The absence of the maxillary lateral incisors creates a functional and esthetic problem that can be managed with different treatment modalities.

Bone resorption of maxillary ridges is an unavoidable process that occurs after tooth extraction. Many treatment alternatives have been proposed to facilitate implant placement in these scenarios.Drawbacks such as morbidity, cost and excessive resorption owing to the procedure have prompted clinicians to seek biomaterials as an alternative to autogenous bone. The objective of this article was to review the current state of the art by means of the biological and physical properties of biomaterials used for block grafting in atrophic maxillary ridges. Secondly, it was aimed herein at presenting the clinical and histological findings when using these biomaterials.

The objective of the retrospective analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of periimplantitis treatment up to a five-year observation period.

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 5

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of machined or moderately rough surfaces on osseointegration of implants.

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 5

Several factors are involved in the achievement of implant primary stability, such as the insertion torque, the implant’s macrogeometry, the surgical technique, and the bone quality and quantity. Implant primary stability is considered one of the key factors for osseointegration and is associated with insertion torque.

Different surgical treatment strategies for periimplantitis using graft material and membranes have been suggested. However, in these, the microbiological aspects of the periimplant environment were underestimated. The present preliminary study was aimed at analyzing a new clinical approach based on disinfection of the implant connection and of the implant surface, as well as the use of only a self-stabilizing graft material in the treatment of circumferential and semicircumferential bony defects resulting from periimplantitis.

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 5

The aim of this comprehensive systematic review was to present the different definitions of periimplantitis proposed in the literature.

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 5

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) implant surfaces treated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) microparticles on the implants’ stability and resistance to reverse torque.

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 5

The aim of the present pilot case series study was to present a new technique for managing the periimplant soft tissue before implant placement, the soft-tissue template technique.

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 5

This retrospective analysis evaluated the outcome of bone regeneration using membranes in an open-healing approach.

Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation, Vol. 5

The objective of this review was to evaluate the scientific evidence on accuracy, as well as esthetic and clinical outcomes of single-tooth implants placed using computer-assisted, template-based surgery.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reproducibility of measurements of salivary viscosity using an electromagnetically spinning (EMS) viscometer.

Transitioning from failing dentition to complete-arch implant rehabilitation may involve temporarily rendering the patient edentulous. In order to avoid the use of a removable prosthesis, immediate implant placement and immediate loading with a fixed provisional prosthesis have been proposed.

The aims of the study were to assess the accuracy of dental computed tomography (CT) scans and to compare the discrepancies obtained when either the occlusal plane or the basal plane was used as the axial reference plane.

Growth factors have shown the potential to promote odontoblast-like cell di erentiation and induce the formation of reparative dentin. The aims of this pilot study were to develop a regenerative approach to pulp capping using platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB and to describe histologically the pulp tissue response.

One of the most di icult challenges for implant-supported prosthetic restorations is the management and maintenance of periimplant soft- tissue esthetics, especially in the anterior region. In order to do this e ectively, there are diverse techniques for tissue management, the most significant being fixed provisionalization, which can be immediate or delayed.

This prospective case series study reports on a novel comprehensive method using digitized model casts and a superimposition technique to allow an objective evaluation of the hard- and soft-tissue parameters.

Pretreatment of dental implants by argon plasma has been suggested to increase their surface energy and enhance integration of both hard and soft periimplant tissue. However, no data are available on the risk of implant sterility loss after this process. This study aimed to test whether the treatment of implant fixtures by argon plasma in conditions compatible with clinical use produced an increased risk of microbiological contami- nation.
