AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects on bone loss and health status associated with laser surface-treated dental implants.
- Twenty-three titanium implants were placed, some loaded immediately and others conventionally, with radiographs taken after three years and then annually for eight years to assess bone loss.
- Results showed minimal vertical and horizontal bone loss (average changes of 0.009 mm and 0.026 mm, respectively), indicating that laser-treated implants have a low rate of bone absorption over time.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate peri-implant bone loss and health status associated with the long-term use of laser surface-treated implants.
Methods: For control study, total of 23 titanium ASTM F136 grade 23 implants were placed in the edentulous molar area of the mandible. When the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) ≥ 70 and insertion torque value (ITV) ≥ 35-50 Ncm at the insertion site, an immediate provisional restoration was connected to the implant within a week after surgery. The definitive restorations were placed 2 months after surgery for all implants. 13 implants were immediately loaded, while 10 implants were conventionally loaded. For comparative study, Radiographs were taken from third years for and then annually for the subsequent eight years to monitor marginal bone loss.
Results: After eight year of implant installation, the average change in vertical bone loss was 0.009 mm (P < 0.001), while the average change in horizontal bone loss 8 year after implant placement was 0.026 mm (P < 0.001). The mean marginal bone loss was < 0.2 mm on average.
Conclusions: In this retrospective study, laser-treated implants exhibit a low rate of bone absorption around the implants.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of femtosecond laser (FL) irradiation on the surface roughness and shear bond strength of high-translucency zirconia (6 mol% yttria-partially stabilized zirconia [6Y-PSZ]) and lithium disilicate (LiSiO) glass ceramics.
Methods: Fully sintered square-shaped specimens of 6Y-PSZ (7 groups; 20 specimens/group) and LiSiO (8 groups; 20 specimens/group) were surface-treated via sandblasting (50-μm alumina sand or glass beads) or FL irradiation (20- or 40-μm dot or cross-line patterns) or using Monobond Etch & Prime (Ivoclar Vivadent AG; only for LiSiO specimens). The surface roughness (arithmetic average [Sa] and developed interfacial area ratio [Sdr]) and shear bond strength after 24 h and 10,000 thermal cycles were measured and statistically analyzed.

Purpose: This in-vitro study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) crowns on Corticobasal® implant abutments, evaluating the effects of two surface treatments and two luting agents.
Materials And Methods: Thirty Co-Cr crowns were fabricated using CAD-CAM technology with a direct metal laser sintering process and divided into three groups based on surface treatment: Group I (untreated), Group II (sandblasted with 50 μm Al₂O₃), and Group III (Er: YAG laser etching). Each group was further subdivided based on luting cement: Sub group A (GC Fuji Plus) and Sub group B (Rely X U200).

Objective: To investigate the antibacterial, remineralising, and discolouring effects of copper tetraamine fluoride (CTF) on artificial enamel caries.
Method: Human enamel blocks with artificial caries were treated with CTF, silver diamine fluoride (SDF, positive control) and water (negative control) before being challenged with Streptococcus mutans. The morphology, viability, and growth kinetics of biofilm were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and colony-forming unit (CFU) counting.
