Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this narrative review is to describe the emerging evidence concerning etiological factors and pathophysiological mechanisms involved in peri-implant inflammatory diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search for articles published until November 2022 was conducted in MEDLINE by three independent reviewers to identify manuscripts reporting data on etiological factors and pathophysiological mechanisms associated with peri-implant diseases. RESULTS Current evidence suggests that peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are inflammatory conditions linked to a microbial challenge. However, in recent years, there has been increasing evidence indicating that certain peri-implant inflammatory conditions may not be primarily related to biofilm-mediated infectious processes but rather to other biological mechanisms, such as a foreign body response. CONCLUSION The current evidence, not only in the dental literature, opens new avenues for a more complex interpretation of the etiopathogenetic factors involved in peri-implant diseases. A better understanding of various factors related to the host response, including dysbiosis mechanisms associated with changes in microbiota composition, is necessary for a more precise physiopathological characterization of these diseases.

Prevalence of Peri-Implant Mucositis, Peri-Implantitis and Associated Risk Indicators of Implants with and without Laser-Microgrooved Collar Surface: A Long-Term (≥20 Years) Retrospective Study. J Pers Med 2024; 14:342. [PMID: 38672969 PMCID: PMC11050992 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14040342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to retrospectively investigate the prevalence of peri-implant mucositis (PIM) and peri-implantitis (P) in a long-term follow-up (≥20 years) of implants with the same body design and body surface but different collar surfaces with laser-microtextured grooves (LMGSs) vs. no laser-microtextured grooves (no-LMGSs) in private practice patients. Furthermore, several patient-related, implant-related, site-, surgical-, and prosthesis-related potential disease risk factors were analyzed. A chart review of patients receiving at least one pair of implants (one with an LMGS and the other without LMGS) in the period 1993-2002 was used. Chi-square analysis was used to determine if a statistically significant difference between the investigated variables and PIM/P was present. Possible risk factors were statistically evaluated by a binary logistic regression analysis. A total of 362 patients with 901 implant-supported restorations (438 with LMGS and 463 no-LMGS) were included in the study. The cumulative survival rates of implants at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 98.1%, 97.4%, 95.4%, and 89.8%, respectively, for the LMGS group, and 93.2%, 91.6%, 89.5%, and 78.3% for the no-LMGS group. The difference was statistically significant at all timepoints (p < 0.05). In total, at the end of the follow-up period, 45.7% of patients and 39.8% of implants presented PIM, and 15.6% of patients and 14% of implants presented P. A total of 164 LMGS implants (37.4%) and 195 no-LMGS implants (42.1%) presented peri-implant mucositis, while 28 (6.3%) of LMGS implants and 98 (21.1%) no-LMGS implants demonstrated peri-implantitis. Differences between LMGS implants and no-LMGS implants were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The binary logistic regression identified collar surface, cigarette smoking, histories of treated periodontitis, and lack of peri-implant maintenance as risk factors for P. After at least 20 years of function in patients followed privately, LMGS implants compared to no-LMGS implants presented a statistically and significantly lower incidence of P. Implant collar surface, cigarette smoking, previously treated periodontitis, and lack of peri-implant maintenance are factors with significant association to P.

Abstract
This retrospective clinical study compared two different professional maintenance therapy (MT) approaches (with and without periodic removal and decontamination of prosthetic components) on peri-implant inflammatory clinical and biochemical parameters after 5 years of implant function. A retrospective analysis based on patient records was used to assess inflammatory clinical and biochemical parameters around dental implants placed by the same clinician in a private practice. The Plaque Index (PI), peri-implant probing depth (PPD), mucosal recession (REC), bleeding on probing (BOP), and radiographic marginal bone level were determined at baseline and at each follow-up year. Moreover, at the last follow-up visit, the peri-implant intrasulcular levels of active metalloproteinasis 8 (aMMP-8) were also assessed. All participants were under MT with a 6-month recall interval. A total of 92 patients with 132 implants were selected. At the end of the study period, 12 patients with 12 implants were classified as dropouts. The remaining 80 patients and 120 implants were classified into two groups: Group 1 (42 patients, 62 implants) received MT with periodic removal and decontamination of prosthetic components; Group 2 (38 patients, 58 implants) received MT without periodic removal and decontamination of prosthetic components. No statistical differences were found between the groups regarding PI, PPD, and REC. Group 1 presented a statistically significant higher number of sites with BOP (12.4% vs 6.2%). Marginal bone loss was statistically higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 (0.23 ± 0.6 mm vs 0.78 ± 0.3 mm). Intrasulcular levels of aMMP-8 were statistically higher in Group 1 than in Group 2. The supplemental application of periodic removal and decontamination of prosthetic components during MT had a significantly positive effect on the inflammatory status of peri-implant tissues.

Can Peri-Implant Marginal Bone Loss Progression and a-MMP-8 Be Considered Indicators of the Subsequent Onset of Peri-Implantitis? A 5-Year Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12112599. [PMID: 36359443 PMCID: PMC9689086 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12112599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the relationship between the amount of early bone remodeling, the marginal bone loss (MBL) progression, and the peri-implant sulcular fluid concentration of active metalloproteinase-8 (a-MMP-8) and the incidence of peri-implantitis (P) over 5 years of implant function. It has been documented that dental implants with a high degree of early marginal bone loss (MBL) are likely to achieve additional increased MBL during function. Moreover, it has been speculated that early increased MBL might be a predictive factor for the subsequent onset of peri-implant inflammatory diseases. Clinical and radiographic data at implant placement (T0) and restoration delivery (TR) at 6 months (T1), 2 years (T2), and 5 years (T5) post-loading were retrospectively collected. MBL levels/rates (MBLr) and peri-implant sulcular fluid levels/rates of a-MMP-8 were assessed at TR, T1, T2, and T5. Implants were divided into two groups: group 1 with peri-implantitis (P+) and group 2 without peri-implantitis (P−). A multi-level simple binary logistic regression, using generalized estimation equations (GEEs), was implemented to assess the association between each independent variable and P+. A receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to evaluate an optimal cutoff point for T1 MBL degree and a-MMP-8 level to discriminate between P+ and P− implants. A total of 80 patients who had received 80 implants between them (39 implants with a laser-microtextured collar surface (LMS) and 41 implants with a machined collar surface (MS)) were included. Periapical radiographs and a software package were used to measure MBL rates. Peri-implant sulcular implant fluid samples were analyzed by a chairside mouth-rinse test (ImplantSafe®) in combination with a digital reader (ORALyzer®). Twenty-four implants (six with an LMS and eighteen with an MS) were classified as P+. No statistically significant association was found between the amount of early bone remodeling, MBL progression, and MBLr and the incidence of peri-implantitis. Implants with a-MMP-8 levels >15.3 ng/mL at T1 presented a significantly higher probability of P+. The amount of early marginal bone remodeling cannot be considered as an indicator of the subsequent onset of P, whereas high a-MMP-8 levels 6 months after loading could have a distinct ability to predict P.

Clinical, radiographic, and biochemical evaluation of two-piece versus one-piece single implants with a laser-microgrooved collar surface after 5 years of functional loading. Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2022; 24:676-682. [PMID: 35749154 DOI: 10.1111/cid.13118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
AIM To compare the clinical and radiographic conditions and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) at two-piece/bone level (TP/BL) versus one-piece/tissue level (OP/TL) single implants with a laser-microgrooved collar after at least 5 years of loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 20 single TP/BL implants and 20 contralateral OP/TL implants, both with a laser-microgrooved collar surface, in 20 systemically and periodontally healthy subjects (12 males and 8 females, between the age of 36 and 64 [mean age of 49.7 ± 12.3 years]), were examined. Levels of IL-1β, IL-1RA, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, b-FGF, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IFN, MIP-1β, TNF-α, and VEGF were assessed in PICF using the Bio-Plex 200 Suspension Array System. Plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and gingival recession (REC) were recorded. Radiographic crestal bone levels (CBL) were assessed at the mesial and distal aspects of the implant sites. RESULTS The mean PI, PD, BOP, and REC values had no significant differences in either group. A higher mean value of CBL with statistical difference was detected for TP/BL compared with OP/TL implants. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, GM-CSF, and MIP-1β and TNF-α were higher at TP/BL implants than at OP/TL implants. However, only IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α values presented significant differences between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Although after 5 years of loading single TP/BL and OP/TL implants with a laser-microgrooved collar surface presented similar good clinical conditions, a higher proinflammatory state and higher crestal bone loss were detected for TP/BL implants.

