Yang B, Landa AI, Heuberger P, Ploeg HL. Effects of dental implant diameter and tapered body design on stress distribution in rigid polyurethane foam during insertion. Med Eng Phys 2024; 129:104181. [PMID: 38906568 DOI: 10.1016/j.medengphy.2024.104181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
Anchorage, evaluated by the maximum insertion torque (IT), refers to mechanical engagement between dental implant and host bone at the time of insertion without external loads. Sufficient anchorage has been highly recommended in the clinic. In several studies, the effects of implant diameter and taper body design under external loading have been evaluated after insertion; however, there are few studies, in which their effects on stress distribution during insertion have been investigated to understand establishment of anchorage. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dental implant diameter and tapered body design on anchorage combining experiments, analytical modeling, and finite element analysis (FEA). Two implant designs (parallel-walled and tapered) with two implant diameters were inserted into rigid polyurethane (PU) foam with corresponding straight drill protocols. The IT was fit to the analytical model (R2 = 0.88-1.0). The insertion process was modeled using explicit FEA. For parallel-walled implants, normalized IT and final FEA contact ratio were not related to the implant diameter while the implant diameter affected normalized IT (R2 = 0.90, p < 0.05, β1 = 0.20 and β2 = 0.93, standardized regression coefficients for implant diameter and taper body design) and final FEA contact ratio of tapered implants. The taper design distributed the PU foam stress further away from the thread compared to parallel-walled implants, which demonstrated compression in PU foam established by the tapered body during insertion.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that dental implants have high long-term survival rates, indicating their effectiveness compared to other treatments. However, there is still a concern regarding treatment failure. Deep learning methods, specifically U-Net models, have been effectively applied to analyze medical and dental images. This study aims to utilize U-Net models to segment bone in regions where teeth are missing in cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans and predict the positions of implants. The proposed models were applied to a CBCT dataset of Taibah University Dental Hospital (TUDH) patients between 2018 and 2023. They were evaluated using different performance metrics and validated by a domain expert. The experimental results demonstrated outstanding performance in terms of dice, precision, and recall for bone segmentation (0.93, 0.94, and 0.93, respectively) with a low volume error (0.01). The proposed models offer promising automated dental implant planning for dental implantologists.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:2161. [PMID: 38730967 PMCID: PMC11085640 DOI: 10.3390/ma17092161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Stress distribution and its magnitude during loading heavily influence the osseointegration of dental implants. Currently, no high-resolution, three-dimensional method of directly measuring these biomechanical processes in the peri-implant bone is available. The aim of this study was to measure the influence of different implant materials on stress distribution in the peri-implant bone. Using the three-dimensional ARAMIS camera system, surface strain in the peri-implant bone area was compared under simulated masticatory forces of 300 N in axial and non-axial directions for titanium implants and zirconia implants. The investigated titanium implants led to a more homogeneous stress distribution than the investigated zirconia implants. Non-axial forces led to greater surface strain on the peri-implant bone than axial forces. Thus, the implant material, implant system, and direction of force could have a significant influence on biomechanical processes and osseointegration within the peri-implant bone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluates the potential for osseointegration and remodeling of customized dental implants made from Titanium-Hydroxyapatite Functionally Graded Material (Ti-HAP FGM) with optimized geometry, using the finite element method (FEM). METHODS The study utilized CT scan images to model and assemble various geometrical designs of dental implants in a mandibular slice. The mechanical properties of Ti-HAP FGMs were computed by varying volume fractions (VF) of hydroxyapatite (0-20%), and a bone remodeling algorithm was used to evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of the ultimate bone configuration in the peri-implant tissue. RESULTS The findings of the FEA reveal that osseointegration improves with changes in the density and mechanical properties of the bone surrounding Ti-HAP implants, which are influenced by the varying VF of hydroxyapatite in the FGM. SIGNIFICANCE Increasing the hydroxyapatite fraction improves osseointegration, and appropriate length and diameter selection of Ti-HAP dental implants contribute to their stability and longevity.

[PMID: 35190196 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.01.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The placement of narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) in the posterior region is still debated in view of the high biomechanical risks in these areas. PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the success and survival rates of NDIs restored with fixed prostheses in the posterior region (primary outcome) and analyze whether splinting multiple units (prosthesis design) affects the biological and mechanical complications (secondary outcome). MATERIAL AND METHODS Dental records from 2 private clinics were reviewed for NDIs in the posterior region installed between 2009 and 2018. Ninety study participants (58 women and 32 men) aged between 21 and 84 years (mean age 49.9 years) were recalled for the assessment of implant survival and success of 160 NDIs previously provided for partial posterior edentulism associated with moderate horizontal bone loss or reduced interradicular space (105 premolars and 55 molars). The implants were restored with metal-ceramic single crowns or splinted multiple-unit prostheses, either screw-retained or cemented on custom (n=100) or stock titanium abutments (n=60). Peri-implant probing depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), bone quality, type of edentulism, and patient satisfaction were scored. The chi-squared test for independence and 2-sample Welch t test were performed for statistical analysis (α=.05). RESULTS The overall success rate was 89.37%. One implant had been removed 4 years after loading, another after 9 years, yielding a cumulative survival rate of 98.75%. Fourteen implants exhibited PPD > 5 mm. One implant and 1 abutment screw fractured, and 16 restorations demonstrated porcelain chipping. The chi-squared test showed no significant relationship between prosthetic design and complications whether biological (P=.087) or mechanical (P=.805). Eighty-two percent of patients were satisfied with esthetics, 76% with function, 85% with total duration of treatment, and 90% with overall treatment cost. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this retrospective study, NDIs may be considered a reliable option to replace posterior teeth. The prosthetic design had no significant impact on biological or mechanical complications.

