The efficacy of immediate implant placement in the anterior maxilla with dehiscence in the facial alveolar bone: A case series.

Background: There is no clear evidence that immediate implant placement can be applied to cases with dehiscence in the facial alveolar bone prior to extraction.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of immediate implant placement in the anterior maxilla with facial alveolar bone dehiscence.

Materials And Methods: We super positioned pre- and post-operative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) three-dimensional reconstruction images.

CBCT analysis of the tissue thickness at immediate implant placement with contour augmentation in the maxillary anterior zone: a 1-year prospective clinical study.

Background: Immediate implant placement with simultaneous contour augmentation such as guided bone regeneration (GBR) or connective tissue grafting (CTG) has been widely performed. However, few prospective studies have evaluated both peri-implant bone and soft tissue changes between the preoperative and postoperative periods. The purpose of this study is to quantify the horizontal dimensional changes of the facial bone and soft tissue following immediate implant placement with contour augmentation.

Multivariate analysis of the influence of prosthodontic factors on peri-implant bleeding index and marginal bone level in a molar site: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Peri-implant tissue condition can result from prosthodontic, surgical and bacteriological factors.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of prosthodontic factors on peri-implant tissue.

Materials And Methods: Subjects were 140 patients with 310 implants from Osaka University Dental Hospital.

Evaluation of the effect of keratinized mucosa on peri-implant tissue health using a multivariate analysis.

Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between peri-implant tissue health and the presence of keratinized mucosa (≥ 2 mm) using multivariate analysis.

Methods: A total of 334 dental implants placed in 111 partially edentulous patients (34 males, 77 females) and restored with fixed prostheses were included in this study. The patients were recalled 12-146 months after completion of the prosthodontic treatment.