Use of Xenogenic Collagen Matrices in Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Volume Augmentation: A Critical Review on the Current Evidence and New Technique Presentation. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15113937. [PMID: 35683237 PMCID: PMC9182004 DOI: 10.3390/ma15113937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Plastic peri-implant surgical procedures aiming to increase soft tissue volume around dental implants have long been well-described. These are represented by: pedicle soft tissue grafts (rotational flap procedures and advanced flap procedures) and free soft tissue grafts (epithelialized, also called free gingival graft (FGG), and non-epithelialized, also called, connective tissue graft (CTG) or a combination of both. To bypass the drawback connected with autologous grafts harvesting, xenogenic collagen matrices (XCM)s and collagen-based matrices derived from porcine dermis (PDXCM)s have been introduced, as an alternative, in plastic peri-implant procedures. Aim: This review is aimed to evaluate and to critically analyze the available evidence on the effectiveness of XCMs and PDXCMs in soft tissue volume augmentation around dental implants. Moreover, a clinical case with a new soft tissue grafting procedure technique (Guided Soft Tissue Regeneration, GSTR) is presented. Material and Methods: An electronic search was performed on the MEDLINE database, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The electronic search provided a total of 133 articles. One hundred and twenty-eight not meeting the inclusion criteria were excluded. Seven articles of human randomized clinical trials were selected. A total number of 108 patients were treated with CTG, and 110 patients with XCM. Results: in peri-implant soft tissue augmentation procedures, XCMs seem an effective alternative to CTGs, associated with lower patient morbidity and lower operative times.

In Vitro Direct and Indirect Cytotoxicity Comparative Analysis of One Pre-Hydrated versus One Dried Acellular Porcine Dermal Matrix. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15051937. [PMID: 35269168 PMCID: PMC8911924 DOI: 10.3390/ma15051937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the direct and indirect cytotoxicity of a porcine dried acellular dermal matrix (PDADM) versus a porcine hydrated acellular dermal matrix (PHADM) in vitro. Both are used for periodontal and peri-implant soft tissue regeneration. Materials and methods: Two standard direct cytotoxicity tests—namely, the Trypan exclusion method (TEM) and the reagent WST-1 test (4-3-[4-iodophenyl]-2-[4-nitrophenyl]-2H-[5-tetrazolio]-1,3-benzol-desulphonated)—were performed using human primary mesenchymal stem cells (HPMSCs) seeded directly onto a PDADM and PHADM after seven days. Two standard indirect cytotoxicity tests—namely, lactate dehydrogenase (LTT) and MTT (3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide)—were performed using HPMSCs cultivated in eluates from the matrices incubated for 0.16 h (10 min), 1 h, and 24 h in a serum-free cell culture medium. Results: The WST and the TEM tests revealed significantly lower direct cytotoxicity values of HPMSCs on the PHADM compared with the PDADM. The indirect cytotoxicity levels were low for both the PHADM and PDADM, peaking in short-term eluates and decreasing with longer incubation times. However, they were lower for the PHADM with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.005). Conclusions: The results of the current study demonstrated a different biologic behavior between the PHADM and the PDADM, with the hydrated form showing a lower direct and indirect cytotoxicity.

Correlation between Peri-Implant Marginal Bone Loss Progression and Peri-Implant Sulcular Fluid Levels of Metalloproteinase-8. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12010058. [PMID: 35055373 PMCID: PMC8781957 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12010058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 12/31/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze peri-implant marginal bone loss levels/rates and peri-implant sulcular fluid levels/rates of metalloproteinase-8 in three timeframes (6 months post-surgery—restoration delivery (T0)—and 6 (T6) and 24 (T24)-months post-loading) and to evaluate if there is a correlation between peri-implant sulcular fluid levels of metalloproteinase-8 and peri-implant marginal bone loss progression. Materials and Methods: Two cohorts of patients undergoing implant surgery between January 2017 and January 2019 were selected in this retrospective study. A total of 39 patients received 39 implants with a laser-microtextured collar surface, and 41 subjects received 41 implants with a machined/smooth surface. For each patient, periapical radiographs and a software package were used to measure marginal bone loss rates. Implant fluid samples were analyzed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. The modified plaque index, probing depth, and bleeding on probing were also recorded. Results: High marginal bone rates at T24 were strongly associated with elevated rates between T0 and T6. The levels of metalloproteinase-8 were significantly more elevated around implants with marginal bone loss, in relation to implants without marginal bone loss. Marginal bone loss (MBL) rates at 24 months were associated with initial bone loss rates and initial levels of metalloproteinase-8. Conclusions: Peri-implant marginal bone loss progression is statistically correlated to peri-implant sulcular fluid levels of metalloproteinase-8. Moreover, the initial high levels of marginal bone loss and metalloproteinase-8 can be considered as indicators of the subsequent progression of peri-implant MBL: implants with increased marginal bone loss rates and metalloproteinase-8 levels at 6 months after loading are likely to achieve additional marginal bone loss values.

Long-Term (> 15 Years) Postrestorative Outcomes of Surgical Crown Lengthening Associated with Early Postsurgical Physiologically Oriented Crevicular Repreparation (POCR) Technique in Esthetic Areas. INT J PERIODONT REST 2021; 41:845-854.

Abstract
Surgical crown lengthening (SCL) is indicated to reestablish the biologic width and to increase the extent of supragingival tooth structure for restorative or esthetic purposes. The present study aimed to evaluate the postrestorative conditions and positional changes of the periodontal tissues following SCL 15 years or more after surgery. Moreover, an early postsurgical physiologically oriented crevicular tooth repreparation (POCR) approach for surgical and restorative phases of the SCL procedure is described. Eighteen patients who needed SCL to gain retention necessary for prosthetic treatment, or previous prosthetic margins, were included. During surgery, the bone level was reduced based on the future prosthetic margin and predetermined biologic width; flaps were placed at the bony crest. Relined temporary acrylic resin crowns were delivered 7 to 10 days postsurgery, and definitive crowns were delivered 9 months postsurgery. Patients were examined at baseline (BSL); at 3, 6, and 9 months postoperatively; and at each yearly recall visit. The following parameters were evaluated: Plaque and Gingival Indices, free gingival margin, width and thickness of the keratinized gingiva, probing depth, attachment level, bone level, direct bone level, and biologic width. Sixteen patients completed the study. No significant change in the position of the free gingival margin and periodontal parameters were seen from 9 months to > 15 years. Biologic width at 9 months was smaller compared to BSL (-0.06 ± 0.02 mm) and gradually increased during the follow-up period, almost reaching the initial levels at the examinations > 15 years later. The described SCL technique obtained a consistent 3-mm gain of coronal tooth structure and was successful in maintaining stable periodontal tissue conditions, reestablishing the biologic width to its original vertical dimension after 15 years.

Sulcus fluid volume, IL-6, and Il-1b concentrations in periodontal and peri-implant tissues comparing machined and laser-microtextured collar/abutment surfaces during 12 weeks of healing: A split-mouth RCT. Clin Oral Implants Res 2021; 33:94-104.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare gingival tissue healing at surgically manipulated periodontal sites and at sites receiving implants and healing abutments with machined (MS) vs laser-microtextured (LMS) surface placed with one-stage protocol. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four non-smoking patients each received two implants with one-stage protocol in a split-mouth design on the same jaw. In each patient, one implant with a MS collar and one immediate healing abutment with a MS, and one implant with a LMS collar and one immediate healing abutment with a LMS were used. Soft tissues healing at surgically manipulated periodontal tissues (T+) and at non-surgically manipulated periodontal tissues (T-) at MS implant sites and at LMS implant sites were compared by means of clinical and biochemical parameters at baseline and at 1-2-3-4-6-8 and 12 weeks. RESULTS PD and BoP mean values were statistically higher in MS than LMS implant sites (p<0.05). During early healing phase (1-4 weeks), MS and LMS peri-implant tissues and periodontal tissues at T(+) showed no statistically significant difference in crevicular fluid volume changes (p>0.05). Between 6 and 12 weeks, compared with T(+), no statistically significant difference in crevicular fluid volume and IL-6 and IL-1β concentrations was noted in LMS implant sites (p>0.05), while statistically significantly higher mean values were noted in MS implant sites (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared with T(+) and T(-), both MS and LMS implant sites presented a higher pro-inflammatory state in the early phase after surgery (1-4 weeks). At 12 weeks, only MS implant sites kept a higher pro-inflammatory state, while at LMS implant sites, it becomes similar to T(+) and T(-).

