Objective: The present trial evaluated the first-time application of autogenous demineralized dentin graft with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (ADDG + i-PRF) versus autogenous demineralized dentin graft (ADDG), in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in the maxillary aesthetic zone.

Material and methods: Twenty-two maxillary (n = 22) non-molar teeth indicated for extraction were randomized into two groups (n = 11/group). Extracted teeth were prepared into ADDG, implanted into extraction sockets with or without i-PRF amalgamation and covered by collagen sponge. Cone-beam computed tomography scans at baseline and 6 months were compared to assess ridge-dimensional changes. Keratinized tissue width, patient satisfaction, pain score and chair time were recorded. In the course of dental implant placements at 6 months, bone core biopsies of engrafted sites were obtained and analysed histomorphometrically.

Results: Reduction in ridge width was 1.71 ± 1.08 and 1.8 ± 1.35 mm, while reduction in ridge height was 1.11 ± 0.76 and 1.8 ± 0.96 mm for ADDG + i-PRF and ADDG, respectively (p > 0.05). Significant differences in keratinized tissue width reduction were notable between ADDG + i-PRF and ADDG (0.12 ± 0.34 and 0.58 ± 0.34 mm respectively; p = 0.008). Postoperative pain scores were significantly lower in ADDG + i-PRF (p = 0.012). All patients in the two groups were satisfied with no differences in chair time (p > 0.05). No differences in total percentage area of newly formed bone, soft tissue or graft particles were observed between the groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: ADDG alone or in combination with i-PRF yields similar results regarding ARP clinically, quality of the formed osseous tissues, as well as patients' satisfaction. Yet, the addition of i-PRF to ADDG tends to preserve the keratinized tissue and lessen postoperative pain.

Objectives: This controlled preclinical study analyzed the effect of implant surface characteristics on osseointegration and crestal bone formation in a grafted dehiscence defect minipig model.

Material and methods: A standardized 3 mm × 3 mm acute-type buccal dehiscence minipig model grafted with deproteinized bovine bone mineral and covered with a porcine collagen membrane after 2 and 8 weeks of healing was utilized. Crestal bone formation was analyzed histologically and histomorphometrically to compare three implant groups: (1) a novel, commercially available, gradient anodized (NGA) implant, to two custom-made geometric replicas of implant "1," (2) a superhydrophilic micro-rough large-grit sandblasted and acid-etched surface, and (3) a relatively hydrophobic micro-rough large-grit sandblasted and acid-etched surface.

Results: At 2 and 8 weeks, there was no difference between the amount and height of newly formed bone (NBH, new bone height; BATA, bone area to total area) for any of the groups (p > 0.05). First bone-to-implant contact (fBIC) and vertical bone creep (VBC) at 2 and 8 weeks were significantly increased for Groups 2 and 3 compared to Group 1 (p < 0.05). At 8 weeks, osseointegration in the dehiscence (dehiscence bone-implant-contact; dBIC) was significantly higher for Groups 2 and 3 compared to Group 1 (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: The amount of newly formed bone (BATA) and NBH was not influenced by surface type. However, moderately rough surfaces demonstrated significantly superior levels of osseointegration (dBIC) and coronal bone apposition (fBIC) in the dehiscence defect compared to the NGA surface at 2 and 8 weeks.

Trial registration: For this type of study, clinical trial registration is not required. This study was conducted at the Biomedical Department of Lund University (Lund, Sweden) and approved by the local Ethics Committee of the University (M-192-14).

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of peri-implant diseases in a randomly selected Norwegian population. The secondary aims were to explore risk indicators for peri-implant diseases and to validate self-reported outcome measures from a survey with clinical parameters.

Material and methods: Patients (n = 3083) rehabilitated with dental implants in 2014 were mailed a questionnaire and invited to a clinical examination. A randomly selected subset of responders underwent a clinical examination (n = 242). Full mouth clinical and radiographic examinations were conducted. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess patient-related risk indicators for peri-implantitis. Self-reported data were compared with data from the clinical examination using Spearman correlation and binary logistic regression.

