Background: The high resorption rate of intra-oral Onlay block grafts, coupled with morbidity and limited bone availability, means that the use of guided bone regeneration (GBR) may be preferable for vertical augmentation of mandibular atrophic posterior sectors. Aims: To evaluate the bone gain and surface resorption of the intraoral Onlay block graft compared to the GBR; as well as to study postoperative complications, survival and success rates of dental implant, and peri-implant marginal bone loss.
Material And Methods: An electronic search was performed in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web Of Science databases on bone augmentation with intraoral autologous onlay block graft or GBR until December 2021.
Background: To review systematically the bone gain and superficial resorption rate of the onlay block bone grafts versus the cortical tenting technique, as well as secondarily study the postoperative complications, implant survival and success rates, and peri-implant marginal bone loss.
Material And Methods: Following the recommended methods for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA), an electronic search was performed in the PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE and the Cochrane Library of the Cochrane Collaboration (CENTRAL) databases to identify all relevant articles published up to March 2021 on onlay block bone grafts and cortical tenting technique.
Results: Eighteen papers complied with the inclusion criteria.

Background: The understanding and adherence to postoperative care instructions may be influenced by how they are presented by the professional interfering the recuperation process after surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a postoperative phone call follow-up compared with a traditional verbally and written instructions regarding compliance of postoperative recommendations after third molar surgery; and secondly, to discover the main points of non-compliance.
Material And Methods: A randomized clinical study was performed including patients that underwent surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular or maxillary third molar in the Oral Surgery Unit of the University of Valencia from January 2016 to January 2017.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated non-surgical treatment methods for peri-implantitis by comparing curettes with ultrasounds against curettes with an abrasive air polisher (Air-Flow).
- Both treatment methods led to significant improvements in peri-implant conditions and patient satisfaction, though some clinical variables remained unchanged.
- The type of debridement did not largely impact treatment outcomes, but the Air-Flow group showed better plaque reduction and higher patient satisfaction.
Purpose: Preserving peri-implant bone and reducing exposure of the rough implant surface might influence long-term outcomes of implant therapy. The aim of this study was to compare peri-implant clinical and radiologic parameters after crestal and subcrestal dental implant placement at 36 months' follow-up.
Materials And Methods: We carried out a randomized clinical trial involving partially edentulous patients in need of an implant-supported, partial fixed dental prosthesis or a single crown.