J Indian Soc Periodontol 2023; 27:600-606. [PMID: 38434497 PMCID: PMC10906790 DOI: 10.4103/jisp.jisp_531_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim The aim of this two dimensional (2D) finite element analysis study was to evaluate the influence of implant design (step and tapered) and length on stress distribution at bone implant interface, when placed in maxillary posterior bone under immediate loading protocol. Materials and Methods 2D finite element models were developed to simulate the two types of implant designs, i.e., Tapered and step implants of 3.75-mm - Diameter and 6 and 10 mm lengths, respectively. Maxillary posterior bone quality (D4 bone) was simulated with a very thin cortical bone (0.5 mm) for the placement of implants. The respective material properties were assigned. The implant designs incorporated microthreads at the crestal part and rest of the implant body incorporated Acme threads. Forces of 100 Newtons were applied vertically and in oblique direction (at an angle of 45°) to long axis of the implants. Total deformation (micromovements), stresses and strains were evaluated at the bone implant interface. Results The results of micromovements, stresses and strains were found to be lower for long implants as compared to short implants. Also, all the values were found to be higher for oblique loads as compared to vertical loads. The von mises stress values were highest for 6 mm step implants and lowest for 10 mm step implants. Conclusion In the presence of low bone density with optimal bone height, standard diameter long step implants can be used. Incorporation of microthreads at the crestal portion and acme threads for body portion of the implant presents a good option to be used under immediate loading protocol.

Abstract
Skull reconstruction using cranial implants is often required for repairing skull defects caused due to trauma, diseases, or malignancy to protect intracranial structures. For relieving Intracranial Pressure (ICP) surgeons restore cranial defects either using natural bones or fabricated custom cranial implants. With the increase in Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and challenges faced by TBI patients to regain normalcy, it is imperative to analyse the mechanical behaviour of skull-implant assemblies under some Head Injury Criteria (HIC). Medical grade materials including Titanium Alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) and Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) are used by fabricating Patient-Specific Implants (PSI) manufactured using 3D imaging, modelling and printing techniques. 3D technologies are preferred over conventional manufacturing methods, as they enable fabrication of custom shapes, sizes and properties for these PSI. For an effective attachment of PSI with a defective skull, a stable joint and plate arrangement as fixture plates is necessary at their interface. These fixtures can have variable numbers, design shapes, materials and location arrangements. This paper presents the Finite Element Method/Analysis (FEM/FEA) study of PSI attached to a defected skull for reconstruction, with linear shaped fixture configuration, when subjected to an external dynamic loading at 5 m/s, strain rate of 10s-1 to 243s-1 and ICP of 15mm Hg from three sides of the skull faces. Three different materials as Neoprene (soft), Concrete (medium rigid) and E-Glass (highly rigid) have been used, in the form of a rectangular thin cuboidal wall structure, at an angle of 45° with the skull face. Four linear shaped fixture plates which were simplest to design, were used to attach the PSI-skull assembly, to ensure that weight of the PSI-fixation assembly on the patient remains minimal, overall assembly has symmetrical fixations and efforts required by a surgeon for fitment of these plates remain minimal. Placement of these fixture plates has been optimized to encompass the complete PSI-skull interface section, due to which the stresses within all the assembly components (PSI, fixture plate and skull) reduced by nearly 2.5 times than the initial design and remained within yielding limits, thereby, averting any failure under heavy external dynamic loading.

Abstract
Purpose Though, mechanical dental implant and supported prosthesis failures are considered significant, a comprehensive evaluation is lacking. A systematic review analyzing different aspects related to such failures was therefore done. Methods - Electronic search was carried out in PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane Library for articles published between 1981 and 2021. Articles were selected using predefined criteria. Data extraction was based on mechanical complications associated with dental implants, prosthetic implant failures, survival rate of implants, mechanical failure of implants placed in the maxilla and mandible, and mechanical complications associated with implant supported over dentures. Quality of included studies was assessed. Meta-analysis for heterogenicity testing, publication bias and implant failure assessment was conducted using MedCalc® Statistical Software version 19.7. Results - Eighteen retrospective and prospective studies were included following PRISMA guidelines. Mechanical complications were more in the initial 9 years but reduced later. Abutment screw loosening was one of the more common mechanical complications (16.21%). Maxillary implant failure was greater compared to mandibular implant failure with an odds ratio of 4.66 (95% CI -3.21- 6.75). Failure of implant supported overdentures due to mechanical complications were 3% in the fixed effect, and 2.9% in the random effect model (P < 0.05). The overall prevalence of mechanical failure was between 5.6% and 7.7% (P < 0.05). Conclusion Mechanical failures of implant and supported prosthesis have similar prevalence to biological and esthetic failures, and therefore need to be given due credence. Identifying specific factors contributing to such failures can help reduce incidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare stability, survival, and soft tissue reactions between a wide-diameter (test) and previous-generation small-diameter (control) bone-anchored hearing implant and to ascertain the safety of loading the test implant 3 weeks after surgery, at a long-term follow-up of 10 years. STUDY DESIGN This study is a continuation of two previously completed, multicenter, randomized, controlled trials and consisted of one to two additional follow-up visits until 10 years after surgery. PATIENTS Fifty-one of the 72 participants from the previous trials were included. Patients received a test or control implant. All control implants were loaded 6 weeks after surgery (group A). Test implants were loaded 3 (group B) or 6 weeks (group C) after surgery. RESULTS The test implant showed significantly higher implant stability quotient (ISQ) values than the control implant throughout the 10-year follow-up. At 10 years, the mean ISQ-high values for both implants were higher than at the first follow-up visit. No significant differences in change of ISQ-high from baseline to 10 years were noticed between both implants and loading groups. Soft tissue reactions were rarely seen. At 10-year follow-up, no patients presented with adverse soft tissue reactions. Excluding explantations, the implant survival rate was 78.6% (group A), 100% (group B), and 90.0% (group C). CONCLUSIONS The test implant showed superior mean ISQ values and significantly better implant survival throughout 10-year follow-up. In addition, the current study concludes that it is safe to load the test implant at 3 weeks after surgery, as long-term results show high ISQ values and good implant survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES From the treatment of damaged teeth to replacing missing teeth, dental biomaterials cover the scientific interest of many fields. Dental biomaterials are one of the implants whose effective life depends vastly on their material and manufacturing techniques. The purpose of this review is to summarize the important aspects for metallic dental implants from biomedical, mechanical and materials science perspectives. The review article will focus on five major aspects as mentioned below. Tooth anatomy: Maximizing the implant performance depends on proper understanding of human tooth anatomy and the failure behavior of the implants. Major parts from tooth anatomy including saliva characteristics are explored in this section. Wear mechanisms: The prominent wear mechanisms having a high impact on dental wear are abrasive, adhesive, fatigue and corrosion wear. To imitate the physiological working condition of dental implants, reports on the broad range of mastication force and various composition of artificial saliva have been included in this section, which can affect the tribo-corrosion behavior of dental implants. Dental implants classifications: The review paper includes a dedicated discussion on major dental implants types and their details for better understanding their applicability and characteristics. Implant materials: As of today, the most established dental implant materials are SS316L, cobalt chrome alloy and titanium. Detailed discussion on their material properties, microstructures, phase transformations and chemical compositions have been discussed here. Manufacturing techniques: In terms of different production methods, the lost wax casting method as traditional manufacturing is considered. Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) as additive manufacturing techniques (AM) have been discussed. For AM, the relationships between process-property-performance details have been explored briefly. The effectiveness of different manufacturing techniques was compared based on porosity distribution, mechanical and biomechanical properties. SUMMARY Despite having substantial research available on dental implants, there is a lack of systematic reviews to present a holistic viewpoint combining state-of-the-art from biomedical, mechanical, materials science and manufacturing perspectives. This review article attempts to combine a wide variety of analyzing approaches from those interdisciplinary fields to deliver deeper insights to researchers both in academia and industry to develop next-generation dental implants.

