Despite the widespread use of ultrasonography (US) in medical diagnostics, there is no similar US device available for visualizing jawbone density. This study is a narrative review of the possible applications of US in dentistry. This review is divided as follows: (a) Pulse-echo ultrasonography: the applications offer new perspectives for periodontal and peri-implant assessment.

Peri-implant bone necrosis (PIBN) is a rare yet potentially serious phenomenon contributing to implant failure. It can be challenging to determine the exact etiology, especially when multiple intricate factors are involved. This case series reports on the successful management of PIBN during early and late implant placement and peri-implantitis-associated bone necrosis, with likely causes being bone over-compression during implant placement or a consequence of periimplantitis.

Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (PI-MRONJ) in patients using anti-resorptive drugs (ARDs) on different implant position, inclinations, and types of prosthesis.
Methods: The data of 75 patients with bone necrosis that progressed around the implant between 2018 and 2022 were retrospectively examined to identify the factors influencing PI-MRONJ. Data, including patient demographics (age, sex, smoking status, concomitant disease, time of ARD therapy, dose of ARDs, and parafunctional habits) and implant-specific information (type of prosthesis, angle of insertion), were extracted from medical and dental records.

Purpose: Recently, rare cases of medication-related peri-implant osteonecrosis of the jaw (PI-MRONJ) have been reported. In patients with functional implants who begin using anti-osteoporosis medications (AOMs) after implantation, PI-MRONJ is unpredictable and poses a significant threat to the patient. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of AOMs on peri-implant tissues and to examine risk factors for peri-implantitis, a presumed trigger for PI-MRONJ.
