Objective: To compare the ability of three non-glycosylated/rhBMP-2 (BMP-2) delivery systems to induce supracrestal bone.
Material And Methods: Thirty-six custom SLActive dental implants were partially embedded in transverse orientation into the posterior mandibles of 18 adult rabbits with the head of the implant located 3 mm supracrestal. Delivery of BMP-2 (30 μg) from the following materials was studied: (1) Ti implant + BMP-2 with hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated collagen (Col/HA) scaffold, (2) Ti implant with Col/HA infused with PEG hydrogel + BMP-2, or (3) Ti implant with HA/β-TCP/PEG hydrogel scaffold + BMP-2. Scaffolds were secured with a metal "umbrella." Non-BMP-2 contralateral controls were included. MicroCT imaging and histological analysis was performed after 10 weeks to assess new supracrestal bone formation. In vitro BMP-2 release studies were conducted.
Results: All treatment groups displayed new supracrestal bone formation. Ti + BMP-2 with Col/HA (3.0 ± 0.2 mm) and Ti with Col/HA/PEG hydrogel + BMP-2 (2.7 ± 0.4 mm) had significantly greater (P < 0.05) outcomes than without BMP-2. Maximum bone volume occurred in the Ti implant with HA/β-TCP/PEG hydrogel scaffold + BMP-2 group.
Conclusions: The use of an implant system composed of a partially inserted Ti implant, adjacent scaffold and scaffold stabilizer resulted in the formation of new supracrestal bone across all test groups with and without BMP-2. Delivery of BMP-2 directly from the Ti implant increased bone height, BIC and bone volume as compared to no BMP-2 when a Col/HA was used, but did not improve performance of the HA/β-TCP/PEG scaffold.

Wide Restorative Emergence Angle Increases Marginal Bone Loss and Impairs Integrity of the Junctional Epithelium of the Implant Supracrestal Complex: A Preclinical Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the emergence angle of dental implants affects marginal bone loss (MBL) and surrounding soft tissue.
- Six mongrel dogs underwent extractions, and implants were placed with varying emergence angles (20°, 40°, 60°, 80°), followed by monitoring MBL over 24 weeks.
- Results showed that a wider restorative angle led to greater bone loss and negatively impacted the health of the soft tissue around the implants.
Changes in soft tissue dimensions following horizontal guided bone regeneration with a split-thickness flap design - evaluation of 8 cases with a digital method.

Background: Peri-implant soft tissue corrections are often indicated following alveolar ridge augmentation, due to the distortion of the keratinized mucosa at the area of augmentation. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the dimensional soft tissue changes following horizontal guided bone regeneration (GBR) utilizing 3D digital data.
Methods: 8 mandibular surgical sites with horizontal alveolar ridge deficiencies were treated utilizing a resorbable collagen membrane and a split-thickness flap design.

Objectives: The present parallel randomized clinical trial aimed to assess, after a 3-year follow-up period, whether the choice of surgical technique-either manual or guided-and of the operator - non-expert operator or skilled - can affect the stability of peri‑implant marginal bone levels in implants placed 1 mm sub-crestal.
Materials And Methods: Patients received platform-switched implants (Anyridge, MegaGen Implant Co., Gyeongbuk, South Korea) featuring a 5-degree internal conical connection and supporting single screw-retained fixed crowns.

A 65-year-old Caucasian male was referred to an endodontic specialist practice in a private clinic in December 2019 for the management of an asymptomatic, radiolucent lesion located at the cervical level of the distal root of his right lower first molar, noticed during a routine periapical radiograph. After an accurate evaluation with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), the subgingival lesion was diagnosed as a supracrestal external cervical resorption (ECR), with a circumferential spread ⩽90°, confined to dentine without pulp involvement. The lesion was treated with the following sequence: (1) a full flap accessed the ECR, (2) the granulomatous tissue was removed from the root area, (3) the cavity was refreshed and filled with a well-refined and polished resin composite, (4) the flap was sutured at the cemento-enamel junction.
