Statement Of Problem: Immediate implant placement in the maxillary premolar area is challenged by anatomic variations imposing risks such as perforation of the buccal bone and the maxillary sinus. Previous studies have addressed the potentially relevant factors individually; a study assessing all relevant variables comprehensively and with a large sample size is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this observational study was to analyze multiple anatomic considerations, including sagittal root position, alveolar bone concavity angle, buccal bone perforation, maxillary sinus floor root proximity, and maxillary sinus perforation in the maxillary premolar area, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to inform, perceive, and simplify the placement of immediate implants.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the prevalence of periodontal disease among Saudi Arabian adults based on studies conducted from 1992 to 2023.
Methods: The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO. Three databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane library) and the Saudi Dental Journal were searched for published literature up to June 2023 using prespecified search strategy.
Statement Of Problem: Previous studies have examined the maxillary esthetic zone for immediate implant placement, but these studies had small sample sizes and did not investigate multiple parameters.
Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the sagittal root position (SRP), alveolar bone concavity, labial bone perforation (LBP), and tooth-ridge angle in the maxillary anterior teeth region.
Material And Methods: A total of 352 CBCT images of patients (180 men and 172 women) who visited the dental hospital between 2018 and 2023 were analyzed.
Statement Of Problem: With the increasing interest in the applications of robots in implant dentistry and an acceleration in disseminating information about this field and its applications, a comprehensive review of robots in implant dentistry has become necessary.
Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to identify the present status and development of robotic applications in implant dentistry and provide insights into future implementation and advancement, limitations, and strategies for enhanced clinical adoption and technical advancement.
Material And Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was followed.
