The demand for efficient and accelerated osseointegration in dental implantology has led to the exploration of innovative tissue engineering strategies. Immediate implant loading reduces treatment duration and necessitates robust osseointegration to ensure long-term implant success. This review article discusses the current studies of tissue engineering innovations for enhancing osseointegration in immediate dental implant loading in the recent decade.

- - The study aimed to evaluate the microhardness of enamel treated with two different pH bleaching agents and the impact of fluoride therapy before and after bleaching treatments.
- - Eighty bovine incisors were split into eight groups to test various combinations of bleaching agents and fluoride treatments, with hardness measured at three intervals and assessed using statistical analysis.
- - Results indicated that Pola Office bleaching resulted in the greatest enamel softening, while applying 2% NaF gel afterward effectively restored some enamel hardness, although the fluoride treatment after Pola Office+ had minimal benefits.
Background: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of Nd:YAG laser-assisted periodontal therapy for management of patients with stage II-IV periodontitis.
Methods: Patients who presented with residual periodontal pockets were enrolled. After non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT), test sites received Nd:YAG laser (first entrance to pocket: 3 W, 100 μs, 20 Hz; second entrance: 4 W, 600 μs, 20 Hz) and control sites received placebo (laser off).
