Purpose: To evaluate the safety and performance of a potential novel strategy to resolve the above scenario by simultaneously performing implant-related surgery and endodontic microsurgery (EMS).

Materials And Methods: A total of 25 subjects requiring GBR during implant placement in anterior areas were allocated into two groups. In the experimental group (adjacent teeth with periapical lesions) with 10 subjects, implantation and GBR were performed for edentulous areas with simultaneous EMS for adjacent teeth. In the control group (adjacent teeth without periapical lesions) with 15 subjects, implantation and GBR were performed for edentulous areas. The clinical outcomes, radiographic bone remodeling, and patient-reported outcomes were assessed.

Results: Within a 1-year follow-up, the implant survival rate was 100% in both groups, with no significant difference regarding complications. All teeth achieved complete healing following EMS. Repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) measurements revealed a significant change over time in horizontal bone widths and postoperative patient-reported outcomes, but no intergroup statistically significant differences ( > .05) in horizontal bone widths and visual analog scale scores of pain, swelling, and bleeding were observed. Likewise, the bone volumetric decrease (7.4% ± 4.5% in the experimental group and 7.1% ± 5.2% in the control group) from T1 (suture removal) to T2 (6 months after implantation) revealed no intergroup differences. The horizontal bone width gain at the implant platform was slightly lower in the experimental group ( < .05). Interestingly, the color-coded figures of both groups showed a facial reduction of grafted material in edentulous areas. However, the apical regions following EMS exhibited stable bone remodeling in the experimental group.

Conclusion: This novel approach to address the problem involving implant-related surgery close to the periapical lesion of adjacent teeth appeared safe and reliable (no.: ChiCTR2000041153). Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2023;38:533-544. doi: 10.11607/jomi.9839.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare: (1) the effect of the bacterial biofilm on the dentin mineral density at the restoration-tooth interface and (2) the mineralization potential of three resin-based restorative materials (RBRM).

Methods: 16 extracted human molars free of caries and cracks were collected and stored for disinfection. Each tooth received two standardized Class II preparations with the cervical margin placed in dentin.

: This study aimed to evaluate the role of A-PRF (advanced platelet-rich fibrin) in the enhancement of wound healing and protecting the periodontal health of mandibular second molars after the extraction of mandibular third molars. Additionally, the study assessed the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of mandibular second molars as markers of inflammation. : Twenty-five systemically healthy adult patients with bilateral removal of impacted mandibular third molars were included.

Article Synopsis
  • The mandibular canal (MC) is a crucial anatomical structure that needs careful assessment using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) before surgical procedures.
  • A study analyzed 112 CBCT images of Vietnamese patients to determine the MC's dimensions and its relationship with nearby anatomical features.
  • Results showed that the average diameter of the MC was similar regardless of missing teeth, highlighting the importance of CBCT in treatment planning to prevent nerve damage during dental surgeries.
