Acta Odontol Scand 2024; 83:493-499. [PMID: 39267359 PMCID: PMC11423694 DOI: 10.2340/aos.v83.41226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/17/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the correlation between the marginal bone height of implants in the posterior maxilla of patients with periodontal disease and the inclination of cusp, providing a theoretical basis for the occlusal design of implant restorations in such patients. Methods: A total of 80 patients with periodontal disease who underwent implant restoration in the posterior maxilla (55 men and 25 women; mean age 56.66 ± 12.70 years) were selected, with a total of 80 implant restorations (one implant restoration per patient). In addition to recording the main research factor of the inclination of cusp, general patient information, implant characteristics and restoration characteristics were taken, and retrospective analysis of the case data and imaging data of the 80 patients from over 3 years was conducted. Cone beam computed tomography was performed preoperatively and 3 years after implant loading to measure and calculate the marginal bone height of the implants using the One Volume Viewer software. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the inclination of the cusp and marginal bone height. Results: There was a positive correlation between the inclination of cusp and the marginal bone height of the implants, with a correlation coefficient of 0.661 (p < 0.001); the diameter of the implants, implant type and restoration type were negatively correlated with the marginal bone height of the implants, with correlation coefficients of -0.364 (p = 0.001), -0.232 (p = 0.038) and -0.298 (p = 0.007), respectively. Conclusion: When designing the occlusion of implant restorations in the posterior maxilla of patients with periodontal disease, it is advisable to appropriately reduce the restoration's inclination of cusp.

Petricevic N, Celebic A, Puljic D, Milat O, Divjak A, Kovacic I. Effects of Loading Forces, Loading Positions, and Splinting of Two, Three, or Four Ti-Zr (Roxolid ®) Mini-Implants Supporting the Mandibular Overdentures on Peri-Implant and Posterior Edentulous Area Strains. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:260. [PMID: 39330235 PMCID: PMC11433416 DOI: 10.3390/jfb15090260] [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: 08/12/2024] [Revised: 08/30/2024] [Accepted: 09/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Clinical indications for the Ti-Zr alloy (Roxolid®) mini-implants (MDIs) in subjects with narrow ridges are still under review. The aim was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area strains dependent on the MDI number, splinting status, loading force, and loading position. Six models were digitally designed and printed. Two, three, or four Ti-Zr MDIs, splinted with a bar or unsplinted (single units), supported mandibular overdentures (ODs), loaded with 50-300 N forces unilaterally, bilaterally, and anteriorly. The artificial mucosa thickness was 2 mm. Strain gauges were bonded on the vestibular and oral peri-implant sides of each MDI, and on the posterior edentulous area under the ODs. Loadings were performed through the metal plate placed on ODs' artificial teeth (15 times repeated). Arithmetic means with standard deviations and the significance of the differences (MANOVA, Sheffe post hoc) were calculated. Different MDI numbers, loading positions, forces, and splinting elicited different peri-implant microstrains. In the two-MDI models, 300 N force during unilateral loading elicited the highest microstrains (almost 3000 εμ on the loaded side), which can jeopardize bone reparation. On the opposite side, >2500 εμ was registered, which represents high strains. During bilateral loadings, microstrains hardly exceeded 2000 εμ, indicating that bilateral chewers or subjects having lower forces can benefit from the two Ti-Zr MDIs, irrespective of splinting. However, in subjects chewing unilaterally, and inducing higher forces (natural teeth antagonists), or bruxers, only two MDIs may not be sufficient to support the OD. By increasing implant numbers, peri-implant strains decrease in both splinted and single-unit MDI models, far beyond values that can interfere with bone reparation, indicating that splinting is not necessary. When the positions of the loading forces are closer to the implant, higher peri-implant strains are induced. Regarding the distal edentulous area, microstrains reached 2000 εμ only during unilateral loadings in the two-MDI models, and all other strains were lower, below 1500 εμ, confirming that implant-supported overdentures do not lead to edentulous ridge atrophy.

Abstract
(1) Background: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been used as an alternative to titanium in implant prosthetic systems, but its impact on stress distribution in implant systems needs to be investigated. This study aimed to compare the effect of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium abutments on implant prosthetic systems and the supporting bone using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). (2) Methods: Three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted using CATIA V5 and Abaqus V6.12 software to model mandibular first-molar implant systems with titanium and PEEK abutments. Under external loading conditions, finite element analysis was conducted for the stresses in the implant components and surrounding bones of each group. (3) Results: The implant fixture of the PEEK model exhibited the highest von Mises stress (VMS). The lowest VMS was observed in the abutment screw of the titanium model. Both implant systems demonstrated similar stress distributions and magnitudes in cortical and cancellous bones. (4) Conclusion: PEEK abutments show a similar stress distribution in the surrounding bone compared to titanium. However, PEEK absorbs the stresses within the implant system and exhibits the highest VMS values due to its low mechanical and physical properties. Therefore, PEEK abutments need improved mechanical properties for better clinical application.

Abstract
Aging, tooth trauma, and pathological infections cause partial or total tooth loss, leading to the usage of dental implants for restoration treatments. As such, mechanical and tribological properties play an important role in the osseointegration and durability of these implants. Metallic and ceramic implants are shown to have mechanical properties much higher than the natural teeth structure, leading to stress shielding-related failure of an implant. Stress shielding occurs due to the difference in the elastic modulus between the implant material and the surrounding teeth structure, leading to bone loss and implant failure. The implant's properties (i.e., mechanical) should be as close as human teeth components. To achieve this, various materials and coatings are being developed and investigated. This review is a comprehensive survey of materials, manufacturing, coating techniques, and mechanical and tribological characterizations of dental implants, with a particular focus on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) as a potential alternative dental implant material. PEEK has mechanical properties similar to natural teeth, which make it a promising material for dental implants. The findings of this review suggest that PEEK offers superior biocompatibility, osseointegration, and wear resistance for implant applications. With the help of bioactive coatings, bone growth on the implant surface can be promoted. In addition, PEEK dental implants made using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology can significantly reduce the cost of implants, making them more affordable and increasing access to dental care, which can improve oral health significantly. In summary, this review highlights the potential of PEEK as a promising alternative dental implant material, and provides an overview of various techniques, testing, and future directions for PEEK dental implants.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone tissue effects under dynamic loading using finite element analysis (FEA) for four angled abutments with different deviated palatal lateral tilt angles. A three-dimensional model of the posterior maxillary region and an implant crown model were reconstructed and assembled with a three-dimensional model of the implant, angled abutment, and central screw to create a total of 10 three-dimensional finite element models tilted at 15 ∘ , 20 ∘ , 25 ∘ , and 30 ∘ in three groups, and the dynamic loads simulating oral mastication were loaded on the implant crown to analyze the equivalent stresses and strains in the peri-implant bone tissues. Under the dynamic loading, the cortical bone on the buccal side of the implant neck showed different degrees of stress concentration, and the cortical bone stress was much higher than the cancellous bone, and the strain concentration area of each model was located in the bone tissue around the implant neck and base. For the use of angular abutment, under the premise that the cortical bone stresses and strains of the 10 models meet the requirements for use, the peak stresses of 2.907 MPa, 3.018 MPa, and 2.164 MPa were achieved by using the 20 ∘ angular abutment to achieve the tilt angles of 20 ∘ , 25 ∘ , and 30 ∘ implantation, which is more advantageous compared with other models.

