Objectives: To present our experience treating patients who have undergone dental implantation under no change in their constant anticoagulant treatment.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study on patients who have undergone dental implantation. The study group consisted of patients under oral anticoagulants for at least 6 months before dental implantation. The control group was consisted of healthy patients with no oral anticoagulant treatment. Bleeding events were recorded and treated during the first 2 weeks postoperatively.
Results: A total of 193 patients were included in the study. Seventy-two of them who were under anticoagulants served as a study group and the rest (121 patients) served as a control group. Mean age: 65 years old in the study group and 59 years old in the control group. Gender: male to female ratio was higher in the study group and lower in the control group. Four patients in the study group and 7 patients in the control group presented postoperative bleeding and were treated successfully by additional local hemostasis methods.
Conclusion: With the limitation of this study, it can be concluded that patients under oral anticoagulant treatment can undergo dental implantation safely. Bleeding events are rare and can be controlled by local hemostasis.
Clinical Relevance: Prior to dental implant insertion, patients under oral anticoagulants can continue their constant medical treatment. The procedure can be performed on outpatient basis under local hemostasis.

Unlabelled: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is an alternative treatment for craniofacial bone defects reconstruction through membrane barrier adaptation, such as demineralized dentin material membrane (DDMM). DDMM is used as a substitute for GBR material, which aligns with Green Economy principles, it has a good biological osteoinductive and osteoconductive effects, and its structure resembles bones. The balance of bone remodeling when experiencing craniofacial defects will be altered and allow changes to resorption activity, so the mechanisms of osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption are vital.

Aim: Calcium silicate-based cements have been widely used in dentistry mainly due to their physicochemical and biological properties. Commercially available materials use radiopacifiers containing metals (bismuth, tantalum, tungsten and/or zirconium). To investigate volumetric changes, in vivo biocompatibility and systemic migration from eight commercially available materials, including powder/liquid and 'ready-to-use' presentations.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBMC) combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) on facial alveolar bone augmentation in the anterior maxillary region.
Materials And Methods: Patients receiving dental implant placement with simultaneous lateral bone augmentation using DBBM (control group) or DBBMC combined with DBBM (test group) were included in the study. The radiographic assessment of facial alveolar bone, such as facial horizontal bone thickness (FHBT), facial vertical bone level (FVBL), and square of facial bone (SFB), was taken by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Purpose: Bone expansion is one of the quickest, simplest, and most reliable methods of alveolar ridge augmentation for implant placement. This systematic review is designed to investigate the outcomes of the bone expansion technique for horizontal ridge augmentation.
Methods: The protocol of study has been prospectively registered into PROSPERO (CRD42023414686).

Zinc (Zn) and its alloys are promising biomaterials for orthopedic applications due to their degradability and mechanical properties. Zn plays a crucial role in bone formation, but excessive early release may cause cytotoxicity and inhibit osseointegration. To solve this, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) light-controlled polycaprolactone/copper-sulfur (PCL/CuS) coating that slows degradation and enhances osseointegration of Zn alloys.
