Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes as well as related factors of dental implants replaced in previously failed sites.
Methods: A total of 12 patients (15 implants) who received replacement in previously failed sites during January 2005 to December 2011 were included. Outcomes of redo-implants were collected and clinical data was recorded and analyzed regarding risk factors related to redo-implants' survival using SPSS13.0 software package.
Results: The survival rate of redo-implants was 100% [(33.5±15.4) months]. The mean redo-implant diameter (4.5±0.6) mm was significantly larger than the previous one (4.1±0.7) mm (P<0.05). The mean survival time of implants placed for the first time was (12.9±15.9) months. Implant replacement occurred (6.8±4.4) months after original implant removal. No significant influence was observed on patient and implant-related factors as well as surgery and prosthesis-dependent factors.
Conclusions: Reimplantation in previously failed site is considered as one of feasible prosthesis plans, and surgeons ought to get enough confidence to achieve satisfactory implant survival rates.

Nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) is distinguished by its exceptional biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability, qualities attributed to its similarity to the mineral component of human bone. This review discusses the synthesis techniques of nHA, highlighting how these methods shape its physicochemical attributes and, in turn, its utility in biomedical applications. The versatility of nHA is further enhanced by doping with biologically significant ions like magnesium or zinc, which can improve its bioactivity and confer therapeutic properties.

The Strip Gingival Graft (SGG) technique, which involved an apically positioned flap (APF), in combination with an autogenous SGG and a xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM), demonstrated its efficacy in re-establishing an adequate amount of KM width at implant sites. Nevertheless, it is still unclear whether harvesting the SGG from the palate (pSGG) or from the buccal aspect of natural dentition (bSGG) affects the esthetic outcomes at the augmented implant sites.

Simultaneously Modified Onlay Soft Tissue Graft and Apically Positioned Flap for Implant Phenotype Modification: A Case Series.

Bone augmentation procedures often leads to coronal displacement of the mucogingival junction, a deficiency of keratinized mucosa, and a reduction in soft tissue height. These challenges complicate the achievement of an ideal peri-implant phenotype. It is known that addressing both the quantity and quality of soft tissue is crucial for the long-term success and aesthetics of implants.