Abstract
This study explores the implant-supported prosthetic treatment alternatives of the edentulous mandible from a biomechanical point of view by means of a Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Finite element (FE) models were used to simulate cases treated with six, five, and four, implants and a fixed prosthesis with a cantilever. In the four implant treatments, three cases were analyzed; the posterior implants were placed in axial positions, angled at 30° and 45°. Cases with six and four axially placed implants were also analyzed by placing the posterior implants distally to the foramen, thus eliminating the cantilever in the prostheses. In the cases with implants between foramina, the highest values for the principal strains and von Mises stresses were observed in the case with four implants where the posterior implants were angled at 45°. Cases with implants placed distally to the foramen and without a cantilever showed much lower bone stress and strain levels compared to cases with implants between foramina. From a biomechanical point of view, it seems to be a better option to use implants positioned distally to the foramen, eliminating cantilevers.

Abstract
Titanium and titanium alloy implants are essential for bone tissue regeneration engineering. The current trend is toward the manufacture of implants from materials that mimic the structure, composition and elasticity of bones. Titanium and titanium alloy implants, the most common materials for implants, can be used as a bone conduction material but cannot promote osteogenesis. In clinical practice, there is a high demand for implant surfaces that stimulate bone formation and accelerate bone binding, thus shortening the implantation-to-loading time and enhancing implantation success. To avoid stress shielding, the elastic modulus of porous titanium and titanium alloy implants must match that of bone. Micro-arc oxidation technology has been utilized to increase the surface activity and build a somewhat hard coating on porous titanium and titanium alloy implants. More recently, a growing number of researchers have combined micro-arc oxidation with hydrothermal, ultrasonic, and laser treatments, coatings that inhibit bacterial growth, and acid etching with sand blasting methods to improve bonding to bone. This paper summarizes the reaction at the interface between bone and implant material, the porous design principle of scaffold material, MAO technology and the combination of MAO with other technologies in the field of porous titanium and titanium alloys to encourage their application in the development of medical implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental implants require good surgical and prosthetic skills with special training for successful treatment outcomes. AIM To assess the knowledge of the dental practitioners in Palestine about the therapeutic trends in implant dentistry. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study is a cross-sectional questionnaire study among dental practitioners registered in Palestinian dental association. All practitioners who consented and completely filled the questionnaire were included in the study. All participants were asked basic demographic questions, and their attitude towards basic and advanced dental implant trends was assessed. Chi-square test was used to associate a correlation between the area of location of the clinic and responses to the questionnaire (p<0.05). RESULTS Most of the dental practitioners were aware about the basic implant therapeutic trends. However, since most of the practitioners included in the present study had limited years of experience, they referred the advanced implant procedures to senior practitioners. CONCLUSION Dental practitioners in Palestine have good knowledge on the dental implant therapeutic trends. However, they do not carry out the advanced implant procedures and usually refer them to senior practitioners. There is no variation in the knowledge of the implant therapeutic trends based on varying locations of dental clinics.

Abstract
An increase in the world population and its life expectancy, as well as the ongoing concern about our physical appearance, have elevated the relevance of dental implantology in recent decades. Engineering strategies to improve the survival rate of dental implants have been widely investigated, focusing on implant material composition, geometry (usually guided to reduce stiffness), and interface surrounding tissues. Although efforts to develop different implant surface modifications are being applied in commercial dental prostheses today, the inclusion of surface coatings has gained special interest, as they can be tailored to efficiently enhance osseointegration, as well as to reduce bacterial-related infection, minimizing peri-implantitis appearance and its associated risks. The use of biomaterials to replace teeth has highlighted the need for the development of reliable analytical methods to assess the therapeutic benefits of implants. This literature review considers the state-of-the-art strategies for surface modification or coating and analytical methodologies for increasing the survival rate for teeth restoration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of pediatric patients implanted a novel 4.5 mm wide laser ablated titanium bone anchored implant system and to evaluate the implant stability over the first 12-month period. STUDY DESIGN A prospective, single-subject, repeated measure, cohort study. Participants served as their own controls. SETTING Community and tertiary referral hospital pediatric assessment center. PATIENTS A total of 115 consecutive pediatric patients aged 4 to 15 years were implanted with 176 laser ablated titanium bone anchored implants from January 2016 to January 2019. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Clinical outcomes, implant failure rates, and post implantation implant stability quotient (ISQ) scores were studied over the first 12-month period. Data were analyzed for statistical significance through mixed effect modeling, with the significance level p = 0.01. RESULTS A median 12-month survival of 96.6% was observed. Six implants (3.5%) were lost in total, one of these (0.6%) was lost due to trauma. Adverse skin reactions (Holgers grade 2-4) were observed in 4.4% of all postoperative visits, occurring in 22 individuals (19.1%). Neither the ISQ high (ISQH) nor ISQ low (ISQL) values increased significantly between the stage 1 and 2 surgeries. In contrast, the ISQ results, irrespective of abutment size, demonstrated an increasing trend from 49.1 to 57 over the 12 months review period. A statistically significant change was only demonstrated from the 3 months follow up onwards. CONCLUSION The use of 4.5 mm wide laser-ablated titanium bone anchored hearing implants resulted in superior survival rates and excellent clinical outcomes compared with previous implant systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate complication rates and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) of the stability of a new laser-ablated titanium Bone Anchored hearing Implant system in children with Down syndrome. METHODS A prospective, single-subject, repeat measure, cohort study in which each participant served as their own control. Consecutive paediatric patients 4yrs- 15 years old, with a primary diagnosis of Down syndrome (trisomy 21) were implanted between January 2015-January 2020 with BHX Oticon wide implants. Evaluation of soft tissue reactions, fixture failure rates and post implantation Implant stability Quotient (ISQ) at both fixtures and abutment levels were studied over a 12-month period. Data was analysed for statistical significance through mixed effect modelling with significance set at p = 0.01. RESULTS 31 consecutive paediatric patients with a diagnosis of Down syndrome were implanted with 43 Ponto BHX Oticon™ implant system. Twelve children had bilateral implants and nineteen were unilateral. Over the 12 month follow up 2 fixtures (4.6%) were lost, and adverse skin reactions (Holgers >2) were recorded in 3.2% of all clinical reviews. Implant level stability quotient showed no statically significant change between first and second stage 71.1-71.7. Abutment level ISQ increased from 46.2 to 56.7 p = 0.0001 at the 12-month review point as compared to that recorded at loading. CONCLUSION Implant survival and adverse skin reactions were found to be in keeping with those in published literature and much improved compared to previous implant systems placed at this centre. Although abutment level ISQ showed an increase over the review period no correlation between this and implant loss can be concluded.

