AI Article Synopsis

  • The study compared the OsseoSpeed control implant with a modified version called OsseoSpeed TX, focusing on marginal bone levels and implant survival after one year.
  • A total of 92 subjects received either implant type in a randomized controlled trial, and both groups showed similar bone level alterations and cumulative survival rates.
  • The findings indicated that the design change did not significantly impact the clinical outcomes, though some variability in data may have affected results.

Article Abstract

Unlabelled: The design of the commercially available implant OsseoSpeed (control) was changed to a tapered apex with a smaller apical diameter; OsseoSpeed TX (test).

Objective: The present study evaluated the clinical outcome of marginal bone level as primary outcome, and cumulative implant survival rate, primary stability and condition of the peri-implant mucosa as secondary outcomes, one year after loading.

Material And Methods: 92 subjects (150 implants, ten centres), with partially or totally edentate maxillae were randomized to receive either test or control implants. One to six implants were placed in each subject using a one-stage surgical procedure. Subjects received a permanent prosthesis 10-12 weeks after implant placement and were followed for one year.

Results: 47 subjects in the test group received 82 implants and 45 subjects in the control group received 68 implants. Marginal bone level alterations from loading to 1-year follow-up was -0.02 × 0.41 mm (mean × SD) and -0.03 × 0.38 mm (mean × SD) for the test and the control group, respectively, indicating no difference between the groups. Non-inferiority was declared as confidence interval for the difference between control and test implants was no worse than 0.5 mm. The CSR was 98.8% in the test group and 100% in the control group, with no statistically significant difference between the groups.

Conclusions: Change of the apical design of a commercially available implant showed no significant effect on marginal bone level and CSR compared to the control implant. Missing data and many investigators may have influenced on the result. NCT01324778.

Background: A comprehensive investigation to associate the use of polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid with bovine bone in maxillary sinus lift procedures in rabbits has not been performed yet. The aim was to evaluate the influence of this novel association on the processes of bone regeneration in maxillary sinus augmentation.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized, within-animal model, maxillary sinus augmentation was performed bilaterally in 12 rabbits.

(1) Background: A free gingival graft (FGG) is a common technique used to reconstruct or enhance the area of keratinized mucosa, while a connective tissue graft (CTG) is utilized to boost soft tissue thickness, thereby promoting stability in interproximal marginal bone levels. Most reported complications following FGG procedure are associated with the donor site. In addition to a painful, open wound in the palate, the most frequent complications linked to FGG harvesting include excessive bleeding, postoperative bone exposure, and recurrent herpes lesions.

Introduction: In recent years, erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) and erbium, chromium/yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) lasers have been introduced as another possibility to perform less-invasive flapless (FL) crown-lengthening (CL) procedures.

Objectives: The aim of this review is to describe the outcomes and complications of this approach.

Materials And Methods: A literature review was conducted to retrieve clinical studies and case reports that analyze different variables related to laser-assisted flapless crown lengthening and report their outcomes in terms of gingival margin level stability (GMLS), and postoperative complications.

Background: Although there are many works analyzing the clinical behavior of immediate loading of implants inserted by guided surgery, the literature referring specifically to elderly patients is scarce. The aim of this investigation is to present the clinical outcomes of immediate loading of implants inserted by guided surgery in geriatric patients with edentulous maxilla.

Material And Methods: The clinical data of 20 elderly patients with edentulous jaws are analyzed retrospectively.

Introduction: Bone remodeling around implants in implant-supported rehabilitation is a continuous debate with no consensus in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the implant- and patient-specific factors contributing to marginal bone loss near the implant.

Materials And Methods: We included patients who had implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation using one implant system, between 2014 and 2018, who had full follow-up documentation and orthopantomography over five years, and who had no unwell-controlled systemic pathologies that may influence bone metabolism.