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Microimaging for the Qualitative Assessment of Root Canal Treatment: An Ex Vivo Preliminary Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:1012.

Abstract
AIM To assess the potential ability of nuclear magnetic resonance micro-imaging (mMRI) to visualize and identify soft tissue debris and unfilled spaces inside radicular canals in endodontic treated extracted teeth, for understanding the causes of treatment failure. Toward this goal, multi-parametric mMRI and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) were compared. METHODOLOGY A non-recoverable root treated human tooth was extracted due to endodontic failure and excessive mobility. It was examined with both CBCT and mMRI: CBCT was performed with 0.125 mm voxel size (GXCB-500, Kavo-Gendex, Brea, CA, USA) and mMRI was performed with a spectrometer operating at 9.4T magnetic field (Bruker Avance-400, Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA). The mMRI images were obtained with a microimaging probe. Relaxation times (T1 and T2) and diffusion-weighted acquisition sequences were used to obtain multi-parametric maps of the extracted tooth (slice thickness of 200 µm and in plane resolution of 30 × 30 µm2). RESULTS T1 and T2 maps identified unfilled spaces around and close to Gutta-percha cones instead of CBCT images that were not able to highlight this aspect. T1, T2 and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) assumed different values in dentine and in voids, characterized by different dimensions. Moreover, they were able to discriminate between infiltrations of water only and deposits of biological material. Because Gutta-percha cones are constituted of hard, non-porous material, they do not provide a signal and in mMRI images appear as zones of noise. CONCLUSIONS Unlike the CBCT exam, mMRI can detect soft tissue debris and unfilled spaces inside radicular canals. Therefore, this in vitro study showed the potential of mMRI to evaluate the quality of the root canal treatment, suggesting its potential benefit in determining the causes of endodontic failure, without the use of ionizing radiation.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the longevity of teeth and implants during a long-term period in a cohort of periodontally compromised patients, treated and maintained in a private specialist periodontal practice, and to analyze the associated risk factors. Fifty-eight patients (30 men, 28 women) who had received active periodontal therapy (APT) and regular periodontal maintenance (PM) ≥ 10 years were included and evaluated. The following were evaluated: (1) statistically significant differences of clinical parameters assessed at six tooth or implant sites (plaque scores, bleeding score, periodontal probing depth, bleeding on probing, and gingival recession) and radiographic parameters (mesial and distal bone crest loss) between patients with and without tooth/implant loss during PM; and (2) associations between the number of teeth and implants lost and potential risk factors. During PM, the overall average tooth loss was 0.07 teeth/patient/year (0.04 teeth/patient/year for periodontal reasons), while the overall average implant loss was 0.4 implants/patient/year. The overall implant failure was 10.08%, and the rate of implant failure due to biologic reasons was 9.8%. Incidence of implant failures in patients with vs without recurrent periodontal disease was 83.3% vs 16.7% (P < .05). Results showed that in chronic periodontitis patients, ATP followed by long-term PM is successful in keeping the majority of periodontally compromised teeth. In the same patients, a higher tendency for implant loss than tooth loss was found.

Evaluation of peri-implant tissues condition after 10-15 years of loading in treated chronic periodontitis patients attending a private practice setting: A retrospective study. Clin Oral Implants Res 2021; 32:422-436.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To retrospectively evaluate the conditions of the peri-implant tissues in treated patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and in patients without chronic periodontitis (noCP). MATERIALS AND METHODS A chart review was used to evaluate 267 implants, 134 placed in 42 CP treated patients and 133 placed in 46 noCP patients. The primary outcome was to evaluate the condition of the peri-implant tissues (health, peri-mucositis, and peri-implantitis). The secondary outcome was to evaluate the possible association of some variables, such as, Plaque Index (PI), Bleeding Index (BI), probing pocket depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BoP), bone level (BL), loading time, type of implant placement and loading protocol, type of prosthesis, type of bone, implant manufacturer, and implant diameter and length, with the implant health condition. RESULTS The analysis of patient files revealed that after 10-15 years of loading (mean loading time 13.4 ± 2.07 years), six noCP patients (13%) experienced implant loss with a total of nine implants (6.7%) lost. The remaining 124 implants were classified: 54 (43.5%) as healthy, 45 (36.3%) with peri-implant mucositis, and 25 (20.2%) with peri-implantitis. Twelve CP subjects (28.5%) experienced implant loss with a total of 19 implants (14.1%) lost. The remaining 115 implants were classified: 34 (29.5%) as healthy, 40 (34.7%) with peri-implant mucositis and 41 (35.6%) with peri-implantitis. Compared with noCP subjects, only treated CP subjects with recurrent periodontal disease (RPD) showed differences statistically significant (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS After 10-15 years of loading, in CP patients treated in a private practice setting, most implants (70.1%) were classified with some type of peri-implant inflammation. In patients with RPD, a higher tendency for implant loss and peri-implant biologic complications was found.

Implants with a Laser-microgrooved Collar Placed in Grafted Posterior Maxillary Extraction Sockets and in Crestally Grafted Sinuses: a 5-Year Multicentre Retrospective Study. J Oral Maxillofac Res 2020; 11:e2. [PMID: 33598110 PMCID: PMC7875103 DOI: 10.5037/jomr.2020.11402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Objectives The aim of this retrospective multicentre cohort study was to compare clinical outcomes, soft tissues conditions and differences in marginal bone loss between implants with a laser-microgrooved collar placed in posterior maxillary extraction sockets grafted by 4 to 5 months, and in posterior maxillary pristine bone (spontaneously healed posterior maxillary extraction sockets) by means of osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation, over a period of 5 years after functional loading. Material and Methods Patients of Group 1 underwent extractions with sockets preservation using porcine-derived bone, covered with collagen membrane. Group 2 underwent extractions without socket preservation. Patients of Group 1 received implants in grafted sites, and Group 2 received implants in spontaneously healed bone using a maxillary sinus lift with crestal approach. Results Over the observation period, the overall clinical success rate in Group 1 and Group 2 was 98% and 100%, respectively, with no differences between the procedures and implants used. Cumulative radiographic marginal bone loss ranged from 0.03 to 0.39 mm after 60 months of functional loading. There were no statistically significant differences in marginal bone loss between short and standard-length implants placed in grafted extraction sockets and in pristine bone. Conclusions Short and standard implants with a laser-microgrooved collar, placed in posterior maxillary extraction sockets grafted by 4 to 5 months, and in posterior maxillary pristine bone (spontaneously healed posterior maxillary extraction sockets) by means of osteotome-mediated sinus floor elevation, exhibited no statistical difference in success rate, clinical parameters and marginal bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Marginal bone loss (MBL) represents an important indicator of peri-implant health and the measure of its level is considered a determining factor in the evaluation of the quality of survival. Aim of this study is to compare radiographic changes in the fractal and mesial/distal vertical dimensions of peri-implant trabecular bone of dental implants with a laser-ablated micron-scale modication (LAM) of collar surface after a 5-year follow-up period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four implants with LAM of collar surface (test group = TG) and 31 implants without LAM of collar surface (control group = CG) were placed in 45 non-smoking, periodontally healthy patients. Fractal and vertical dimensions of peri-implant trabecular bone were measured by comparing radiographs taken immediately after prosthesis delivery with those taken 3 years and 5 years after functional loading. RESULT At the end of the 5-year follow-up, the MBL in the TG was 0.87±0.21 and 0.75±0.25 mm at the mesial and distal aspects, respectively, while a MBL of 2.05±0.25 mm at the mesial aspect and 2.01±0.34 mm at the distal site was recorded in the CG. A statistically significant difference was noted. In the TG the mean fractal dimension before loading was 1.4213±0.0525. It increased significantly to 1.4329±0.0479 at 3 years after loading and remained almost stable at 5 years after loading (1.4327±0.0291). In the CG the mean fractal dimension before loading was 1.4119±0.0414. It increased significantly to 1.4282±0.0324 at 3 years after loading and decreased significantly to 1.4111±0.0624 at 5 years after loading. At the end of the follow-up, differences between both study groups were statistically significant. CONCLUSION The increased fractal dimension and the reduced MBL around TG implants after 5 years of functional loading indicates a positive effect of a laser-ablated micron-scale modication of collar surface on peri-implant trabecular bone remodeling.