ACS Biomater Sci Eng 2024; 10:4562-4574. [PMID: 38916970 PMCID: PMC11234333 DOI: 10.1021/acsbiomaterials.3c01809] [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: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess the risk of peri-implantitis (PI) onset among different implant systems and evaluate the severity of the disease from a population of patients treated in a university clinic. Furthermore, this study intends to thoroughly examine the surface properties of the implant systems that have been identified and investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from a total of six hundred and 14 patients were extracted from the Institute of Clinical Dentistry, Dental Faculty, University of Oslo. Subject- and implant-based variables were collected, including the type of implant, date of implant installation, medical records, recall appointments up to 2022, periodontal measurements, information on diabetes, smoking status, sex, and age. The outcome of interest was the diagnosis of PI, defined as the occurrence of bleeding on probing (BoP), peri-implant probing depth (PD) ≥ 5 mm, and bone loss (BL). Data were analyzed using multivariate linear and logistic regression. Scanning electron microscopy, light laser profilometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were utilized for surface and chemical analyses. RESULTS Among the patients evaluated, 6.8% were diagnosed with PI. A comparison was made between two different implant systems: Dentsply Sirona, OsseospeedTM and Straumann SLActive, with mean follow-up times of 3.84 years (SE: 0.15) and 3.34 years (SE: 0.15), respectively. The surfaces have different topographies and surface chemistry. However, no significant association was found between PI and implant surface/system, including no difference in the onset or severity of the disease. Nonetheless, plaque control was associated with an increased risk of developing PI, along with the gender of the patient. Furthermore, patients suffering from PI exhibited increased BL in the anterior region. CONCLUSION No differences were observed among the evaluated implant systems, although the surfaces have different topography and chemistry. Factors that affected the risk of developing PI were plaque index and male gender. The severity of BL in patients with PI was more pronounced in the anterior region. Consequently, our findings show that success in implantology is less contingent on selecting implant systems and more on a better understanding of patient-specific risk factors, as well as on implementing biomaterials that can more effectively debride dental implants.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 154:106530.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing enables local grading of the stiffness of dental implants through targeted adjustment of the manufacturing parameters to meet patient specific requirements. The extent to which such a manufacturing approach affects the interaction between the implant body and the surrounding bone, and what grading is optimal, is currently insufficiently investigated. This study investigates the effect of different Young's modulus grading approaches on stresses in the peri-implant bone via finite element analysis. The implant geometry was kept constant and in the case of the implant a node-dependent elastic modulus was assigned. In this way, a vertical, a radial and three torus based grading approaches were created and examined. A load was then applied directly to the occlusal surface of the implant crown. It was found that a local grading utilizing a torus shape was most favourable in terms of an effective stress peak reduction. The best torus shape tested achieved a 22 % reduction of maximum principal stress and 6 % reduction of minimum principal stress compared to the uniform material. In clinical settings, this may provide benefits in situations of overload. Based on the results, a graded stiffness in dental implants appears to be of interest for developing advanced, patient-specific implant solutions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of restorative materials with or without resin content, modeled on zirconia and titanium abutment materials, on the stress distribution on the alveolar bone, implant, and prosthetic crowns with a 3D finite element stress analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Titanium and zirconia abutments were combined with three implant-supported crown materials (polymer infiltrated hybrid ceramic (PICN), lithium disilicate (LD), and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS)) to create six experimental groups. The 40 × 30 × 20 mm alveolar bone, 3.75 × 10 mm implant, esthetic abutment, and maxillary first premolar crown bonded over the abutment were the components of the finite element models. On the lingual cusp of the crown, the 150 N occlusal loading was applied in the buccolingual direction at a 30° angle. Equivalent von Mises stress and maximum and minimum principal stresses were used for both the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the stress distribution of the created models. RESULTS The von Mises stress in implant and abutment did not differ according to the crown materials. The use of a zirconia abutment resulted in higher von Mises stress values in the abutment but lower stress values in the implant. The highest stress values were obtained in ZLS (196.65 MPa) and LD (194.05 MPa) crowns. The use of titanium abutments, regardless of crown materials, resulted in higher von Mises stress values in restorative crowns than in zirconia abutments. The principal stress values in alveolar bone showed similar distribution and concentration in all models. CONCLUSIONS Changes in crown material did not affect stress distribution in the implant and peripheral bone. However, the zirconia esthetic abutment resulted in a lower stress concentration on the implant.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of the present study was to ascertain the effect of immediate occlusal loading after implant placement on osseointegration and the micro/nanostructure of the surrounding bone. METHODS After extraction of a rat maxillary right second molar, an implant was placed immediately with initial fixation (2 N< ). The implants were placed to avoid occlusal loading due to mastication, and in the loaded group, a superstructure was fabricated and subjected to occlusal loading. Bone morphometry, collagen fiber anisotropy, and biological apatite (BAp) crystallite alignment were quantitatively evaluated in both groups after extraction and fixation of the jaw bone at Days 7 and 21 after surgery. RESULTS Osseointegration was observed in both groups. Bone morphometry showed significant differences in bone volume, trabecular number, trabecular thickness and bone mineral density (BMD) at Days 21 postoperatively (P < 0.05). A significant difference was also found in the trabecular separation at Days 7 postoperatively (P < 0.05). In the evaluation of collagen fiber anisotropy, collagen fiber bundles running differently from the existing bone were observed in both groups. In terms of BAp crystallite alignment, a specific structure was observed in the reconstructed new bone after implantation, and preferential orientation of BAp crystallite alignment was observed in the longitudinal direction of the implants in the Day 21 postoperative loaded group. CONCLUSION When sufficient initial fixation is achieved at the time of dental implant placement, then the applied masticatory load may contribute to rapidly achieving not only bone volume, but also adequate bone quality after implant placement.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The use of dental implants shorter than 10 mm in length increases the crown-implant ratio. Whether an increased crown-implant ratio affects the survival rate and complications is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of the crown-implant ratio on the survival rate and complications of implant-supported prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane) were electronically and manually searched for longitudinal studies with a follow-up period of 3 years or longer. The study question was "Does the crown-implant ratio affect survival rate and complications of implant-supported prostheses?" The outcomes investigated were implant survival rate, peri-implant bone resorption rate, implant fracture rate, and other technical complications in the implant components. RESULTS A total of 670 studies were identified from the research in the databases. By applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria to the full texts, 17 articles were included for descriptive analysis. Qualitative data analysis showed that the survival rate of implant-supported prostheses with a crown-implant ratio greater than 2 was 97.2%, and for a ratio lower than 1, it was about 97.6%. Moreover, 9 papers reported that increasing the crown-implant ratio reduced bone resorption, while 8 other studies reported no significant association between the increase in the crown-implant ratio and bone resorption. CONCLUSIONS No significant relationship was found between the crown-implant ratio and implant survival rate. However, increasing the crown-implant ratio is likely to decrease bone loss around the implant. Information was insufficient to analyze the relationship between the crown-implant ratio and technical complications in implant-supported prostheses.

