Implant-supported prostheses following the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) after implantoplasty procedures: A dental technique.

Esthetic concerns may appear on implant-supported prostheses after peri-implantitis treatment, such as implantoplasty procedures that includes the thread removal and surface smoothening. A technique for restoring implants that have been treated for peri-implantitis using an implantoplasty procedure combined with the detoxification of the implant surfaces is described. The technique involves the fabrication of an implant-supported prosthesis following the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) and aims to solve esthetic complications after this peri-implantitis treatment approach.

Effects of Hypochlorous Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment on Bacterial Disinfection Treatments in Implantoplasty Procedures.

One of the main problems in oral implantology today is peri-implantitis, which affects almost 20% of dental implants placed in patients. One of the most commonly used techniques to eliminate bacterial biofilm is the implantoplasty, that consists of the mechanical modification of the implant surface topography followed by treatments with chemical reagents for decontamination. In this study, the main aim is to evaluate the use of two different chemical treatments based on hypochlorous acid (HClO) and hydrogen peroxide (HO).

Multicenter retrospective study of implants loaded with functional prostheses 8 weeks after insertion.

A multicenter retrospective statistical study was carried out to evaluate whether functional prosthetic loading of an implant 8 weeks after surgical insertion is acceptable clinically. Based on studies in vitro, which confirm that the fastest and best quality bone healing occurs around implants with surface treatment specifically after sanding with Al2O3 and subsequent passivity, this knowledge was applied to clinics. Four hundred and fifteen implants were inserted in 128 patients regardless of the pathology they presented and the quantity or quality of the area of the bone to be treated.