Abstract
PURPOSE This nonrandomized, retrospective multicenter study aimed to evaluate success rates, peri-implant marginal bone loss, and clinical parameters around single implants with and without laser-microgrooved collars placed and loaded using different protocols after 7 to 10 years of function. MATERIALS AND METHODS A chart review was used to select patients treated at five private dental clinics with single dental implants with and without laser-microgrooved collars. Cumulative success rates, peri-implant marginal bone loss, probing depth, Plaque Index, bleeding on probing, and gingival recession were recorded at baseline examinations (ie, definitive restoration delivery) and at each year during the follow-up period. RESULTS Three hundred single implants (140 without laser-microgrooved collars and 160 with 1.7-mm laser-microgrooved collars) in 300 patients were selected. At the completion of the study period, 26 patients and 26 implants (17 with and 9 without a laser-microgrooved collar) were classified as "dropouts." Implants and restorations were categorized into two subgroups each for a total of four study groups: group 1, immediate implant placement; group 2, delayed implant placement; group 3, immediate nonocclusal loading of prostheses; and group 4, delayed loading of prostheses. Nineteen implants (6.9%) failed clinically (4 [2.7%] with and 15 [11.4%] without a laser-microgrooved collar). The difference in cumulative success rates was statistically significant (P < .05). Radiographically, at the end of the follow-up period, the laser-microgrooved group showed a mean peri-implant marginal bone loss of 0.64 mm compared with 1.82 mm for the non-laser-microgrooved group. At the same time point, a mean probing depth of 0.76 mm was observed for the laser-microgrooved group compared with 2.75 mm for the non-laser-microgrooved group. A statistically significant difference in peri-implant marginal bone loss and probing depth between the two types of implant collars was evident (P < .05). No statistically significant correlation was noted between the types of implant placement/prosthetic restoration and clinical parameters. CONCLUSION Implants with a laser-microgrooved collar appear to influence the peri-implant soft and hard tissue stability, reducing the probing depth levels and the peri-implant marginal bone loss by more than 50% after 10 years of function, regardless of the type of implant placement and loading protocol.

Abstract
Objectives:
The progressive peri-implant bone remodeling caused by dynamic cycles of microdamage may change peri-implant bone characteristics and volume after the functional loading.
This prospective study was designed to evaluate the radiographic trabecular bone density and peri-implant vertical dimensional changes around the non submerged dental implant with a laser-microtextured collar (NSLI)s after 5 years of functional loading.
Methods:
Digital periapical radiographs of 58 NSLIs supported fixed single crowns and fixed partial dentures in 26 patients (14 men, mean age of 52 ± 3.8 years) were used for comparative evaluation between the implant placement [Baseline (BSL)], the definitive Crowns Delivery (CD) and the 5 years post-functional loading examination (T5). Regions of interest (ROI) were taken into consideration for the measurement of mean gray levels, standard deviation, and variation coefficient. The texture parameters, such as contrast, correlation, angular second moment and entropy, were investigated by using the software ImageJ (v.1.50i), by means of the Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) Texture Tool plugin. Vertical Peri-implant Marginal Bone Level (VPMBL) was assessed at the mesial and the distal sides of each implant by subtracting the measure at BSL from the measure at T5 by means of dedicate software (VixWin Platinum Imaging Software). Mixed regression models were adopted to analyze data. The possible effects of some variables, such as the use of provisional denture, location, crown/implant ratio, type of prosthetic design (single or splinted), on radiographic dimensional vertical changes, gray levels and texture analysis variables were also evaluated.
Results:
From BSL to T5, mesial and distal VPMBL showed a statistically significant gain of 0.9 ±0.5, and 0.10 mm ±0.6, respectively (P<0.05). From CD to T5, mean gray levels increased from 94.4±26.8) to 111.8±27.1 (P<0.05), while the coefficient of variation decreased from 0.08±0,03 to 0.05±0.04) (P<0.05). Variables showed no statistically significant correlation with texture parameters (P > 0.05).
Conclusion:
NSLIs showed an increase in radiographic vertical peri-implant marginal bone levels and bone density up to 5 years of loading.

Abstract
Background The aim of the present study was to radiographically evaluate the vertical socket walls changes, and the peri-implant marginal bone remodelling, and clinicallly the soft tissues conditions around the non-submerged single implants placed into the inter radicular septum of mandibular molar sockets, associated with a collagen membrane, after 3 years of loading.
Material and Methods Thirty patients underwent to placement of a non-submerged implants with a laser-microtextured collar into the inter radicular septum of mandibular molar fresh extraction sockets. A collagen membrane and the mucoperiosteal flap were adapted around the neck of the implants, leaving the laser-microtextured collar to heal in a transmucosal fashion.
Results At the end of the follow-up period, no statistical differences were found for each radiographic measurements used for the examination of extraction sockets vertical bone changes. Compared to implants placement, at the end of the 3-year follow-up, the vertical radiographic mesial and distal peri-implant marginal bone levels showed a statistically significant gain of 0.9 (SD 0.5), and 1.0 mm (SD 0.6), respectively (P=0.037).
Conclusions In mandibular fresh extraction sockets, the method of GBR around transmucosal implants with laser-microtextured surface placed into the interadicular septum may be used successfully to counteract the ridge remodelling. Key words:Non-submerged implants, GBR, laser-microtextured collar.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe and illustrate the histologic characteristics of luting cement-induced peri-implantitis in the posterior maxilla of a 56-year-old man. CASE PRESENTATION A dental implant inserted 6 years previously in the maxillary left first premolar region revealed pus and swelling. A periapical radiograph showed severe bone loss around the dental implant, and the presence of surrounding residual particles of luting cement. The implant was removed with its adjacent tissues. The harvested implant was fixed in formaldehyde solution (formalin). A 4-mm fragment of soft tissue and a 6-mm fragment of bone were cut from the implant specimen and submitted for routine processing of hematoxylin-eosin (h&e) slides for histologic analysis. The implant specimen was processed and embedded in glycol methacrylate resin and ground to a thickness of 50 µm for histologic examination. RESULTS The microscopic examination of the h&e slides showed connective tissue with an inflammatory infiltrate composed of histiocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. There was a fragment of viable bone integrated with the bone graft material. The bone showed evidence of active resorption by osteoclasts in Howship lacunae. The implant sections showed trabecular bone with lamellar structure in the apical portion. Foreign body, compatible with luting cement, was present in the coronal portion, adjacent to the threads of the implant, as well as osteoclasts in Howship lacunae. CONCLUSION This report, documenting a case of peri-implantitis associated with excess cement extrusion, revealed that that the bone loss was associated with an inflammatory infiltrate. Additional studies focusing on the histopathologic characteristics of peri-implantitis could help to increase the knowledge of peri-implant disease to shed light on prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate and compare radiographic crestal bone loss (CBL) and soft tissue parameters around submerged/two-stage and nonsubmerged/one-stage single implants with the same endosseous portion (body design and surface, thread design and distance) and identical intramucosal laser-microgrooved surface, after 3 years of loading. Materials and methods Twenty submerged/two-stage implants and 20 nonsubmerged/one-stage implants were placed randomly with a split-mouth design in the posterior areas of 20 partially edentulous patients. Radiographic and clinical examinations were carried out at the implant placement, at the delivery of prosthetic restorations, and at each year of the follow-up period. Plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and gingival recession (REC) were recorded. Radiographic crestal bone levels were assessed at the mesial and distal aspect of the implant sites. In addition, the influence of the vertical keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) on CBL was investigated. Results At the delivery of prosthetic restorations, a statistically significant difference (P = 0.013) was found in radiographic mean CBL between submerged and nonsubmerged implants (0.15 ± 0.05 mm vs. 0.11 ± 0.04 mm). At the end of the follow-up period, no statistical difference (P = 0.741) was found in the mean CBL between submerged and nonsubmerged implants (0.27 ± 04 mm vs. 0.26 ± 0.5 mm). The changes in the soft tissues including PI, PD, BOP, and REC had no significant differences in either group. Moreover, KTT did not show a statistical correlation with CBL. Conclusions After 3 years of loading, no statistical difference was noted in CBL and soft tissue conditions between single submerged two-stage and nonsubmerged one-stage laser-microgrooved implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the radiographic and clinical results and the success rate of short implants with a laser-microgrooved collar (≤7.5 mm) placed in the posterior areas after up to 3 to 5 years of function and the possible influence of several variables-such as gender, periodontitis, smoking habit, location, implant stability at placement, and prosthetic fixation design-on implant marginal bone loss (MBL). MATERIALS AND METHODS A chart review was used for this multicenter study, which involved 5 private dental clinics. All patients had been treated with short dental implants with a laser-microgrooved collar from January 2012 to December 2015. RESULTS A total of 174 patients (99 male and 75 female patients; mean age, 51.6 ± 2.8 years) with 254 implants were evaluated. Seven short implants failed. The cumulative success rate was 97.2%, without a statistically significant difference between implants placed in the posterior maxilla and mandible. The mean MBL was 0.18 ± 0.7 mm at the mesial aspect and 0.19 ± 0.6 mm at the distal aspect. No statistical relationships were found between MBL and gender, periodontitis, smoking habit, location, implant stability at placement, and prosthetic fixation design. CONCLUSIONS At the end of the 3- to 5-year follow-up period, short implants with a laser-microgrooved collar (≤7.5 mm) in the posterior areas yielded a relatively high cumulative success rate. The laser-microgrooved collar implant maintained stable marginal bone levels. No investigated variable was statistically associated with MBL.

