Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of aging on the changes in implant stability over time following implant placement. The results showed that the stability of implants in elderly patients is not related to age, but rather to the engagement of the implant with the bone.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of concentrated growth factor (CGF) in improving the osseointegration of dental implants. CGF was successfully permeated into the implants using a Round up device, and it was found that CGF induced osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stem cells and improved endothelial cell adhesion on the implants. Surgical interventions with CGF-permeated implants showed better results in terms of osseointegration and post-surgical complications.

Summary: The purpose of this rat study was to investigate the feasibility of temperature thresholds affecting bone contact at the surface of implants in vivo. The results showed that thermal necrosis should be used for implant removal in subsequent in vivo studies. The study found that temperatures ranging from 48°C to 50°C led to a decrease in the BIC ratio, with significant differences observed between the 50°C group and the control group. However, there were no significant variations within the cold temperatures.

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: Retention of bone debris produced by an osseo-shaping tool contributes to faster peri-implant bone formation and implant osseointegration. The experimental results demonstrate that bone debris generated by the osseo-shaping tool accelerates the formation of new bone around the implant.

Summary: This study compared the primary and secondary stability of implants placed in regenerated bone and native bone, finding that implants in regenerated bone had significantly lower stability compared to those in native bone. However, implants in regenerated bone still showed adequate primary and secondary stability for prosthetic loading. Bone quality influences the primary but not secondary stability of implants.

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 pilot study investigated the correlation between implant placement accuracy and peri-implant hard and soft tissue health. Five patients underwent computer-guided implant surgery and immediate loading. After 5 years of follow-up, the results showed mean linear deviations of 0.5 ± 0.2 mm at the implant's head and 0.6 ± 0.2 mm at the implant's apex. The study also found a negative correlation between bucco-palatal/lingual linear inaccuracy and marginal bone loss, peri-implant probing depth, bleeding on probing, and keratinized mucosa.

Summary: The correlation between thickness of peri-implant mucosa (MT) and clinical parameters in bone-level implants was investigated over a 12-month follow-up period. No significant correlation was found at 12 months, but history of periodontitis Grade C and absence of bone regeneration were predictors for deep MT. The depth of MT played a critical role in determining restorative design.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of four commonly used wound dressings on improving patient reported outcomes after FEG surgery. All test groups showed significant improvements in pain perception, analgesic consumption, and willingness for retreatment compared to the control group. There were no significant differences among the test groups. The use of a palatal stent after surgery seemed to be associated with less overall pain, decreased use of pain pills, and higher willingness for retreatment.

Summary: This study conducted a bibliometric analysis to identify the top 100 cited articles on peri-implantitis research. The findings revealed a focus on epidemiology rather than treatment strategies. The study also found no correlation between citation count and article age, indicating the continued impact of older articles. Overall, this research provides valuable insight into the characteristics and quality of peri-implantitis literature.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the impact of vertical platform discrepancies on radiographic marginal bone loss in splinted and non-splinted adjacent implants. The results suggest that vertical platform discrepancies between adjacent implants are associated with a higher incidence of bone loss.

Summary: This study describes the methods for assessing and reporting the color of peri-implant mucosa (PMC) and emphasizes its impact on the esthetic outcome of implant therapy. A total of 121 clinical studies were included, which reported on various methods of PMC assessment including qualitative and quantitative methods. The assessment allowed for the description of color discrepancies, evaluation of color changes over time, and comparison of treatment outcomes.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between peri-implant bucco-lingual dimension (BLD) and the occurrence of biological and esthetic complications. It found that in scenarios with thin buccal bone wall, major dimensional changes and bone loss are more likely to occur, leading to complications. Therefore, careful assessment of BLD is necessary before implant placement. Additionally, augmenting buccal bone wall defects can enhance tissue stability.

Summary: This study introduced the root plastique technique (RPT), aiming to modify the gingival phenotype of sites with gingival recessions (GRs) associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) prior to surgical treatment. The results showed that RPT can increase keratinized tissue thickness and width, and reduce gingival recession in most of the sites.

Summary: The two-implant-supported mandibular overdenture is a reliable treatment option for restoring masticatory function. Digital planning improves surgical precision and accuracy. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scan have simplified the digital planning workflow, but have also caused confusion. This case series demonstrates the efficacy of a bone-supported guide based on CBCT data for simultaneous implant placement and bone reduction, providing less-invasive surgery and parallel implant placement.