Abstract
Dental implants are a regular feature in daily clinical practice and there is a need to undertake routine assessment and maintenance of implants and their restorations on par with that provided for natural teeth. Occlusal checks form an important part of the maintenance regime for preserving the integrity of implants, their restorations, and health of the peri-implant tissues. Implant restorations are subjected to the full characteristics and magnitude of occlusal forces, including those associated with parafunction. Compared with the periodontal ligament around teeth, the biophysical response to occlusal forces of osseointegration is different through the more rigid link of implant to bone and reduced proprioception. Risks attributable to occlusal forces primarily affect implant restorations and they are elevated in the presence of bruxism. The occlusal guidelines recommended by the literature are aimed at reducing these risks and regular assessment and maintenance of the occlusion is essential. A four-step sequence is presented to ensure that the annual occlusal checks include the patient's input and evaluation of restoration integrity, occlusal scheme, additional protection, and spatial changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical scenarios frequently present challenges when patients exhibit asymmetrical mandibular atrophy. The dilemma arises: should we adhere to the conventional All-on-4 technique, or should we contemplate placing vertically oriented implants on the side with sufficient bone mass? This study aims to employ three-dimensional finite element analysis to simulate and explore the biomechanical advantages of each approach. METHODS A finite element model, derived from computed tomography (CT) data, was utilized to simulate the nonhomogeneous features of the mandible. Three configurations-All-on-4, All-on-5-v and All-on-5-o were studied. Vertical and oblique forces of 200 N were applied unilaterally, and vertical force of 100 N was applied anteriorly to simulate different masticatory mechanisms. The maximum von Mises stresses on the implant and framework were recorded, as well as the maximum equivalent strain in the peri-implant bone. RESULTS The maximum stress values for all designs were located at the neck of the distal implant, and the maximum strains in the bone tissue were located around the distal implant. The All-on-5-o and All-on-5-v models exhibited reduced stresses and strains compared to All-on-4, highlighting the potential benefits of the additional implant. There were no considerable differences in stresses and strains between the All-on-5-o and All-on-5-v groups. CONCLUSIONS With the presence of adequate bone volume on one side and severe atrophy of the contralateral bone, while the "All-on-4 concept" is a viable approach, vertical implant placement optimizes the transfer of forces between components and tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reduced treatment time of dental implants with immediate loading protocol is an appealing solution for dentists and patients. However, there remains a significant risk of early peri-implant bone response following the placement of immediately loaded implants, and limited information is available regarding loading directions and the associated in vivo characteristics of peri-implant bone during the early stages. This study aimed to investigate the effects of immediate loading directionality on the expression of mechanical sensing protein PIEZO1 and the healing process of peri-implant bone in the early stage. METHODS Thirty-two implants were inserted into the goat iliac crest models with 10 N static lateral immediate loading applied, followed by histological, histomorphological, immunohistochemical, X-ray microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy evaluations conducted after 10 days. RESULTS From evaluations at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels, it was observed that the expression of mechanical sensing protein PIEZO1 in peri-implant bone was significantly higher in the compressive side compared to the tensile side. This finding coincided with trends observed in interfacial bone extracellular matrix (ECM) contact percentage, bone mass, and new bone formation. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a novel insight into the immediate loading directionality as a potential influence factor for dental implant treatments by demonstrating differential effects on the mechanical sensing protein PIEZO1 expression and related early-stage healing processes of peri-implant bone. Immediate loading directions serve as potential therapeutic influence factors for peri-implant bone during its early healing stage.

Mandibular Overdenture Supported by Two or Four Unsplinted or Two Splinted Ti-Zr Mini-Implants: In Vitro Study of Peri-Implant and Edentulous Area Strains. Biomimetics (Basel) 2024; 9:178. [PMID: 38534864 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics9030178] [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: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Clinical indications for the newly released Ti-Zr (Roxolid®) alloy mini-implants (MDIs) aimed for overdenture (OD) retention in subjects with narrow alveolar ridges are not fully defined. The aim of this study was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area microstrains utilizing models of the mandible mimicking a "real" mouth situation with two (splinted with a bar or as single units) or four unsplinted Ti-Zr MDIs. The models were virtually designed from a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of a convenient patient and printed. The artificial mucosa was two millimeters thick. After MDI insertion, the strain gauges were bonded on the oral and vestibular peri-implant sites, and on distal edentulous areas under a denture. After attaching the ODs to MDIs, the ODs were loaded using a metal plate positioned on the first artificial molars (posterior loadings) bilaterally and unilaterally with 50, 100, and 150 N forces, respectively. During anterior loadings, the plate was positioned on the denture's incisors and loaded with 50 and 100 N forces. Each loading was repeated 15 times. The means with standard deviations, and the significance of the differences (two- and three-factor MANOVA) were calculated. Variations in the MDI number, location, and splinting status elicited different microstrains. Higher loading forces elicited higher microstrains. Unilateral loadings elicited higher microstrains than bilateral and anterior loadings, especially on the loading side. Peri-implant microstrains were lower in the four-MDI single-unit model than in both two-MDI models (unsplinted and splinted). Posterior implants showed higher peri-implant microstrains than anterior in the four-MDI model. The splinting of the two-MDI did not have a significant effect on peri-implant microstrains but elicited lower microstrains in the posterior edentulous area. The strains did not exceed the bone reparatory mechanisms, although precaution and additional study should be addressed when two Ti-Zr MDIs support mandibular ODs.