Abstract
The aim of the present randomized study was to radiographically evaluate the early marginal bone remodeling (EMBR) around one-stage implants with a collar surface that is laser-microtextured (LM), placed with the mirograp/interface at different levels relative to the bone crest, and to clinically evaluate the influence of keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) on outcomes. Thirty partially edentulous patients were selected to each receive at least two one-stage implants with LM collars placed at different depth levels in the mandible and maxilla: one implant placed at an equicrestal level (E group) and one implant placed at a supracrestal level (SP group). Rank-based analysis of variance test was used for statistical comparison between groups. Before loading, the E and SP groups showed a mean marginal bone loss of 0.03 ± 0.04 mm and 0.02 ± 0.03 mm, respectively, without a statistically significant difference (P > .05) between the groups. Moreover, no statistically significant correlation between EMBR and the amount of KTT was found (P > .05). Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that neither the vertical position of the microgap/interface of one-stage implants with an LM surface nor the thickness of keratinized tissue around the implant site influences the amount of EMBR.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate, by means of intraoral periapical radiographs and cone-beam computed tomography, hard tissue changes after ridge augmentation procedures in posterior extraction sockets with severe wall defects. Material and Methods Twenty patients, with a non-restorable premolar/molar tooth and severe wall defect, were enrolled in the present study, and underwent single-tooth extraction. Extraction sites were grafted with porcine-derived bone covered by porcine-derived collagen membrane. Intraoral periapical radiographs and cone-beam computed tomography scans, obtained at enrolment, and 6 months after ridge augmentation procedures were analysed and compared. Results In the intraoral periapical radiographs, mean vertical bone gains detected at the distal, central and mesial aspects of the extraction sockets were 3.5 (SD 1.1) mm, 8.2 (SD 2.1) mm, and 3.9 (SD 1.7) mm, respectively. In the cone-beam computed tomography scans, the mean vertical bone gains detected at the more vestibular and more palatal aspects were 4.4 (SD 1.9) mm, and 3.3 (SD 2.8) mm, respectively. The mean horizontal bone gain was 3.5 (SD 1.6) mm. In all examined defects, mean vertical and horizontal bone levels showed a statistically significant increase (P < 0.05) at 6 months after extraction. Conclusions Within the limits of this study, the results suggest that porcine-derived bone graft covered by a collagen membrane can support significant vertical and horizontal bone gain at posterior post-extraction sockets with severe wall defects.

Abstract
Background The clinical outcome of full arch fixed prostheses vs. full arch telescopic-retained retrievable prostheses supported by implants and natural tooth abutments in periodontally treated patients has been reported by few studies, with controversial results. The objective of this study was to evaluate long-term (15 years) complications of abutment teeth and dental implants in periodontally treated patients, rehabilitated with full arch telescopic-retained retrievable prostheses (TRP)s vs. full arch fixed prostheses (FP)s supported by teeth and implants. Material and Methods After active periodontal therapy (non-surgical and surgical), and implant placement (replacement of hopeless teeth and in edentulous sites), 18 patients were rehabilitated in both dental arches with full arch TRPs, and 17 patients were rehabilitated with full arch FPs. Patients were annually recalled for technical and/or biological complications monitoring. Results During the 15-year observation period, 29 of 164 (17.6%) implants failed in the TRP group and 26 of 152 (17.1 %) implants in the FP group. Due to progression of periodontal disease, endo-perio untreatable lesion and caries, 22 of 233 abutment teeth were extracted (8.1) % in the TRP group and 23 of 221 (10.4%) abutment teeth were extracted in the FP group. Difference in implant failures and abutment teeth loss between the two groups were found not statistically significant (p >0.05).
Poisson regression analysis showed that in both groups, factors such as smoking habits, FMBS>20, number of pockets >6 mm, mean bone loss, and bone loss/age, contribute to tooth and implant failure (p<0.05). Conclusions In this clinical study, in periodontally treated patients, full arch telescopic-retained retrievable prostheses, and full arch fixed prosthesis, supported by teeth and implants presented comparable long-term results of tooth loss and implant failure, if regular periodontal therapy is implemented. Key words:Periodontal disease, implants, tooth-implant connection, telescopic prosthesis, fixed prosthesis.

