Dent Mater 2024; 40:493-499. [PMID: 38176998 PMCID: PMC10942759 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2023.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate torque maintenance and structural damage in implant components of different diameters subjected to a fatigue challenge. METHODS Thirty 10-mm-long, morse taper connection, titanium dental implants and their corresponding one-piece abutments were divided into three groups (n = 10) according to implant diameter: 4.3 mm (I4.3), 3.5 mm (I3.5), and 2.9 mm (I2.9). The implants were placed into a load-bearing fixture simulating bone tissue (modified G10), and the abutments were screwed into the implants to a final torque of 20 Ncm for the I4.3 and I3.5 and 15 Ncm for I2.9. The torque was secured by a digital torque meter. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were acquired and post-processed (e-Vol DX software) for all implant/abutment sets before and after subjecting them to fatigue in 37 °C distilled water (2 million cycles, constant load and frequency). The removal torque was measured using the same digital torque meter to calculate the difference in torque before and after fatigue. RESULTS I2.9 showed substantial structural deformation compared with the other implant diameters (I3.5 and I4.3). However, the experimental groups did not show statistical differences for abutment loosening. SIGNIFICANCE Implants smaller than 3.5 mm in diameter have a higher probability of structural deformation than standard-diameter implants. The association between tomographic scans and e-Vol DX software showed satisfactory consistency with the direct assessment using the digital torque meter, offering an additional tool to evaluate implant component loosening and structural deformations.

Mirdad A. Particulate bone grafting with a resorbable collagen membrane and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation with tenting screws in dental implant placement: A case report. Clin Case Rep 2024; 12:e8359. [PMID: 38193035 PMCID: PMC10772354 DOI: 10.1002/ccr3.8359] [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: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Key Clinical Message We used a mixture of particulate bone grafts (xenografts/allografts) with tenting screws to prevent membrane collapse and covered the graft with a resorbable collagen membrane to guide bone regeneration. This strategy can exclude the need for additional procedures, such as non-resorbable membranes and major block grafting surgeries. Although the initial outcomes are promising, continuous follow-up is required to examine the stability of the newly regenerated bone and the long-term success of the implant. Abstract This case demonstrates the use of particulate bone grafts covered with a resorbable collagen membrane and supported by tenting screws to correct horizontal alveolar ridge defects. A man in his 40s presented with missing maxillary anterior central and lateral incisors and required a fixed dental prosthesis. One year before, #12, #11, #21, and #22 had been extracted. The area showed horizontal and slight vertical bone loss. We used a mixture of particulate bone grafts (xenografts and allografts) with tenting screws to prevent membrane collapse and covered the graft with a resorbable collagen membrane to guide bone regeneration. After 6 months, complete bone regeneration was achieved, and the dental implants were submerged in the bone. After another 6 months, the patient was administered with a fixed dental prosthesis. This method can be used to correct horizontal alveolar ridge defects and achieve esthetic restoration without the need for more extensive procedures.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the tent-pole technique for alveolar ridge preservation of compromised alveolar socket following the surgical extraction of incurable single root premolars. Materials and methods This study was conducted on 12 patients who presented to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery and had alveolar ridge preservation using tent-pole technique between August 2021 and February 2022. The alveolar ridge width was analyzed using cone beam computed tomography scans taken preoperative and 6 months postoperative. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the alveolar ridge width at different levels. The alveolar ridge width differences between periods were assessed with paired t-test. The comparison of alveolar ridge width loss according to jaw, sex, and different levels were done with unpaired t-test. The level of significance considered was 5% (α=0.05). Results The mean alveolar ridge width before surgery was 10.03 mm. After 6 months, the mean alveolar ridge width was 8.4 mm. The range of alveolar ridge width loss was between 0.6 and 3.22 mm with a mean of 1.63 (16.25%). There was no statistically significant difference in width loss between the maxilla and mandibular whether in males or females. Alveolar bone width loss was the greatest at W1 level (26.8%). Conclusion According to the results of this study, the authors conclude that the tent-pole technique could preserve the alveolar bone ridge width without bone graft materials.

