Clinical outcomes of dental implants placed in fresh sockets: A five-year retrospective study.

Purpose: This retrospective clinical study aimed to evaluate the implants placed in fresh sockets and investigate the effect of varied oral health conditions and treatment plan details on the clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-nine participants (102 implants) were included in this study. Four variables, including mean probing depth (PD), mean marginal bone loss (MBL), pink esthetic score (PES), and patient satisfaction, were significant dependent variables, and the effects of independent variables on these four items were studied.

LEVELS OF SMOKING AND PERI‑IMPLANT MARGINAL BONE LOSS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS.

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to determine if there was a significantly enhanced risk of peri‑implant marginal bone loss (MBL) due to the increased number of cigarettes smoked per day.

Materials And Methods: Six databases, including Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest, were searched until February, 2021. The search terms "dental implant, oral implant, smoking, smoker, non-smoker, marginal bone loss and crestal bone loss" were used in combination to seek the articles providing data for MBL related to the smoking habit.

Levels of smoking and dental implants failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: The present systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to investigate if there was a significantly enhanced risk of dental implant failure due to the increased number of cigarettes smoked per day.

Materials And Methods: Four databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus, were searched until January, 2019. The search terms "dental implant, oral implant, smoking, smoker, tobacco, nicotine and non-smoker" were used in combination to identify the publications providing data for dental implant failures related to the smoking habit.

Serum, saliva, and GCF concentration of RANKL and osteoprotegerin in smokers versus nonsmokers with chronic periodontitis.

Background: The role of host response in periodontitis pathogenesis is confirmed, and it is well established that immune response plays a major role in the alveolar bone destruction. In the investigation of these responses, the role of receptor activator of the nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL)-osteoprotegerin (OPG) system is the most promising. Smoking can affect the RANKL-OPG system in a manner that will further enhance bone loss in periodontitis.

The influence of ultrasound on removal of prefabricated metal post cemented with different resin cements.

Background: Ultrasonic vibrations are used to remove a cemented post from a root canal requiring endodontic retreatment. Various results have been reported from the studies that evaluated the effect of ultrasonic instruments in removing the posts cemented with resin cements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasonic energy on the retention of prefabricated metal post cemented with Panavia or Maxcem Elite cements.
