamma T and FOXP3 in tissues affected by peri-implantitis compared to healthy tissues, indicating a possible hybrid TH17-Treg profile. Further research is needed to better understand the immunological mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis.

Summary: This study describes the L-shape technique in guided bone regeneration (GBR) with simultaneous implant placement and reports on its clinical, esthetic, and patient satisfaction outcomes up to 14 years of follow-up. The results show that the L-shape augmentation procedure is a reliable technique for GBR and simultaneous implant placement in the esthetic zone, with stable clinical and esthetic results and high levels of patient satisfaction.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of abrasive slurries with different RDA values and increasing brushing forces on dentin wear. The results showed that the abrasivity of the slurry did not contribute to abrasive wear when the brushing force was kept at 1N. However, increasing the brushing force to 2N resulted in significantly higher abrasive wear, particularly with the use of a high abrasive slurry.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the wear of resin-based fissure sealants with different compositions properties under erosive, abrasive, and erosive/abrasive conditions. Results showed that sealants with higher filler content exhibited better wear resistance, while the addition of fluoride reduced the wear resistance of sealants at similar filler contents.

Summary: In addition to seizure freedom, pediatric epilepsy surgery aims to stabilize and potentially optimize cognitive development. The study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the changes in intelligence or developmental quotients (IQ/DQ) before and after surgery in children with focal lesional epilepsy. The findings suggest stabilization of intellectual and developmental functioning at long-term follow-up. Cessation of antiseizure medication after achieving seizure freedom may further optimize intellectual and developmental trajectories in affected children.

Summary: This research investigated the effect of simplified adhesive strategies on the marginal integrity in primary molars. The results showed that universal adhesives applied in selective enamel etch or self-etch mode resulted in comparable marginal integrities when restoring class-II cavities in primary molars. Shortening the adhesive application time could lead to a reduction in the marginal integrity.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of toothpaste pH on salivary flow rate and toothpaste dilution. The results showed that toothpastes with different pHs had a similar effect on salivary flow rate, and the dilution of 1 g of toothpaste during a 2-minute brushing procedure was approximately one part toothpaste to 6.5 parts saliva.
