Over the last decade, osseointegrated dental implants have become an integral part of the restorative dental armamentarium. Reproducible success rates approaching 100% further emphasize the importance and value of this treatment modality. Still, a significant waiting period is required between implant placement and prosthesis delivery, which necessitates a two-surgery approach for implant protection during healing. This article discusses the development of an animal model that is being used to investigate methods of manipulating the healing process of bone next to dental implants. Osseointegration has been shown to occur at 6 weeks in the rat tibia model, demonstrating many of the same characteristics seen in humans. The successful manipulation of bone next to the implant surface may ultimately lead to a surgical protocol for the placement of dental implants requiring only one surgery, significantly reducing the overall healing time.

Background: To improve the success rate of mini-implants, some surgical guides have been developed through digital technologies to achieve three-dimensional (3D) guided mini-implants insertion. However, there is no a surgical guide which can be applied for the insertion of infrazygomatic mini-implant. In this study, we introduced a two-trajectories surgical guide and investigated the success rate of infrazygomatic mini-implants under the guidance of the template.

Implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation for patients with severely atrophic jaws is challenging due to complex anatomical considerations and the limitations of conventional augmentation techniques. This study explores the potential of subperiosteal (juxta-osseous) implants as an alternative solution, using finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate mechanical performance. Realistic jaw models, developed from radiographic data, are utilized to simulate various implant configurations and load scenarios.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based deep learning model for the detection and numbering of dental implants in panoramic radiographs. The novelty of this model lies in its ability to both detect and number implants, offering improvements in clinical decision support for dental implantology.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective dataset of 32 585 panoramic radiographs, collected from patients at Sivas Cumhuriyet University between 2014 and 2024, was utilized.
