The use of dental implants and prostheses in the oral rehabilitation process after maxillofacial ablation procedures is now regarded as standard practice. Numerous donor sites for free vascularized bone transfer in head and neck reconstruction have been well-documented in the literature including the ribs, ilium, fibula, scapula, and radius. Among these, the fibula is the most commonly used and studied for placing endosseous implants and for rehabilitation purposes. There are benefits and drawbacks to the fibula flap. This paper aims to provide a review of the current research on the long-term success rates of implants in fibula free flaps.

Full-arch implant rehabilitation in extremely atrophic edentulous mandibles is still challenging due to the high risk of fracture and the limited bone availability. The approach proposes using short implants with immediate loading for final prostheses as a treatment option, which offers shorter treatment times and fewer invasive procedures. A 66-year-old female patient with an edentulous mandible and severe alveolar bone resorption was treated with four short implants in the interforaminal area.

Unlabelled: Peri-implantitis (PI) is an inflammatory disease that affects supportive tissues around dental implants, and its progression eventually leads to bone loss and implant failure. However, PI effects may be different based on the presence or absence of adjacent teeth.
Objective: To investigate the differences in bone loss and inflammation between implants placed adjacent to a tooth or edentulous area in a ligature-induced PI model.

Placing an implant immediately into extraction sockets provides a distinct advantage over delayed placement, eliminating the need for a 4 to 6 months waiting period for bone formation. However, when patients present with hypothyroidism, the feasibility of immediate placement of dental implants becomes uncertain. This case involved a hypothyroid woman in her late 60s with loose lower anterior teeth.

Human periodontal ligament (hPDL) is continuously exposed to mechanical forces that can induce inflammatory responses in resident stem cells (hPDLSCs). Here, we review the impact of mechanical force on hPDLSCs, focusing on the activation of inflammatory cytokines and related signalling pathways, which subsequently influence periodontal tissue remodelling. The effects of various mechanical forces, including compressive, shear, and tensile forces, on hPDLSCs are discussed.