Abstract
Background The displacement of a third molar is a rare occurrence, but it could lead to serious and/or life threatening complication. Aim of this review is to understand the most correlated causes of displacement and the possible solutions proposed in literature to avoid and solve this complication for maxillary and mandibular third molars at the appropriate time. Material and Methods A search for “third molar displacement” was performed by using Pubmed database. Articles referred to soft tissues displacement, from 1957 to 2018, were included in the review. The references lists of all eligible articles were examined and additional studies were added to the review only if indexed on Pubmed. All the articles on maxillary sinus displacement and the dislocation of dental fragments or surgical equipment were excluded. Results From a total of 134 results, 68 articles were examined for satisfying inclusion criteria. 18 articles were excluded because not inherent with the topic; 19 articles on infratemporal space, 11 on sublingual space, 9 on submandibular space, 11 on lateral pharyngeal space displacement were considered congruent for the review and included. Conclusions The displacement of the third molar in deeper tissues could be avoided by the use of proper surgical procedures and instrumentarium. If displacement occurs, and the operator could not reach the tooth in safe conditions, the patient should be immediately referred to a maxillo-facial surgeon, because of the possibility of further displacement or the onset of hazardous or potentially fatal infections in vital regions. Key words:Third molar, wisdom tooth, maxillary, mandibular, displacement.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2018; 21:52-59. [PMID: 30475431 DOI: 10.1111/cid.12693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2018] [Accepted: 10/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIM To clinically, biochemically, and microbiologically evaluate the influence of crown margins position on one-stage laser-microgrooved implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one-stage titanium implants with a laser-microgrooved collar surface, supporting screwed, single crown restorations, were placed in 20 partially edentulous patients and evaluated. Clinical parameters included modified plaque index, modified gingival index, peri-implant probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, and distance between implant shoulder and mucosal margin. The parameters were recorded at baseline (crowns delivery) and at every 6-month recall visit, until the end of the 3 years follow-up period. At the same time intervals, radiographic marginal bone levels were assessed at the mesial and distal aspect of the implant sites. For biochemical analysis, the volume of the peri-implant sulcus fluid, and its levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and of tumor necrosis factor-α, were utilized to evaluate the peri-implant health conditions at the end of the 3-year follow-up period. At the same time, microbiological analysis, including the concentration of five putative periodontal pathogens (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythensis), were assessed. The crown margins positions were classified into four groups (A = intracrevicular position >2 mm, B = intracrevicular position ≤2 mm/<1 mm, C = intracrevicular position ≤1 mm/<0 mm, and D = extracrevicular position), and the biochemical, and microbiological parameters were evaluated at 3 years. RESULTS No statistical differences of clinical and biochemical parameters were found between the four groups. In group A, compared to groups B, C, and D, a statistically significant higher concentration of putative periodontal pathogens was found. CONCLUSIONS Results showed that the intracrevicular deeper position of the restoration margin does not influence the clinical and biochemical peri-implant parameters. The deeper position of the crown margin is associated with a greater amount of putative periodontal pathogenic microflora colonization.

One-stage laser-microtextured implants immediately placed in the inter-radicular septum of molar fresh extraction sockets associated with GBR technique. A case series study. J Clin Exp Dent 2018; 10:e996-e1002. [PMID: 30386506 PMCID: PMC6203904 DOI: 10.4317/jced.54705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2018] [Accepted: 07/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The outcome of one-stage trans-mucosal immediate implants with simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique has become highly predictable. Furthermore, when this approach is performed to place one-stage implants into the inter-radicular septum of fresh extraction sockets in the molar region, the risk of incorrect emergence profile and off-angle loading is reduced. The aim of the present study was to clinically evaluate the horizontal hard and soft tissue changes, and radiographically the vertical socket walls remodeling, and the early peri-implant marginal bone loss (EMBL) following the placement of immediate one-stage implants in the inter-radicular septum of molar fresh extraction sockets, associated with a collagen membrane. Material and Methods Twenty patients were selected to receive a one-stage implant with laser-microtextured collar surface into the inter-radicular septum of a fresh molar extraction sockets, associated with a simultaneous placement of a collagen membrane. Intraoral radiographs and model casts were used for the evaluation. Correlation between the amount of the keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) with EMBL was also analyzed. Results After 4 months, the vertical radiographic mesial and distal EMBL around implants was of 0.06 ±0.01 mm and 0.04±0.02 mm, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between T0 and T1 (P >0.05). No statistical differences were found also for each radiographic measure used for the examination of implant sites vertical bone changes (p >0.05). Clinically, horizontal changes of the bucco-lingual central width were found statistically significant (p<0.05), whereas no statistical differences were found for bucco-lingual mesial and distal width changes (p >0.05). In addition, no statistically significant correlation between EMBL and the amount of KTT was found (P >0.05). Conclusions Results suggest that the immediate placement of one-stage laser-microtextured implants could provide advantages in preserving the extraction socket's hard and soft tissue remodeling, and the peri-implant marginal bone level before the prosthetic loading. Key words:One-stage implant, laser-microtextured collar surface, GBR, collagen membrane.

Abstract
Advanced periodontal disease is often associated with severe loss of tooth support, necessitating prosthetic rehabilitation to restore function and esthetics. For tooth-supported restorations, periodontally compromised teeth may need to be extracted due to early failure from functional overload. For tooth/implant-supported restorations, implants can be used to reduce the overload on teeth and to avoid tooth extraction, bone augmentation, or other risks associated with implant placement. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of full-arch, retrievable, telescopic-retained prostheses (TRPs) on teeth and implants according to survival rate analyses and technical and biologic complications in full-mouth rehabilitation of periodontally compromised dentitions. A total of 18 periodontally compromised patients (7 women, 11 men) with a mean age of 46.8 years (SD: 6.3 years; range: 32 to 64 years) were selected to receive supplementary implants with the aim of extensive prosthetic support in combined tooth/implant TRPs and annually evaluated for technical and/or biologic failures/complications. After a follow-up period of 15 years, all prostheses were in function. Complication rates were low, and maintenance services were limited to minor interventions. Combined tooth/implant TRPs improve prosthetic support and offer successful function over the long term in patients with periodontally compromised dentition.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare survival rates, marginal bone loss (MBL), and peri-implant soft tissue parameters between short and standard laser-microgrooved implants supporting single or splinted crowns 3 years after loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS 30 subjects received 1 short ( ≤ 7 mm ) and 1 standard length ( ≥ 9 mm ) laser-microgrooved implant in adjacent sites of the premolar and molar regions of the mandible or maxilla. Peri-implant soft tissue parameters and intraoral radiographs were recorded at the delivery of definitive crowns (baseline) and 3 years later. Cumulative survival rate (CSR) and marginal bone loss (MBL) in relation to crown/implant (C/I) ratio, implant length, location, type of antagonist, and type of prosthetic design (single or splinted), were evaluated. RESULTS CSR of short implants was 98%, compared to 100% for standard implants, without significant statistical difference. MBL was not significantly different over the observation period, with an average of 0.23 ± 0.6 mm and 0.27 ± 0.3 mm for short and standard implants, respectively. No statistical differences were found between short and standard implants regarding plaque (14.7% vs. 15.7%), number of sites BOP (8.3% vs. 5.9%), probing depth (1.13 ± 0.6 mm vs. 1.04 ± 0.8 mm), and mean mucosal recession (0.18 ± 0.3 mm vs. 0.22 ± 0.3 mm). Analyzing MBL in relation to the C/I ratio, implant length, location, type of antagonist, and type of prosthetic design, no statistically significant differences were found. CONCLUSION Regardless of C/I ratio, implant length, location, type of antagonist, and type of prosthetic design, short and standard laser-microgrooved implants had similar survival rates, MBL, and peri-implant soft tissue conditions over the observation period of 3 years.

Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate the incidence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis around dental implants with the same body design and surface but different collar surface (laser-microgrooved vs not laser-microgrooved) after 5 years of loading in private practice patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was carried out on patients at a private dental clinic enrolled in a periodontal maintenance program, who received at least one implant with a laser-microgrooved collar surface and one implant without a laser-microgrooved collar surface. Clinical variables such as plaque, pocket depth, bleeding on probing, suppuration, and radiographic marginal bone loss at > 5 years around implants were investigated. The correlation between the prevalence of peri-implant mucositis/peri-implantitis and biotype, keratinized tissue width, prosthetic connection type, and prosthetic design type was also analyzed. RESULTS A total of 166 implants in 74 patients were investigated. At the end of the 5-year follow-up period, 38 implants presented peri-implant mucositis, accounting for 22.8% of the total, affecting a total of 24 patients (32.4%), while 13 implants (7.8%) in 10 patients (13.5%) were diagnosed with peri-implantitis. Sixteen of 82 laser-microgrooved implants (19.5%) and 24 of 84 implants (28.5%) without a laser-microgrooved collar presented peri-implant mucositis, while 3 of 82 (3.6%) of laser-microgrooved implants and 10 of 84 (11.9%) implants without a laser-microgrooved collar demonstrated peri-implantitis. Differences in implant-based incidence of peri-implant diseases between implants with and without a laser-microgrooved collar were statistically significant (P < .05). CONCLUSION In private practice patients enrolled in a professional, controlled oral hygiene regimen, implants with a laser-microgrooved collar, compared with implants without a laser-microgrooved collar, presented a statistically significantly lower incidence of peri-implant diseases.

