This study involved a randomized clinical trial that included 140 patients. Alveolar ridge preservation was performed with xenografts. Sealing in the control group consisted of a collagen membrane versus cyanoacrylate in the test group.

- This study investigates the long-term structure of bone after sinus lift surgeries, focusing on the fractal dimension of the grafted bone.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 35 patients with 51 sinus lifts, assessing changes in bone structure over 1.5 years post-surgery.
- Findings indicate significant resorption of the filling material and notable changes in fractal dimension from the day of the procedure to one year later, highlighting the dynamic nature of bone healing in these cases.
The success of oral restorations supported by dental implants in regenerated bone is well documented, as is the use of bone grafts to augment deficient alveolar bone. This article describes the bone-retention wedge graft, which may be useful for increasing the primary stability of dental implants, preserving bone in postextraction sockets, and covering exposed implant threads.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to detect the concentration of metal ions in patients with dental implants, to evaluate whether or not their release might be influenced by the presence of other metals, and to assay whether these ions might provoke genotoxic damage in oral mucosa cells.
