Dental implants are commonly used for tooth replacement tools due to their good oral rehabilitation and reconstruction capacities. Dental implants treatment for natural teeth is desired to achieve successful implants treatment with improved osseointegration through promotion of mammalian cell activity and prevention of bacterial activity. Honey is potentially known for its antimicrobial and antibacterial potential, specifically for burns and wound healing. In this study, honey based silver nanoparticles were synthesized using various concentrations of honey. The synthesized HNY-AgNPs, MSN and HNY-AgMSN were characterized for their surface Plasmon resonance using UV spectroscopy, Hydrodynamic diameter using Zetasizer. Morphology using AFM. Furthermore, surface functional groups were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy at 4cm-1 resolutions. The developed hybrid nanoparticles were tested for their anti-bacterial activity at concentration of 3000µg/mL. It was found HNY-AgNPs was active against both bacterial strains i.e, Streptococcus mutans and streptococcus aureus. HNY-AgNPs-MSN hybrid implant demonstrated potential new type of dental implants, which can offer an effective design for the fabrication of advanced dental implants.

Abutment contours, position, tissue thickness, and volume are all key parameters for the successful restoration of implants in the aesthetic zone. This is particularly true for patients with high smile lines and high aesthetic expectations. This narrative review will provide a synopsis of the known science of implant abutments and peri-implant tissues in this area and cover specialised techniques, materials, and protocols to improve outcomes with increased predictability.

The number of dental implants placed and restored every year is increasing across the world. However, there has been an increase in the number of reports with implant-related surgical complications in which the inferior alveolar nerve injury is the most serious one. This surgical problem can be avoided by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), three-dimensional (3D) implant planning software, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology such as stereolithographic surgical guides.

Conventional complete denture wearers often complain of lack of stability and overall discomfort with their prostheses. The advent of dental implants and advanced prosthetic methods have greatly improved this struggle for edentulous patients. The utilisation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology has only further enhanced the capabilities of dental practitioners to rapidly and accurately restore edentulism.

Currently, the restoration of missing teeth by means of dental implants is a common treatment method in dentistry. Ensuring optimal contact between teeth (occlusion) when designing the occlusal surface of an implant-supported crown is crucial for the patient. Although there are various occlusal concepts and guidelines for achieving optimised occlusion, adapting an occlusal surface is challenging.

Long bone and craniofacial bone fractures amount to an overwhelming expenditure for patients and health care systems each year. Overall, 5-10% of all bone fractures result in some form of delayed or nonunion fractures. Nonunions occur from insufficient mechanical stabilization or a compromised wound environment lacking in vasculature and progenitor cells.
