Effects of clindamycin and amoxycillin as prophylaxis against early implant failure: double-blinded randomized clinical trial.

Objective: The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) was to compare the frequency of early implant failure, postoperative infection, and pain/inflammation and the degree of implant stability between healthy non-penicillin-allergic individuals receiving a single prophylactic dose of 600 mg clindamycin versus 2 g amoxicillin at 1 h before implant surgery.

Materials And Methods: A single-center double-blinded RCT study with parallel groups was undertaken. Eighty-two patients fulfilled study inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to the amoxicillin (n = 41) or clindamycin (n = 41) group.

Analysis of the Prognostic Factors That Influence the Outcome of Periapical Surgery, including Biomimetic Membranes for Tissue Regeneration: A Review.

Influence of different surgical techniques on primary implant stability in the posterior maxilla: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background And Objective: Primary stability (PS) is remarkable for secondary stability and implant success. Surgical technique modifications seem to improve primary stability, especially in poor quality bone. The aim of this study was to compare the insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotients (ISQ) of implants placed with underpreparation, expanders, and standard surgical instrumentation in different bone types.

Intra- and inter-operator concordance of the resonance frequency analysis. A cross-sectional and prospective clinical study.

Objective: Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) provides an evaluation of implant stability over time. This analysis is a non-invasive, precise, and objective method. Several studies compare the RFA system with other devices.

Objective: Impacted third molar extraction is associated with acute moderate-to-severe pain for up to 48 hours post-surgery. This trial was designed to compare the analgesic effectiveness, swelling, and adverse events after impacted third molar surgery following multimodal therapy with 75 mg tramadol hydrochloride plus 25 mg dexketoprofen or monotherapy with 400 mg ibuprofen.

Methods: Seventy-two patients were randomly assigned to receiving ibuprofen (n = 36) or tramadol-dexketoprofen (n = 36).

Comparison between Tissue Adhesive Cyanoacrylate and Suture for Palatal Fibromucosa Healing: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive is proposed to promote soft tissue healing in oral surgery and minimize complications (pain, inflammation, and bleeding) associated with wound healing by secondary intention. The objective was to compare cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (test group) with suture (control group) in terms of postoperative complications, operative time, and wound healing in the palatal donor area after harvesting a de-epithelialized gingival graft. A randomized controlled clinical trial was performed in 24 patients randomly assigned to one of two study groups.

Role of Salivary MicroRNA and Cytokines in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent oral malignant tumor worldwide. An early diagnosis can have a major positive impact on its prognosis. Human saliva contains cytokines, DNA and RNA molecules, circulating cells, and derivatives of tissues and extracellular vesicles, among other factors that can serve as biomarkers.

Comparison of Implant Stability between Regenerated and Non-Regenerated Bone. A Prospective Cohort Study.

Implant stability is one of the main indicators of successful osseointegration. Although it has been measured in numerous studies, there has been little research on implant stability in regenerated bone. The study compares primary and secondary stability between implants placed in regenerated versus native bone and evaluates the influence of bone quality on the results.

Long-Term Survival of Dental Implants with Different Prosthetic Loading Times in Healthy Patients: A 5-Year Retrospective Clinical Study.

Purpose: To compare survival rates among dental implants restored with immediate, early, and conventional loading protocols, also comparing between maxillary and mandibular implants, and to evaluate the influence of implant length and diameter and the type of prosthesis on treatment outcomes.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study initially included all 52 patients receiving dental implants between July 2006 and February 2008 at a private oral surgery clinic in Granada (Southern Spain). Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed, including periapical or panoramic radiographs, and incidences during completion of the restoration were recorded at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years.

Measurement of dental implant stability by resonance frequency analysis: a review of the literature.

Dental implant treatment is an excellent option for prosthetic restoration that is associated with high success rates. Implant stability is essential for a good outcome. The clinical assessment of osseointegration is based on mechanical stability rather than histological criteria, considering primary stability (absence of mobility in bone bed after implant insertion) and secondary stability (bone formation and remodelling at implant-bone interface).

Factors related to survival from oral cancer in an Andalusian population sample (Spain).

Introduction: Approximately 3% of malignant tumors originate in the oral cavity. The majority are squamous cell carcinomas, and a small percentage, malignant tumors of the salivary glands, lymphoreticular diseases, bone tumors, melanomas, sarcomas, malignant odontogenic tumors and metastases of tumors from other locations. The prognosis of these pathologies depends on the size, infiltration, and site of the lesion, the presence or absence of metastatic spread, and to a certain degree the differentiation of the tumor.

Cylindrical dental implants with hydroxyapatite- and titanium plasma spray-coated surfaces: 5-year results.

Clinical follow-up was conducted on 127 cylindrical implants placed in 21 patients after 5 years of function: 75 implants were coated with titanium plasma spray (TPS) and 52 implants were coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). The aim of the study was to assess possible differences in clinical function and success rates for each implant type. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were conducted, and the periodontal indices of gingival bleeding, plaque, and calculus were measured.

Esthetic restoration with orthodontic traction and single-tooth implant: case report.

This case report describes the use of orthodontic traction to recover soft tissue lost around a maxillary right central incisor with major external root resorption associated with severe gingival recession. Traction of the residual root for 1 month produced a gingival appearance in harmony with the adjacent teeth. After the placement of an implant, a correct emergence profile was obtained, giving an optimal esthetic outcome.
