Aims: This study is aimed at investigation of microflora around healthy implants and comparison of the clinical and microbiological status of osseointegrated dental implant with that of a natural tooth. Materials and Methods: Ten patients with healthy osseointegrated dental implants were further subdivided into two groups according to sites evaluated for clinical and microbiological parameters, Group A-Subgingival site corresponding to periimplant mucosa. Group B – subgingival site corresponding to natural tooth distal to implant. Oral prophylaxis was carried out for all the subjects at baseline, and they were recalled after 3 months for the assessment of clinical parameters such as probing depth, sulcus bleeding index, and plaque index. Subgingival plaque samples were taken on the same day and subjected to microbiological analysis by polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis was done using Mann–Whitney test and Fisher's exact test. Results: There existed a definite correlation between clinical parameters such as sulcular bleeding index, plaque index, and periodontal pockets and the presence of these microorganisms, i.e., Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Tannerella forsythia, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans between the two groups. Conclusions: Although the ecological environment around dental implant may differ, the microbial findings of implants are similar to that of the natural tooth.

This article discusses how the microvascularized fibula flap with or without cutaneous component has become the reconstructive option of choice for mandibular defects due to its length,the ability to be molded, its acceptable and consistent vascular pedicle, and the relative ease to obtain. Since this bone has shown, due to its vascularization, to maintain the bone mass in time, which gives a potential advantage over other free bone flaps, and therefore, the possibility of rehabilitation with dental implants. However, this can be a challenge because most of these patients have large oncologic resections, frequent medical comorbidity, and often require associated radiotherapy. Initially we review some published works about changes over time in height and bone mass of fibula bone in patients treated for osteoradionecrosis (ORN), and therefore, about the success or failure of the implant rehabilitation in these patients was performed. After, the case of a male patient aged 40 is presented who underwent mandibular reconstruction with fibula free flap after an oncological resection which showed a picture of ORN managed with previous surgical therapy and hyperbaric oxygen as adjuvant therapy and on whom rehabilitation was then performed with implant-supported prostheses with favorable development during 7 years follow-up. Therefore we conclude that the microvascularized fibula bone can receive a functional dental rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants even if there has been a previous history of properly treated ORN.

Background and Objective: Immediate implant placement may preserve the alveolar anatomy and helps to maintain the bony crestal height. There are not enough studies addressing other outcome measures that determine the quality of survival such as the peri-implant hard and soft tissue integrity. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the peri-implant soft tissues, crestal bone resorption, and peri-implant bone healing in immediate and delayed implants in the esthetic zone of maxilla. Materials and Methods: Selective sampling done among the patients who reported to our center for implant placement. A total sample size of 100 implant sites in the esthetic zone of maxilla were selected from 77 patients (52 females and 25 males) with fifty sites in immediate implant group and fifty in delayed implant group. Samples from both groups were evaluated on follow-ups at 1st week, 1st month, 3rd month, and 6th month postoperatively. Evaluation was based on (1) assessment of peri-implant soft tissue by means of implant esthetic score, (2) radiographic assessment of peri-implant crestal bone loss, (3) peri-implant bone densitometry by grayscale assessment of radiograph. Results: Unpaired t-test was performed for each parameter, which showed a very high level of significance for implant esthetic score, high significance for gray scale assessment, and no significance for peri-implant crestal bone loss. Interpretation and Conclusion: The present study showed that immediate implants had better esthetic and functional outcome in terms of peri-implant soft tissue and peri-implant bone healing. However, there were no statistically significant data suggesting a lesser alveolar crestal bone loss in immediate implants.

Surgical guide plays a crucial role to facilitate optimal positioning and angulation of implants. Nonlimiting designs guide only the position but not the angulation of implant placement. This article describes a simplified technique of fabricating a surgical guide to limit the freedom of implant placement. In addition, it also has an advantage of holding the flap away from the operating site by means of a flange extended onto the buccal slope, allowing adequate visibility during the osteotomy preparation.

