Objective: The aim was to compare the inflammatory response in peri-implant mucosa between patients with peri-implantitis (PP-group) and patients with healthy peri-implant tissues (HP-group).
Materials And Methods: Two fragments of peri-implant mucosa of 18 patients were collected and serial sections were performed for histological and immunohistochemical analysis.
Results: When compared with HP-group, PP-group showed higher immunostained cell density for TGF-β, IL-17 and CD31, beyond greater density of red cells, leukocytes, mast cells chymase (MCC) and mast cell tryptase (MCT). HP-group patients showed higher IL-13 expression and increased amount of collagen fibres when compared with PP-group. In PP-group there was significant positive correlation between MCT density and density of blood vessels immunostained, and between MCC density and density of blood vessels immunostained. There was significant negative correlation between the IL-17 density and collagen percentage.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that in patients with peri-implantitis there was higher of TGF-β and IL-17, indicating that these cytokines are directly involved in the inflammatory process. Thus, understanding the influence of cytokines in the peri-implantitis installation, new therapies could be developed in order to inhibit the synthesis of IL-17 and induce synthesis of IL-13 in peri-implant tissue, contributing to increase the longevity of the implant.

The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare a non-grafted socket shield technique (SST) with simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) in immediate implant placement in terms of clinical, aesthetic, and radiographic parameters. Patients with an unrestorable tooth in the maxillary aesthetic region were included. The patients were randomized to SST and GBR groups.

Objectives: Variations in transmucosal abutment contour design may affect the outcomes of implant therapy. This randomized controlled trial was primarily aimed at testing the effect that CAD/CAM zirconia abutments with either a concave or linear divergent transmucosal morphology have on peri-implant mucosal dynamics and indicators of peri-implant health at 1 year after final implant-supported prosthesis insertion in the anterior maxilla.
Materials And Methods: Following computer-guided implant placement and osseointegration, eligible subjects were randomized into either the experimental (concave morphology) or the control (linear divergent morphology) group.

Private Practice, Faridabad, Haryana, India.
Background: Type I immediate implant placement has its own advantages like reduced treatment time, number of surgeries and post-extraction bone loss, however, the presence of insufficiently keratinized mucosa poses a challenge for flap adaptation and hinders the achievement of primary stability. Additionally, scientific evidence supports the notion that post-extraction bone loss is a natural biological occurrence that can impact the success of treatments.
Objectives: The primary outcome was to find out the hard and soft tissues changes around the implant following immediate placement and immediate loading.

Two-dimensional (2D) culture models and animal experiments have been widely used to study the pathogenesis of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and to test new treatment approaches. However, neither of them can reproduce the complexity of human periodontal tissues, making the development of a successful 3D oral mucosal model a necessity. The soft-tissue attachment formed around a tooth or an implant function like a biologic seal, protecting the deeper tissues from bacterial infection.

Introduction: Using mini implants as transitional implants (TIs) for complete arch implant-supported rehabilitations may overcome limitations associated with mucosa-supported surgical guides and facilitate immediate fixed provisionalization. This study aimed to assess the success of TIs in supporting surgical guides for implant placement and fixed provisional prostheses.
Methods: Patients who received TIs between 2012 and 2023 for a complete arch implant-supported prosthesis were evaluated retrospectively.