Abstract
Long-term clinical outcomes of short dental implants (≤6 mm) supporting single crowns or short fixed partial dentures have been reported differently in different studies and need more clarification. This systematic study evaluated the rate of bone loss (BL), the durability of implants equal to or shorter than 6 mm supporting single crowns or short fixed partial dentures, and prosthetic-related side effects during 5 years of follow-up. Five databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane) were electronically and manually searched for longitudinal studies with a follow-up period of 5 years or more until January 2023. The study question was, "Does the implant equal to or shorter than 6 mm affect BL and survival rate of the implant-supported prosthesis after 5 years of follow-up?". From 752 identified articles, nine studies were selected for further evaluation. After 5 years of follow-up, most studies had more than 90% survival rate and the maximum BL was 0.54 mm. Still, in internal and external connections, these changes were not substantial. For example, screw loosening was the most common problem with implanted prostheses. Implants of 6 mm or shorter are a suitable treatment option in atrophic ridges with good durability and fewer side effects during a follow-up period of more than 5 years.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Accurate implant placement is essential for the success of dental implants. This placement influences osseointegration and occlusal forces. The freehand technique, despite its cost-effectiveness and time efficiency, may result in significant angular deviations compared with guided implantation, but the effect of angular deviations on the stress-strain state of peri-implant bone is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this finite element analysis (FEA) study was to examine the effects of angular deviations on stress-strain states in peri-implant bone. MATERIAL AND METHODS Computational modeling was used to investigate 4 different configurations of dental implant positions, each with 3 angles of insertion. The model was developed using computed tomography images, and typical mastication forces were considered. Strains were analyzed using the mechanostat hypothesis. RESULTS The location of the implant had a significant impact on bone strain intensity. An angular deviation of ±5 degrees from the planned inclination did not significantly affect cancellous bone strains, which primarily support the implant. However, it had a substantial effect on strains in the cortical bone near the implant. Such deviations also significantly influenced implant stresses, especially when the support from the cortical bone was uneven or poorly localized. CONCLUSIONS In extreme situations, angular deviations can lead to overstraining the cortical bone, risking implant failure from unfavorable interaction with the implant. Accurate implant placement is essential to mitigate these risks.

Clinical performance of monolithic zirconia crowns on titanium-zirconium reduced-diameter implants in the molar area: Interim data at three years of a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present study was (i) to evaluate the clinical performance of reduced-diameter implants placed in the molar area and (ii) to test whether monolithic zirconia implant-supported crowns lead to similar clinical outcomes compared to porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 76 patients needing a single implant crown in the posterior region were recruited. All patients received a titanium-zirconium reduced-diameter implant (Straumann Roxolid, Tissue Level, Standard Plus, diameter 3.3 mm, regular neck) randomly allocated to receive either a (1) monolithic zirconia crown (test) or (2) porcelain-fused-to-metal crown (control). Implant survival, prosthetic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes were assessed at crown delivery and after 3 years of follow-up. Marginal bone levels (MBL) as well as clinical parameters including probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and plaque levels (PCR) were also recorded. RESULTS A total of 59 patients were available at the 3-year follow-up; 32 patients with a monolithic zirconia crown (TEST) and 27 patients with a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown (CONTROL). 14 implants (11 implant fractures/3 aseptic losses) were lost leading to an estimated implant survival rate of 80% ± 5.1% (95% CI 70.8%-90.8%). Prosthetic complications were limited to the control group and involved minor chippings. CONCLUSIONS This type of reduced-diameter implant to support single implant molar crowns in the molar area cannot be recommended. Monolithic zirconia crowns appear to be a viable option in the posterior region showing similar prosthetic outcomes to porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to provide evidence for the clinical application of single short implants by establishing an anisotropic, three-dimensional (3D) finite element mandible model and simulating the effect of crown-to-implant ratio (CIR) on biomechanics around short implants with different osseointegration rates. METHODS Assuming that the bone is transversely isotropic by finite element method, we created four distinct models of implants for the mandibular first molar. Subsequently, axial and oblique forces were applied to the occlusal surface of these models. Ultimately, the Abaqus 2020 software was employed to compute various mechanical parameters, including the maximum von Mises stress, tensile stress, compressive stress, shear stress, displacement, and strains in the peri-implant bone tissue. RESULTS Upon establishing consistent osseointegration rates, the distribution of stress exhibited similarities across models with varying CIRs when subjected to vertical loads. However, when exposed to inclined loads, the maximum von Mises stress within the cortical bone escalated as the CIR heightened. Among both loading scenarios, notable escalation in the maximum von Mises stress occurred in the model featuring a CIR of 2.5 and an osseointegration rate of 25%. Conversely, other models displayed comparable strength. Notably, stress and strain values uniformly increased with augmented osseointegration across all models. Furthermore, an increase in osseointegration rate correlated with reduced maximum displacement for both cortical bone and implants. CONCLUSIONS After fixing osseointegration rates, the stress around shorter implants increased as the CIR increased under inclined loads. Thus, the effect of lateral forces should be considered when selecting shorter implants. Moreover, an implant failure risk was present in cases with a CIR ≥ 2.5 and low osseointegration rates. Additionally, the higher the osseointegration rate, the more readily the implant can achieve robust stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The restoration of dental implants presents a unique challenge due to the intrinsic biomechanical differences between osseointegrated implants and natural teeth, and their subsequent responses to occlusal loading. However, controversy exists regarding the role that occlusion plays in the physiology of the peri-implant complex. PURPOSE To provide an overview of the scientific literature regarding occlusion as it relates to implant dentistry and peri-implant disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS This article presents a narrative review on occlusal loading and its potential effects on the peri-implant complex, as well as some generally accepted guidelines for occlusion in implant dentistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Although there is strong evidence linking occlusal factors to mechanical complications of dental implants, the same cannot be said regarding biological complications. There is no clear scientific evidence on the relationship between occlusal overload and peri-implant disease. However, occlusal overload may be an accelerating factor for peri-implant disease in the presence of inflammation. As the biomechanical properties of dental implants differ from that of the natural dentition, modifications to classic concepts of occlusion may be necessary when dental implants are involved. Thus, clinical recommendations are proposed which function to minimize unfavorable occlusal forces on implant restorations and reduce the associated biological and mechanical complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated the effects of the crown-to-implant (C/I) ratio on the marginal bone level (MBL) and bone density in non-splinted single implants. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of C/I ratio on MBL and density of peri-implant bone in non-splinted posterior implants. METHODS The C/I ratio, MBL, and grayscale values (GSVs) for bone density were measured from X-rays. Four areas of interest (two at the apical area and two at the middle of the peri-implant area) and two control areas were selected for evaluation. Follow-up radiographs were calibrated according to the control areas. RESULTS In all, 117 non-splinted posterior implants in 73 patients followed up for a mean duration of 36.23 ± 10.40 (range 24-72) months were considered. The mean anatomical C/I ratio was 1.78 ± 0.43 (range 0.93 to 3.06). The mean change in MBL was 0.28 ± 0.97 mm. There were no significant associations between the C/I ratio and MBL changes (r = -0.028, p = 0.766). Pearson correlation showed a significant correlation between changes in GSV and the C/I ratio in the middle peri-implant area (r = 0.301, p = 0.001) and apical area (r = 0.247, p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS A higher C/I ratio of single non-splinted posterior implants is associated with increased peri-implant bone density, but not correlated with changes in MBL.

