Objectives: Metallic element release during implant placement can lead to mucositis and peri-implantitis. Here, using ex vivo porcine mandibles, the release of metallic elements into the surrounding bone with different material and geometrical designs was quantified.
Methods: Implants from BioHorizons® and Straumann® (Bone level, tapered/cylindrical, 3/4 mm body diameter, Ti-CP4/Ti-6Al-4V/Ti-15Zr) systems were used. Micro computed tomography and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy was used to visualise and quantify metallic elements in bone, following acid digestion. Implant surfaces were examined with scanning electron microscopy and internalization of implant particles by human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and RAW 264.7 macrophages were demonstrated in vitro.
Results: Implants with wider body diameters resulted in higher metallic element release. Ti-6Al-4V implants released significantly more metallic elements in comparison to both Ti-CP4 and Ti-15Zr devices with similar design and dimensions. Tapered Ti-CP4 implants released less compared to those with cylindrical design. Al three types of particles were internalized by HGFs and RAW 264.7.
Significance: Ti-CP4 and Ti-15Zr appear to be more suitable materials, however, further studies are required to elucidate the biological effects of the fine particles and/or metallic species from dental implants. Authors would like to raise the awareness in the dental profession community that careful evaluation of the materials used in dental implants and the potential risks of the individual constituents of any alloy are needed. The potential cytotoxicity of Ti-6Al-4V implant particles should be highlighted. Further investigations on the biological effect of the fine particles or metallic species released from dental implants are also needed.

Aims: Little attention has been paid to patients' perception of function and esthetics with single dental implants. The aim of this study was therefore to describe patient-reported function and esthetic outcomes in single dental implants. A second aim was to study the objective esthetics in single dental implants.

Objectives: This experimental study compared the accuracy of implant insertion using the free-hand (FH) technique, static computer-aided surgery (S-CAIS), or dynamic computer-assisted surgery (D-CAIS) and to evaluate the correlation of learning curves between surgeons' experience and surgical time.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six models were randomly assigned to three groups (FH, n = 12; S-CAIS, n = 12; D-CAIS, n = 12). Each model was planned to receive four implants in the maxillary anterior and posterior regions.

Objectives: To assess the effect of occlusion and implant number/position on stress distribution in Kennedy Class II implant-assisted removable partial denture (IARPD).
Materials And Methods: IARPDs were designed in six models: with one implant (bone level with a platform of 4 mm and length of 10 mm) at the site of (I) canine, (II) between first and second premolars, (III) first molar, (IV) second molar, or two implants at the sites of (V) canine-first molar, and (VI) canine-second molar. A conventional RPD served as control.