Abstract
Horizontal bone augmentation is a common surgical procedure used in implant therapy to achieve adequate bone volume to permit dental implant placement. However, most current techniques are focused on unidirectional bone reconstruction (grafting only on the buccal side). This study was carried out to validate a new device that will permit bidirectional bone augmentation. Ten patients of both sexes (7 women and 3 men), with ages ranging from 29 to 62 years, who needed a bidirectional horizontal bone augmentation in maxilla were separated in accordance with the horizontal alveolar change (HAC) classification published by Pelegrine et al (2018). The patients classified as HAC 3 (ie, containing remaining cancellous bone at the recipient bed) received the Barbell device with xenogeneic biomaterial and a collagen membrane, whereas HAC 4 patients (ie, with no remaining cancellous bone at the recipient bed) received the Barbell device with a mixture of autogenous bone chips and xenogeneic biomaterial covered by a collagen membrane. For each patient, two computerized tomography scans were performed (T0 at baseline and T1 at 6 months postoperative examinations). Mean bone thickness (T0) in the studied sites were 3.25 ± 0.35 in HAC 3 and 1.98 ± 0.5 in HAC 4 patients. The mean bone thickness achieved after 6 months was 7.70 ± 0.89 mm and 8.62 ± 0.89 in HAC 3 and 4, respectively. All grafted sites were able to receive dental implants in adequate prosthetic positions. Based on these results, the use of this novel device permits bidirectional horizontal bone augmentation.

Abstract
FOCUSED CLINICAL QUESTION What factors identify the optimal bone augmentation techniques for managing slight, moderate, and severe horizontal alveolar ridge deficiency (ARD) at dental implant sites? SUMMARY Horizontal ARD is a concern at a high proportion of sites receiving dental implants, and clinicians have developed a variety of surgical procedures to address such defects. In a particular case, selection of the optimal treatment may depend predominantly on defect severity, location (anterior versus posterior), and configuration (contained versus noncontained). This report provides a framework for selecting an augmentation method when presented with a slight, moderate, or severe horizontal ARD at a site requiring dental implant placement. CONCLUSION Multiple treatment options are available for planned implant sites exhibiting horizontal ARD; severe posterior and slight anterior defects intuitively call for different approaches. Although rigid guidelines for selecting the optimal augmentation method do not exist, some techniques are poorly suited for esthetically demanding sites. A framework considering defect severity, location, and configuration may help guide clinical decisions on this topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To radiographically analyze the effects of tenting screw technique (TS) and onlay bone grafts (OG) in horizontal bone augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients receiving horizontal bone augmentation by TS or OG were selected. The clinical outcomes and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data were documented pre-grafting, immediately post-grafting, before and after implantation. The survival rates, clinical complications, alveolar bone width, and volumetric bone augmentation were evaluated and statistically analyzed. RESULTS A total of 25 patients and 41 implants were involved in this study, with no grafting failures observed in either the TS group (n = 20) or the onlay group (n = 21). Volumetric bone resorption rate in the TS group (21.34%) was significantly lower than that of the OG group (29.38%). In addition, significant horizontal bone gain was achieved in both groups (TS: 6.15 ± 2.12 mm; OG: 4.86 ± 1.40 mm) during the recovery period, with higher gain in the TS group. No apparent statistical difference in terms of volumetric bone gain was observed between the TS (748.53 mm3 , 607.47 mm3 ) and OG group (811.77 mm3 , 508.49 mm3 ) immediately post-grafting or after the recovery period. CONCLUSION Both TS and OG achieved satisfactory bone augmentation effects, yet TS resulted in more bone augmentation and better stability than OG, with a reduced use of autogenous bone. Overall, the tenting screw technique can serve as an effective alternative to autogenous bone grafts.

