Summary: This pilot study investigated the effect of osseodensification on the increase in alveolar ridge thickness and the prevention of buccal bone defects. The results showed that osseodensification significantly increased the ridge thickness and reduced buccal bone defects.

Summary: Lateral ridge augmentation is a common surgical procedure done either before or simultaneously with implant placement. The decision to do it simultaneously or in stages depends on multiple factors. This paper proposes a decision-making process to guide the selection of the best treatment based on available evidence and the author's clinical experience.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of soft-type block bone substitute and particulate bone substitute in guided bone regeneration of peri-implant defects. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the dimension of the augmented hard tissue between the two materials after 6 months of healing.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability and maintenance of peri-implant soft and hard tissues in the maxillary anterior region after guided bone regeneration (GBR) using L-shaped collagenated bone substitute and subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG). The results showed an increase in soft tissue thickness and a decrease in hard tissue thickness after one year, with no significant difference in total tissue thickness. Volumetric changes in the peri-implant tissues increased after one year, and there was a significant difference in all compared time periods. The mean pink esthetic score was 8.07.

Summary: This systematic review found that soft tissue augmentation procedures inconsistently affected marginal bone level changes, but consistently improved secondary outcomes. The combination of soft and hard tissue augmentation showed better results in terms of marginal soft tissue recession compared to hard tissue augmentation alone. Contour augmentations with soft or hard tissue augmentation resulted in comparable marginal bone level changes.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate hard and soft tissues around implants in the posterior mandible 1 year after vertical ridge augmentation. The results showed that the GBR treatment with titanium meshes plus collagen membranes did not have significant differences in peri-implant bone level change compared to reinforced PTFE membranes. Both groups demonstrated stable hard and soft tissues after 1 year of follow-up.

Summary: Bone augmentation is a common procedure for enhancing and repairing deficient alveolar ridges, and the alveolar ridge splitting procedure is a less invasive option with low morbidity. It allows for widening of narrow ridges to facilitate implant reconstruction in sufficient bone volume. Clinical application of the alveolar ridge splitting procedure requires a learning curve, in-depth knowledge of oral anatomy, and recognition and management of complications.

Summary: The study found that L- and I-shaped DBBM-C were more beneficial in terms of horizontal augmentation stability compared to DBBM after a 5-month healing period in peri-implant dehiscence defects. Early postoperative discomfort, wound healing outcomes, and periotest values did not differ significantly between the different groups.

Summary: The study investigated the potential of low-dose rhBMP-2 combined with a composite material in repairing peri-implant critical size defects, with results showing that HAp/TCP/Col +0.2 mg/ml rhBMP-2 demonstrated strong osteogenic potential and improved implant stability.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the stability of augmented bone using different ratios of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) with hydroxyapatite/beta-tricalcium phosphate. The results showed that the 70/30 BCP ratio was significantly better in maintaining facial thickness and stability of horizontal dimensions of the augmented site compared to the 60/40 BCP ratio. BCP grafts with both ratios showed comparable outcomes for contour augmentation simultaneously with implant placement.

Summary: This study analyzed the marginal bone loss (Delta MBL) of tissue- or bone-level implants after simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) and found that Delta MBL was similar for both types of implants, indicating desirable marginal bone stability.

Summary: With the emergence of novel regeneration techniques in implant dentistry, professionals may question which technique to use in practice. This systematic review compared the Khoury and Urban techniques for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation and found both to be effective in achieving bone gain. However, due to limited literature and lack of comparative studies, further research is needed to better evaluate the results.

Summary: This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of laser technology for the exposure of palatally impacted canines and evaluate the bio-stimulation effect of the laser on the spontaneous eruption of the canine. The results show that laser treatment with CO2 or diode lasers significantly promotes tooth eruption, while treatment with a cold blade does not have a significant effect.