Abstract
Wool derived keratin has garnered significant advancements in the field of biomaterials for hard tissue regeneration. The main limitation of keratin-based biomaterials for bone tissue engineering is their fragile nature. This paper proposes the development of a novel hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) crosslinked keratin scaffold, containing hydroxyapatite as a major inorganic component by freeze drying technique for alveolar bone regeneration. The prepared keratin/hydroxyapatite/HPMC (K/HA/HPMC) scaffold was characterized to study its chemical, physical, and mechanical properties by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-Ray diffractometric (XRD) analysis. The SEM images of the scaffolds showed highly porous interconnected architecture with average pore size of 108.36 ± 22.56 while microcomputed tomographic analysis measured total porosity as 79.65 %±. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDX) analysis confirmed that inorganic component of scaffold was mainly composed of calcium and phosphorous ions having Ca/P molar ration of 1.6. The maximum compressive strength was found to be in the range of 0.841 ± 0.37 MPa. Furthermore, the K/HA/HPMC scaffold was structurally stable and weight loss of about 26% was observed when soaked in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) for 28 days. In vitro biocompatibility testing showed that K/HA/HPMC scaffold was cytocompatible and supported the attachment, proliferation of osteoblast (Saos-2) cells. Thus, the development of a non-toxic chemical cross-linking system with HPMC was investigated to fabricate K/HA/HPMC scaffold and our results showed great potential of these scaffolds to regenerate alveolar bone due to their structural similarity and excellent in vitro biocompatibility.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The aim of our study was to test whether wide diameter (6 mm) implants perform differently from standard diameter (4 mm) implants in terms of marginal bone level and survival rate. Materials and Methods: Our sample comprised 72 patients who underwent surgery; a total of 80 implants were placed in the maxillary or mandibular molar region. Patients were divided into two groups according to the diameter of the implant, and were followed up for six years after the final setting of the prosthetics. In the test group, 40 implants with 6-mm diameter were inserted; in the control group, 40 standard diameter implants were inserted. Using panoramic radiographs, we investigated mesial and distal marginal bone levels around the implant fixtures. Results: After the first implant surgery, three implants, including one wide diameter and two standard diameter implants, failed due to lack of osseointegration. We did not note any fixture fracture during the six-year follow-up. After loading, we observed a six-year survival rate of 97.29% with no statistically significant difference from standard diameter implants, with a survival rate of 94.87%. Conclusions: This study shows that 6-mm diameter implants may be considered in the presence of adequate alveolar ridge width in the posterior maxillary and mandibular regions.

Abstract
Finite element analysis (FEA) has always been an important tool in studying the influences of stress and deformation due to various loads on implants to the surrounding jaws. This study assessed the influence of two different types of dental implant model on stress dissipation in adjoining jaws and on the implant itself by utilizing FEA. This analysis aimed to examine the effects of increasing the number of fences along the implant and to compare the resulting stress distribution and deformation with surrounding bones. When a vertical force of 100 N was applied, the largest displacements found in the three-fenced and single-fenced models were 1.7469 and 2.5267, respectively, showing a drop of 30.8623%. The maximum stress found in the three-fenced and one-fenced models was 13.518 and 22.365 MPa, respectively, showing a drop of 39.557%. Moreover, when an oblique force at 35° was applied, a significant increase in deformation and stress was observed. However, the three-fenced model still had less stress and deformation compared with the single-fenced model. The FEA results suggested that as the number of fences increases, the stress dissipation increases, whereas deformation decreases considerably.

