Esthetically driven immediate provisionalization in the anterior zone: 5-year results from a prospective study evaluating 3.0-mm-diameter tapered implants.

Objectives: Evaluate the 5-year safety and efficacy of a narrow-diameter (3.0 mm) implant that was immediately provisionalized with a single crown in the maxillary lateral incisor or mandibular central or lateral incisor area.

Materials And Methods: An open, prospective, single-cohort, multicenter study was conducted, in which narrow-diameter implants were placed in fresh, healed extraction, or congenitally missing sites.

Effects of customized CAD/CAM abutments on cytokine levels in peri-implant crevicular fluid during early implant healing: a pilot study.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess levels of biomarkers associated with inflammation and tissue destruction in peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) of implants provided with customized or standard healing abutments during early implant healing.

Materials And Methods: Thirty implants were placed in 22 patients with partial posterior edentulism. Subsequently, test group implants (n=15) received one-piece titanium abutments that were fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM).

Oral rehabilitation of tooth agenesis frequently starts in paediatric dentistry. A retrospective analysis of 625 patients.

Aim: As oral rehabilitation of tooth agenesis usually begins at a very young age, it is important to plan the therapy in advance in order to prepare the patient for the final treatment after the end of skeletal and dental growth. The diverse patterns of tooth agenesis require interdisciplinary oral rehabilitation adapted to individual factors like patient's age, number of missing teeth, and alveolar-bone development. The aim of the present high volume single-center study was to provide an overview of the management of patients with tooth agenesis, in terms of treatment approaches, associations, and long-term implant survival, over a period of 30 years.

Guided Osteotomy and Guided Autotransplantation for Treatment of Severely Impacted Teeth: A Proof-of-Concept Report.

Introduction: The aim was to present a novel surgical technique using virtually preplanned 3-dimensional (3D)-printed templates for guided osteotomies. These were to ensure atraumatic uncovering of a severely impacted donor tooth including guided drilling of the recipient alveolus followed by a secure autotransplantation procedure.

Methods: This report presents an autotransplantation procedure of a 14-year-old patient with a severely impacted second premolar and extensive contact to the roots of the adjacent teeth and the inferior alveolar nerve.

Immediate provisionalization in the esthetic zone: 1-year interim results from a prospective single-cohort multicenter study evaluating 3.0-mm-diameter tapered implants.

Objectives: The aim of this interim analysis of a 5-year prospective multicenter study is to evaluate clinical and radiological performance of immediately provisionalized 3.0-mm-diameter tapered implants.

Materials And Methods: Patients needing implant rehabilitation of maxillary lateral incisors or mandibular lateral and central incisors were treated with 3.