Bone Healing in Extraction Sockets Covered With Collagen Membrane Alone or Associated With Porcine-Derived Bone Graft: a Comparative Histological and Histomorphometric Analysis. EJOURNAL OF ORAL MAXILLOFACIAL RESEARCH 2017; 8:e4. [PMID: 29435206 PMCID: PMC5806041 DOI: 10.5037/jomr.2017.8404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2017] [Accepted: 12/30/2017] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Objectives The present paper reports data of a randomized study aimed to analyse and compare the histologic and histomorphometric aspects of bone healing in extraction sites covered with collagen membrane alone or associated with porcine-derived bone graft. Material and Methods Thirty patients, with single extraction sockets without severe bone wall defects in the premolar/molar region, were included. Ten extraction sockets were grafted with porcine-derived bone and covered with collagen membrane (group 1), 10 sites were covered with collagen membrane alone (group 2), and 10 sites healed spontaneously (group 3). After 4 months of healing, 26 (8 in group 1, 9 in group 2, and 9 in group 3) bone core specimens were harvested for histologic evaluation, then dental implants were placed. Results Sites in the group 1 and in the group 2 showed similar histologic and histomorphometric results without significantly differences in the percentage of vital bone (57.43% [SD 4.8] vs. 60.01% [SD 3.2]), and non-mineralized connective tissue 22.99% (SD 5.3) vs. 18.53% (SD 6.2). In group 1 a 16.57% (SD 3.8) of residual material was found. Conclusions Results showed that the use of collagen membrane alone or associated to porcine-derived bone improves the healing bone process compared to that of extraction sites spontaneously healed. Moreover, histomorphometric data related to bone quality, indicated that extraction sites without severe walls defects and with a vestibular bone thickness > 1.5 mm, treated with a low resorbtion rate collagen membrane alone, do not need more than 4 months for dental implant insertion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of present randomized controlled clinical trial was to clinically evaluate hard tissue changes after extraction socket preservation procedures compared to natural spontaneous healing. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty patients were enrolled in the present study and underwent single-tooth extraction in the premolar/molar areas. Ten sites were grafted with porcine-derived bone covered by collagen membrane, 10 covered by porcine-derived collagen membrane alone, and 10 underwent natural spontaneous healing. Vertical and horizontal bone changes after 3-month were evaluated at implant placement. RESULTS The vertical and horizontal bone changes at the extraction sockets treated with collagen membrane alone (vertical: -0.55 [SD 0.11] mm, and horizontal: -1.21 [SD 0.69] mm) and collagen membrane plus porcine-derived bone (vertical: -0.37 [SD 0.7] mm, and horizontal: -0.91 [SD 0.53] mm) were found significantly lower (P < 0.001), when compared to non-grafted sockets (vertical: -2.09 [SD 0.19] mm, and horizontal: -3.96 [SD 0.87] mm).In type 1 extraction sockets, in premolar sites, and in presence of vestibular bone thicknesses ≥ 1.5 mm, the use of collagen membrane alone revealed similar outcomes to those with additional graft material. CONCLUSIONS At the re-entry surgery, extraction sockets grafted with porcine-derived bone and covered by collagen membrane, and extraction sockets covered by porcine-derived collagen membrane alone, showed significantly lower vertical and horizontal bone changes, compared to extraction sockets sites underwent natural spontaneous healing. However, a complete prevention of remodelling is not achievable, irrespective of the technique used.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of and determine the differences in periodonto-pathogenic microbiota around two types of implant collar surfaces: laser-microtextured (test) vs machined (control). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen patients (11 periodontally healthy, and 6 periodontally compromised) were selected to receive the two different implants, placed randomly, in two edentulous sites. Six months following the surgical placement of the dental implants, subgingival plaque samples were collected using paper points from the peri-implant sulcus and from the sulcus of an adjacent tooth. The presence of five putative periodontal pathogens, namely, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythensis, was assessed using real-time polymerized chain reaction (RT-PCR). Peri-implant parameters and intraoral radiographs were recorded up to 1 year after abutment connection. RESULTS In the main population, and in the periodontally compromised subgroup, the total number of periodontal pathogens around test implant sites was lower than control implant sites and adjacent tooth sites, with a statistically significant difference (P < .05). In periodontally healthy patients, the mean probing pocket depth for the test implant was 1.31 ± 0.51 mm, compared with 2.66 ± 0.83 mm for the control implant, while in periodontally compromised patients, it was 1.61 ± 0.58 mm for the test implant, compared with a mean value of 2.84 ± 1.0 mm for the control implant. CONCLUSION Implants with a laser-microtextured collar surface are not more vulnerable to pathogenic microflora colonization than implants with a machined collar surface. In both of the subgroups of patients (periodontally healthy and periodontally compromised), implants with a laser-microtextured collar surface have a better clinical outcome at 1 year of loading, compared with implants with a machined collar surface.

Abstract
The purpose of the present prospective randomized study was to evaluate the influence of Laser-Lok microtextured surface on soft tissue peri-implant parameters and esthetics around immediate, functionally loaded implants for single-tooth replacement in the esthetic zone. This study included 77 patients divided into two groups based on different implants used: the control group had BioHorizons tapered internal non-Laser-Lok-type implants (NLL; n = 39) and the test group had BioHorizons tapered internal Laser-Lok-type implants (LL; n = 39). Outcome measures were survival, radiographic marginal bone-level changes, soft tissue parameters, and esthetics. One implant was lost in the test group and one in the control group, for a total survival rate of 96.1% after 3 years. Radiographically, mean crestal bone loss ± standard deviation was 0.59 ± 0.27 mm in the LL group compared with 1.17 ± 0.31 mm in the NLL group. A mean gain in papilla level of 0.41 ± 0.34 mm and 0.17 ± 0.36 mm was observed in the LL and the NLL groups, respectively, while the level of the midfacial peri-implant mucosa remained stable in both groups with no statistically significant differences (0.08 ± 0.42 mm for the LL group vs 0.06 ± 0.36 mm for the NLL group). The mean probing depth values in the LL and NLL groups were 0.58 ± 0.2 mm and 1.89 ± 0.3 mm, respectively. Within the limitations of this study, it was demonstrated that the clinical and esthetic outcome of immediate functional loading was more favorable for LL implants than for NLL implants.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GC) released during stress response exert feedforward effects in the whole brain, but particularly in the limbic circuits that modulates cognition, emotion and behavior. GC are the most commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medication worldwide and pharmacological GC treatment has been paralleled by the high incidence of acute and chronic neuropsychiatric side effects, which reinforces the brain sensitivity for GC. Synapses can be bi-directionally modifiable via potentiation (long-term potentiation, LTP) or depotentiation (long-term depression, LTD) of synaptic transmission efficacy, and the phosphorylation state of Ser831 and Ser845 sites, in the GluA1 subunit of the glutamate AMPA receptors, are a critical event for these synaptic neuroplasticity events. Through a quasi-randomized controlled study, we show that a single high dexamethasone dose significantly reduces in a dose-dependent manner the levels of GluA1-Ser831 phosphorylation in the amygdala resected during surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy. This is the first report demonstrating GC effects on key markers of synaptic neuroplasticity in the human limbic system. The results contribute to understanding how GC affects the human brain under physiologic and pharmacologic conditions.

