Article Abstract
Objectives: The mechanisms involved in the initiation and progression of peri-implantitis lesions are poorly understood. It was the aim to determine the content and activation status of macrophages present in human peri-implantitis lesions and compare the current findings with the macrophage polarization associated with periodontitis lesions.
Material And Methods: A total of 14 patients were studied in this investigation. Seven were soft tissue biopsies from dental implants affected by peri-implantitis that required explantation. Seven biopsies were from chronic periodontal disease. Immunofluorescence stains were performed using biomarkers to identify macrophages (CD68 ) undergoing M1 polarization (iNOS ) and M2 polarization (CD206 ), along with Hoechst 33,342 to identify DNA content. All samples were stained and photographed, and double-positive cells for CD68 and iNOS or CD68 and CD206 were quantified.
Results: All peri-implantitis biopsies examined revealed a mixed population of macrophages undergoing M1 polarization and M2 polarization. Further analysis demonstrated the co-expression of iNOS and CD206, which indicates the presence of a heterogenic immune response on peri-implantitis lesions. Macrophage polarization in peri-implantitis lesions presents a distinct pattern than in periodontitis. We observed a significant increase in the population of M1 macrophages on peri-implantitis samples compared to periodontal disease samples.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that peri-implantitis has higher numbers of macrophages displaying a distinct macrophage M1 polarization signature compared to periodontitis lesions. This pattern may explain, in part, the distinct nature of peri-implantitis progression vs. periodontitis in humans.

Periodontal and peri-implant diseases are primarily biofilm-induced pathologies in susceptible hosts affecting the periodontium and dental implants. Differences in disease susceptibility, severity, and patterns of progression have been attributed to immune regulatory mechanisms such as epigenetics. DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic mechanism governing gene expression that plays pivotal roles in genomic imprinting, chromosomal stability, apoptosis, and aging.

Case Presentation: Although most peri-implant lesions feature a combined defect configuration that involves both supra- and infraosseous components, regenerating the supraosseous part is considered the optimal approach, albeit a challenging one, and often requires vertical bone augmentation. This report provides a detailed description of submerged membrane techniques for vertical bone augmentation around supraosseous peri-implant defects. Cases involving different types of membrane (both resorbable and non-resorbable) with or without the use of bone graft are presented.

Purpose: To review the current literature to answer the focused question: in the experimental pig model (population), which types of peri-implant bone defects (exposure) have been used evaluate different modes of therapy and what is their capacity for spontaneous healing and regeneration (outcome)?
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, electronic databases were searched for studies reporting peri-implant bone defects in the maxillae or mandibles of pigs. Those studies which reported a control group of untreated defects with assessment of spontaneous regeneration [new bone area (BA)] and/or re-osseointegration [new bone-to-implant contact (BIC)] via quantitative radiography or histomorphometry were included in a random effects meta-analysis for the outcomes BA and BIC.
Results: Overall, 21 studies, mostly performed in the mandibles of minipigs, were included.

Article Synopsis
- The text reviews retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI), a specific type of dental inflammation that starts at the base of an implant and can cause implant failure, highlighting its growing significance in the field of implantology.
- Factors such as untreated dental issues from nearby teeth are key contributors to the development of RPI.
- The paper emphasizes the need for improved evaluation and management of these dental issues by clinicians, promoting new research and treatment methods to enhance prevention and diagnosis of RPI.
Impact of Specialized Pro-Resolving Lipid Mediators on Craniofacial and Alveolar Bone Regeneration: Scoping Review.

Article Synopsis
- - Craniofacial and alveolar bone defects from various causes (like tumors, trauma, or tooth loss) present significant challenges in tissue engineering and dental surgery, especially in cases of periodontal disease.
- - Specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) like lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins are being researched for their potential to enhance bone regeneration and restore tissue healing in craniofacial applications.
- - A total of 19 pre-clinical studies examined the effects of SPMs on bone regeneration, showing that SPMs notably increased new bone formation by about 14.85% and reduced defect size, with RvE1 and RvD2 demonstrating