Results: The prevalence of peri-implantitis was 17.0% at patient level and 8.6% at implant level, according to the 2018 classification. Risk indicators for peri-implantitis included smoking and periodontitis in the adjusted model. The correlation was strong (r = 0.91, p < 0.001) between number of self-reported implants and clinical counts, whereas self-reported peri-implant inflammation was associated with peri-implantitis (OR 6.4 [95% CI 3.0, 13.7]).

Conclusions: Smoking and periodontitis were identified as key risk indicators for peri-implantitis. Questionnaire data rendered clinically valid estimates of implant number, and self-reported peri-implant inflammation was associated with clinical peri-implantitis.

Objectives: This study aims to examine differences in trueness and precision between surgical guides with (S) and without sleeves (SL). A secondary aim was to assess the impact of the sleeve-to-bone distance.

Materials and methods: Mandible replicas (n = 120) were printed from an STL file obtained from a clinical CBCT. The mandibles were divided into sleeved (S, n = 60) and sleeveless (SL, n = 60) groups, each further divided into three categories (n = 20 each) with different heights from the guide to the implant platform: 2 mm (H2), 4 mm (H4), or 6 mm (H6). Digital planning and surgical guide design were done for a 4.1 × 10 mm implant for site #30. Post-op positions were captured using a scan body and lab scanner. Angular deviation was the primary outcome, with 3D and 2D deviations as secondary parameters. Statistical analysis included two-sample t-tests, and one-way and two-way ANOVA.

Results: Group S (2.41 ± 1.41°) had significantly greater angular deviation than Group SL (1.65 ± 0.93°; p = 0.0001). Angular deviation increased with sleeve-to-bone distance. H2 deviations were 1.48 ± 0.80° (S) vs. 1.02 ± 0.45° (SL; p < 0.05), H4: 2.36 ± 1.04° (S) vs. 1.48 ± 0.79° (SL; p < 0.05), H6: 3.37 ± 0.67° (S) vs. 2.46 ± 0.89° (SL; p < 0.05). 3D deviation at the implant platform was 0.36 ± 0.17 mm (S) vs. 0.30 ± 0.15 mm (SL; p < 0.05) and at the apex 0.74 ± 0.34 mm (S) vs. 0.53 ± 0.31 mm (SL; p < 0.01). Group SL at H2 had the smallest inter-implant distance (0.53 ± 0.37°), while Group S at H4 had the largest (1.20 ± 0.84°; p < 0.05).

Conclusions: Sleeveless guides are more accurate than sleeved guides, and angular deviation is influenced by the distance from the guide to the implant platform.

Objective: Assess whether horizontal ridge augmentation with guided bone regeneration (GBR) using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM), autologous bone, and a resorbable collagen membrane supports successful implant placement.

Materials and methods: This open, prospective, single-cohort, multicenter clinical study included patients with ridge defects that required GBR prior to implant insertion. The primary endpoint was radiologically assessed bone gain after 8 months post-GBR, measured at the center of planned implant sites. Secondary endpoints included implant survival and success, marginal bone levels (MBLs), MBL changes, and soft tissue health.

Results: Of 45 patients evaluated 8 months post-GBR, nine experienced dehiscence in the first 3 weeks of the healing period. GBR led to radiologically determined mean bone width gain of 4.0 ± 1.5 mm and 4.8 ± 1.7 mm, measured 1 and 3 mm from the top of the crest, respectively, allowing successful implant placement in 44 patients (97.8%). The cumulative implant survival and success rates were 98.9% and 95.5%, respectively. MBLs were stable: -1.18 ± 0.64 mm at definitive prosthesis placement (DPP) and - 1.07 ± 0.74 mm at 1 year. Soft tissue health and esthetics (plaque and bleeding indices, papilla, keratinized mucosa, and pink esthetic score) improved from DPP to 1 year. Patients were highly satisfied with implant function and esthetics, and their oral health-related quality of life improved.

Conclusions: GBR using DBBM and a collagen membrane offered a safe and effective treatment option for horizontal ridge augmentation sufficient to support implant-based tooth rehabilitation.
