Implant dentistry has come a long way since 1981, with great improvements made to achieve primary implant stability and improve bone-to-implant contact. The focus has since shifted toward creating an esthetic restoration that is indistinguishable from natural teeth and is stable over time. This paper proposes a management triad that enhances soft tissue thickness around implant-supported restorations while discussing distinct differences between thin and thick tissue biotypes. In addition, the effect of tissue biotype on implant esthetics is highlighted.

Unlabelled: There are multiple methods for determining Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO), but most of them require scientific validation.
Aim: To study the correlation between mandibular cephalometric measurements and VDO in young Chilean adults with complete dentition and known inclusion criteria, by using modified Knebelman's technique.
Materials And Method: The study population consisted of 96 young Chilean adults aged 18 to 35 years.
Bone Remodeling Around Implants with Different Macro-Design Placed in Post-Extraction Sockets: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial (RCT).

Immediate post-extraction dental implants are increasingly popular, but ensuring primary stability and managing peri-implant tissues remain challenging. Implant macro-design significantly impacts stability and osseointegration. This study used Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to evaluate changes in alveolar bone following immediate placement of two implant designs, System 2P and Dura-Vit 3P, which feature semi-conical microgeometry and apical self-tapping portions for improved stability and bone regeneration.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate perfusion parameters and clinical features of healthy implants and implants affected by peri-implant disease in patients who had undergone microvascular jaw reconstruction.
Methods: A total of 25 patients with 92 implants placed in microvascular transplants were included. Of these, 68 implants showed healthy peri-implant tissue, 12 were affected by peri-implant mucositis, and 12 were diagnosed with peri-implantitis.

Marginal bone loss (MBL) is a crucial marker of implant health. Hence this study was done to assess the amount of height of crestal bone lost surrounding dental implants positioned in different tissue types. Twenty six patients with single edentulous areas were divided into two groups at random with 13 samples in each group .

Orthodontic treatment aims to correct malocclusions and ensure the overall health and stability of the periodontium. The relationship between orthodontic therapy and periodontal health is intricate and multifaceted, and a comprehensive approach is often required to achieve optimal outcomes. Firstly, this article delves into the impact of orthodontic mechanics on periodontal tissues, emphasizing the importance of minimizing iatrogenic effects such as root resorption and gingival recession.
