Implant Health in Treated Periodontitis Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the role of a history of periodontitis on implant failure. The two main judgment criteria studied are peri-implantitis and the survival rate. The two secondary judgment criteria studied are the mean pocket depth and the mean peri-implant bone loss.

Characteristics and management of dental implants displaced into the maxillary sinus: a systematic review.

The displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is increasingly reported and may lead to serious complications. Better knowledge of this condition could help clinicians improve their practice, but it is difficult to draw conclusions from the current literature. Therefore, a systematic review was performed to describe the main characteristics of dental implant displacement, as well as its management and temporal evolution over a 31-year period.

In situ production of pre-vascularized synthetic bone grafts for regenerating critical-sized defects in rabbits.

Reconstructing large bone defects caused by severe trauma or resection of tumors remains a challenge for surgeons. A fibula free flap and its vascularized bed can be transplanted to the reconstruction site to achieve healing. However, this technique adds morbidity, and requires microsurgery and sculpting of the bone tissue to adapt the graft to both the vasculature and the anatomy of the defect.

Reconstruction of Large Skeletal Defects: Current Clinical Therapeutic Strategies and Future Directions Using 3D Printing.

The healing of bone fractures is a well-orchestrated physiological process involving multiple cell types and signaling molecules interacting at the fracture site to replace and repair bone tissue without scar formation. However, when the lesion is too large, normal healing is compromised. These so-called non-union bone fractures, mostly arising due to trauma, tumor resection or disease, represent a major therapeutic challenge for orthopedic and reconstructive surgeons.

Biocompatibility and osseointegration of nanostructured titanium dental implants in minipigs.

Objectives: It is well known that surface treatments of dental implants have a great impact on their rate of osseointegration. The aim of this study was to compare the biocompatibility and the bone-implant contact (BIC) of titanium dental implants with different surface treatments.

Material And Methods: Test implants (Biotech Dental) had a nanostructured surface and control implants (Anthogyr) were grit-blasted with biphasic calcium phosphate and acid-etched surface.
