Background: Immediately placed/immediately restored dental implants in the esthetic zone are judged by not only their functional success but also the appearance and acceptance of the restorative outcome. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate in a private-practice setting the satisfaction of both patients and doctors regarding immediately placed/immediately restored implants in the esthetic zone.
Methods: The author group consists of nine board-certified periodontists. Each private practice contributed to the patient population of this study through a primarily referral-based source. In a 6-month period, practices evaluated patients who were candidates for dental implant replacement with teeth Nos. 5 through 12 scheduled for extraction. All patients received informed consent and were asked if their data could be used with a visual analog scale (VAS) they graded. Pretreatment and 6-month post-final restoration loading was compared for statistically significant changes in reference to crestal bone changes, papilla index score (PIS), facial gingival margin stability (FGMS), and investigator/patient esthetic evaluations using a VAS.
Results: Thirty-five patients were included in the study with a total of 35 implants placed and 32 restored with a final restoration. Implants were followed for an average of 15.4 months prior to reporting. A total of three failures were encountered. The PIS resulted in an average score of 2.7. VAS resulted in an average score of 9.3 by the surgeons and 9.5 by the patients. The FGMS accounted for 76% of the implants with no change, 15% demonstrating recession, and 9% demonstrating coronal migration.
Conclusions: Immediately placed and immediately temporized implants in the esthetic zone demonstrated a successful outcome that was highly acceptable to patients in private-practice settings from a diverse group of private periodontal practices.

Interdisciplinary Approach to Retreatment of a Full-Mouth Rehabilitation: Horizontal Preparations, Vertical Dimension of Occlusion Increase, and Mucogingival Surgery in a Tetracycline-Stained Dentition.
J Esthet Restor Dent

Analysis of Techniques, Material and Instruments Applied to Digital Dentistry and CAD/CAM Procedures Research Group, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain.
Objective: This case report presents the interdisciplinary retreatment of a patient with a worn full-mouth rehabilitation using defect-oriented restorations, horizontal preparations, and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) increase.
Clinical Considerations: A 58-year-old woman with a previous full-mouth rehabilitation presented with worn dentition, loss of VDO, and reduced posterior support. Examination revealed signs of parafunctional habits, tetracycline-stained teeth, and compromised aesthetics with exposed discolored teeth and open embrasure spaces.
Jawline improvement using patient-specific angle implants with virtual planning in orthognathic surgery.

There has been a recent increase in the global demand for jawline augmentation. Managing angle definition in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery remains challenging owing to the characteristics of classic mandibular osteotomy, which mostly allows sagittal mandibular movements but cannot modify the ramus height. The advent of computer-assisted surgical planning and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing techniques for patient-specific implant fabrication has introduced new methods for jawline management.

Background: Direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction offers immediate aesthetic and psychological benefits, but the role of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) remains debated. Using a multi-institutional database, this study evaluates and compares outcomes between ADM-assisted and non-ADM DTI procedures.
Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2008 to 2022 was queried to identify female patients who underwent DTI breast reconstruction for oncological purposes.

Division of Plastic Surgery, Henry Ford Health, Detroit, MI.
Background: One-stage direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction is increasingly popular with the use of prepectoral reconstruction leading to increased demand for structural scaffolds. It is vital to determine if differences in safety profiles exist among scaffolds.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients in our breast cancer center undergoing DTI reconstruction.