Abstract
Many studies have evaluated short implants (SIs); however, it is still unclear whether SIs are reliable and can be used to simplify surgical and prosthetic protocols with successful clinical outcomes. The aim of this non-random, conveniently sampled, prospective, split-mouth study was to compare the clinical outcomes when short (SI) (≤8 mm) or regular-length implants (RIs) (>10 mm) were used in the posterior mandible two years after the delivery of splinted reconstructions. Each participant (N=10) received four implants in the posterior mandible; two SIs were placed on one side, and two RIs were placed contra-laterally. Implants were restored with splinted, screw-retained, porcelain-fused-to-metal reconstructions. Survival and success rates, peri-implant marginal bone level (MBL), and soft tissue parameters were evaluated. No participant drop-outs were recorded. Both types of implants showed 100% success and survival rates. From prosthetic delivery to 24 months post-loading, bone remineralization of +0.40 mm for the SIs and +0.36 mm for the RIs was observed without statistically significant differences in MBL between the implant types (p=0.993). SIs showed significantly higher (p=0.001) clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing depth (PD) values. Chipping occurred in one situation in the RI group resulting in a 97.5% prosthetic success rate, which was 100% for the SIs. After 2 years, SIs with splinted reconstructions showed comparable clinical outcomes to those of RIs. Further long-term controlled clinical studies with balanced experimental designs evaluating random and larger populations are required to corroborate these findings.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of the different dental implant neck designs, diameters, and inclinations, on the stress distributions at the mandibular crestal bone and implant-abutment complex, using three-dimensional (3D) finite element stress analysis (FEA) method. Finite element models of three-unit fixed partial dentures supported with two same length implants (10 mm), placed on the second premolar and second molar regions, were designed. Eight different models were designed according to the implants' neck designs (platform switching/traditional), diameters (4.1 mm/4.8 mm) and the tilting angles of the posterior implants (0°/15°). The anterior implants' widths were 4.1 mm and the neck design of the anterior implants matched the posterior implants. Two types of 100-N loads in vertical and 30° oblique directions were applied separately onto each central fossae and functional cusps of the fixed partial dentures crowns. Algor Fempro Software was used for the simulation and evaluation of the stress levels at the implant-abutment complex and the crestal bone. Stress levels measured at the crestal bone were found to be lower for the platform switching models. However, the platform switching design generated higher stress magnitudes within the implant-abutment complex. Inclined placement of posterior implants increased the amount of stress at the crestal bone around both implants. Biomechanically, selection of the largest diameter possible when using tilted platform switched implants may be recommended at the posterior mandible.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of length and width of implant on primary stability in immediate implants in mandibular first molar. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was carried out on 40 cone-beam computed tomography scans selected with defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. According to the diameter and length of implants, they were divided into nine groups (G1 to G9). The virtual implants of different diameters and length were placed in mandibular first molar and measurements were done for peri-implant horizontal and vertical gap defect, peri-implant interradicular bone support and apical bone support for all the groups. RESULTS The study groups Diameter, (D-7 mm) showed least horizontal gap defect (Buccal-1.30 ± 0.56 mm, lingual-1.30 ± 0.56 mm, mesial-1.20 ± 0.51 mm, and distal-1.05 ± 0.59 mm) as compared to regular implant diameter (D-4.7) groups (Buccal-2.35 ± 0.483 mm, lingual-2.10 mm ± 0.44 mm, mesial-2.30 ± 0.64 mm, and distal-2.25 ± 0.43 mm). The unsupported Vertical implant gap defect at the coronal part of the socket was 2.80 mm ± 0.83 mm for all groups in both horizontal and vertical direction. The vertical peri-implant interradicular bone support showed increased bone support with increase in implant length (L). The buccal and lingual inter-radicular bone-support was least for Length (L-8.5 mm), moderate for L-11.5 mm, and highest for L-13.5 mm groups, respectively. The mesial inter-radicular bone support was least for G4G7, moderate for G1G2G5G8, and maximum for G3G6G9 groups. Similarly, the distal inter-radicular bone support was least for G4G7, moderate for G1G5G8, and maximum for G2G3G6G9 groups, respectively. There was no apical bone support in L-8.5 mm group as the tip of implant was 3.5-4 mm within the socket tip. Whereas, L-11.5 mm had decent (0.9-1 mm) and L-13.5 mm had Good (1.35-1.95 mm) apical bone support as the implant tip was beyond the socket tip. CONCLUSION All the groups showed good interradicular bone support on buccal and lingual surfaces. Regular width implants with longer length showed satisfactory interradicular bone support on mesial and distal surfaces. Longer implants showed good apical bone support in all the four surfaces and hence good apical primary stability expected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In edentulous patients, the concept of 4 implants with early loading has been widely used in clinical settings. In the case of bone atrophy in the anterior maxilla, using short implants or an angulated implant may be a good choice for treatment. The occlusal scheme remains a key aspect of All-on-4. The aim of this study was to use the 3-dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM) to evaluate how different All-on-4 designs for canine-guided and group function occlusion affected the distribution of stress in the atrophic premaxilla. MATERIAL AND METHODS A 3D edentulous maxilla model was created and in 3D FEM, 3 different configurations - M4, All-on-4, and short implant - were modeled by changing the anterior implants and using 2 different occlusal schemes. For each model, the occlusal load was applied to simulate lateral movements. For cortical bone, the maximum and minimum principal stress values were generated, and for ductile materials, von Mises stress values were obtained. RESULTS No significant differences were detected among the models; generally, however, the highest stress values were observed in the M-4 model and the models with short implants. Slightly higher stress values were observed in the group function occlusion group than in the canine-guided occlusion group. CONCLUSIONS To promote better primary stabilization, M-4 or short implant configurations with canine-guided occlusion appear to be preferable for patients who have severe atrophy in the anterior maxilla.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of implant geometrical characteristics: diameter, length and thread's pitch, on stress distribution around dental prosthesis. A set of numerical simulations using FEM were conducted and responses surfaces were generated. With the aim of optimizing the equivalent stresses responses; desirability function approach was adopted to solve this multi-objective problem. Results showed that implant diameter had most significant influence on generated stresses and high concentration of stresses were identified in the lower part of the implant. This study is helpful in choosing the optimal dental implant for clinical application.

Abstract
Aim The purpose of systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of short implant versus conventional long implant with sinus graft in patients rehabilitated for posterior atrophic maxilla. Setting and Design Systematic review and meta analysis. Materials and Methods Electronic searches were conducted in Pub Med, Embase, and Medline with supplemented by manual search up to December 2019. The randomized controlled trial (RCTs) comparing short implant (<8.5 mm) and long implant (>8.5 mm) with sinus graft were included. (Prospero CRD42020186972). Statistical Analysis Used Random-effect model, fixed-effect model, A funnel plot and the Egger's test. Results Twenty-two Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were assessed with 667 patients and 1595 implants (short implant:767, Long implant:835). No significant difference of implant survival rate was recorded for short and long implant (at patient level: RR: 1.01, 95% CI = 0.52-2.0, P = 0.87, I2 = 0%, at implant level RR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.6-2.0, P = 0.7, I2 = 0%). Similarly marginal bone resorption was reported no difference for short and long implant (MD = 0.16. 95% CI: -0.23 = -0.08, P = 0.00, I2 = 74.83%). Biological complications were marginally higher for long implant (RR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.23-0.8, P = 0.13, I2 = 29.11%). and prosthetic complications were marginally higher for short implants (RR=1.56, 95% CI=0.85-3.15, P = 0.43, I2 = 0%). Conclusion There was no significance difference in implant survival rate and marginal bone resorption recorded for both the short implant and long implant with sinus graft, in the patients rehabilitated with posterior atrophic maxilla. Hence, short implant is a suitable alternative to long implant with sinus graft, for the rehabilitation posterior atrophic maxilla.

