Objective: Evaluate the peri-implant status on the long-term (1-9years) of patients treated with immediately-loaded full-arch prostheses in a private practice.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out in patients consecutively treated with immediately loaded full-arch restorations supported with a minimum of 4 implants (Replace Tapered, Nobel Biocare AB) and Multi-Unit conical abutments (MUA, Nobel Biocare AB) with a follow-up of over 12months after placement of the final prosthesis.

Results: A total of 378 implants were placed in 56 patients. Forty upper and 32 lower arches were restored, and 16 patients received bimaxillary rehabilitation. The mean duration of follow-up was 50 months, and the implant and patient peri-implantitis prevalences were 14.3% and 50%, respectively. Mucositis affected 56.9% of the implants and 50% of the patients. The survival rate was 96.4% by patient, but reached 99.5% in the implant-based analysis, and the success rate was 95.5% for implants and 80.4% for patients.

Conclusions: Immediately-loaded full-arch restorations have an acceptable outcome after 1-9years of follow-up. However, the incidence of peri-implant diseases is high, and further research is needed to confirm whether these may compromise the predictability of the prostheses over the long-term.

Clinical Significance: After a mean follow-up of 50months, the incidence of mucositis and peri-implantitis affected the 96.4% and 50% of patients, respectively. However, these results were reduced almost by half when the threshold of bleeding on probing and peri-implant bone loss applied was less strict.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Active MMP-8 Point-of-Care Test in Peri-Implantitis.

Eur J Dent

December 2024

Department of Periodontology and Implant Biology, School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece.

Aim:  This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the active matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) quantitative chairside point-of-care (PoC) lateral flow immunotest for peri-implant diseases, and it sought to correlate aMMP-8 levels with clinical parameters to determine its effectiveness as a biomarker for peri-implantitis.

Materials And Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Periodontology and Implant Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Participants included systemically healthy individuals with at least one implant loaded for more than 1 year, who had not received periodontal treatment or antibiotics in the preceding 6 months.

Objectives: Limited research is available on implant treatment outcomes in rural populations. This may be due to the presence of various barriers, such as access to oral health care, resources, health literacy, and education. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of patient-, site-, and implant-related factors on marginal bone levels of dental implants in a rural population in China.

Aim: Birth order, sibship size, breastfeeding, daycare attendance, and delivery method are known to influence the development of gut microbiota and the immune system, affecting the risk of many infectious diseases. This study aims to explore the impact of these factors, along with socioeconomic background and familial factors, on gingivitis and oral hygiene practices in early adulthood among the Turkish population.

Materials And Methods: Patients were diagnosed using periodontal clinical and radiographic assessments, adhering to the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions.

Objectives: This retrospective study analyzed zygomatic implant (ZI) survival and implant success (based on ORIS criteria) in patients treated for maxilla atrophy or after reconstruction failure.

Material And Methods: Implants were placed as quads (4 ZIs) or hybrids (ZIs and conventional implants in premaxilla) in edentulous patients using various surgical approaches, evolving from the sinus slot to Chow's extended sinus lift technique with or without Bichat fat pad. The procedure was followed by immediate loading, while clinical and radiographic evaluations spanned at least 1 year after implantation.

Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (PI-MRONJ) in patients using anti-resorptive drugs (ARDs) on different implant position, inclinations, and types of prosthesis.

Methods: The data of 75 patients with bone necrosis that progressed around the implant between 2018 and 2022 were retrospectively examined to identify the factors influencing PI-MRONJ. Data, including patient demographics (age, sex, smoking status, concomitant disease, time of ARD therapy, dose of ARDs, and parafunctional habits) and implant-specific information (type of prosthesis, angle of insertion), were extracted from medical and dental records.
