Surgical treatment of peri-implantitis via multiple decontamination procedures and a regenerative protocol: a case report with 6-year follow-up.

Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease around dental implants that induces progressive bone resorption. Several procedures for decontaminating the implant surface and promoting bone growth have been established to treat this condition. The purpose of the present case report was to describe the decontamination method used to achieve peri-implant health in a 60-year-old man who had a single implant that had been in function in the mandibular left molar region for 10 years.

Full-arch prostheses supported by implants with different macrostructures: A multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: This study evaluates the clinical performance of implants with hydrophilic surface and two different macrostructures: cylindrical with perforating triangular threads (CT) and cylindrical-tapered with the association of square and condensing and perforating triangular threads (TST).

Materials And Methods: This was a multicenter split-mouth, simple-blinded, randomized, and controlled trial. Thirty patients with edentulous mandible received two CT and two TST implants.

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Clinical Crown Lengthening Using Piezoelectric Ultrasound.

This case report is aimed at describing a flapless, minimally invasive clinical crown lengthening with an osteotomy performed using a piezoelectric ultrasound. A female patient complained about the amount of gum that was exposed when she smiled, which caused aesthetic discomfort. After a clinical examination, it was confirmed that the patient had excessive gum exposure in the upper arch of the dental region for teeth 14 to 24 when she smiled.