Abstract
Aims: The scope of this study was to analyze the influence of clinically feasible implant diameter and length on the stress transmitted to the peri-implant bone in the case of a resorbed and bone augmented mandible through finite element analysis. Settings and Design: The study was carried out in silico. Subjects and Methods: Resorbed and bone-augmented 3D models were derived from in vivo cone-beam computed tomography scans of the same patient. Corresponding implant systems were modeled with the diameter ranging from 3.3 to 6 mm and length ranging from 5 to 13 mm, and masticatory loads were applied on the abutment surface. Statistical Analysis Used: None. Results: In the bone augmented ridge, maximum stress values in the peri-implant region drastically decreased only when using implants of a diameter of 5 mm and 6 mm. Implants up to 4 mm in diameter led to comparable stress values with the ones obtained in the resorbed ridge, when using the larger implants. The increase of length reduced stress in the resorbed mandible, whereas in the bone augmented model, it led to small variations only in implants up to 4 mm in diameter. Conclusions: It was concluded that bone augmentation provides the optimal framework for clinicians to use larger implants, which, in turn, reduces stress in the peri-implant region. Diameter and length play an equally important role in decreasing stress. Implant dimensions should be carefully considered with ridge geometry.

Abstract
The placement of short implants, which measure less than 10 mm in length, requires the practitioner to have a thorough comprehension of implant dentistry to achieve acceptable results. Innovation of the rough-surface implant and the progression of the implant-abutment interface from an external hex to an internal connection have considerably influenced the longevity of short implants. Dentists are better equipped to serve their patients because the utilization of short implants may preclude the need for advanced surgical bone-grafting procedures.

Abstract
Fatigue is the most common mechanical failure type in dental implants. ISO 14801 standardizes fatigue testing of dental implants, providing the load-life curve which is most useful for comparing the fatigue behavior of different dental implant designs. Based on it, many works were published in the dental implant literature, comparing different materials, component geometries, connection types, surface treatments, etc. These works are useful for clinicians in order to identify the best options available in the market. The present work is intended not for clinicians but for dental implant manufacturers, developing a design tool that combines Finite Element Analysis, fatigue formulation and ISO 14801 experimental tests. For that purpose, 46 experimental tests were performed on BTI INTERNA® IIPSCA4513 implants joined with INPPTU44 abutments by means of INTTUH prosthetic screws under three different tightening torque magnitudes. Then, the load case was reproduced in a FE model from where the nominal stress state in the fatigue critical section was worked out. Finally, Walker criterion was used to represent accurately the effects of mean stress and predict fatigue life of the studied dental implant assembly, which can be extended to most of the products of BTI manufacturer. By means of this tool, dental implant manufacturers will be able to identify the critical design and assembly parameters in terms of fatigue behavior, evaluate their influence in preliminary design stages and consequently design dental implants with significantly better fatigue response which in turn will reduce future clinical incidences.

Abstract
In the absence of accurate medical records, it is critical to correctly classify implant fixture systems using periapical radiographs to provide accurate diagnoses and treatments to patients or to respond to complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether deep neural networks can identify four different types of implants on intraoral radiographs. In this study, images of 801 patients who underwent periapical radiographs between 2005 and 2019 at Yonsei University Dental Hospital were used. Images containing the following four types of implants were selected: Brånemark Mk TiUnite, Dentium Implantium, Straumann Bone Level, and Straumann Tissue Level. SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet-18, MobileNet-v2, and ResNet-50 were tested to determine the optimal pre-trained network architecture. The accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score were calculated for each network using a confusion matrix. All five models showed a test accuracy exceeding 90%. SqueezeNet and MobileNet-v2, which are small networks with less than four million parameters, showed an accuracy of approximately 96% and 97%, respectively. The results of this study confirmed that convolutional neural networks can classify the four implant fixtures with high accuracy even with a relatively small network and a small number of images. This may solve the inconveniences associated with unnecessary treatments and medical expenses caused by lack of knowledge about the exact type of implant.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is not to discuss the success of short dental implants versus standard/long dental implants, but to compare short dental implants with standard/long dental implants in areas that necessitated adjunctive bone grafting or augmentation procedures and as a way to avoid the need for advanced surgical procedures and their associated risks. It can be concluded that short dental implants are a viable alternative in sites that would have required additional complex and costly augmentation procedures. Short dental implants resulted in comparable survival and success rates with faster, less expensive treatment with fewer surgical complications and morbidity.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the primary stability and the osseointegration process in implants with different macrostructures (Cylindrical vs. Hybrid Conical) in rabbit tibiae. Twenty-four (24) rabbits were used, divided into 3 experimental periods (2, 4 and 8 weeks) with 8 animals each. Each animal bilaterally received 2 implants from each group in the tibial metaphysis: Cylindrical Implant (CI) and Hybrid Conical Implant (HCI). All implants were assessed for insertion torque. After the experimental periods, one of the implants in each group was submitted to the removal counter-torque test and descriptive histological analysis while the other implant was used for microtomographic and histometric analysis (%Bone-Implant Contact). HCI implants showed higher insertion torque (32.93 ± 10.61 Ncm vs. 27.99 ± 7.80 Ncm) and higher % of bone-implant contact in the 8-week period (79.08 ± 11.31% vs. 59.72 ± 11.29%) than CI implants. However, CI implants showed higher values of removal counter-torque than HCI implants in the 8-week period (91.05 ± 9.32 Ncm vs. 68.62 ± 13.70 Ncm). There were no differences between groups regarding microtomographic data. It can be concluded that HCI implants showed greater insertion torque and bone-implant contact in relation to CI implants in the period of 8 weeks when installed in cortical bone of rabbits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surface nanostructures in titanium (Ti) oral implants are critical for rapid osseointegration. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the growth of osteoblast-like (Saos-2) and epithelial-like (Ca9-22) cells on nanopatterned Ti films. METHODS Ti films with 500 nm grooves and pillars were fabricated by nanoimprinting, and seeded with Saos-2 and Ca9-22 cells. Cell viability and morphology were assessed by cell proliferation assay and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. RESULTS As assessed after 1 hour, proliferation of Saos-2 cells was most robust on grooved films than on pillared and smooth films, in this order. These cells approximately doubled on grooved and pillared substrates in 24 hours and after 5 days, but not on smooth surfaces. In contrast, Ca9-22 cells favored smooth surfaces, followed by grooved and pillared films. Indeed, cells sparsely adhered to pillared films over 5 days of incubation (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The data show that Saos-2 and Ca9-22 cells respond differently to different nanostructures, and highlight the potential use of nanopatterns to promote bone regeneration or to prevent epithelial downgrowth at the implant-bone interface.

