Peri-implant diseases, characterized by inflammatory conditions affecting peri-implant tissues, encompass peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Peri-implant mucositis is an inflammatory lesion limited to the mucosa around an implant, while peri-implantitis extends from the mucosa to the supporting bone, causing a loss of osseointegration. For non-surgical treatments, we tested the null hypothesis that the presence or absence of air-polishing made no difference. The study focused on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing air-polishing with mechanical or ultrasonic debridement, evaluating outcomes such as bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), plaque index/plaque score (PI/PS), clinical attachment level (CAL), bone loss, and mucosal recession (MR). Two independent reviewers conducted data extraction and quality assessments, considering short-term (<6 months) and long-term (≥6 months) follow-up periods. After screening, ten articles were included in the meta-analysis. In nonsurgical peri-implant disease management, air-polishing moderately mitigated short-term PI/PS for peri-implant mucositis and showed a similar improvement in long-term BOP and bone loss for peri-implantitis compared to the control group. The Egger test found no evidence of publication bias except for the long-term PI/PS of peri-implant mucositis. Leave-one-out analysis confirmed the stability of the results. The findings highlight the need for future research with longer-term follow-up and high-quality, multi-center, large-sample RCTs.

Implantoplasty involves mechanically modifying the exposed implant surface by removing macro- and micro-structures and is typically considered a resective approach. The potential for bone regeneration with implantoplasty alone has not yet been studied. This research aimed to evaluate long-term changes in peri-implant bone levels without using regenerative materials.

The objective of the study was to compare the surgical vs. the nonsurgical techniques in the treatment of peri-implant diseases and to obtain a comprehensive analysis of the effects on BOP/probing depths when applying either the surgical technique vs. a nonsurgical technique.

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a bacterial infection of the heart's inner lining. A low incidence rate combined with a high mortality rate mean that IE can be difficult to treat effectively. There is currently substantial evidence supporting a link between oral health and IE with the oral microbiome impacting various aspects of IE, including pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and mortality rates.

Statement Of Problem: The relationship between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and the clinical outcomes of ultrahydrophilic, smooth collar implants in the maxillary molar region remains underexplored.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to investigate the relationship between the HbA1c levels and clinical outcomes of ultrahydrophilic, smooth collar implants in the maxillary molar region of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Material And Methods: In total, 35 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had received dental implants in the maxillary molar region between January 2016 and June 2020 were enrolled.

Background: Many studies have been published on the relationship between different parameters with marginal bone loss around implants. The results of these studies vary, but some variables such as smoking or certain systemic conditions are more likely to predispose or exacerbate the resorption around implants. The aim of this study was to determine the rates of implants with radiographically detected marginal bone loss and to determine whether there is a relationship between the severity of destruction and certain risk factors like location of implant, restoration type, systemic condition, age, sex or smoking habits.
