Single-Tooth Immediate Placement and Provisionalization with Subcrestally Angulated Implants in Sites with Hard and Soft Tissue Facial Dehiscence in the Esthetic Zone: An Observational Study with 2 to 5 Years of Follow-up.

This study evaluated the survival and esthetic outcome of flapless postextraction placement and provisionalization in compromised single tooth sites in the esthetic area. Ten patients were included in the study, and 10 subcrestally angled (SCA) tapered implants were placed. Only maxillary central or lateral incisors and canines were included.

Dento-alveolar measurements and histomorphometric parameters of maxillary and mandibular first molars, using micro-CT.

Background: Micro-CT is a high-resolution, non-invasive, and non-destructive imaging technique, currently acknowledged as a gold standard modality for assessing quantitatively and objectively dental morphology and bone microarchitecture parameters.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze critical dental and periodontal measurements characterizing the mandibular (MandFM) and maxillary (MaxFM) first molar architecture, as well as the corresponding bony socket, using micro-CT.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight human dried skulls (22-76 years) were scanned to enable the virtual analysis of 61 first molars.
