Round and flat zygomatic implants: effectiveness after a 3‑year follow‑up non‑interventional study.

Purpose: This non-interventional study investigates variations in the type and frequency of late complications linked to novel zygomatic implant designs, installed adhering to the Zygoma Anatomy-Guided Approach (ZAGA) concept, over an extended follow-up period of at least 3 years.

Methods: Consecutive patients presenting indications for treatment with ZIs were treated according to ZAGA recommendations. Implants were immediately loaded.

Group 3 ITI Consensus Report: Materials and antiresorptive drug-associated outcomes in implant dentistry.

Objectives: The aim of Working Group 3 was to address the influence of both material- and anti-resorptive drug- related factors on clinical and biological outcomes and complications in implant dentistry. Focused questions were addressed on (a) implant materials other than titanium (alloy)s, (b) transmucosal abutment materials and (c) medications affecting bone metabolism were addressed.

Materials And Methods: Three systematic reviews formed the basis for discussion in Group 3.

Occurrence, associated factors and soft tissue reconstructive therapy for buccal soft tissue dehiscence at dental implants: Consensus report of group 3 of the DGI/SEPA/Osteology Workshop.

Objectives: To systematically assess the literature and report on (1) the frequency of occurrence of buccal soft tissue dehiscence (BSTD) at implants, (2) factors associated with the occurrence of BSTD and (3) treatment outcomes of reconstructive therapy for the coverage of BSTD.

Materials And Methods: Two systematic reviews addressing focused questions related to implant BSTD occurrence, associated factors and the treatment outcomes of BSTD coverage served as the basis for group discussions and the consensus statements. The main findings of the systematic reviews, consensus statements and implications for clinical practice and for future research were formulated within group 3 and were further discussed and reached final approval within the plenary session.

Round and flat zygomatic implants: effectiveness after a 1-year follow-up non-interventional study.

Introduction: There are few zygomatic implants (ZI) designs available. The objective of this non-interventional study was to report the effectiveness of two new site-specific ZI, selected and placed following the zygoma anatomy-guided approach (ZAGA).

Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients presenting indications for rehabilitation using ZI were treated according to ZAGA Concept recommendations.

Position-dependent accommodative shift of retropupillary fixated iris-claw lenses.

Purpose: After implantation of retropupillary fixated iris-claw lenses, changes of the objective refraction can occur depending on the patients' position. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and quantify these changes as well as the influencing factors.

Methods: Within a retrospective study, postoperative refraction visual, acuity and anterior chamber depth after implantation of a retropupillary fixated iris-claw lens (Artisan® / Verisyse®) were measured in 51 eyes (49 patients) depending on their head position.

Multicenter randomized clinical trial: early loading of implants in maxillary bone.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to show prognostic equivalence between implant loading in the maxilla after 12 weeks versus 4 weeks.

Materials And Methods: One hundred four patients, from four centers in this open-labeled randomized multicenter prospective controlled clinical trial, were assigned to either 12 weeks or 4 weeks of unloaded healing. Two hundred sixty-nine implants (sand blasted large-grid, acid etched [SLA] surface, ≥ 4.
