Objectives: Primary implant stability is related to local bone density. After insertion of an implant, implant stability is subject to changes due to bone remodeling. In patients who have undergone radiotherapy in the head and neck region, implant stability is impaired because irradiation reduces bone vitality. The current study was designed to monitor and test implant stability immediately after implant placement and during osseointegration in irradiated and non-irradiated minipig alveolar bone. Materials and methods: All maxillary and mandibular premolars and molars of six adult Gottingen minipigs were extracted. The maxilla and mandible of three minipigs received three irradiation exposures at a total dose of 24 Gy. After irradiation, five initial implant holes were drilled in the residual alveolar ridge of each edentulous site. In order to assess bone vascularity, laser Doppler flowmetry recordings were carried out in the initial holes. A total of 120 implants were placed in the six minipigs. Subsequently, and at 8, 16, and 24 weeks after implant placement, implant stability was recorded by resonance frequency analysis (RFA). RFA values were expressed as an implant stability quotient (ISQ). Results: ISQ values recorded immediately after implant placement showed no differences between irradiated and non-irradiated minipigs. Repeated measurements at the four recording moments showed a decrease of ISQ values in all minipigs, being more pronounced in irradiated bone, when compared with non-irradiated bone. The results at the third and fourth recording moments showed a stabilization or even a slight increase of ISQ values. Conclusions: The results document the negative effect of irradiation on bone vascularity and hence on implant stability.

Summary: This study demonstrates the ability of a digital surface scanner to detect early vascular perfusion disorders through monitoring skin color changes, distinguishing between arterial occlusion and venous congestion. The scanner is shown to be an objective, non-invasive tool for this purpose.

Summary: An online survey conducted among Dutch oral and maxillofacial surgery units revealed controversy over the use and efficacy of HBO in treating ORN. The study showed a trend towards experienced units using HBOT to cure ORN, indicating a possible centralization of ORN care to these units.

Summary: The study found that placing 5-6 MDIs can significantly improve Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, preserving functional comfort for patients. Postoperative pain scores decreased significantly, but implant failures can affect Oral Health-Related Quality of Life.

Summary: Immediate implant placement during oral cancer surgery resulted in a high number of edentulous patients being rehabilitated with implant-retained dentures placed early. The implant survival rate was 90.7%, but was lower when the implant was placed in a jaw involved in the tumor.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of short dental implants versus vertical bone augmentation followed by regular dental implants in the deficient posterior mandible. The results showed comparable outcomes within the first 5 years. Patients should be informed about the risks and benefits of both options before surgery.

What is the evidence on the added value of implant-supported overdentures? A review

Thomas Van de Winkel, Laura Heijens, Stefan Listl, Gert Meijer

Summary: Based on existing economic evaluations, IODs have often been suggested as a cost-effective treatment alternative to CDs. However, comparability between different economic evaluation studies is limited due to the use of different outcome measures. Additionally, it is unclear whether the additional health benefits of IODs outweigh the higher costs, which largely depends on decision makers' valuation of oral health outcomes. Future research should focus on elucidating patient willingness to pay for IODs and the societal return on investing in IODs.

Factors Associated with Esthetic Outcomes of Flapless Immediate Placed and Loaded Implants in the Maxillary Incisor Region-Three-Year Results of a Prospective Case Series

Edith Groenendijk, Tristan Ariaan Staas, Ewald Maria Bronkhorst, Gerry Max Raghoebar, Gert Jacobus Meijer

Summary: This study evaluated the 3-year esthetic outcome of flapless immediate implant placement and provisionalization (FIIPP), and found that it may increase the risk of buccal soft-tissue recession. By installing implants in a maximal palatal position and filling the gaps with bovine bone substitute, high patient satisfaction and good soft-tissue esthetics were achieved after three years. Factors such as implant location, gap size, and emergence profiles were associated with the esthetic outcome.
