Summary: This in vitro study evaluated the cleaning ability of four mechanical devices for decontaminating implant surfaces. The results showed that air-polishing with glycine and titanium brushes had better cleaning efficacy compared to ultrasonic devices, especially when there was no intraosseous wall. However, the cleaning effectiveness diminished in the threads located in the apical third when using air-polishing and ultrasonic devices.

Summary: Dental implants are the preferred method for replacing lost teeth. This study compared the effectiveness of electrolytic decontamination, erythritol jet system, and titanium brushes in removing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms from dental implants, and evaluated the changes in the implant surface. The results showed that electrolytic decontamination, erythritol-chlorhexidine particle jet system, and i-Brush brushing had similar performance in removing P. aeruginosa biofilm. However, titanium brushes caused significant changes to the implant surface, which need further evaluation.

Summary: Adjunctive chemical approaches for implant surface decontamination may offer an advantage over sub-marginal instrumentation alone, in terms of improved probing depth. However, the effects on other outcome variables were inconsistent or showed no differences.

Summary: This study evaluated the antimicrobial effect of a novel technique using a combination of 445 nm diode laser light with riboflavin solution on bacterial-fungal biofilm formed on dental implants. The results showed that this technique was effective in reducing the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.

Summary: This study found site-specific underestimations of available horizontal bone dimensions for implants when assessed by PAN, indicating that canines, first, and second premolars may need to be excluded when evaluating root angulations via PAN.

Summary: Both surgical and non-surgical air-polishing showed similar efficacy in surface decontamination for implant surfaces. Air-polishing was proven to be an efficient and surface protective method in this in vitro model, with no method achieving complete cleaning of the implant surface.

Summary: The study assessed the efficacy of three mechanical decontamination methods on four types of commercially available implants with different designs, showing that thread geometry influences the access and efficacy of decontamination devices. Implants with lower thread pitch and depth values appeared to have less residual staining.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the cleaning efficacy of two mechanical and two chemical protocols in the decontamination of implant surfaces. Results showed that air-polishing and rotating titanium brush were more effective in removing biofilm compared to other methods. The use of chemical agents did not provide significant overall benefit, and complete biofilm removal was not achieved with any treatment method.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the influence of different decontamination techniques on implant surface topography and hydrophilicity. The results showed that diode laser treatment had the least disruptive effect on the Ti surface characteristics, while other mechanical methods caused significant alterations in surface roughness.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the surface characteristics and evaluate the bone-implant interfaces of injection molded zirconia implants with or without surface treatment and compare them with those of conventional titanium implants. The results suggest that injection-molded zirconia implants can serve as reliable alternatives to titanium implants.

Summary: This study analyzed the efficacy of non-surgical and surgical dental implant surface decontamination methods, with or without suprastructure. The results showed that the non-surgical method was more effective when the suprastructure was removed, and air powder abrasion had the highest cleaning efficacy. This study provides guidance for the decontamination of dental implant surfaces.

Summary: This study analyzed the factors influencing the success of the initial firefighting attack and used three machine learning models to simulate the success rate in a specific region. The XGBoost model performed the best. The study also considered the impact of weather conditions on the success rate and provided valuable information for forest fire managers in improving the initial attack success rate.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the early stages of osseointegration around implants with different geometry following installation in sites using different osteotomy protocols. The results showed that the modified osteotomy protocol resulted in higher insertion torque and a correlation between insertion torque and radiographic bone loss after 6 weeks of healing. Implants in the test group had more pronounced decline in ISQ values during healing and presented with significantly higher BIC% in the mid and apical areas, indicating increased remodeling of cortical bone in undersized osteotomy sites.

Summary: The accuracy of bone-level assessments using intra-oral peri-apical (PA) radiographs, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and histology was evaluated in this study. The results showed that PA radiographs consistently overestimated bone levels compared to CBCT and histology. However, PA radiographs can still be considered a reliable technique for peri-implant bone-level evaluations.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of using conventional free gingival graft (FGG) or modified FGG (ModFGG) for treating RT1 gingival recession defects at mandibular incisors. The results showed that ModFGG had a higher root coverage rate at 1 year compared to FGG (91.8% vs. 60.7%) and significantly improved the height of keratinized tissue (4.2mm vs. 2.2mm) with less shrinkage. ModFGG also had lower post-surgical morbidity at 2 weeks and higher patient satisfaction at 12 months.
