Statement Of Problem: The design of a mandibular fixed complete denture can influence periimplant bone loss. However, the design that transfers the greatest stress to the periimplant bone is not well documented.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the stress distribution associated with splinted and nonsplinted implant-supported mandibular fixed complete denture designs.
Material And Methods: Three-dimensional finite element models simulating 6 osseointegrated implants were created in the mandible to support a cobalt-chromium alloy and feldspathic porcelain veneering framework. One model simulated a 1-piece framework, and the other models simulated 2-piece and 3-piece frameworks. Axial and oblique loads were applied to the frameworks.
Results: For all the models, the greatest stress values were recorded in the periimplant bone of posterior implants, with differences between the left and right sides. The axial load transferred greater stress values to the periimplant bone than did the oblique load. The lowest periimplant bone stress values were observed in the 3-piece framework model at all implant locations, with the exception of implants placed in the canine region.
Conclusions: A framework separated into 3 pieces transfers the least stress to the periimplant bone.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of tinidazole (TNZ) combined with minocycline (MINO) on therapeutic effectiveness, bone resorption, and inflammation in peri-implantitis (PI).
Methods: This retrospective study included 96 PI patients admitted between January 2023 and February 2024. Patients were divided into a control group (n = 46) treated with MINO and a research group (n = 50) treated with TNZ plus MINO.

Aim: To propose a modified method for establishing a peri-implantitis murine model, assess the gene expression profile and immune cell infiltration of the gingiva and alveolar bone, and evaluate the transcriptomic similarity between patients with peri-implantitis and the corresponding murine model.
Materials And Methods: A ligature-induced peri-implantitis murine model was established using an immediate implant placement approach. RNA sequencing was performed to determine the transcriptomic profiles of peri-implant tissues from mice, patients with peri-implantitis and healthy individuals.

Case: A 49-year-old gentleman sustained a closed, right tibia peri-implant fracture with a bent intramedullary nail. This resulted in a 17° valgus and 5° recurvatum deformity with fracture at the distal third of the tibial shaft. The patient underwent closed manipulation with an F-Tool and was reviewed by our unit over the following year.

Background: Anatomically formed healing abutments were suggested in literature to address many of the issues associated with immediate posterior implant insertion such as large extraction sockets that are extremely hard to seal without reflecting the mucoperiosteal flap, extraction sockets anatomy that are not suitable for regular healing abutment placement, and potentially high occlusal stresses when planning a temporary implant supported prothesis to improve the conditioning of supra implant tissue architecture and the emergence profile of the implant supported restorations.
Purpose: To clinically evaluate the peri-implant soft tissue profile of single posterior implant retained restorations and to assess patient related outcomes of the implant restorations that were conditioned immediately by CAD-CAM socket sealing abutments (SSA) versus those conditioned by Titanium (Ti) standard healing abutments (SHA).
Methods: Twenty participants received twenty-two single maxillary immediate implants after flapless minimally invasive tooth extraction and 3D guided implant placement in the posterior area (premolar and molar) and allocated randomly into two groups (n = 11), the intervention group: patients received PEEK SSA and the control group: the patients received Ti SHA.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the biomechanics of implant prostheses and peri-implant bone among 6 different mandibular reconstruction models based on patient data involving the use of an upper free-end double-barrel fibula.
Methods: This study was an observational study. Five models were reconstructed using fibular-supported and implant-supported partial dentures.
