Marginal changes at bone-level implants supporting dental prostheses with or without intermediate standardised abutments after 36 months: Randomised controlled clinical trial.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the changes at marginal bone level at implants restored with screw-retained prosthesis connected directly to the implants or with an intermediate abutment, after 3-year follow-up.

Material And Methods: Thirty-six partially edentulous patients received 72 implants. Each patient received 2 implants and a 2-4-unit screw-retained implant-prosthesis.

Marginal changes at bone-level implants supporting fixed screw-retained partial implant prostheses with or without intermediate standardised abutments: 1-year results of a randomised controlled clinical trial.

Objective: To compare marginal changes at bone-level implants restored with screw-retained implant prosthesis with or without intermediate standardised abutments, after 1 year of follow-up.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six partially edentulous patients received 72 implants. Each patient received 2 implants and a 2- to 4-unit screw-retained implant-prosthesis.

Clinical and esthetic outcomes of immediate implant placement compared to alveolar ridge preservation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of immediate implant placement (IIP) compared to implants placed after alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in terms of clinical, esthetic, and patient-reported outcomes.

Methods: A manual and electronic search (National Library of Medicine) was performed for controlled clinical trials, with at least 12 months of follow-up. Primary outcome variable was implant survival and secondary outcomes were marginal bone level (MBL) (change), pink esthetic score (PES), mid-facial mucosal level (change), papilla index score, complications, and patient-reported outcomes.

Titanium vs ceramic single dental implants in the anterior maxilla: A 12-month randomized clinical trial.

Objective: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare ceramic and titanium implants with respect to the esthetic and clinical parameters, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Material And Methods: Thirty patients received thirty implants (8-12 mm in length, 3.3 mm diameter, and a tissue level design) to replace single teeth in the anterior maxilla.

Subepithelial connective tissue graft in combination with a coronally advanced flap for the treatment of Miller Class II and III gingival recessions in mandibular incisors: a case series.

Limited evidence is available regarding the effect of the subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) on root coverage in the mandibular anterior region. A technique is described using an SCTG with a coronally advanced flap (CAF) for the treatment of Miller Class II and III gingival recessions in mandibular central incisors. Fourteen Miller Class II and III recessions were treated in 10 patients using an SCTG with a CAF.

Vertical and horizontal ridge alterations after tooth extraction in the dog: flap vs. flapless surgery.

Objective: To compare ridge alterations after flap and flapless tooth extraction in the vertical and horizontal dimension in the dog model.

Material And Methods: This study was carried out on five Beagle dogs. Four extractions were performed in the lower jaw of each dog (two per side.
