Objectives: The aim of the present systematic review was to evaluate the dimensional influence of the epithelialized tissue graft harvested from the palate in the postoperative pain.
Material And Methods: Research was conducted in electronic databases Cochrane Library, Embase, LILACS, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science upwards May 15, 2022. Studies that reported the influence of graft dimensions of palatal epithelized harvesting on postoperative pain were eligible.
Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) has emerged in Implant Dentistry with a series of short-time applications and as a promising material to substitute definitive dental implants. Several strategies have been investigated to diminish biofilm formation on the PEEK surface aiming to decrease the possibility of related infections. Therefore, a comprehensive review was carried out in order to compare PEEK with materials widely used nowadays in Implant Dentistry, such as titanium and zirconia, placing emphasis on studies investigating its ability to grant or prevent biofilm formation.

- The review explores the connection between obesity and periodontal diseases, focusing on inflammatory markers in serum, saliva, and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), and how they relate to obesity and periodontitis statuses in adults.
- Out of 832 studies reviewed, 21 were qualitatively analyzed and 15 quantitatively assessed, revealing that adults with both obesity and periodontitis (O+P+) had significantly higher levels of certain inflammatory markers compared to those without periodontitis or obesity.
- Although the quality of the studies was mostly acceptable, the overall evidence supporting the link between these conditions and inflammatory markers was graded as very low to moderate, with additional nuances in potential biomarkers still needing exploration.
Introduction: The rehabilitation of a maxillary single dental implant represents a great challenge at clinical practice. Harmony among the implant-supported crown and adjacent teeth is required in which concerns pink and white esthetics. The aim of the present case report is to depict a multidisciplinary treatment in which the U-shape flap technique for papillae preservation at second stage surgery was used.
