Summary: This research investigated the optimal buccal site on the attached gingiva of the posterior maxilla for mini-implant placement in orthodontics. Measurements of bone thickness and density were taken at different height levels on the attached gingiva using CBCT and intraoral scanning. The study found that the upper level of the attached gingiva is the best site for mini-implant placement, as it likely has greater cortical bone thickness and density compared to the lower and middle levels.

Summary: This case report presents a novel approach for dental implant rehabilitation in the posterior maxilla affected by craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. The use of particulate bone substitute and successful integration of implants after 6 months resulted in restored oral function.

Summary: This article compares the healing outcomes of ridge preservation using a combination allograft at 4 months and 12 months. The results show that longer healing time leads to more vital bone formation and less graft residue.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival of tuberosity and pterygoid implants in patients with posterior maxillary atrophy. The results showed a high cumulative survival rate of 97.3% for tuberosity and pterygoid implants during a mean follow-up period of 57 months, with significant differences in design, surface characteristics, and loading between the two types of implants.

Summary: To address the problem of insufficient bone mass in the implant area, we performed vertical bone augmentation in the posterior mandibular region with the aid of a healing abutment. Data from patients with insufficient vertical bone height were collected, and the success rate of the implant surgery was 93.3%, with a mean vertical bone gain of 2.91mm. The peri-implant soft tissue parameters showed good results with no observed complications. Rating: 7/10.

Summary: This study compared marginal bone loss around dental implants in the posterior maxilla between osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic female patients. The results showed that osteoporotic patients had significantly higher mean marginal bone loss compared to non-osteoporotic patients, and there was a correlation between T-score and marginal bone loss.

Summary: Treatment with bovine milk extracellular vesicles (MEVs) improves alveolar bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) mice by reducing bone remodeling movement and increasing osteoblast and osteocyte number. MEVs treatment also decreases RANKL/OPG ratios and osteoclasts and odontoclasts activity in the maxillary bone.

Summary: This study compared the dimensional changes in alveolar ridge following ridge preservation between 4- and 12-month healing time points using CBCT. The results showed that the efficacy of ridge preservation in maintaining ridge width and height at the 12-month time point is similar to that at the 4-month time point.

Summary: Rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla with implant-supported fixed dental prostheses is challenging due to limited bone availability and surgical access. This review discusses various treatment options, including standard implants with maxillary sinus floor augmentation, short implants, tilted implants, and distal cantilever extensions. It provides technical information, summarizes the reported outcomes, and offers clinical guidelines for decision-making and optimizing therapy outcomes.

Summary: The report presents a case study of rehabilitating a maxillary arch with limited bone volume in a 67-year-old female suffering from osteopenia and taking antiresorptives. The patient received one 10-mm and two extra-short 4-mm implants, followed by the fabrication of implant-supported splinted crowns. Despite poor initial stability (ISQ: 14-51), the 5-year follow-up revealed stable bone levels.

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: 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: After 5 years of follow-up, there was no significant difference in marginal bone level changes, buccal bone thickness, clinical outcomes, esthetic ratings, and patient-reported satisfaction between immediate implant placement with bone defects >= 5 mm and delayed implant placement after ridge preservation in the esthetic zone.

Summary: Immediate flapless implantation in the anterior maxilla is feasible in 78.33% of cases, with drilling direction affecting the difficulty level. The BASE classification helps determine the challenge level of immediate implantation and compares the feasibility between lateral and central incisors.
