Effect of orthodontic forced eruption for implant site development in the maxillary esthetic zone: A systematic review of clinical data.

Dental implant placement in the esthetic zone is associated with challenges for clinicians. The best esthetic outcome of this procedure can be obtained through precise management of hard and soft tissue. Orthodontic forced eruption (OFE) has presented an alternative approach to augment hard and soft tissues, which can be applied rapidly or slowly.

Maximum Insertion Torque, Stress, and Strain in Bone during Insertion of Three Dental Implants with Different Macroscopic Designs: A Dynamic Finite-Element Analysis.

Using finite element analysis, this study assesses maximum insertion torque, stress, and strain in bone during insertion of three dental implant types with different macroscopic designs. We model a bone block including cancellous and cortical bones and an osteotomy hole matching the size of the final implant drill. We then model three implants of the same length and diameter but with different thread and body designs.
