Aims: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the effect of two maintenance programmes when treatments were performed every third month from six to 18 months following surgical treatment of peri-implantitis.
Materials And Methods: At the 6-month post-surgical evaluation, 44 subjects were randomized into groups receiving supportive peri-implant treatment either by the use of titanium curettes or chitosan brushes at implants registered with BoP and PPD >3 mm. Follow-up examinations and supportive therapy were performed 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months post-surgically. Clinical and radiographic assessments were made.
Results: The percentage of implants registered with inflammation was high at the 6-month baseline examination (>80% bleeding on probing in both test and control group) and remained high throughout the observation period. Similar observations were made for all clinical parameters, and no significant difference was found between test and control groups.
Conclusions: In the present study, no statistical significant difference was found when supportive peri-implant treatment was performed with either titanium curettes or chitosan brushes. Within the limits of the study, the results might indicate the need of more effective submucosal cleaning procedures following peri-implant surgery.

A 66-year-old woman status post bony lateral orbital decompression for thyroid eye disease presented with recurrent episodes of left lateral canthal edema and erythema, despite repeated courses of oral antibiotics, titanium hardware removal, and repeated exploratory orbitotomies with debridement and curettage. MRI later revealed an intraosseous fluid collection in the left greater sphenoid wing. Another exploratory orbitotomy was performed and an intraosseous abscess was identified.

Introduction: The extensive plaque formation on dental restoratives may contribute to secondary caries or periodontal inflammation. Therefore, it is important to know how different types of dental restoratives may prevent or promote the accumulation of microorganisms. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the oral hygiene and microbial adhesion on the titanium (Ti)-coated stainless steel crown (Ti-coated SSC) and conventional SSC on a primary molar.

Aim: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare, dysplastic condition causing significant disability in the lower limbs. A treatment aims to achieve long-lasting union, prevent limb length discrepancies, and prevent soft tissue lesions. Traditional surgery often yields satisfactory results, but amputation may be proposed in failed cases.

During implant maintenance, preserving a smooth surface on the machined transmucosal abutment is critical to reduce biofilm attachment and colonization. The present study compared the surface roughness and bacterial colonization of machined titanium surfaces after instrumentation with various materials. Forty-four machined grade 23 titanium discs were instrumented with a round polyether ether ketone (PEEK) tip, a plastic curette tip, or a pure titanium curette tip with piezoelectric devices.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate several mechanical and chemical decontamination methods associated with a newly introduced biofilm matrix disruption strategy for biofilm cleaning and preservation of implant surface features.
Materials And Methods: Titanium (Ti) discs were obtained by additive manufacturing. Polymicrobial biofilm-covered Ti disc surfaces were decontaminated with mechanical [Ti curette, Teflon curette, Ti brush, water-air jet device, and Er:YAG laser] or chemical [iodopovidone (PVPI) 0.