Emam M, Arafa AM. Stress distribution and fracture resistance of green reprocessed polyetheretherketone (PEEK) single implant crown restorations compared to unreprocessed PEEK and Zirconia: an in-vitro study. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:275. [PMID: 37170111 PMCID: PMC10173503 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-02943-x] [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: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear which crown materials are optimum to disperse the generated stresses around dental implants. The objective of this study is to assess stress distribution and fracture resistance of green reprocessed Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in comparison to un-reprocessed PEEK and zirconia single implant crown restorations. METHODS Twenty crowns (n = 20) were obtained, five from zirconia and fifteen from pressed PEEK that were subdivided into 3 groups of five specimens each (n = 5) according to weight% of reprocessed material used. A 100% new PEEK was used for the first group, 50% new and 50% reprocessed PEEK were used for the second group, and a 100% reprocessed PEEK was used for the third group. Epoxy resin model with dental implant in the second mandibular premolar was constructed with strain gauges located mesially and distally to the implant to record strain while a load of 100 N was applied with 0.5 mm/min then specimens of all groups were vertically loaded till failure in a universal testing machine at cross head speed 1 mm/min. Data was statistically analyzed by using One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Post-hoc test when ANOVA test is significant. RESULTS No significant difference between strain values of tested groups (p = 0.174) was noticed. However, a significant difference between fracture resistance values was noticed where the zirconia group recorded a significantly higher value (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Implant restorative materials with different moduli of elasticity have similar effects regarding stresses distributed through dental implant and their surrounding bone. Reprocessed PEEK implant restorations transmit similar stresses to dental implant and surrounding bone as non-reprocessed PEEK and zirconia restorations. Zirconia failed at higher load values than all tested PEEK restorations but all can be safely used in the posterior area as crown restorations for single implants. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Applying "green dentistry" principles may extend to include reprocessing of pressed PEEK restorative materials without affecting the material's shock absorption properties.

J Prosthet Dent 2023; 129:447.e1-447.e10. [PMID: 36737356 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The clinical application of short implants has been increasing. However, studies on the marginal bone loss of short implants are sparse, and clinicians often choose short implants based on their own experience rather than on scientific information. PURPOSE The purpose of this finite element analysis study was to evaluate the microstrain-stress distribution in the peri-implant bone and implant components for 4 types of short implants at different placement depths of platform switching. MATERIAL AND METHODS By using short implants as prototypes, 4 short implant models were 1:1 modeled. The diameter and length of the implants were 5×5, 5×6, 6×5, and 6×6 mm. The restoration was identical for all implants. Three different depths of implant platform switching were set: equicrestal, 0.5-mm subcrestal, and 1-mm subcrestal. The models were then assembled and assigned an occlusal force of 200 N (vertical or 30-degree oblique). A finite element analysis was carried out to evaluate the maximum equivalent elastic strain and von Mises stress in the bone and the stress distribution in the implant components. RESULTS The 5×5 implant group showed the largest intraosseous strain (21.921×103 με). A 1-mm increase in implant diameter resulted in a 17.1% to 37.4% reduction in maximum intraosseous strain when loaded with oblique forces. The strain in the bone tended to be much smaller than the placement depth at the equicrestal and 0.5-mm subcrestal positions than that at the 1-mm subcrestal position, especially under oblique force loading, with an increase of approximately 37.4% to 81.8%. In addition, when the cortical bone thickness was less than 4 mm, 5×6 implants caused significantly higher intraosseous stresses than 6×6 implants. CONCLUSIONS Large implant diameters, rather than long implants, led to reduced intraosseous strain, especially under oblique loading. Regarding the implant platform switching depth, the short implant showed small intraosseous strains when the platform switching depth was equicrestal or 0.5-mm subcrestal.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare marginal bone loss (MBL) around dental implants in a group of bruxers in relation to a matched group of non-bruxers. METHODS The present record-based retrospective study included patients selected from individuals treated with dental implants at one specialist clinic in Malmö. Only implants not lost and with baseline radiographs taken within 12 months after implant placement and with a minimum of 36 months of radiological follow-up were considered for inclusion. Univariate linear regression models and a linear mixed-effects model were performed. RESULTS Two hundred and four patients (104 bruxers, 100 non-bruxers), with a total of 811 implants (416 in bruxers, 395 in non-bruxers) were included in the study. The results of the linear mixed-effects model suggested that bruxism, smoking, age, region of the jaws, implant diameter, and prosthesis type had a statistically significant influence on MBL over time. Individuals who are both bruxers and smokers showed greater MBL when compared to individuals who are either a bruxer or smoker, or neither (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Bruxism is suggested to increase the risk of MBL over time, as well as higher age, smoking, and the combination of bruxism and smoking. Other factors that showed a correlation with increased MBL were implant diameter, region of the jaws, and prosthesis type, but it is not possible to draw robust conclusions for these factors, as the categories of these variables were very unbalanced.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of PEEK abutments with different heights on single titanium implants. To investigate the implant surface, different tests (scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, and X-ray diffraction) were adopted. Herein, 20 implants received the 4.5 × 4.0 mm PEEK short abutment (SA) and 20 received the 4.5 × 5.5 mm PEEK long abutment (LA). The abutments were installed using dual-cure resin cement. To determine the fatigue test, two specimens from each group were submitted to the single load fracture test. For this, the samples were submitted to a compressive load of (0.5 mm/min; 30°) in a universal testing machine. For the fatigue test, the samples received 2,000,000 cycles (2 Hz; 30°). The number of cycles and the load test was analyzed by the reliability software SPSS statistics using Kaplan-Meier and Mantel-Cox tests (log-rank) (p < 0.05). The maximum load showed no statistically significant differences (p = 0.189) for the SA group (64.1 kgf) and the LA group (56.5 kgf). The study groups were statistically different regarding the number of cycles (p = 0.022) and fracture strength (p = 0.001). PEEK abutments can be indicated with caution for implant-supported rehabilitation and may be suitable as temporary rehabilitation.

