The Use of Statins as an Adjunctive Periodontal Disease Treatment: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: the purpose of this systematic review was to assess the clinical and radiographic effect of subgingival-administered statins as an adjunct periodontal treatment in patients with periodontitis.

Methods: Electronic literature searches in Medline/PubMed and the Cochrane Library were conducted to identify all relevant articles. Eligibility was based on inclusion criteria which included Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) published after 2010, where the periodontal variables were assessed before and after periodontal treatment in combination with a statin administration.

Peri-implantitis and maxillary sinus membrane thickening: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the association of peri-implantitis (PI) and sinus membrane thickening and to assess the resolution of membrane thickening following intervention (implant removal or peri-implantitis treatment) aimed at arresting PI.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five patients with 61 implants in the posterior maxillary region were retrospectively included in the study. Twenty-four patients were diagnosed with peri-implantitis (PI) and 21 had peri-implant health (PH).

25 years of Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research (CIDRR): A modern bibliometric and Altmetrics network analysis.

Introduction: Since its establishment in 1999, the journal of Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research (CIDRR) has consistently disseminated notable clinical and translational research within the domain of oral implantology. As the journal approaches its milestone 25th anniversary, this study endeavors to systematically delineate the publication trends, level of evidence, and bibliometric indices characterizing the initial quarter-century of CIDRR's scholarly activity. Notably, the investigation adopts a contemporary methodology by incorporating Altmetric analysis, thereby enriching the evaluation with an assessment of the broader societal and online impact of the published research.

Disease recurrence during supportive therapy following peri-implantitis treatment: A retrospective study.

Aim: Supportive therapy is key to prevent disease recurrence after peri-implantitis treatment. The primary objective was to quantify disease recurrence during supportive peri-implant therapy (SPIT) after peri-implantitis treatment. A secondary objective was to assess the success/failure of cumulative interceptive supportive therapy (CIST) after peri-implantitis treatment.
