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 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: 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 evaluates the clinical outcomes and current applications of autogenous tooth bone graft in patients. The results indicate that the use of this graft leads to increased bone volume and high implant survival rates. However, current studies have limitations such as small sample sizes, short follow-up periods, and lack of control groups.

Summary: Alveolar ridge preservation is crucial for maintaining ideal prosthetic positions, with tooth matrix as a bone substitute offering osteoconduction and osteoinduction properties without antigenic reactions. This biomaterial allows for three-dimensional bone reconstruction at a low cost.

Summary: After autogenic bone grafting, patients with oligodontia had an average horizontal bone graft increase of 4.60 mm and an average sinus lift increase of 9.95 mm. The average number of implants placed per patient was 9, with 5 of them placed on grafted sites. The overall implant survival rate was 100%, leading to significant improvements in patient quality of life through implant-supported fixed dentures.

Summary: The study evaluates the efficacy of using autogenous dentine matrix produced from the patient's own tooth for maxillary bone defect augmentation and assesses the microbiological status of the obtained material. Results show that the use of autogenous dentin matrix ensures successful alveolar bone repair and does not introduce pathogenic microorganisms to the patient.

Summary: The study assessed the impact of metal artefacts on image quality of 13 CBCT devices and evaluated the influence of scanning protocols and field of view. The results showed significant differences in image quality among CBCT devices and scanning protocols. Metal-related artefacts have a significant impact on image quality, but their expression can be reduced by proper protocol selection.

Summary: The analysis of 11 clinical studies indicated that for patients with tooth loss mainly due to periodontitis, there is low and similar cumulative implant loss within 1 year regardless of using removable or fixed full-arch implant-supported prostheses. However, fixed designs tend to have better outcomes after 5 years of functioning.

Summary: In this study, the effects of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) oleic acid (OA) and saturated fatty acid (SFA) palmitic acid (PA) on gingival inflammation and periodontal disease pathology were investigated. The results suggest that the Mediterranean-style diet, which is rich in OA, may have preventive effects beyond its anti-inflammatory properties.

Summary: This study evaluated the dimensional stability of five different resin/printer combinations (RPCs) after 3D printing and steam autoclaving. The results show that most of the surgical guides experienced minor but significant shrinkage due to both 3D printing and steam autoclaving, with variations observed between different RPCs.

Summary: The aim of this study was to introduce an objective method for evaluating the accuracy of implant position assessment in partially edentulous patients. Different techniques (conventional impression, intraoral scan, CBCT) were compared to an industrial scanner to obtain a reference 3D model. The results showed that all assessment techniques deviated from the reference industrial scan, with intraoral scans being slightly less accurate than both conventional impressions and CBCT.

Summary: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a method used to treat bone defects at peri-implantitis sites, involving the placement of bone-filler particles and the use of a barrier membrane. The effectiveness of different GBR-supported treatments and their superiority compared to non-GBR treatments remains unclear. This analysis evaluates the long-term clinical efficacy of GBR-supported surgical therapy for peri-implantitis-related bone defects.

Summary: The present study investigated the effect of different curing times on the final thickness of direct 3D-printed orthodontic aligners. The results showed that curing time did not have an impact on the thickness, and there was no direct association between curing time or nitrogen generator usage and thickness. Additionally, a local thickness increase on the front teeth was observed under specific printing and centrifugation conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the extension of experimentally induced peri-implantitis lesions under various antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications. Forty-eight albino rats were randomly assigned to different medication groups to establish peri-implantitis lesions over a period of 16 weeks. The results showed no significant effects of different medications on the extension of peri-implantitis lesions.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of antiseptic mouthwashes in reducing the SARS-CoV-2 load clinically and in vitro. The results showed that mouthwashes were effective in decreasing the viral load in saliva. However, there were certain biases in the studies and a high degree of heterogeneity in the results. Therefore, large-scale trials are still needed to determine the best rinsing protocols.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of local stresses on implant migration and bone remodelling. The results showed that the magnitude of local stresses influenced bone remodelling and it can be speculated that stress-related bone resorption favored implant migration. After initial bone loss, net bone gain representing consolidation was observed.
