Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to compare treatment outcomes in terms of implant survival rate, marginal bone loss, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) between narrow-diameter implants and regular-diameter implants (RDIs) for mandibular implant overdentures (MIOs).
Methods: This study was based on the methodology adapted as per Cochrane. Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for pertinent studies published by July 22, 2022.
Objectives: This retrospective study to evaluate the treatment outcomes of mandibular mini-implant overdentures (MIODs) placed under a two-step immediate loading protocol.
Background: The mini-implant overdenture emphasises the advantages of simplicity using flapless surgery and immediate loading. However, some mini-implant have lowe initial stability.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the color stability of provisional restorative materials fabricated by 3D printing, dental milling, and conventional materials.
Materials And Methods: For the experimental groups, two commercially available 3D-printing provisional resins (E-Dent 100; EnvisionTEC GmbH, Germany & VeroGlaze™; Stratasys®, USA), two dental milling blocks (PMMA Disk; Yamahachi Dental Co., Japan & Telio®CAD; Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Liechtenstein), and two conventional materials (Alike™; GC Co.
This study aimed to compare bone healing and implant stability for three types of dental implants: a threaded implant, a three-dimensional (3D)-printed implant without spikes, and a 3D-printed implant with spikes. In four beagle dogs, left and right mandibular premolars (2nd, 3rd, and 4th) and 1st molars were removed. Twelve weeks later, three types of titanium implants (threaded implant, 3D-printed implant without spikes, and 3D-printed implant with spikes) were randomly inserted into the edentulous ridges of each dog.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effect of non-thermal plasma on the shear bond strength of resin cements to polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) in comparison to other surface treatment methods.
Materials And Methods: Eighty PEKK discs were subjected to different surface treatments: (1) Untreated (UT); (2) Non-thermal plasma (NTP); (3) Sandblasting with 50 µm AlO particles (SB); and (4) Sandblasting + Non-thermal plasma (SB+NTP). After each surface treatment, the contact angle was measured.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate treatment outcomes of mandibular overdentures retained by two different mini-implant systems with ball attachments under a two-step immediate loading protocol.
Materials And Methods: This clinical trial investigated treatment outcomes of mandibular mini-implant overdentures in 45 edentulous patients. MDI implants (3M ESPE) and SlimLine implants (Dentium) were randomly selected for placement in the anterior mandible in each group (MDI = 21; SlimLine = 24) with a flapless surgical approach.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of growth factor-loaded collagen membranes for promoting new bone growth in horizontal bone augmentation.
- Six male beagle dogs had mandibular defects surgically created, then treated with one of three membrane types for comparison.
- Results showed that while the rhBMP-2 loaded membrane led to greater bone formation at 8 weeks, by 16 weeks, there were no significant differences in new bone growth or horizontal bone gain among the three membrane types.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of five commercially available desensitizing agents with different mechanisms applied to hypersensitive teeth.
Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on subjects suffering dentin hypersensitivity in Korea University Guro Hospital from October 2013 to April 2015. A total of 64 subjects met the selection criteria and were randomly assigned to five commercially available desensitizing agents, and applied according to the manufacturers' instructions.
Purpose: The object of the present study was to evaluate the shear bonding strength of composite to PEKK by applying several methods of surface treatment associated with various bonding materials.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and fifty PEKK specimens were assigned randomly to fifteen groups (n = 10) with the combination of three different surface treatments (95% sulfuric acid etching, airborne abrasion with 50 µm alumina, and airborne abrasion with 110 µm silica-coating alumina) and five different bonding materials (Luxatemp Glaze & Bond, Visio.link, All-Bond Universal, Single Bond Universal, and Monobond Plus with Heliobond).
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze and compare polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) with zirconia and titanium for implant-supported prostheses using 3D finite element analysis based on cone beam computed tomography and CAD data.
- A geometric model featuring four maxillary implants and a prosthesis framework was created to simulate different materials' properties in a controlled environment.
- The findings indicate that while the PEKK framework reduces stress on implants under compression, it can increase stress under tension, suggesting that more rigid materials provide better overall stress distribution and safety for the prosthesis components.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the cumulative survival rate (CSR) and associated risk factors of Implantium implants by retrospective clinical study.
Materials And Methods: Patients who received Implantium implants (Dentium Co., Seoul, Korea) at Korea University Guro Hospital from 2004 to 2011 were included.
Epidemiology of Implant Mortality Disparity Among Intraoral Positions and Prosthesis Types.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants
February 2018
Purpose: To examine the disparity of single-crown implant failure with a similar loss of the splinted prosthesis in differing anatomical locations while controlling for other demographic and clinical variables that may confound the relationship between prosthesis types and implant loss.
Materials And Methods: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was designed to include patients treated with dental implants from 2003 to 2014. The variables included age, sex, systemic disease, bone graft, implant placement date, position of dental implant, length of dental implant, diameter of dental implant, loading time, type of prosthesis, type of opposing occlusion, latest check date, and survival or loss of the dental implant.
Digital impressions can be a useful option that reduces patient discomfort and simplifies clinical procedures such as accurate impression recordings. In this report, a patient with a partial maxillectomy was managed with a metal frame fabricated from a digital impression through an intraoral scanner. The final impression employed the altered cast technique for the fabrication of the obturator.

- The study evaluated the biomechanical behavior and safety of PEKK, a high-performance polymer, as a dental post-core material using finite element analysis (FEA) in comparison to traditional materials like gold and fiberglass.
- A 3D model of a maxillary central incisor was created, and a cyclic loading force of 50 N was applied at a 45° angle to assess the material properties.
- While PEKK demonstrated favorable stress distribution and high resistance to failure, it was found to have a greater risk of debonding and crown failure over time compared to metal or fiberglass post-core systems.
Purpose: This systematic review evaluated treatment outcomes for mandibular mini-implant-retained overdentures (MMIOs) in terms of (1) implant survival rate, (2) peri-implant marginal bone loss, (3) prosthodontic maintenance and complication occurrence, and (4) patient satisfaction.

The most common complication of implant ball attachments is loss of retention via structural wear. Hence, parallel placement of implants was identified as a prerequisite for long-term success. In this case, although severe angulation was formed between implants due to severe alveolar bone resorption, parallel ball attachments on the implants could be fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture.
