Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate bone regeneration in dehiscence-type defects at non-submerged and submerged titanium implants with chemically modified (mod) and conventional sandblasted/acid-etched (SLA) surfaces.

Material And Methods: Standardized buccal dehiscence defects were surgically created following implant site preparation in both the upper and lower jaws of 12 beagle dogs. Both types of implants were randomly assigned to either a non-submerged or a submerged healing procedure. After 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks, dissected blocks were processed for histomorphometrical [e.g. new bone height (NBH), per cent linear fill (PLF), percentage of bone to implant contact (BIC-D), area of new bone fill (BF)] and immunohistochemical analysis.

Results: At 8 weeks, non-submerged and submerged SLA implants revealed significantly lower mean NBH (1.1+/-0.8-1.9+/-1.2 mm), PLF (27.7+/-20.3-46.0+/-28.5%), BIC-D (26.8+/-10.4-46.2+/-16.2%), and BF (1.3+/-0.9-3.4+/-2.8 mm(2)) values than respective modSLA implants [NBH (2.6+/-0.8-4.3+/-0.1 mm), PLF (64.2+/-19.4-107.2+/-4.7%), BIC-D (67.5+/-18.8-82.1+/-14.8%), BF (2.9+/-1.0-6.7+/-1.1 mm(2))]. Within modSLA groups, significantly highest BF values were observed at submerged implants.

Conclusion: It was concluded that (i) modSLA titanium surfaces promoted bone regeneration in acute-type buccal dehiscence defects and (ii) a submerged healing procedure improved the outcome of healing additionally.

The cavitation water jet cleaning and coating removal technique represents an innovative sustainable method for cleaning and removing coatings, with the nozzle serving as a crucial component of this technology. Developing an artificially submerged nozzle with a reliable structure and excellent cavitation performance is essential for enhancing cavitation water jets' cleaning and coating removal efficacy in an atmosphere environment (non-submerged state). This study is based on the shear flow cavitation mechanism of an angular nozzle, the resonance principle of an organ pipe, and the jet pump principle.

The self-organizing biological characteristics of vegetation and human activities lead to the disruption of the continuous spatial attributes of natural watersheds, which are significant factors affecting river wetland ecosystems. To clarify the landscape ecological flow characteristics of vegetation patch distribution and fragmentation, this study used the three-dimensional Reynolds stress turbulence model in ANSYS Fluent software. The model considered three vegetation patch coverages under two different submersion states and four fragmentation types of vegetation patches under the same coverage conditions within specific vegetation areas.

Objective: To histomorphometrically determine the effects of hard- and/or soft-tissue augmentation by applying the early implant placement protocol.

Materials And Methods: The distal roots of the maxillary second and third premolars were extracted in 10 mongrel dogs. After 1 month, early implant placement was performed in the distal roots, resulting in buccal dehiscence defects.

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effectiveness of highly concentrated fluoride products and remineralizing products (F-APC) in preventing erosive dental lesions in competitive swimming patients. A total of 48 teeth were extracted, preserved in saline solution and divided into three groups. In G1 (control group), each tooth was half-immersed in chlorinated pool water; in G2 (fluoride-treated group), after being totally immersed in chlorinated water, each tooth had half of its surface treated with a highly concentrated fluoride product once a week; in G3 (remineralization product-treated group), each tooth was totally immersed in chlorinated water and half of its surface was treated with a remineralizing product after each immersion.

Background: In Modern dentistry, the implant is the most popular and desirable management of tooth loss. Traditionally two stage (submerged) or one-stage (non-submerged) system has been added by many investigators. In the present study we evaluated the crestal bone loss during osseointegration phase among the three groups (i.
