Prosthetic Complications of Single Screw-Retained Implant-Supported Metal-Ceramic Fixed Prostheses: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Purpose: To analyze prosthetic complications of single screw-retained implant-supported metal-ceramic fixed prostheses (SSIMCFPs).

Materials And Methods: A total of 457 medical records of patients treated with implants at the University Dental Clinic of the European University of Valencia from 2016 to 2022 were reviewed. Of the 335 SSIMCFPs evaluated, 222 were included.

Frequency of surgical bone augmentation methods complementary to dental implant placement: A study evaluated with cone beam computed tomography.

Background: The success of dental implants largely depends on the quantity and quality of available bone. Occasionally, it is necessary to perform additional surgical techniques alongside implant placement to increase the available bone volume and ensure the success and survival of treatments. The objective of this study was to evaluate, through cone beam computed tomography, the need for supplementary bone augmentation methods in implant placement.

Cone-beam computed tomographic evaluation of dimensional hard tissue changes following alveolar ridge preservation techniques of different bone substitutes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effects of different graft materials used in alveolar ridge preservation on dimensional hard tissue changes of the alveolar ridge, assessed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.

Methods: A systematic electronic search of MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and a manual search were conducted from November 2019 until January 2020. Randomized controlled trials were included if they assessed at least 1 variable related to vertical or horizontal hard tissue changes measured using CBCT scans.

The Association Between Suppuration on Palpation and Diagnosis of Peri-implantitis: A Cross-sectional Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate suppuration on palpation, used as a diagnostic test, in the detection of peri-implantitis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 65 patients with 267 implants were examined. Clinical inspection was performed by two blinded examiners: The first measured suppuration on palpation, and the second conducted a complete clinical examination.

Implant survival after surgical treatment of early apical peri-implantitis: An ambispective cohort study covering a 20-year period.

Purpose: To describe implant survival at least 1 year after the surgical treatment of early apical peri-implantitis (EAP) and explore potential risk factors of failure of such treatment.

Materials And Methods: An ambispective cohort study was conducted, involving all patients in whom EAP was detected and surgically treated between 1996 and 2016. Reporting followed the STROBE guidelines.

Factors associated with early apical peri-implantitis: A retrospective study covering a 20-year period.

Purpose: To explore risk indicators potentially associated with early apical peri-implantitis (EAP).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective survey was performed in 2017 with recorded information from patients receiving dental implants between 1996 and 2016. Reporting follows the STROBE (strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology) guidelines.

Influence of Hemostatic Agents in the Prognosis of Periapical Surgery: A Randomized Study of Epinephrine versus Aluminum Chloride.

Introduction: Several variables have been associated with a better prognosis of periapical surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of 2 hemostatic agents on the prognosis of periapical surgery at 12 months.

Methods: A prospective study was designed with 2 randomized parallel groups established depending on the hemostatic agent used: epinephrine or aluminum chloride.

State of the art and clinical recommendations in periapical implant lesions. 9th Mozo-Grau Ticare Conference in Quintanilla, Spain.

This manuscript summarizes the statements and clinical recommendations in periapical implant lesions, as per the state of the art and expert opinion agreement among the participants in the 9th Mozo-Grau Conference 2016 held in Quintanilla (Valladolid, Spain). The current status of the concept, frequency, etiology, diagnosis, clinical classification, surgical procedure and prognosis are described. If following implant placement localized pain develops in the periapical area, with or without radiographic changes, the diagnosis of periapical implant lesion should be suspected.

Hemostatic Agents in Periapical Surgery: A Randomized Study of Gauze Impregnated in Epinephrine versus Aluminum Chloride.

Introduction: Adequate bleeding control is essential for the success of periapical surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 2 hemostatic agents on the outcome of periapical surgery and their relationship with patient and teeth parameters.

Methods: A prospective study was designed with 2 randomized parallel groups, depending on the hemostatic agent used: gauze impregnated in epinephrine (epinephrine group) and aluminum chloride (aluminum chloride group).