Influence of Abutment Design on Biomechanical Behavior to Support a Screw-Retained 3-Unit Fixed Partial Denture. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:6235.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of Morse taper implants using different abutments (CMN abutment [(CMN Group] and miniconical abutments [MC Group]), indicated to support a screw-retained 3-unit fixed partial denture. For the in vitro test, polyurethane blocks were fabricated for both groups (n = 10) and received three implants in the "offset" configuration and their respective abutments (CMN or MC) with a 3-unit fixed partial denture. Four strain gauges were bonded to the surface of each block. For the finite element analysis, 3D models of both groups were created and exported to the analysis software to perform static structural analysis. All structures were considered homogeneous, isotropic, and elastic. The contacts were considered non-linear with a friction coefficient of 0.3 between metallic structures and considered bonded between the implant and substrate. An axial load of 300 N was applied in three points (A, B, and C) for both methods. The microstrain and the maximum principal stress were considered as analysis criteria. The obtained data were submitted to the Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Dunn's multiple comparison test (α = 5%). The results obtained by strain gauge showed no statistical difference (p = 0.879) between the CMN (645.3 ± 309.2 με) and MC (639.3 ± 278.8 με) and allowed the validation of computational models with a difference of 6.3% and 6.4% for the microstrains in the CMN and MC groups, respectively. Similarly, the results presented by the computational models showed no statistical difference (p = 0.932) for the CMN (605.1 ± 358.6 με) and MC (598.7 ± 357.9 με) groups. The study concluded that under favorable conditions the use of CMN or MP abutments to support a fixed partial denture can be indicated.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells from hematopoietic origin and are responsible for bone resorption. A balance between osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation is critical to maintain bone homeostasis. The alveolar bone, also called the alveolar process, is the part of the jawbone that holds the teeth and supports oral functions. It differs from other skeletal bones in several aspects: its embryonic cellular origin, the form of ossification, and the presence of teeth and periodontal tissues; hence, understanding the unique characteristic of the alveolar bone remodeling is important to maintain oral homeostasis. Excessive osteoclastic bone resorption is one of the prominent features of bone diseases in the jaw such as periodontitis. Therefore, inhibiting osteoclast formation and bone resorptive process has been the target of therapeutic intervention. Understanding the mechanisms of osteoclastic bone resorption is critical for the effective treatment of bone diseases in the jaw. In this review, we discuss basic principles of alveolar bone remodeling with a specific focus on the osteoclastic bone resorptive process and its unique functions in the alveolar bone. Lastly, we provide perspectives on osteoclast-targeted therapies and regenerative approaches associated with bone diseases in the jaw.

Abstract
The present review aimed to assess the possible relationship between occlusal overload and peri-implant bone loss. In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, the MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched from January 1985 up to and including December 2021. The search strategy applied was: (dental OR oral) AND implants AND (overload OR excessive load OR occlusal wear) AND (bone loss OR peri-implantitis OR failure). Clinical studies that reported quantitative analysis of occlusal loads through digital contacts and/or occlusal wear were included. The studies were screened for eligibility by two independent reviewers. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. In total, 492 studies were identified in the search during the initial screening. Of those, 84 were subjected to full-text evaluation, and 7 fulfilled the inclusion criteria (4 cohort studies, 2 cross-sectional, and 1 case-control). Only one study used a digital device to assess excessive occlusal forces. Four out of seven studies reported a positive correlation between the overload and the crestal bone loss. All of the included studies had moderate to serious overall risk of bias, according to the ROBINS-I tool. In conclusion, the reported data relating the occlusal analysis to the peri-implant bone level seem to reveal an association, which must be further investigated using new digital tools that can help to standardize the methodology.

Analysis of the Chemical Composition and Morphological Characterization of Tissue Osseointegrated to a Dental Implant after 5 Years of Function. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23168882.

Abstract
Osseointegration implies the coexistence of a biocompatible implant subjected to masticatory loads and living bone tissue adhered to its surface; this interaction is a critical process for the success of implants. The objective of this work is to analyze the osseoformation and osseointegration of a dental implant in operation for 5 years microscopically through morphological analysis of the surface and chemical composition through a variable pressure scanning electron microscope (VP-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). The chemical composition and general characteristics of the structural morphology of random areas of the surfaces of an osseointegrated dental implant from an ex vivo sample were analyzed. On the surface of the implant free of bone tissue, titanium (TI) was mainly identified in the area of the implant threads and carbon (C) in the depth of the implant threads. Phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), oxygen (O), carbon (C), with dense and homogeneous distribution, and, to a lesser extent, sodium (Na) were detected on the bone surface around the contour of the implant. Regarding the morphological characteristics of the implant surface, a rough structure with some irregularities and detachments of the implant lodged in the bone tissue was observed. Microscopic analysis showed calcified bone tissue distributed in an orderly manner on the coronal and medial surface and sinuous and irregular in the apical area, with the presence of red blood cells. The composition of the implant allows a dynamic process of bone remodeling and regeneration subject to the biological and mechanical needs of the operation. Dental implants are shown to have exceptional and long-lasting biocompatibility that enables the formation of mature peri-implant bone tissue.

Marginal Bone Level Evaluation of Fixed Partial Dental Prostheses Using Preformed Stock versus CAD/CAM Customized Abutments. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12071051.

Abstract
Background: The maintenance of marginal bone levels around dental implants is an important criterion for evaluating the success of implants. Although computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) customized abutments (CAs) provide more flexible solutions, compared with the original preformed stock abutments (PAs), there are dimensional tolerances and underlying drawbacks in the production of CAD/CAM CAs, which may change the tightness and seamless connection between fixtures and abutments set by the manufacturer and then affect the long-term stability of the abutments. This study aimed to examine the change in both mesial and distal bone levels using digital periapical radiographs to evaluate the difference between CAD/CAM CAs and original PAs.Material and methods: Radiographs were taken before delivery; after functional loading for 1 month; and after 3, 6, and 12 months; and the vertical marginal bone levels (vMBLs) of both the mesial and distal surrounding implant bones were measured. All data are presented as means ± standard errors and were analyzed using Student’s t-test. A p-value < 0.05 was judged to represent a significant difference. Results: A total of 57 implants in 50 patients were divided into 22 CAD/CAM CAs and 35 original stock abutments. The PAs appeared to have a more stable bone level. By contrast, the amount of bone level change in the CAs was higher than that in the PAs. The change in the vMBL of the CAs was significantly more than that of the PAs after functional loading for 1 month (p = 0.006), 3 months (p = 0.013), 6 months (p = 0.014), and 12 months (p = 0.002). In contrast, the distal marginal bone level was lower than the mesial marginal bone level in any period. Nevertheless, the bone levels of the CAs and PAs in any period were comparable with no significant difference. Conclusions: Significant differences were found between the mesial and distal bone levels in the PAs. The CAD/CAM CAs showed a significantly greater bone level change than the original stock abutments after functional loading.

Abstract
Background: Implant rehabilitation in cases of monoedentulism in the esthetic area is a challenge for the clinician. The aim of our study was to test the diagnostic–therapeutic accuracy of computer-guided implant placement in the esthetic area. Methods: Postimplant surgery cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were retrospectively analyzed to assess the accuracy of computer-guided implant placement compared to the preoperative computer-digital planned implant position. We selectively enrolled CBCT scans of patients who underwent immediate or delayed implant placement of a single maxillary incisor, treated with computer-guided implant surgery through a tooth-supported digitally designed 3D printed guide. Our analysis consisted of three digital measurements: the mean deviation of the implant axis, and the mean mesiodistal implant deviation measured both at the apex and at the head of the implant. Results: A total of 95 implants were placed in 95 patients (60 Males, 35 Females; age from 27 to 45-year-old). Congruence analysis showed a mean deviation of implant axis of 1.04° ± 0.56° in sagittal projection, a mean mesiodistal implant deviation between adjacent teeth of 0.14 mm ± 0.07 mm at implant head level and 0.8 mm ± 0.3 mm at the apex in axial projection. Conclusions: computer-guided implant placement through a tooth-supported guide was extremely accurate in the esthetic area because the deviations between the real implant position and the preoperative planning was not clinically relevant.

