Titanium dental implants have been used in the treatment of partial or complete edentulism. The height and width of the residual alveolus and surrounding anatomical structures can determine the proper position and path of insertion of dental implants. The following case report describes the treatment of a malpositioned osseo integrated dental implant with an apex perforating the buccal cortex of alveolar bone. A 61-year-old male was referred by his local dentist for the chief complaint of a swelling at site of tooth 14 where an implant was present. Intraoral clinical examination revealed an implant supported porcelain fused to metal crown replacing the maxillary right first premolar. A peri-apical radiograph of the implant revealed no signs of peri-implant bone loss or radiolucency. Surgical exploration and modification of the protruding implant. The area healed uneventfully without the need of explantation of the implant in site of tooth 14. We felt that the conservative treatment provided was prudent and treatment of choice and anticipate that the implant will most likely continue to function for a lifetime.

Brexucabtagene autoleucel (brexu-cel) has revolutionized the treatment of patients affected by mantle cell lymphomas. In this prospective, observational multicentre study, we evaluated 106 patients, with longitudinal brexu-cel kinetics in peripheral blood monitored in 61 of them. Clinical outcomes and toxicities are consistent with previous real-world evidence studies.

Article Synopsis
- Two cases are discussed where titanium implants successfully integrated with calcified bone and dental tissue, along with a review of relevant literature on this topic.
- One case involved a titanium implant extracted from a human patient which showed both dental and bone tissue integration, while another case in an animal model demonstrated simultaneous osseointegration and new dental tissue formation.
- The literature suggests that dental implants can be inserted into areas with impacted teeth as a less invasive treatment, leading to successful integration without needing to extract the teeth, but challenges remain in maintaining the periodontal tissue long-term and ensuring proper functional properties.
Design and evaluation of mechanical strength of multi-material polymeric implants for mandibular reconstruction.

Reconstruction of mandible implants to address segmental abnormalities is still a challenging task, both in vitro and in vivo. The mechanical strength of the materials used is a critical factor that determines how well bone is regenerated. The reconstruction technique of mandibular abnormalities widely uses polymeric implants.

Mandibular defects resulting from oncological treatment pose significant aesthetic and functional challenges due to the involvement of bone and soft tissues. Immediate reconstruction is crucial to address complications such as malocclusion, mandibular deviation, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) changes, and soft tissue retraction. These issues can lead to functional impairments, including difficulties in chewing, swallowing, and speech.

Rectangular Block Implant (RBIs) were manufactured, using computer-aided-design lathe turning, surface roughened with grit blasting and gamma irradiated. Implants were surgically placed into the resorbed edentulous mandibular ridges of both greyhound dogs (ex vivo and in vivo) and humans; the pooled total was 17 placements. The aim was to achieve mechanical stability and full implant submergence without damage to the mandibular canal and without bone fracture: fulfilment of all of these criteria was deemed to be a successful surgical outcome.
