Peri-implant crevicular fluid biomarkers as discriminants of peri-implant health and disease.

Aim: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the potential of peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) analytes to discriminate between peri-implant health and disease using a multi-biomarker approach.

Methods: We collected PICF samples from the mesio-buccal site of every implant (n = 145) from 52 subjects with peri-implantitis and measured the levels of 20 biomarkers using Luminex. We grouped implants and subjects based on the clinical characteristic of the sampled sites and implants into: healthy sites from healthy implants (HH), diseased sites from diseased implants (DD) and healthy sites from diseased implants (HD).

The Influence of Low-Level Laser on Osseointegration Around Machined and Sandblasted Acid-Etched Implants: A Removal Torque and Histomorphometric Analyses.

Evaluation of the influence of laser application on osseointegration around implants with different surface characteristics is limited. This study aims to evaluate the influence of low-level lasers on the early stages of osseointegration. Ninety-six external hex implants (3.