Background and Aim: The incisive canal (or nasopalatine duct) is located palatal to the maxillary central incisors and connects the palate to the floor of the nasal cavity. A branch of the greater palatine artery, the nasopalatine artery, and the nasopalatine nerve passes through this canal. A proper three-dimensional image of the incisive canal and foramen before any surgical intervention in the anterior maxilla is highly important since it can help determine the morphology and position of the canal in relation to the surrounding structures. The aim of this article is to analyze the influence of gender and age on the morphology and length of nasopalatine canal (NPC) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Study Design: This retrospective study analyzed 100 CBCT scans of patients between 15 and 75 years enrolled at a CBCT center in Bhopal, India. The images were acquired using Sirona's Orthophos SL. Two oral and maxillofacial radiologists examined all images to analyze the morphology and length of NPC with respect to gender and age. Results: Morphologically, there were four different shapes of NPC in sagittal CBCT section, and most common was cylindrical both in males and females. Least common shape seen was spindle shape in both genders. The NPC length decreased with increase in age. The length of the canal was found to be longer in men. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of morphology of NPC during surgical procedures such as implant planning.

Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors. These tumors are asymptomatic and are generally diagnosed on radiographic examination. The sole management depends on the early diagnosis, histopathological examination, and excision of the pathological tissue. This article presents surgical management of excision complex odontoma in 22-year-old female patient followed with prosthetic rehabilitation with dental implants for replacement of missing teeth. After excision, bone grafts may be necessary depending on the need for further treatment. The present case emphasizes that new bone formation can take place without using any graft materials for the placement of dental implants in a cases of benign pathology.

The most frequent single molar to be replaced is the first mandibular molar because this tooth is lost first. Implantation in the posterior area is a predictable procedure over time. The low rate of complications in addition to the high long.term success rate makes implant restoration a reliable solution to treat posterior partial edentulism. The use of two implants to replace a single molar seems a logical treatment solution. The following case deals with the replacement of the lower right first molar having a previously failed root canal treatment with two narrow implants of diameter 3.5. mm and height 10. mm. Replacing a single missing molar with two narrow dental implants serves as a viable treatment option providing good and predictable long.term results.

Introduction: As implant dentistry becomes popular with each passing, need to understand its awareness in the general population exists. The aim of this study was to assess the public awareness of dental implants as a treatment option and its demographic distribution in the Indian Metropolitan City of Mumbai. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire-based survey consisting of 12 questions on implant treatment awareness was conducted on randomly selected 1000 individuals attending eight dental clinics in the city of Mumbai, India. Distribution for each question was assessed using frequencies and percentages for various sociodemographic groups. Results: 32.30% of the participants were aware of dental implants as an option to replace missing teeth, without significant variance in gender and age groups ranging from 18 to 70 years. Awareness of dental implant treatment increased with the increase in socioeconomic status. Dentists were the main source of information on implants, followed by the internet. 46.8% of the participants wanted additional information on dental implants. Among those aware of implants, 62.85% of the participants regarded high cost of the treatment as the biggest disadvantage, 31.89% of the participants blamed their dental professional for the failure of implants, 48.92% of the participants thought implants would last a lifetime, and 85.45% of the participants were ready to restore their missing teeth with implant-based treatment options. Conclusion: This study reveals that there is a lack of awareness of dental implants and implant-based treatment in the population, especially in those with a low socioeconomic status. However, a significant portion of the population wanted to have more information on dental implants. Special efforts to improve doctor-patient communications will be needed to bridge the information gap.

Dental implants are commonly used in clinical situations for replacement of natural teeth. Despite many advances in materials, techniques, and implant design, implant failure is a significant concern for the dentist and patient. Peri-implantitis and lack of osseointegration are considered to be the major factors leading to implant failure. Occlusal overloading, medical status of the patient, smoking, and implant characteristics are among the other causes for implant failure. The purpose of this concise review is to discuss the etiology of implant failures by highlighting the various classification put forth by different authors and formulating a new classification.
