Objective: This university-based retrospective study aimed to assess the performance of the implant disease risk assessment (IDRA) in predicting peri-implantitis.
Material And Methods: Patients with implants loaded for at least 1 year were included. Peri-implantitis development was the outcome, while the IDRA score and its eight vectors were the predictors.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) in treating gingival recessions (GR) in a thin gingival phenotype. This double-blind, planned, controlled, split-mouth clinical trial included 30 patients with bilateral recessions, randomly assigned to a test group (extended flap + XCM) and a control group (extended flap + connective tissue graft; CTG). Root coverage at 18 months was 1.

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two-piece and one-piece abutments in terms of esthetics, patient satisfaction, and oral health quality for single crowns on implants.
- Thirty implants were randomly divided into two groups (15 each) and various measurements for esthetics, satisfaction, and quality of life were taken at different time points.
- Results showed no significant differences between the two types of abutments, with both improving patient satisfaction and esthetics over time, indicating they are equally effective.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of preloading crestal bone loss (PLCBL) and to identify the patient-related and implant-related factors associated with PLCBL.
Methods: This retrospective cohort examined the dental records of patients who received at least one dental implant. PLCBL was defined as a reduction ⩾0.