Abstract
Background The prevalence of impacted maxillary canine is reported to be between 1% and 3%.
The lack of monitoring and the delay in the treatment of the impacted canine can cause different complications such as: displacement of adjacent teeth, loss of vitality of neighbouring teeth, shortening of the dental arch, follicular cysts, canine ankylosis, recurrent infections, recurrent pain, internal resorption of the canine and the adjacent teeth, external resorption of the canine and the adjacent teeth, combination of these factors.
An appropriate diagnosis, accurate predictive analysis and early intervention are likely to prevent such undesirable effects. The objective is to evaluate, by means of a retrospective observational study, the possibility of carrying out a predictive analysis of root resorption adjacent to the impacted canines by means of orthopantomographs, so as to limit the prescription of additional 3D radiography. Material and Methods 120 subjects with unilateral or bilateral maxillary impacted canine were examined and 50 patients with 69 impacted maxillary canine (22 male, 28 female; mean age: 11.7 years) satisfied the inclusion criteria of the study. These patients were subjected to a basic clinical and radiographic investigation (orthopantomographs and computerized tomography). All panoramic films were viewed under standardized conditions for the evaluation of two main variables: maxillary canine angulations (a, b, g angles) and the overlapping between the impacted teeth and the lateral incisor (Analysis of Lindauer). Binary logistic regression was used to estimate the likelihood of resorbed lateral incisors depending on sector location and angle measurements. Results Results indicated that b angle has the greatest influence on the prediction of root resorption (predictive value of b angle = 76%). If β angle <18° and Lindauer = I, the probability of resorption is 0.06. Conclusions Evaluation of b angle and superimposition lateral incisor/impacted canine analysed on orthopantomographs could be one of the evaluation criteria for prescribing second level examination (CT and CTCB) and for detecting root resorption of impacted maxillary canine adjacent teeth. Key words:Impacted canine, root resorption, panoramic radiography, angulation, prediction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, radiographic and histologic results when a highly purified xenogenic bone (Laddec(®)) was used as grafting material in maxillary sinuses. MATERIAL AND METHODS In fifteen patients requiring unilateral maxillary sinus augmentation, the grafting procedure was performed with Laddec(®). Forty-two implants were installed after a 6 month healing period. The height of the augmented sinus was measured radiographically immediately after augmentation and postoperatively up to 36 months. At the time of implant placement, a bone core was harvested in each patient for histological examination. RESULTS The cumulative implant survival rate was 97.6%. The original height was 3.65 (SD 0.7) mm and the augmented sinus height was 13.8 (SD 1.4) mm after the surgery. The reduced height of grafted xenogenic material (RDL) at the implant insertion was 0.83 (SD 0.38) mm, and at the final postoperative visit was 0.91 (SD 0.25) mm, showing no significant correlation with the follow-up periods by Spearman's test (P = 0.118). In addition, no significant difference in the RDL was observed according to the site of implantation (P = 0.682). The mean implant marginal bone loss was 0.38 (SD 0.24) mm. Histological analysis showed the bone cores were composed of 64.72 (SD 3.44)% newly formed bone, 17.41 (SD 2.02)% connective tissue, 16.93 (SD 2.83)% residual graft particles, and 0.94 (SD 0.11)% inflammatory cells. CONCLUSIONS According to our data, the highly purified xenogenic bone (Laddec(®)), used as graft material in the sinus lift procedure, may create adequate bone volume, and appropriate osseointegration of dental implants.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of a Laser-Lok microtexturing surface on clinical attachment level and crestal bone remodeling around immediately functionally loaded implants in single-tooth replacement. Seventy-seven patients were included in a prospective, randomized study and divided into two groups. Group 1 (control) consisted of non-Laser-Lok type implants (n = 39), while in group 2 (test), Laser-Lok type implants were used (n = 39). Crestal bone loss (CBL) and clinical parameters including clinical attachment level (CAL), Plaque Index (PI), and bleeding on probing were recorded at baseline examinations and at 6, 12, and 24 months after loading with the final restoration. One implant was lost in the control group and one in the test group, giving a total survival rate of 96.1% after 2 years. PI and BOP outcomes were similar for both implant types without statistical differences. A mean CAL loss of 1.10 ± 0.51 mm was observed during the first 2 years in group 1, while the mean CAL loss observed in group 2 was 0.56 ± 0.33 mm. Radiographically, group 1 implants showed a mean crestal bone loss of 1.07 ± 0.30 mm compared with 0.49 ± 0.34 mm for group 2. The type of implant did not influence the survival rate, whereas Laser-Lok implants resulted in greater CAL and in shallower radiographic peri-implant CBL than non-Laser-Lok implants.

Abstract
AIM To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of implants with a Laser-Lok®-microtextured collar to implants with a resorbable blast textured (RBT) collar after a 5-year follow-up period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four implants with a Laser-Lok®-microtextured collar (test group [TG]) and 31 implants with an RBT collar (control group [CG]) were placed in 45 non-smoking, periodontally healthy patients. The full-mouth plaque score, full-mouth bleeding score, number of sites with plaque, and the number of sites with bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded at baseline, and at 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year follow-up. Probing depth (PD) and mucosal recession were assessed at baseline and after the 5-year follow-up period. The radiographic marginal bone loss (MBL) was calculated by subtracting the bone level at the time of crown insertion from the bone level at the 5-year follow-up. RESULTS An implant survival rate of 94% and of 90% was reported for the TG and the CG, respectively. No statistical differences were found between the study groups for presence of plaque (10.1% vs. 25%) or for number of sites with BOP (10.3% vs. 23%). The differences between both study groups were statistically significant for mean MBL (0.81 ± 0.24 vs. 2.02 ± 0.32 mm), mean PD (2.32 ± 0.44 vs. 4.25 ± 0.87 mm), and mean mucosal recession (0.16 ± 0.3 vs. 0.22 ± 0.3 mm). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, results suggest that the laser-microtextured implant collar surface may provide more favorable conditions for the attachment of hard and soft tissues, and reduce the level of MBL.

Abstract
PURPOSE Physical attachment of connective tissue fibers to a laser-microtextured (8- and 12-μm grooves) surface on the collar of an implant has been demonstrated using human histology. Related clinical research has suggested that this microtextured surface may help to decrease initial bone loss after implant placement. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare crestal bone heights and clinical parameters between implants with laser-microtextured and machined collars placed and loaded with different protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study evaluated 300 single implants in 300 patients (155 men, 145 women; mean age: 49.3 years; range: 45 to 75 years). One hundred sixty implants with laser-microtextured collars (L) and 140 with machined collars (M) were used. Implants were grouped into the treatment categories of immediate placement, delayed placement, immediate nonocclusal loading, and delayed loading. For all groups, crestal bone level, attachment level (CAL), Plaque Index, and bleeding on probing were recorded at baseline and 6, 12, and 24 months after loading with the definitive restoration. RESULTS Nine implants were lost (four L and five M). The type of implant and timing of placement and loading showed no significant influence on survival rates. A mean CAL loss of 1.12 mm was observed during the first 2 years in the M group, while the mean CAL loss observed in the L group was 0.55 mm. Radiographically, L group implants showed a mean crestal bone loss of 0.58 mm, compared to 1.09 mm for the M group. CONCLUSION A laser-microtextured surface on the implant collar may mitigate the negative sequelae associated with peri-implant bone loss, regardless of the placement and loading protocols used.

Efficacy of Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) and Highly Purified Bovine Xenograft (Laddec(®)) Combination in Bone Regeneration after Cyst Enucleation: Radiological and Histological Evaluation. EJOURNAL OF ORAL MAXILLOFACIAL RESEARCH 2013; 4:e3. [PMID: 24422036 PMCID: PMC3887574 DOI: 10.5037/jomr.2012.4303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2013] [Accepted: 08/26/2013] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Objectives The
purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of adding
platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to a new highly purified bovine allograft
(Laddec®) in the bone regeneration of cystic bony defects
augmented following cystectomy. Material and Methods Study
sample included 20 patients undergoing cystectomy in which the bone
defect was filled with PRP and Laddec®. All patients were
examined with periapical radiographs before operation and at follow-up.
After 3 months, at re-entry surgery for implant placement, bone core was
taken for histological and histomorphometric analysis. Results The
postoperative successive radiographs showed a good regeneration of bone
in the height of bony defects with application of PRP to bone graft. By
the first postoperative month, about 48% of the defect was filled, which
gradually increased in each month and showed about 90% of defect-fill by
6 months. Histological and histomorphometric analysis, showed a
significant presence of bone tissue and vessels, with newly formed bone
in contact with anorganic bone particles. The mean volume of vital bone
was 68 ± 1.6% and the mean percentage of vital bone was 48 ± 2.4%. The
mean percentage of inorganic particles in tissues was 20 ± 1.2% of the
total volume. All the samples analyzed did not evidence the presence of
inflammatory cells. Conclusions The
results of this study showed how the use of Laddec® in
association with platelet-rich plasma allows bone regeneration and has a
potential for routine clinical use for regeneration of cystic bony
defects.
