Dental biomechanics is an interdisciplinary study wherein engineering principles are used for the better understanding of clinical dentistry. The present biomechanical study was done to understand the mechanism by which an endodontic implant transmits occlusal forces to the surrounding bone. In this experimental study, photoelastic techniques were utilized to compare stress distribution patterns in the supporting bone of an intact tooth, a tooth with supporting bone loss, and a tooth stabilized using an endodontic endosseous implant. It was concluded that there were distinct variations in the biomechanics underlying various dental clinical conditions. Further, the implant did not appear to improve the stress distribution.

Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional prospective study was to evaluate the bone density changes around the bicortical corticobasal implant placed in the maxilla over 18 months of follow-up using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), focusing on the comparison between the anterior and posterior teeth and regions.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-five subjects (20, 53.26%, were males, and 15, 46.

Bone grafting with simultaneous implant placement using the novel bone ring technique was a procedure introduced with the intention of three-dimensional bone augmentation with simultaneous implant placement in both maxilla and mandible. A ring-shaped bone is placed in the socket, which is secured by an implant placed through the ring. The current narrative review was planned to provide a concise summary of the core concepts surrounding bone augmentation, to provide context for understanding the bone ring technique, and to highlight the basics of bone grafting and the origin of the technique to its advancement and its importance in the light of current literature.

Background: This study compared titanium and zirconia implant ligature-induced peri-implant defect progression and response to regenerative surgical intervention.
Methods: Eight tissue-level endosseous implants were placed in 6 mixed-breed foxhounds, with 2 zirconia and 2 titanium alternating in each hemimandible. Cotton ligatures were placed subgingivally for 16 weeks followed by 8 weeks of spontaneous progression.

Statement Of Problem: The development of robotic computer assisted implant surgery (r-CAIS) offers advantages, but how the positional accuracy of r-CAIS compares with other forms of guided implant surgery remains unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the positional accuracy of r-CAIS and to compare the positional accuracy of r-CAIS with s-CAIS and d-CAIS.
Material And Methods: Five databases were systematically searched by 2 independent reviewers for articles published before May 2023.

Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to verify the accuracy of linear measurements performed on low-dose CBCT protocols for implant planning, in comparison with those performed on standard and high-resolution CBCT protocols.
Methods: The literature search included four databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus). Two reviewers independently screened titles/abstracts and full texts according to eligibility criteria, extracted the data, and examined the methodological quality.