Abstract
The scope of our study was to analyze the impact of implant prosthetic rehabilitation, in bilateral terminal partial edentulism with mandibular bone atrophy, and potential benefits of mandibular bone augmentation through finite element analysis. A 3D mandible model was made using patient-derived cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, presenting a bilateral terminal edentation and mandibular atrophy. A virtual simulation of bone augmentation was then made. Implant-supported restorations were modeled for each edentulous area. Forces corresponding to the pterygoid and the masseter muscles, as well as mastication conditions for each quadrant, were applied. The resorbed mandible presented high values of strain and stress. A considerable variation between strain values among the two implant sites in each quadrant was found. In the augmented model, values of strain and stress showed a uniformization in both quadrants. Virtually increasing bone mass in the resorbed areas of the mandible showed that enabling larger implants drastically reduces strain and stress values in the implant sites. Also, although ridge height difference between the two quadrants was kept even after bone augmentation, there is a uniformization of the strain values between the two implant sites in each of the augmented mandible quadrants.

Abstract
With the need of rapid healing and long-term stability of dental implants, the existing Ti-based implant materials do not meet completely the current expectation of patients. Low elastic modulus Ti-alloys have shown superior biocompatibility and can achieve comparable or even faster bone formation in vivo at the interface of bone and the implant. Porous structured Ti alloys have shown to allow rapid bone ingrowth through their open structure and to achieve anchorage with bone tissue by increasing the bone-implant interface area. In addition to the mechanical properties of implant materials, the design of the implant body can be used to optimize load transfer and affect the ultimate results of osseointegration. The aim of this narrative review is to define the mechanical properties of dental implants, summarize the relationship between implant stability and osseointegration, discuss the effect of metallic implant mechanical properties (e.g. stiffness and porosity) on the bone response based on existing in vitro and in vivo information, and analyze load transfer through mechanical properties of the implant body. This narrative review concluded that although several studies have presented the advantages of low elastic modulus or high porosity alloys and their effect on osseointegration, further in vivo studies, especially long-term observational studies are needed to justify these novel materials as a replacement for current Ti-based implant materials.

[PMID: 31295755 DOI: 10.1111/joor.12860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2018] [Revised: 05/22/2019] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to compare the survival rate, marginal bone loss changes and complications between short implants (5-8 mm) and long implants (≥10 mm) with a bone-augmented procedure in the posterior jaw. An electronic search of the MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase and Cochrane Library databases through September 2018 was done to identify randomised controlled trials (RCT) assessing short implants and long implants with at least a 1-year follow-up period after loading. A quantitative meta-analysis was conducted on the survival rate, marginal bone loss changes and complications. Ten RCTs met the inclusion criteria. There were no significant differences in the survival rate (RR: 1.01; 95% CI: [0.99, 1.03]; P = .32) and complications (RR: 0.48; 95% CI: [0.20, 1.17]; P = .11) between the two groups. Compared with the long implant group, the short implant group had a lower marginal bone loss change, and the effect measure was significant (mean difference: -0.13; 95% CI: [-0.20, -0.06]; P < .05). This systematic review showed no difference between the survival rates and complications of short implants (5-8 mm) and long implants (≥10 mm). The marginal bone loss changes in short implants are lower than those in long implants.

Abstract
Objectives Dental implants shorter than 8 mm, called short dental implants (SDIs), have been considered to have a lower success rate than standard length implants. But recent studies have shown that SDIs have a comparable success rate, and implant diameter was more important for implant survival than implant length. Also, SDIs have many advantages, such as no need for sinus lifting or vertical bone grafting, which may limit use in medically compromised patients. Materials and Methods In this study, 33 patients with 47 implants 7-mm long were examined over the last four years. All patients had special medical history and were categorized into 3 groups: systemic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus (controlled or uncontrolled), mental disability, and uncontrolled hypertension; oral cancer ablation with reconstruction, with or without radiotherapy; diverse osteomyelitis, such as osteoradionecrosis and bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Most of these patients have insufficient residual bone quality due to mandible atrophy or sinus pneumatization. Results The implant diameters were 4.0 (n=38), 4.5 (n=8), and 5.0 mm (n=1). Among the 47 implants placed, 2 implants failed before the last follow-up. The survival rate of 7-mm SDIs was 95.74% from stage I surgery to the last follow-up. Survival rates did not differ according to implant diameter. The mean marginal bone loss (MBL) at 3 months, 1 and 2 years was significantly higher than at implant installation, and the MBL at 1 year was also significantly higher than at 3 months. MBL at 1 and 2 years did not differ significantly. Conclusion Within the limitations of the present study, the results indicate that SDIs provide a reliable treatment, especially for medically compromised patients, to avoid sinus lifting or vertical bone grafting. Further, long-term follow-up is needed.

