Aims: To compare and evaluate the degree of osseointegration of UV-treated (photo functionalized) and non-treated dental implants surface coated with Calcium phosphate using the Resorbable Blast Media (RBM) technique in an animal model.
Settings And Design: Evaluative-Animal study design.
Materials And Methods: Six titanium dental implants of diameter 3.2 mm and length of 8 mm with Calcium phosphate coated surface using RBM or resorbable blast media technology (Implant Genesis: Genesis Normo Implant system) were placed epicrestally into the proximal femoral condyle of New Zealand white female rabbits such that each animal received two implants. Before implantation, one out of the two dental implants was photo functionalized with intense UV light for 15 minutes. After twelve weeks of healing, the animals were euthanized and the harvested specimens were analyzed using histomorphometric light microscopy to assess two parameters bone-implant contact and bone volume density.
Statistical Analysis Used: SPSS version 23. less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant. Tests used ANOVA followed by Tukey test.
Results: All six dental implants were osseointegrated. The overall mean bone-implant contact area (BIC) was 57.76% for non-UV treated whereas 88.4367% for UV-treated dental implants. The overall mean bone volume density (BVD) was 32.2333% for non-UV treated whereas 67.7533% for UV-treated dental implants.
Conclusion: Significant effects were observed on the osseointegration of dental titanium implants within twelve weeks after UV photo functionalization. The UV photo functionalization of dental titanium implants in the current study significantly altered the BIC and bone density on osseointegration when observed over twelve weeks.

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used as an effective noninvasive method for treating fractures and osteoarthrosis, but the application in the field of oral implantation is in its infancy. This study aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and implant osseointegration, and to provide an experimental basis for future clinical applications.
Methods: Dental implants were inserted into Wistar rat femurs, and LIPUS was performed for 4 weeks.

Introduction: Soft-tissue defect is commonly seen in immediate maxillary posterior implantation because of tooth extraction wound and tension from bone graft. Bone graft materials exposure has a significant detrimental influence on bone augmentation. However, previous studies lack sufficient evidence to guide wound closure after immediate posterior implantation.

Statement Of Problem: Although immediate implant loading has shown promising clinical results and high survival rates, an increased risk of implant failure and complications has been reported. Achieving consistently predictable outcomes with this approach remains a challenge, but evidence-based guidelines to assist in selecting suitable patients are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to investigate the success rate, survival rate, and complications of immediate implant loading compared with early and delayed loading.

Purpose: This study evaluated the accuracy of implant placement using a robotic system (Remebot) compared to freehand surgery and explored factors influencing accuracy.
Methods: This retrospective study included 95 implants placed in 65 patients, divided into robot-assisted (50 implants) and freehand (45 implants) groups. Platform, apical, and angular deviations were measured by superimposing preoperative plans and the postoperative CBCT images.
