Immediate Implant Placement with Soft Tissue Augmentation Using Acellular Dermal Matrix Versus Connective Tissue Graft: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

This systematic review investigates the efficacy of using connective tissue grafting (CTG) versus an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for soft tissue management in immediate implant placement (IIP). The study focuses on comparing the soft tissue thickness (STT) and keratinized tissue width (KTW) changes post-implantation. Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted, targeting randomized clinical trials and cohort studies involving soft tissue grafting in conjunction with IIP.

Immediate Implant Placement in the Esthetic Area Using an Inverted Body-Shift Design: A Prospective Clinical Pilot Study.

A prospective clinical pilot study was carried out to evaluate a novel macroimplant design with a 12-degree angled platform. Twelve patients were enrolled in an immediate implant placement procedure with immediate esthetic rehabilitation to replace an anterior maxillary tooth and were treated with implants having an inverted body-shift design with a 12-degree angled neck. Only type I sockets (according to the Elian classification) were considered eligible for the study.

The Evaluation of Condylar Position Change in the Asymmetric Mandible Following Sagittal Split Osteotomy.

Background: The change of condyle position following orthognathic surgery affects the stability of treatments. This study aims to assess the correlation between the amount of condyles' position change and the severity of mandibular asymmetry following BSSO.

Materials And Methods: This is a cross-sectional study.

Which factors affect the risk of membrane perforation in lateral window maxillary sinus elevation? A prospective cohort study.

It was the aim of this prospective cohort study to assess the various anatomical and other patient-related factors that increase membrane perforation risk. Patients underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) before surgery. The presence of septa, presence of mucous retention cyst, lateral wall thickness, membrane thickness, and residual bone height were predictive factors.

Influence of Insertion Torques on the Surface Integrity in Different Dental Implants: An Ex Vivo Descriptive Study.

Background: The primary objective of this ex vivo study was to assess the influence of increasing insertion torques on three types of dental implants and possible alterations of their microgeometry after the application of three different torque intensities.

Methods: 27 implants of 3 different implant brands (Groups A, B and C) were placed in cow ribs using 30 Ncm, 45 Ncm and 55 Ncm insertion torques. The implants were subsequently removed using trephine burs, and SEM analysis was carried out in order to detect implant surface and connection changes, as compared to the implant controls.

Clinical Evidence on a Novel Macrohybrid Design Dental Implant with 12° Angled Platform: A Systematic Review.

: Immediate implant placement with immediate esthetics has become a more common procedure over time, though ensuring good emergence of the axis of the implant has been a challenge. A novel macroimplant design with an angled platform (Co-Axis) has been developed to ensure exit of the head of the implant in the correct prosthetic position. A systematic literature review was carried to determine the survival rate and marginal bone loss associated with these implants.

Does the Lag Time Between Injury and Treatment Play a Role in Recovery of Inferior Alveolar Nerve Neurosensory Disturbances Following Mandibular Body Fracture?

Background: The lag time between injury and treatment (LTIT) plays an important role in reduction of complications in mandibular fractures. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of LTIT on recovery of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) neurosensory disturbances (NSDs) following surgical management of mandibular body fractures.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study.

Zygoma Quad Compared With 2 Zygomatic Implants: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to systematically review and compare the survival rates (SRs) of oral rehabilitations performed with 2 zygomatic implants (ZIs) combined with regular implants (RIs) versus 4 ZI.

Material And Methods: An electronic search was performed in several databases for articles published in English between 2007 and 2015. Articles reporting human studies were included in this systematic review.

3D planning in orthognathic surgery: CAD/CAM surgical splints and prediction of the soft and hard tissues results - our experience in 16 cases.

The aim of this article is to determine the advantages of 3D planning in predicting postoperative results and manufacturing surgical splints using CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology in orthognathic surgery when the software program Simplant OMS 10.1 (Materialise(®), Leuven, Belgium) was used for the purpose of this study which was carried out on 16 patients. A conventional preoperative treatment plan was devised for each patient following our Centre's standard protocol, and surgical splints were manufactured.

Primary intraosseous carcinoma and odontogenic cyst. Three new cases and review of the literature.

Introduction: The Odontogenic Primary Intraosseous Carcinoma (PIOC) are a rare group of malignant tumours with strict clinic and anatomy pathological diagnosis criteria. The different classification suggested for these tumours and the small amount of cases described in literature makes it hard to know exactly how many of the cases published until now are real.

Material And Methods: We present three new cases of PIOC originated from a previous cystic lesion that where treated in our Hospital.