Marginal Bone Loss in Internal Conical Connection Implants Placed at the Crestal and Subcrestal Levels before Prosthetic Loading: A Randomized Clinical Study. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15103729. [PMID: 35629754 PMCID: PMC9145780 DOI: 10.3390/ma15103729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
The vertical position concerning the bone in which the implants are placed has been related as one of the factors causing marginal bone loss. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bone loss that occurs before prosthetic loading around tapered internal connection (CIC) implants placed at the crestal (C) and subcrestal (S) levels. Method: A randomized clinical trial (RCT) was carried out, with a sample size of 62 implants placed in 27 patients who underwent radiological controls on the day of placement, at one month, and at 4 months, and stability was measured by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) on three occasions. Results: Bone loss in implants C and S from the time of placement (T0) and the month after (T1) was not significant (p = 0.54) (C = 0.19 mm and S = 0.15 mm). The difference between one month (T1) and four months (T2) (C = 0.17 mm and S = 0.22 mm) was not significant either (p = 0.26). The difference between the day of placement (T0) and the third and last measurement (T2) was almost null (p = 0.94) (C = 0.35 mm and S = 0.36). The overall success rate of the implants was 97.8%. The stability of the implants measured with RFA went from 70.60 (T0) to 73.16 (T1) and 74.52 (T2). Conclusions: No significant differences were found in the bone loss for implants placed at the C and S levels. The millimeters of bone loss detected in both vertical positions did not have a significant impact on the stability of the implants.

J Prosthodont 2022; 31:e2-e11. [PMID: 35505638 DOI: 10.1111/jopr.13530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose was to investigate stress distribution among 4 different customized abutment types: titanium abutment (Ti), titanium hybrid-abutment-crown (Ti-Hybrid), zirconia abutment with titanium base (Zir-TiBase), and zirconia hybrid-abutment-crown with titanium base (Zir-Hybrid-TiBase). MATERIALS AND METHODS To achieve this purpose, 4 types of abutment configurations were simulated. A static load of 200 N (vertical) and 100 N (oblique) were applied to the models. The volume average, maximum, and stress distribution of von Mises stress, including percentage difference, were analyzed with three-dimensional finite element analysis. RESULTS According to the volume average von Mises stress, the Ti and Zir-TiBase comparison group showed that the Zir-TiBase group dominantly generated the higher value at Ti-base (22.57 MPa) and screw (17.68 MPa). To evaluate the effect of the hybrid-abutment-crown on volume average von Mises stress by comparing the Ti-Hybrid and Zir-Hybrid-TiBase groups, it was revealed that the combination of abutment and crown in the Ti-Hybrid group generated the worst stress concentration at the screw (12.42 MPa), while in the Zir-Hybrid-TiBase group presented stress concentration at the implant (8.90 MPa). CONCLUSIONS A titanium base improved stress distribution at implant in zirconia abutment with titanium base by absorbing stress itself. Customized titanium hybrid-abutment-crown and zirconia hybrid-abutment-crown with titanium base created concentrated stress at screw and implant; respectively. Both abutment types should be cautiously used and maintenanced regularly. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Objectives This open, single-cohort, multicenter, prospective study investigated the efficacy of immediately provisionalized tapered conical connection implant for single-tooth restorations in the anterior and premolar regions of the maxilla after 5 years of function. Materials and methods All implants were placed in healed sites and immediately provisionalized. MBLs, soft-tissue parameters, and oral-health impact profile (OHIP) were evaluated at implant insertion, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 60 months. Paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was used for statistical and implant survival/success analyses, respectively. Results Seventy-seven patients (81 implants) completed the 5-year follow-up. The 5-year cumulative survival and success rates were 97.8%, and the mean MBL change from implant insertion to 5 years was − 0.80 ± 1.13 mm. Optimal papilla index scores were observed at 90.1% of sites at 5 years compared with 32.8% of sites at insertion. Pink esthetic score, modified bleeding and plaque indices, and OHIP showed statistically significant improvement at the 5-year follow-up. Conclusions Immediately provisionalized tapered conical connection implants promote marginal bone stability and excellent esthetic outcomes after 5 years of function. Clinical relevance This treatment is a viable option for patients requiring immediately provisionalized single-tooth restorations in the esthetic zone and shows favorable long-term clinical outcomes, including marginal bone stability and excellent esthetics.

Abstract
Objectives Recently, zirconia ceramic and glass or carbon fiber-reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) composites have been introduced as newer implant biomaterials. This study was done to evaluate stress and deformation in bone with glass fiber-reinforced (GFR)-PEEK, zirconia, and titanium implants. Materials and Methods A geometric model of mandibular molar replaced with implant-supported crown was generated. Implant of 12 mm length and 4.5 mm diameter was used in study. Finite element analysis models of implant assemblies of three materials GFR-PEEK, zirconium, and titanium were generated. 150 N loads were applied obliquely and vertically along the long axis of implant. Von Mises stresses and deformation generated were compared using ANSYS Workbench 17.0 and finite element software. Results All three implant assemblies, i.e., GFR-PEEK, zirconia, and titanium, demonstrated similar stresses and deformation in bone without significant difference. Conclusion It was concluded that GFR-PEEK and zirconia implants can be used as a substitute to titanium implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate survival rates and marginal bone loss (MBL) of implants in IC-RPDs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy implants were placed and used as surveyed crowns in 30 RPDs. The survival rates and MBL around implants based on multiple variables, e.g., position, sex, age, opposing dentitions, splinting, type of used retainer, and first year bone loss, were analyzed. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) regarding functional/esthetic improvement after IC-RPD treatment, and complications were also inspected. RESULTS The 100% implant survival rates were observed, and 60 of those implants showed MBL levels less than 1.5 mm. No significant differences in MBL of implants were observed between implant positions (maxilla vs. mandible; P = .341) and type of used retainers (P = .630). The implant MBL of greater than 0.5 mm at 1 year showed significantly higher MBL after that (P < .001). Splinted implant surveyed crowns showed lower MBL in the maxilla (splinted vs. non-splinted; P = .037). There were significant esthetic/functional improvements observed after treatment, but there were no significant differences in esthetic results based on implant position (maxilla vs. mandible). Implants in mandible showed significantly greater improvement in function than implants in the maxilla (P = .002). Prosthetic complication of IC-RPD was not observed frequently. However, 2 abutment teeth among 60 were failed. The bone loss of abutment teeth was lower than MBL of implants in IC-RPDs (P = .001). CONCLUSION Class I RPD connected to residual teeth and strategically positioned implants as surveyed crowns can be a viable treatment modality.

