Summary: This retrospective study compared the outcomes of immediate and delayed implants in patients with tooth agenesis. The results showed no significant difference in radiographic bone level changes between the two treatment groups. Patients reported less pain and preferred immediate implants. Clinician satisfaction levels were similar. This pilot study supports the use of immediate implant placement in cases of tooth agenesis.

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: Successful implantation in augmented areas requires adequate bone density and quality, as well as thorough planning. This study evaluated the healing process after implant surgery (dental implants) using dynamic surgical navigation following bone augmentation. The results showed faster healing in patients treated with the flapless technique and Navident dynamic navigation, along with lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Summary: The study compared free-hand implant planning and placement with computer-assisted implant planning and placement (CAIPP) in achieving the planned implant position. The results showed that CAIPP protocols resulted in smaller deviations regardless of tooth gap size, while in the free-hand group, gap size only influenced angular errors.

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 retrospective study aimed to evaluate the mid-term outcome of using standard implants with 20 to 24 mm length in immediate function for prosthetic rehabilitation of complete edentulous jaws with low bone density. The results showed that long implants (>= 20 mm) provided successful treatment outcomes with improved prosthetic function for patients with low bone density and complete edentulism.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the accuracy of automatic robotic implant site preparation and compare it with human freehand drilling. The results showed that the robotic system provided the greatest accuracy and reliability for small implant sizes, and the accuracy of robotic drilling for anterior implant surgery was also comparable to that of human drilling.

Summary: CAD/CAM technology enhances the application of ceramic materials in dentistry, particularly with the use of yttria-stabilized zirconia for implant-borne prosthesis rehabilitation. The monolithic CAD/CAM manufacturing process allows for reliable and rapid workflow, leading to successful outcomes in functionally and aesthetically complex cases. These advancements in technology have demonstrated favorable outcomes in clinical cases, as highlighted in the reported case study.

Summary: This study describes a novel 3D method for estimating the emergence profile and restorative angles of single implant-supported crowns, including the buccal sites. The crowns were scanned using an intraoral scanner and analyzed using 3D software. The results show that this 3D analysis method is reliable and applicable in daily practice.

Summary: Additive manufacturing technologies are used to create customized objects in complex shapes based on computer-aided design models. In oral implantology, these technologies have been applied to implant surgery, custom titanium meshes, dental implants, and other dental products. Stereolithography, digital light processing, fused deposition modeling, and other techniques are commonly used for different purposes.

Summary: It is poorly understood how much additional dental care patients consume subsequent to implant therapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate costs associated with implant-supported restorative therapy during long-term follow-up. The study found that costs related to implant-supported restorative therapy during follow-up were primarily from preventive measures, with patients receiving full-jaw restorations requiring higher costs for complication-related procedures, and implant loss resulting in the highest costs among complications.

Summary: In this in vitro study, different mechanical decontamination techniques were used on biofilm-contaminated titanium surfaces to evaluate surface cleanness and cytocompatibility. The results showed that shot-blasted surfaces had higher residual bacterial counts with certain cleaning techniques, and differed in decontamination effectiveness and cytocompatibility compared to non-modified surfaces. The use of cleaning devices on shot-blasted surfaces may have some impact on cytocompatibility.

Summary: The efficacy of implant-supported compared to tooth-supported full-arch prostheses was evaluated in patients with stage IV periodontitis. Observational studies showed that the 10-year estimates of tooth loss were lower than for implants, while the estimated loss of tooth- and implant-supported restorations at 10 years was similar. Additionally, technical complications were more prevalent in implant-supported compared to tooth-supported restorations.

Summary: This study evaluated outcome measures, assessment methods, and analysis in clinical studies on the prevention and management of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. The results showed that probing pocket depth (PPD) and bleeding/suppuration on probing (BOP) were commonly reported measures, while composite outcomes, adverse events, and patient-reported outcomes were less frequently described.

Summary: This registry-based retrospective cohort study found that furcation status has a significant impact on the risk for molar loss. Molars with furcation involvement of degree 2 and 3 have higher risk compared to those without furcation involvement. Additionally, endodontic status and probing depth are also relevant risk factors for molar loss.

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.

Summary: To improve evidence-based implant dentistry and quality of care, this study aimed to develop a core outcome set and measurements for implant dentistry clinical trials. Through systematic reviews, patient focus groups, and expert discussions, 13 mandatory outcome domains were identified, including pathophysiology, implant/prosthesis lifespan, life impact, and access to care. These domains captured both the benefits and harms of therapy and will contribute to improving evidence-informed implant dentistry and quality of care.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of air-polishing (AP) and a combination of AP and alkaline electrolysed water (AEW) in surface decontamination of peri-implantitis-affected implants. The results showed that both treatment protocols were effective in biofilm removal, with only small proportions of residual bacteria or mineralized deposits observed. Furthermore, factors such as implant thread, implant zone, implant surface characteristics, and gender influenced the results.

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.
