Effect of one-time placement of the definitive abutment versus multiple healing abutment disconnections and reconnections during the prosthetic phase on radiographic and clinical outcomes: A 12-month randomized clinical trial.

Objective: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect on clinical and radiological outcomes of the one-abutment, one-time protocol (test) versus placing the definitive abutment on the day of functional loading after having disconnected and connected three times the healing abutment during the prosthetic phase (control).

Materials And Methods: Forty patients with 80 implants were randomly allocated to either the test or the control group. Changes in the radiographic marginal bone levels (MBLs), clinical outcomes, prosthetic-related outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) were assessed and compared 6 and 12 months after functional loading.

The effect of one-time abutment placement on clinical and radiographic outcomes: A 5-year randomized clinical trial.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term (5 years) clinical efficacy of the one-abutment one-time protocol (test) versus the standard of care by placing the definitive abutment on the day of the prosthetic delivery (control).

Materials And Methods: In this study, 39 subjects with 60 implants were randomly allocated to either the test or the control group. Changes in the radiographic interproximal bone levels (DIB), modified sulcus bleeding index, probing depth, modified plaque index, papilla fill (Jemt score), incidence of peri-implantitis and peri-implant mucositis as well as patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) were collected and compared at 1, 3 and 5 years.

Efficacy of adjunctive measures in peri-implant mucositis. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To answer the following PICO question: In systemically healthy humans with peri-implant mucositis, what is the efficacy of patient-performed or administered (by prescription) measures used adjunctively to submarginal instrumentation, as compared to submarginal instrumentation alone or combined with a negative control, in terms of reducing bleeding on probing (BOP), in randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) with at least 3 months of follow-up?

Materials And Methods: Three databases were searched until April 2022. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and predictive intervals were calculated.

Results: Sixteen parallel RCTs corresponding to 14 studies with low/moderate risk of bias were included.

Effect of orthodontic therapy in periodontitis and non-periodontitis patients: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Aim: To answer these PICO questions: #1: In adult patients with malocclusion, what are the effects of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) on clinical attachment level (CAL) changes in treated periodontitis patients with a healthy but reduced periodontium compared to non-periodontitis patients? #2: In adult patients with treated periodontitis and malocclusion, which is the efficacy of skeletal anchorage devices compared to conventional systems in terms of orthodontic treatment outcomes?

Material And Methods: Seven databases were searched until June 2020 looking for randomized, non-randomized trials and case series. Mean effects (ME) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.

Results: Twenty-six studies with high risk of bias were included.

Efficacy of a 0.03% chlorhexidine and 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouth rinse in reducing inflammation around the teeth and implants: a randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of a 0.03% chlorhexidine (CHX) and 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouth rinse, as an adjunct to professional plaque removal (PPR) and mechanical hygiene, in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PiM) and gingivitis.

Clinical effects of the adjunctive use of a 0.03% chlorhexidine and 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouth rinse in the management of peri-implant diseases: A randomized clinical trial.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of a 0.03% chlorhexidine and 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouth rinse, as an adjunct to professionally and patient-administered mechanical plaque removal, in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis (PiM).

Safety and performance of a novel collagenated xenogeneic bone block for lateral alveolar crest augmentation for staged implant placement.

Objectives: To evaluate the performance and safety of placing a collagenated xenogeneic bone block (CXBB) graft for the lateral bone augmentation of the alveolar crest prior to implant placement.

Material & Methods: In patients with single or multiple tooth gaps and a severe horizontal collapse of the alveolar ridge, a ridge augmentation procedure was performed using CXBB fixated with osteosynthesis screws to the atrophic bone crest and complemented with deproteinized bovine bone mineral particles (DBBM) and a native bilayer collagen membrane (NBCM). Patients were examined with CBCT prior to and 24 weeks after the augmentation.
