Objectives: To provide an overview about the current approaches to prevent peri-implant diseases in edentulous patients with complete-arch implant-supported prostheses, and to review the clinical applications of the latest digital technologies for implant prosthodontics.

Methods: A review of the guidelines to prevent peri-implant diseases in patient's receiving complete-arch implant-supported prostheses including facially driven treatment planning procedures using either conventional or digital methods, computer-aided implant planning procedures, and prosthodontic design variables including the optimal number and distribution of dental implants, implant to abutment connection type, implant or abutment level design, screw- or cement-retained alternatives, prostheses contours, and material selection is provided. Furthermore, an outline of the current therapeutic management approaches to address peri-implant diseases is reviewed.

Conclusions: Clinicians should understand and know different planning and design-related variables that can affect biological and mechanical complication rates of complete-arch implant-supported prostheses. Maintenance protocols are fundamental for minimizing biological and mechanical complications.

Background: Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, are inflammatory conditions caused by biofilms that can lead to the loss of surrounding soft tissues and bone. The most effective treatment involves non-surgical mechanical debridement to remove plaque, but other treatment modalities have shown limited success. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of atorvastatin (ATV) gel as an additional treatment for peri-implant mucositis.

Multi-Functional Bio-HJzyme Engineered Polyetheretherketone Implant with Cascade-Amplification Therapeutic Capabilities Toward Intractable Implant-Associated Infections.

Small

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases, School of Chemical Engineering, National Center for Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, China.

Intractable implant-associated infections (IAIs) are the primary cause of prosthetic implant failure, particularly in the context of diabetes mellitus. There is an urgent need to design and construct versatile engineered implants integrated with cascade amplification therapeutic modality to significantly improve the treatment of diabetic IAIs. To address this issue, a multi-functional MXene/AgPO@glucose oxidase bio-heterojunction enzyme (M/A@GOx bio-HJzyme) coating is developed, which is decorated with an inert sulfonated polyetheretherketone implant (SP-M/A@G) via hydrothermal treatment and layered deposition.

Role of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy for the management of peri-implant diseases among habitual nicotinic product users: A systematic review.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther

December 2024

Department of Periodontics and Community Dentistry, College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Electronic address:

Objective: The objective was to systematically review original studies that assessed the influence of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) for managing peri-implant diseases among habitual nicotinic product (NP) users.

Methods: The research question was "Is aPDT effective for managing peri-implant diseases among NP users?" Indexed databases (PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and ISI Web of Knowledge) and Google Scholar were searched up to and including December 2024 without time and language barriers. Using Boolean operators, the following keywords were searched in different combinations: antimicrobial photodynamic therapy; crestal bone loss; peri-implant diseases; probing depth; nicotine; and smoking.

Background and objective Applying different hygiene tools for implant maintenance alters surface configurations, impacting bacterial adhesion on titanium implant surfaces and potentially leading to peri-implant diseases. This study aimed to assess the alterations in surface topography of titanium implant fixtures after utilizing hygiene instruments such as airflow; erbium, chromium-doped: yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet (Er, Cr: YSGG) laser; and titanium brush, under scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation. Materials and methods We employed an experimental laboratory study design for this research, involving 20 MegaGen ST titanium implant fixtures (MegaGen Implant Co.
