Background: Flapless surgery for implant placement has been gaining popularity among implant surgeons. it has numerous advantages, including preservation of circulation, decreased surgical time; improved patient comfort; and accelerated recuperation.
Materials And Methods: As a part of the study to evaluate crestal bone loss changes after placement of implant using the flapless technique, we placed twenty endosseous implants. Access was achieved to the crestal bone using a tissue punch. Clinical and radiographic analyses were performed second and fourth months after placement of the implant. Postoperative pain was measured by the visual analog scale at the 4, 8, and 24 hour.
Results: The findings of the present study demonstrate that the average crestal bone loss around the implant at 4 months using the flapless technique was 0.19 mm. No implants failed to osseointegrate, and no implants exhibited bone loss greater than 0.5 mm in the first four months. This present study shows significantly less postoperative pain in the flapless technique of implant placement.
Conclusion: The flapless approach is a predictable procedure when patient selection and surgical technique are appropriate.

Background: Minimally invasive dentistry is now becoming the forefront of restorative dentistry, involving less traumatic treatment protocols, conservation of tooth structure and surrounding tissues, enhancing the long-term survivability of treated teeth, and improving the overall quality of life for patients.
Objective: The current case report was conducted to evaluate acquiring deep subgingival interproximal carious lesions by the mean of thermacut bur gingivectomy, in terms of patient satisfaction through pain evaluation, Bleeding on Probing, Pocket Depth, Crestal Bone Level evaluation, and restoration evaluation using modified USPHS criteria.
Material And Methods: A patient with a deep proximal cavity in the posterior tooth was thoroughly examined and underwent Thermacut Bur Gingivectomy (TBG) after caries removal followed by direct resin composite restoration of the prepared cavity.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) combined with mechanical debridement (MD) in treating peri-implantitis in patients undergoing chemotherapy compared to systemically healthy patients.
- Both patient groups were assessed; however, results showed no significant differences in key measurements (plaque and gingival indices, probing depth, and bone loss) between the two groups at both baseline and three-month follow-up.
- Overall, the findings indicated that adding aPDT to MD did not lead to enhanced treatment outcomes for peri-implantitis in either chemotherapy patients or systemically healthy individuals.
