Accuracy in static guided implant surgery: Results from a multicenter retrospective clinical study on 21 patients treated in three private practices.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of a static computer-assisted implant surgery (s-CAIS) system across different private practices.

Methods: This retrospective clinical study was based on data retrieved from 21 patients who received 61 implants between 2018 and 2020 in 3 private practices run by surgeons with extensive experience with s-CAIS. All patients were treated using the same s-CAIS system, planning software, template manufacturing process, and surgical guides.

Guided implant surgery with R2Gate®: A multicenter retrospective clinical study with 1 year of follow-up.

Purpose: To present the results obtained with a novel sleeveless and keyless guided implant surgery system.

Methods: Inclusion criteria for this multicenter clinical retrospective study were fully or partially edentulous patients who had been treated with a sleeveless and keyless guided implant surgery system (R2Gate®, Megagen), and who had been rehabilitated with fixed restorations, with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. All surgeries and prosthetic procedures were conducted following the same protocol, and data were obtained from the patients' medical records.

Custom-made computer-aided-design/ computer-assisted-manufacturing (CAD/CAM) synthetic bone grafts for alveolar ridge augmentation: A retrospective clinical study with 3 years of follow-up.

Purpose: To report on the results obtained with computer-aided-design/ computer-assisted-manufacturing (CAD/CAM) custom-made synthetic hydroxyapatite/beta-tricalcium-phosphate (HA/beta-TCP) bone grafts in alveolar ridge augmentation for dental implant placement.

Methods: The procedure included: (1) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the bone defect; (2) virtual design of the custom-made onlay bone grafts; (3) milling of grafts from a pre-formed block of synthetic HA/beta-TCP; and (4) bone reconstructive surgery. Implants were placed 8 months later.

Tolerances in the production of six different implant scanbodies: a comparative study.

Purpose: To investigate and compare the production tolerances of six different commercially available implant scan bodies (SBs), with the null hypothesis that there would be no tolerances in the production or significant differences between the different SBs.

Materials And Methods: Six different implant SBs (IO 6A-B and IO 2B-B, Nobel Biocare; RC 4.1 mm 025.

A Prospective Longitudinal Clinical Trial Evaluating the Preservation of the Peri-implant Hard and Soft Tissues.

This prospective longitudinal clinical trial aimed to evaluate the success of a bone-level implant with an integrated platform-switched connection by assessing peri-implant soft tissue and marginal bone level. Twenty-six patients were treated in two different centers with implants placed in healed partially edentulous ridges. Implant success rate and marginal bone level were evaluated with photographs, radiographs, and clinical measurements, with a 6-month postloading follow-up.

Retrospective Analysis of Long-Term (up to 12 years) Clinical and Radiologic Performance of Anodized-Surface Implants.

To accurately assess the long-term performance of anodized-surface implants, more data monitoring is needed outside of clinical evaluations. This retrospective study evaluated long-term implant survival and bone remodeling after up to 12 years of function. Data from 195 implants placed in 60 patients over a follow-up period ranging from 0.

Combining Intraoral Scans, Cone Beam Computed Tomography and Face Scans: The Virtual Patient.

Purpose: The aim of this literature review was to provide an update on the current scientific knowledge in the field of 3D virtual patient science and to identify a possible easy, smart, and affordable method to combine different file formats obtained from different digital devices.

Methods: Electronic searches of the Medline database was performed, up to May 2017, for articles dealing with the construction of a 3D virtual patient; the matching of data acquired with different digital devices (cone beam computed tomography, CBCT; face scanner, FS; intraoral scanner, IOS; and desktop scanner, DS) was considered. The inclusion of studies was based on the superimposition of at least 2 different digital sources.

Custom-Made Synthetic Scaffolds for Bone Reconstruction: A Retrospective, Multicenter Clinical Study on 15 Patients.

. To present a computer-assisted-design/computer-assisted-manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique for the design, fabrication, and clinical application of custom-made synthetic scaffolds, for alveolar ridge augmentation. .

Aesthetic outcome of immediately restored single implants placed in extraction sockets and healed sites of the anterior maxilla: a retrospective study on 103 patients with 3 years of follow-up.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the aesthetic outcome of single implants in extraction sockets and healed ridges of the anterior maxilla by means of the pink aesthetic score/white aesthetic score (PES/WES) index.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was based on data from 103 patients (43 males, 60 females) aged 24-65 years (mean age 41.4 ± 13.

Maxillary overdentures supported by four splinted direct metal laser sintering implants: a 3-year prospective clinical study.

Purpose. Nowadays, the advancements in direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technology allow the fabrication of titanium dental implants. The aim of this study was to evaluate implant survival, complications, and peri-implant marginal bone loss of DMLS implants used to support bar-retained maxillary overdentures.

Single-tooth morse taper connection implant placed in grafted site of the anterior maxilla: clinical and radiographic evaluation.

The aim of this study was to achieve aesthetically pleasing soft tissue contours in a severely compromised tooth in the anterior region of the maxilla. For a right-maxillary central incisor with localized advanced chronic periodontitis a tooth extraction followed by reconstructive procedures and delayed implant placement was proposed and accepted by the patient. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique was employed, with a biphasic calcium-phosphate (BCP) block graft placed in the extraction socket in conjunction with granules of the same material and a resorbable barrier membrane.
