Objectives: The aim was to test whether or not the marginal bone-level alterations of loaded zirconia implants are similar to the bone-level alterations of a grade 4 titanium one-piece dental implant.
Materials And Methods: In six dogs, all premolars and the first molars were extracted in the mandible. Four months later, three zirconia implants (BPI, VC, ZD) and a control titanium one-piece (STM) implant were randomly placed in each hemimandible and left for transmucosal healing (baseline). Six months later, CAD/CAM crowns were cemented. Sacrifice was scheduled at 6-month postloading. Digital X-rays were taken at implant placement, crowns insertion, and sacrifice. Marginal bone-level alterations were calculated, and intra- and intergroup comparisons performed adjusted by confounding factors.
Results: Implants were successfully placed. Until crown insertion, two implants were fractured (one VC, one ZD). At sacrifice, 5 more implants were (partly) fractured (one BPI, four ZD), and one lost osseointegration (VC). No decementation of crowns occurred. All implant systems demonstrated a statistically significant (except VC) loss of marginal bone between baseline and crown insertion ranging from 0.29 mm (VC; P = 0.116) to 0.80 mm (ZD; P = 0.013). The estimated marginal bone loss between baseline and 6 months of loading ranged between 0.19 mm (BPI) and 1.11 mm (VC), being statistically significant for STM and VC only (P < 0.05). The changes in marginal bone levels were statistically significantly different between zirconia implants and control implants (STM vs. BPI P = 0.007; vs. VC P = 0.001; vs. ZD P = 0.011).
Conclusions: Zirconia implants were more prone to fracture prior to and after loading with implant-supported crowns compared to titanium implants. Individual differences and variability in the extent of the bone-level changes during the 12-month study period were found between the different implant types and materials.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBMC) combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) on facial alveolar bone augmentation in the anterior maxillary region.
Materials And Methods: Patients receiving dental implant placement with simultaneous lateral bone augmentation using DBBM (control group) or DBBMC combined with DBBM (test group) were included in the study. The radiographic assessment of facial alveolar bone, such as facial horizontal bone thickness (FHBT), facial vertical bone level (FVBL), and square of facial bone (SFB), was taken by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Sterilization is required for any biomedical device intended to be used in contact with the human body. Several studies have reported alterations in the bulk and surface properties of such devices after repeated sterilization cycles. These surface modifications may influence other clinical parameters.

Article Synopsis
- This systematic review analyzed randomized controlled trials to assess how effective antibiotic therapy (both local and systemic) is in treating peri-implantitis, a dental condition affecting dental implants.
- The analysis included seven studies with 309 patients and found that patients receiving antibiotics had significant improvements in probing pocket depth (PPD) but saw no major changes in bone level (BL) or clinical attachment level (CAL).
- While antibiotics showed potential benefits in improving PPD and survival rates, the study highlights the importance of clinical judgment due to limitations such as the lack of new technologies in control groups and the need to consider risks associated with antibiotic use.

Background: Dental implants made of zirconia (ZrO) are a potential alternative for titanium implants in dentistry because of their good biocompatibility, mechanical properties and excellent aesthetic results. However, solid long-term scientific data to prove clinical success of ZrO implants are scarce.
Aim: The aim of this study was to describe and to examine the clinical performance of custom-made two-piece ZrO implants, to identify possible influencing factors: a) manipulation of the implant after placement and b) the occlusal scheme on the survival rate, and to evaluate the performance of the implant-supported crown.

Background: The current trial evaluated the midfacial gingival margin changes, volumetric, radiographic and clinical alterations 1-year following immediate implant placement with customized healing abutment (IIP + CHA) either solely, or in combination with xenograft (IIP + Bonegraft) or with connective tissue grafting (IIP + CTG) at sites with thin labial bone in the esthetic zone.
Methods: Thirty-nine non-restorable maxillary teeth indicated for extraction in the esthetic zone were included. Participants were randomly assigned into three equal group; IIP + Bonegraft (Control), IIP + CTG and IIP + CHA.