Abstract
This study sought to assess microbial leakage through the implant-healing abutment interface in 4 dental implant connection systems. Ten implants of each of the 3i (double hexagon + flat to flat; group 1), IDI (internal hexagon + Morse taper; group 2), Swiss Plus (external bevel + internal octagon; group 3), and Tapered Screw-Vent (internal bevel + internal hexagon; group 4) systems were used in this in vitro, experimental study. Healing abutments were screwed to the implants with 10 Ncm torque. Implants were immersed in Escherichia coli suspension for 24 hours. Samples were taken of the internal surface of implants and cultured. The number of grown colonies was counted after 24 hours of culture and after 7 and 14 days of immersion in microbial suspension. The same was repeated with healing abutments torqued to 10 and 20 Ncm. With 10 Ncm torque, all specimens in all groups showed microleakage at one day with the highest microleakage in one sample in group 3. At 7 days, the highest microleakage was noted in one specimen in group 2. With 20 Ncm torque, group 3 showed significantly higher microleakage than other groups at 1 and 7 days (P < .05). Increasing the torque decreased microleakage in all groups except for group 3. Microbial leakage occurred in almost all implant systems in our study. In one-stage implant placement, healing abutments should be preferably torqued to 20 Ncm to minimize microleakage. Optimal torque for healing abutment insertion should be analyzed individually for each system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To monitor the cytokine release patterns in the peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) and to investigate which factors affect the success rate of narrow diameter implants (NDI) during the first year. MATERIAL AND METHODS Mandibular implant overdentures (IOD) retained by 2 NDI were installed in 16 clinically atrophic edentulous patients. The following parameters were monitored during the first year: (i) peri-implant health parameters (plaque index (PI), calculus presence (CP), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD) and bleeding on probing (BoP); (ii) cytokine concentrations in the PICF (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10); (iii) implant stability quotient (ISQ); (iv) marginal bone level (MBL) and bone level change (BLC); (v) implant success. The insertion torque, bone type, mandibular atrophy, time since edentulism, and smoking habits were also recorded. All data were analyzed using multivariable multilevel mixed-effects regression models. RESULTS The variability in the TNF-α release patterns temporarily reduced at weeks (w) 8-12, while the IL-1β concentrations remained low until they peaked at w48 [p < 0.05; + 177.55 pg/μl (+ 96.13 - + 258.97)]. Conversely, IL-10 release decreased significantly at w48 [p < 0.05; - 456.24 pg/μl (- 644.41 - - 268.07)]. The PD and ISQ decreased significantly (p < 0.05) over the follow-up period, while the MBL was stable after w48 with a BLC of 0.12 ± 0.71 mm. The overall success rate was 81.3%, and was influenced by TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, PI, GI, PD, smoking, and time since edentulism. CONCLUSION Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine release was balanced during the first 24 weeks. The GI, smoking, and time since edentulism are the most important factors determining the implant success. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The study contributes to the understanding of the osseointegration process in a clinically atrophic population rehabilitated with IOD, and highlights the importance of monitoring clinical peri-implant health-related parameters, smoking habit, and time since edentulism to predict implant success rates.

Abstract
Dental implant dimensions, and bone quality and quantity play a key role in early osseointegration and long-term prognosis in posterior edentulous maxilla. Treatment with short implants, preferably in a bicortical manner, is an accepted modality; however, short implants have limitations leading to increased stress concentrations in alveolar bone, potential overload and implant failure. Implant models of 3.3, 4.1, 4.8 and 5.4 mm diameter and 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5 mm length were placed in posterior maxilla 3-D models with corresponding residual bone heights. Bone-implant assemblies were analyzed in finite element software ANSYS 15. All materials were assumed to be linearly elastic and isotropic. 118.2 N oblique loading was applied to investigate stress distributions in bone tissues. The concept of ultimate functional load (UFL) was selected as a criterion to compare load-carrying capacity of implants and to evaluate the influence of available bone height and implant dimensions on load-carrying capacity. For all implants, UFL was calculated by limiting von Mises stresses in cortical or cancellous bone with bone strength (100 MPa for cortical and 2 MPa for cancellous bone). Implant load-carrying capacity depends on diameter and available bone height. Wide implants have higher load-carrying capacity than narrow implants. Short implants with proper diameter and length avoid bone overstress, even in Type IV bone.

Abstract
Edentulous sites are often characterized by inadequate bone volume for dental implant therapy. Bone augmentation procedures for site development involve longer healing period and are often invasive, costly, and associated with postoperative morbidity. This article discusses alternatives to invasive bone grafting procedures that are often used to develop implant sites. Owing to the broad nature of this topic, it is presented in two articles. In part I, the use of short and narrow-diameter implants are discussed. Part II reviews the use of tilted as well as fewer implants to support a prosthesis.

Abstract
Background: The use of dental implants as a prosthetic treatment modality for partially edentulous or completely edentulous patients is increased more commonly ever since the concept of osseointegration has been accepted. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the awareness, knowledge, attitude, and acceptance of dental implants as a treatment modality among patients visiting SDM Dental College, Dharwad. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 500 patients visiting SDM College of Dental Sciences and Hospital (SDMCDSH), Dharwad, using a self-explanatory questionnaire. Results: A total of 500 individuals participated in the survey. The results of this survey indicate that 93.4% of the patients knew about dental implants, and for majority of them, the major source of information was through their dentist followed by relatives and friends and electronic media. About 60.4% patients disapproved the removable prosthesis as an option for the replacement of missing teeth. 77.2% patients expressed that they could not afford for the dental implant treatment. The major deterioration for this treatment was related to the cost in 80.4% patients, surgical procedure in 11.6% patients, and a long treatment time in 5.6% patients. While 60.4% patients felt that dental implants being expensive, is the treatment option only for the rich. Conclusion: The results of this survey showed that majority of the patients visiting SDMCDSH, Dharwad, were aware about dental implants as a treatment modality for the replacement of missing teeth. Although the attitude was positive and they did accept dental implants as a treatment option, the treatment cost mainly was the major reason to take a back step.

Abstract
Currently, there does not exist a strategy that can reduce diabetes and scientists are working towards a cure and innovative approaches by employing stem cell-based therapies. On the other hand, bioprinting technology is a novel therapeutic approach that aims to replace the diseased or lost β-cells, insulin-secreting cells in the pancreas, which can potentially regenerate damaged organs such as the pancreas. Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell lines including insulin-producing cells. However, there are still barriers that hamper the successful differentiation of stem cells into β-cells. In this review, we focus on the potential applications of stem cell research and bioprinting that may be targeted towards replacing the β-cells in the pancreas and may offer approaches towards treatment of diabetes. This review emphasizes on the applicability of employing both stem cells and other cells in 3D bioprinting to generate substitutes for diseased β-cells and recover lost pancreatic functions. The article then proceeds to discuss the overall research done in the field of stem cell-based bioprinting and provides future directions for improving the same for potential applications in diabetic research.

Abstract
Biomaterials have been widely used for stomatological reconstructive surgery in recent years. Many studies have demonstrated that the porous structure of an implant promotes bone ingrowth and its stiffness can be controlled via the design of the porosity. Although some researchers have paid attention to investigating the porous structure for dental implants, the biomechanical properties and osseointegration have not been well studied. In this study, finite element analysis and experiments have been used to evaluate the biomechanical performance and osseointegration of dental implants with porous/solid structures fabricated by selective laser melting using commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti, Grade 2). The implants were tested and the fracture surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscope to investigate the failure mechanisms. To reduce bone resorption, the porosity of dental implant was designed to optimize its stiffness. Finally, animal experiments revealed that bone tissue ingrowth was seen into the porous structure. It is believed that the porous dental implants have great potential in future applications.
