Removal of osseointegrated dental implants: a systematic review of explantation techniques.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to evaluate current literature regarding available techniques for removal of osseointegrated implants in terms of explantation's success, complications, and bone loss.

Material And Methods: Two reviewers conducted a systematic literature search through electronic databases (PubMed and EMBASE), complimented by manual and grey literature searches. Successful explantation was defined as the primary outcome.

Modern treatment planning approach facing a failure of conventional treatment. Part II: case report and discussion.

In this two-part case presentation, the benchmarks of our treatment planning principles are briefly exposed and their application is discussed with regards to a 35-year-old female patient with multiple failing restorations and an esthetic complaint regarding the maxillary anterior teeth. In the first part, our four treatment principles were proposed, the patient's main problems were presented and three treatment options were discussed. In the second part, the treatment choice is disclosed along with the decision making process, the respective diagnostic procedures involved, and finally the sequential treatment.

TiNOx coatings on roughened titanium and CoCr alloy accelerate early osseointegration of dental implants in minipigs.

Introduction: Titanium nitride oxide (TiNOx) coatings are known for their biocompatibility, hardness and high resistance to corrosion and wear. Further, they can be applied by plasma vapor deposition onto a wide variety of metallic, mineral, or organic substrates. In cell cultures, TiNOx coatings applied onto SLA (sandblasted, large grit, acid etched)-roughened titanium surfaces increased human primary osteoblast proliferation by 1.
