Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed the safety and accuracy of static computer-assisted corticotomy surgery (sCACS) versus freehand piezocision through a randomized in vitro approach with 260 corticotomies on 20 models.
  • sCACS showed significantly less risk of damaging root surfaces (2.21 times less likely) and performed better in accuracy across multiple measurements compared to freehand techniques, indicating less deviation from digital planning.
  • The findings suggest that sCACS is a safer and more precise option for performing corticotomies, emphasizing the importance of using surgical guides in tight spaces to minimize root damage in clinical scenarios.

Background: Implantoplasty (IP) involves polishing of the exposed surface of implants affected by peri-implantitis (PI). A study was made to determine whether the degree of bone loss influences the fracture resistance of implants with or without IP.

Material And Methods: An in vitro study was carried out on 32 narrow (3.

Aim: To evaluate differences in probing depth (PPD) with and without a prosthesis in implants without interproximal bone loss (IBL). Secondarily, to assess whether the difference in PPD measured with and without the crown was affected by diagnosis or implant location.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with a single screw-retained implant-supported crown in the posterior area, without IBL.

Background: Peri-implantitis is a biological complication that affects soft and hard tissues around dental implants. Implantoplasty (IP) polishes the exposed implant surface, to decontaminate it and make it less prone to bacterial colonization. This study investigates whether a higher clinical crown-to-implant-ratio (CIR) reduces implant fracture resistance and whether implants are more fracture-prone after IP in the presence of 50% of bone loss.

Background: To assess the effect of implantoplasty and implant-abutment design on the fracture resistance and macroscopic morphology of narrow-diameter (3.5 mm) dental implants.

Material And Methods: Screw-shaped titanium dental implants (n = 48) were studied in vitro.
