Water jet with adjunct chlorhexidine gel for nonsurgical treatment of peri-implantitis.

Background: Peri-implant disease following successful integration of an endosseous implant is the result of an imbalance between bacterial load and host defense, which may affect not only the peri-implant mucosa but also involve the supporting bone.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the adjunctive effect of a dental water jet rinse mixed with chlorhexidine gel to the nonsurgical treatment for peri-implantitis.

Method And Materials: A prospective randomized interventional cohort study was conducted.

Novel implant design improves implant survival in multirooted extraction sites: a preclinical pilot study.

Background: The primary aim is to evaluate clinical, radiographic, and histologic parameters of novel implants with "three roots" design that were inserted into fresh multirooted extraction sockets. A secondary aim is to compare this new implant to standard root-form dental implants.

Methods: Immediate implantation of novel or standard design 6 × 6-mm implants was performed bilaterally into multirooted sockets in mandibles of mini-pigs.

The in vivo efficacy of Fluorinex topical fluoridation treatment.

Objective: This randomized, single-controlled study was performed to validate in vivo the efficacy of single Fluorinex treatment by examining fluoride incorporation into enamel using electron microscopy.

Method And Materials: Twenty healthy participants referred for routine dental treatment which also required extractions of at least two teeth as part of their treatment plan were included in this study. For each participant, one randomly selected tooth was extracted and sent for blind electron microscopic fluoride assay (control, C).

Treatment of peri-implantitis using multiple applications of chlorhexidine chips: a double-blind, randomized multi-centre clinical trial.

Background: Universal strategies for managing peri-implantitis are yet to be adopted. The aim of this study is to examine a protocol of intensive application of chlorhexidine containing chips in sites with peri-implantitis.

Materials And Methods: This multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, parallel, two-arm clinical trial included 60 patients (77 implants) with probing depth (PD) 6-10 mm and bone loss ≥2 mm around 1-2 implants.

Novel implant design for initial stability of dental implants inserted in fresh extraction sockets: a preliminary study.

Objectives: To evaluate a novel implant design for immediate implantation. This implant presents a specially designed expanded diameter midcrestal "wing" thread, which is aimed to provide added bone contact for greater insertion torque and primary stability.

Methods: Mandibular premolars were extracted in 2 mongrel dogs, and immediate dental implants were inserted into the fresh extraction sockets.

Dental implants for immediate fixed restoration of partially edentulous patients: a 1-year prospective pilot clinical trial in periodontally susceptible patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival of dental implants in periodontally susceptible patients using immediate loading/restoration (ILR) protocols and the factors that modulate this response.

Methods: Systemically healthy patients who were treated previously for chronic periodontitis and who required implant therapy were recruited. Following data collection, "surgical templates" and provisional fixed restorations were fabricated.
