Background: The aim of computer-designed surgical templates is to attain higher precision and accuracy of implant placement, particularly for compromised cases.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to show the benefit of a full three-dimensional virtual workflow to guide implant placement in oligodontia cases where treatment is challenging due compromised bone quantity and limited interdental spaces.
Patient And Methods: A full, digitalized workflow was performed for implant placement in two oligodontia patients. Accuracy was assessed by calculating the coordinates of the entry point (shoulder) and apex (tip) as well as the angular deviation of the planned and actual implants.
Results: Implant placement could be well performed with the developed computer-designed templates in oligodontia. Mean shoulder deviation was 1.41 mm (SD 0.55), mean apical deviation was 1.20 mm (SD 0.54) and mean angular deviation was 5.27° (SD 2.51).
Conclusion: Application of computer-designed surgical templates, as described in this technical advanced article, aid in predictable implant placement in oligodontia where bone quantity is scarce and interdental spaces are limited.

Objective: Systematic review of literature on the pre-clinical studies of dental implantation in different models by finding out data about primary stability.
Materials And Methods: PubMed, NCBI, Wiley Online Library, MBPI, Elibrary systems were used for search.
Results: Based on the literature review of the described animal species dogs have the most similar bone structure to humans but their usage is complicated by ethics and law reasons.

Introduction: Dental implants are the most popular alternative to rehabilitation of missing teeth and oro-facial structures. The outcome of such procedures depends on various factors and most-importantly on the osseo-integation with the surrounding bone. The evaluation needs better visualization and evaluation using CBCT anaylsis and determination of HU, using an appropriate software.

Context: Biomaterials such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) have shown to improve healing and osseointegration.
Aims: The aim of this study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate and compare immediate implants placed with and without PRF.
Settings And Design: This prospective and comparative study was conducted among 30 patients in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Govt.

Background: To minimize the risk of impaired osseointegration historically, it has been recommended to insert the implant into the bone (submerged implants) and to allow for submerged healing of 3-6 months in the lower and upper jaw, this conventional technique is advocated. The concept of nonsubmerged healing was introduced in 1988 in which gingival former was placed at the time of implant placement instead of cover screw. The treatment concept of nonsubmerged implant placement enables early implant loading, one surgical procedure only, and a reduced treatment period for the patients.
