Objectives: The current guidelines recommend that immediate implants be placed in patients with thick (>1 mm) buccal bone due to the inevitable tissue remodeling that follows tooth extraction. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of buccal bone thickness on bone resorption in immediate implant placement and compare two measuring techniques of the aforementioned resorption.
Materials: The present study was designed as a prospective nonrandomized, controlled clinical trial. A total of 30 implants were split between the two study arms, thin buccal bone and thick buccal bone. The primary outcome was to assess vertical bone changes radiographically by cone beam scans preoperatively, at 2 months and 18 months after implant placement in patients with thin and thick buccal plate. Secondary outcomes included the change in the thickness of the buccal bony plate, marginal bone loss, and pink esthetic score.
Results: Only 26 implants were statistically analyzed as one early failure was observed in each group. Furthermore, 2 patients of the thick group withdrew from the study. Cone beam computed tomography measurements revealed that at 2 months the vertical bone loss was 1.09 for the thin group and 0.85 for the thick group. The buccal bone plate resorption of the thin group was 0.39 mm while it was 0.52 mm for the thick group. The buccal bone plate was 1.25 mm in the thin group and 1.88 mm in the thick group. The PES did not show any significant difference with very good esthetic results.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of the current study, the amount of buccal bone plate resorption and the subsequent thickness obtained after implantation in both groups suggest successful long-term results. The two measuring techniques have proven to be comparable and reliable in the measurement of buccal bony plate changes. https://classic.

Novel triangle papilla access approach for interdental bone defect regeneration: A case study.
Clin Adv Periodontics
January 2025
Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Successful periodontal regeneration depends on primary wound closure and interdental papilla preservation. In this case study, we introduce a novel triangle papilla access approach (T-PAA) performed under a surgical microscope for treating interdental bone defects. In this novel approach, buccal incisions were used to access root surfaces and bone defects, avoiding interdental papilla incisions and preventing papillary collapse and necrosis.

Clin Adv Periodontics

Operative Unit of Dentistry, Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale, Ferrara, Italy.
Background: The purpose of the present case study is to describe the application of a modification of the Biologically-oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation (BARP) principles in cases of peri-implant bone dehiscence (PIBD) due to a compromised alveolus at immediate implant placement (IIP).
Methods: The technique is based on the stratification of three layers: a deep layer with a collagen sponge (CS) in the apical part of the alveolus (where the buccal bone plate was still present) to support the blood clot; a graft layer to correct the PIBD; and a superficial collagen layer to cover the graft thus providing space and enhancing clot/graft stability. Healing was obtained by primary closure.
Coronally Advanced Flap with a Xenogeneic Collagen Matrix or a rhPDGF-BB-regenerative approach for Bilateral Multiple Gingival Recessions: A Split-mouth Clinical Feasibility Study.
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent
January 2025
This split-mouth trial investigated the efficacy of treating bilateral gingival recessions with either a xenogeneic cross-linked collagen matrix (CCM), or recombinant human platelet derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB) with a bone allograft (AG). Ten patients were treated with the coronally advanced flap (CAF), either with a CCM, or rhPDGF-BB + AG. The primary outcome was percentage of mean root coverage (mRC) at 12 months.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The adjunctive use of connective tissue grafts (CTGs) in the periodontal regeneration of intrabony defects has been proposed to prevent or limit postoperative gingival recession. However, there is limited evidence regarding the long-term clinical performance of this approach.
Methods: This article presents the five-year follow-up outcomes of a combination therapy using CTG, bone substitutes, and biologics for the treatment of deep intrabony defects associated with gingival recession.
Challenges in detecting various peri-implant bone defects on modified intraoral oblique radiographic projections: evaluation of an artificial mandibular model.
Oral Radiol
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, The Nippon Dental University School of Life Dentistry, Tokyo, Japan.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of oblique radiographic projection using the intraoral paralleling technique in detecting various peri-implant bone defects.
Methods: Artificial mandibular models with appropriate radiopacity were created. An alveolar bone model without bone defects and models with 12 types of peri-implant bone defects (buccal, circumferential, and mixed types with different widths and depths) were created.
