Objectives: To evaluate guided bone regeneration outcomes in defects protected with an in situ formed polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel membrane as compared to a non-cross-linked collagen membrane (CM).
Material And Methods: Four mandibular alveolar ridge defects were created in eight hound dogs. Regenerative procedures were randomly allocated to one of four groups consisting of freeze-dried bone allograft, which is referred to in this study as freeze-dried bone xenograft (FDBX) + PEG, autogenous bone (AB) + PEG, AB + CM, and AB alone. After 8 weeks, titanium dental implants were placed into augmented sites. After 8 weeks of allowed time for osseointegration, the animals were sacrificed to harvest block specimens for bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and ridge width histomorphometric analysis.
Results: Polyethylene glycol membranes had an exposure rate of 50% as compared to 12.5% for sites grafted with CM. Regenerative outcomes with respect to implant placement were least favorable for FDBX + PEG which had implants placed in 37.5% of augmented sites compared to 100% implant placement for all other groups. No statistically significant differences were noted between groups for ridge width measurements in implant and non-implant histologic sections (P > 0.05). Buccal BIC (%) values between treatment groups also failed to reach statistical significant difference (FDBX + PEG [60.2 ± 9.4]; AB + PEG [58.8 ± 8.5]; AB + CM [57.9 ± 12.8]; AB [61.0 ± 10.2]).
Conclusion: When used in conjunction with FDBX, PEG had unpredictable bone formation and in most cases negatively impacted future implant placement.

Unlabelled: Peri-implantitis (PI) is an inflammatory disease that affects supportive tissues around dental implants, and its progression eventually leads to bone loss and implant failure. However, PI effects may be different based on the presence or absence of adjacent teeth.
Objective: To investigate the differences in bone loss and inflammation between implants placed adjacent to a tooth or edentulous area in a ligature-induced PI model.

Placing an implant immediately into extraction sockets provides a distinct advantage over delayed placement, eliminating the need for a 4 to 6 months waiting period for bone formation. However, when patients present with hypothyroidism, the feasibility of immediate placement of dental implants becomes uncertain. This case involved a hypothyroid woman in her late 60s with loose lower anterior teeth.

Objectives: Our goal was to measure the impact of postpartum implant insertion timing on breastfeeding success and duration in a population at high-risk for low milk supply.
Study Design: We conducted a three-armed randomized non-inferiority study of postpartum people who plan to breastfeed and have known risk factors for low milk supply. Participants were randomized to one of three groups for the timing of implant placement: within 30 minutes of placental delivery, 24-72 hours postpartum, or 6+ weeks postpartum.