Abstract
AIM To 3-dimensional radiographically assess the effect of titanium plate in guided bone regeneration (GBR) for the treatment of peri-implant ridge defects in esthetic zone. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nineteen patients with buccal peri-implant defects in the maxillary esthetic zone were treated with GBR using xenograft, autogenous bone, and collagen membrane. Subjects were divided into two groups: control (conventional GBR, 10 patients with 16 implants) and test (GBR with an adjunctive titanium plate; nine patients with 15 implants). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images obtained immediately after and 5-7 months following GBR were used to assess buccal crestal bone level (BBL) and buccal bone thickness (BBT) at different implant levels. RESULTS Thirty-one implants in 19 patients were evaluated. Titanium plate exposure occurred in three cases (33.33%) of the test group. After 5-7 months, the mean BBL was located 1.48 ± 0.71 mm coronal to the platform in the test group and 0.90 ± 3.03 mm coronal to the platform in the control group (p = 0.03). The mean over all BBT (BBT-M) was 4.16 ± 0.48 mm in the test group and 2.38 ± 0.97 mm in the control group (p < 0.01). More resorption occurred in the control group than in the test group regarding mean BBL (3.00 ± 3.11 mm vs. 0.78 ± 0.79 mm, respectively; p = 0.04), BBT-M change (1.87 ± 1.59 mm vs. 0.56 ± 0.33 mm, respectively; p = 0.02), and percentage change in BBT-M (40.69 ± 24.01% vs. 11.53 ± 5.86%, respectively; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION In the short-term, titanium plate-enhanced GBR maintained ridge dimensions better than conventional GBR did.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies evaluating guided bone regeneration (GBR) on knife-edge ridges using absorbable membranes with staged approaches have reported various horizontal bone gains. This study compared the horizontal bone gain obtained via a conventional technique of GBR and a recently-reported technique. Bone loss during the healing process was also measured. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent GBR on knife-edge ridges via a conventional technique (control group) or the Sausage Technique (test group) were included in this study. GBR was performed using a collagen membrane and deproteinized bovine bone mineral combined with an autogenous graft at a 1:1 ratio. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed preoperatively, postoperatively, and after the patient healed. Horizontal bone width was measured on CBCT images 2 mm apical from the top of the crest. The preoperative CBCT and posthealing CBCT were superimposed to calculate the bone gain after healing, and the preoperative and postoperative CBCT scans were superimposed to calculate the bone gain after surgery. Bone loss during healing was calculated by subtracting the width of the ridge after healing from the postoperative width. RESULTS The mean horizontal bone gain was significantly lower in the control group (2.7 ± 1.8 mm; 83.2%) than in the test group (5.3 ± 2.3 mm; 216.8%) (p = 0.003). The average horizontal bone loss between regeneration and implant placement was 0.9 mm in the control group (27.9%) and 2.1 mm in the test group (29.4%). While the absolute bone loss was significantly different (p = 0.012), the percentage of bone resorption was not (p = 0.608). CONCLUSION The new technique resulted in significantly more bone gain than a conventional GBR technique. The rate of graft resorption during healing was stable regardless of the amount of grafted material.

Abstract
This study aimed to test whether or not a digital workflow for GBR with particulate bone substitutes and injectable platelet-rich fibrin improved the thickness of the hard tissue compared to the conventional workflow. 26 patients in need of lateral bone augmentation were enrolled. GBR with particulate bone substitutes and injectable platelet-rich fibrin was performed in all patients. Patients were divided into two groups: control (conventional workflow; n = 14) and test (digital workflow; n = 12). CBCT scans were performed before surgery, immediately after wound closure, and 6 months post-surgery, and the labial thickness of the hard tissue (LT) was assessed at 0–5 mm apical to the implant shoulder (LT0–LT5) at each time point. A total of 26 patients were included in this study. After wound closure, the test group showed significantly greater thickness in LT0–LT2 than the control group (LT0: test: 4.31 ± 0.73 mm, control: 2.99 ± 1.02 mm; LT1: test: 4.55 ± 0.69 mm, control: 3.60 ± 0.96 mm; LT2: test: 4.76 ± 0.54 mm, control: 4.05 ± 1.01 mm; p < 0.05). At 6 months, significant differences in LT0–LT1 were detected between the groups (LT0: test: 1.88 ± 0.57 mm, control: 1.08 ± 0.60 mm; LT1: test: 2.36 ± 0.66 mm, control: 1.69 ± 0.58 mm; p < 0.05). Within the limitations of this study, the use of digital workflow in GBR with particulate bone substitutes and i-PRF exerted a positive effect on the labial thickness of hard tissue in the coronal portion of the implant after wound closure and at 6 months.

Alveolar Bone Ridge Augmentation Using Polymeric Membranes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:1172. [PMID: 33917475 PMCID: PMC8038790 DOI: 10.3390/polym13071172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Alveolar bone ridge resorption occurred after natural teeth loss and it can restrict the possibility of dental implants placement. The use of bone regenerative procedures is frequently required. The existing evidence regarding the efficacy of horizontal bone ridge augmentation trough guided bone regeneration (GBR) using polymeric membranes was stated. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. Electronic and manual literature searches were conducted. Screening process was done using the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE by PubMed), Embase, and the Cochrane Oral Health. Included articles were randomized controlled trials and observational studies. Weighted means were calculated. Heterogeneity was determined using Higgins (I2). If I2 > 50% a random-effects model was applied. It was found that the mean of horizontal bone gain was 3.95 mm, ranging from 3.19 to 4.70 mm (confidence interval 95%). Heterogeneity is I2 = 99% (confidence interval 95%) and significance of the random-effects model was p < 0.001. The complications rate was 8.4% and membrane exposure was the most frequent. Through this study, we were able to conclude that the existing scientific evidence suggests that GBR using polymeric membranes is a predictable technique for achieving horizontal bone augmentation, thus, permitting a proper further implant placement.