Abstract
Background: Titanium allergy is a main reason for failure of dental implant. Hence, newer implant biomaterials have emerged such as zirconia and carbon or glass fiber reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (CFR-PEEK)-based materials. The aim of the present study was to compare the stress pattern in bone surrounding implant with CFR-PEEK and commercially pure titanium implant. Materials and Methods: Three-dimensional formal model of mandibular first molar partsubstituting with implant supported crown was generated. Implant with dimensions of 10 mm length and 4.3 mm diameter was used in this study. Finite element models of CFR-PEEK and commercially pure titanium implant assemblies were generated. A 100 Newton (N) force was implemented along the long axis and obliquely at 30° to the long axis of implant. Von Mises pressures generated in the bone surrounding implant were analyzed using ANSYS workbench 16.0 and other finite element software. Results: Similar stress distribution was detected in bone surrounding implant with CFR-PEEK implant and commercially pure titanium implant assembly under 100 N force applied vertically and obliquely. Conclusion: PEEK reinforced with carbon or glass fiber implants can be a viable alternative in individuals who are more of esthetic concern and who demonstrate allergy to metallic implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare straight and tapered implant designs in terms of marginal bone loss, the modified plaque index (mPI), and the modified bleeding index (mBI) for 5 years after functional loading. METHODS Twelve patients were recruited. Two types of implants were placed adjacent to each other: 1 straight implant and 1 tapered implant. Marginal bone loss, mPI, and mBI were measured every year for 5 years after loading. RESULTS The straight implants showed 0.2±0.4 mm of marginal bone loss at 5 years after loading, while the tapered implants showed 0.2±0.3 mm of marginal bone loss; this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.833). Our analysis also showed no statistically significant differences in mPI (straight implants: 0.3±0.3 vs. tapered implants: 0.2±0.3; P=0.414) or in mBI (straight implants: 0.3±0.4 vs. tapered implants: 0.2±0.3; P=0.317) at 5 years after prosthesis delivery. CONCLUSIONS Straight and tapered implants showed no significant differences with respect to marginal bone loss, mPI, and mBI for 5 years after loading.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to address the predictive value of a micro-computed tomography (μCT)-based finite element (μFE) model of a human cadaveric edentulous posterior mandible, rehabilitated by short dental implants. Hereby, three different prosthetic/implant configurations of fixed partial dentures ("Sp"-3 splinted crowns on 3 implants, "Br" - Bridge: 3 splinted crowns on 2 implants, and "Si"- 3 single crowns) were analysed by comparing the computational predictions of the global stiffness with experimental data. METHODS Experimental displacement of the bone/implant/prosthesis system was measured under axial and oblique loads of 100 N using an optical deformation system (GOM Aramis) and the overall movement of the testing machine (Zwick Z030). Together with the measured machine force, an "Aramis" (optical markers) and "Zwick" (test machine) stiffness were calculated. FE models were created based on μCT-scans of the cadaveric mandible sample (n = 1) before and after implantation and using stl-files of the crowns. The same load tests and boundary conditions were simulated on the models and the μFE-results were compared to experimental data using linear regression analysis. RESULTS The regression line through a plot of pooled stiffness values (N/mm) for the optical displacement recording (true local displacement) and the test machine (machine compliance included) had a slope of 0.57 and a correlation coefficient R2 of 0.82. The average pooled correlation of global stiffness between the experiment and FE-analysis (FEA) showed a R2 of 0.80, but the FEA-stiffness was 7.2 times higher. The factor was highly dependent on the test configuration. Sp-configuration showed the largest stiffness followed by Br-configuration (17% difference in experiment and 21% in FEA). CONCLUSIONS The current study showed good qualitative agreement between the experimental and predicted global stiffness of different short implant configurations. It could be deduced that 1:1 splinting of the short implants by the crowns is most favorable for the stiffness of the implant/prosthesis system. However, in the clinical context, the absolute in silico readings must be interpreted cautiously, as the FEA showed a considerable overestimation of the values.

Effect of Opposite Tooth Condition on Marginal Bone Loss around Submerged Dental Implants: A Retrospective Study with a 3-Year Follow-Up. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph182010715. [PMID: 34682460 PMCID: PMC8535684 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182010715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of opposite tooth conditions on change in marginal bone level (MBL) around submerged dental implants. Materials and methods: The study included healthy patients with one or two implants. Structures opposite implants were either natural teeth (NT) or fixed restorations (FRs). MBLs were measured on digital periapical radiographs at the mesial and distal aspects of each implant. Results: Sixty implants were inserted by the 3-year follow-up. Mean MBLs for NT were 0.21 ± 0.33 mm before prosthetic loading and 0.30 ± 0.41 mm 3 years later (p = 0.001). Mean MBLs with FRs were 0.36 ± 0.45 mm before loading and 0.53 ± 0.50 mm 3 years later (p < 0.001). Changes in mean MBL from the 6-month follow-up to the 1- and 3-year follow-ups were statistically significant (p < 0.01) for implants opposite NT. However, changes in mean MBL from the 6-month follow-up to the 1-year (p = 0.161) and 3-year follow-ups (p = 1.000) were not significant for implants opposite FRs. Between baseline and the 3-year follow-up, MBL change was relatively small and did not differ regarding NT and FRs. Conclusion: Bone loss was greater if submerged dental implants were opposed by FRs. MBLs around submerged implants continued to change after 3 years if NT opposed implants.

The role of cortical zone level and prosthetic platform angle in dental implant mechanical response: A 3D finite element analysis. Dent Mater 2021; 37:1688-1697. [PMID: 34497022 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2021.08.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of three different dental implant neck geometries, under a combined compressive/shear load using finite element analysis (FEA). The implant neck was positioned in D2 quality bone at the crestal level or 2 mm below. METHODS One dental implant (4.2 × 9 mm) was digitized by reverse engineering techniques using micro CT and imported into Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. Non-uniform rational B-spline surfaces were reconstructed, generating a 3D volumetric model similar to the digitized implant. Three different models were generated with different implant neck configurations, namely 0°, 10° and 20°. D2 quality bone, composed of cortical and trabecular structure, was modeled using data from CT scans. The implants were included in the bone model using a Boolean operation. Two different fixture insertion depths were simulated for each implant: 2 mm below the crestal bone and exactly at the level of the crestal bone. The obtained models were imported to FEA software in STEP format. Von Mises equivalent strains were analyzed for the peri-implant D2 bone type, considering the magnitude and volume of the affected surrounding cortical and trabecular bone. The highest strain values in both cortical and trabecular tissue at the peri-implant bone interface were extracted and compared. RESULTS All implant models were able to distribute the load at the bone-implant contact (BIC) with a similar strain pattern between the models. At the cervical region, however, differences were observed: the models with 10° and 20° implant neck configurations (Model B and C), showed a lower strain magnitude when compared to the straight neck (Model A). These values were significantly lower when the implants were situated at crestal bone levels. In the apical area, no differences in strain values were observed. SIGNIFICANCE The implant neck configuration influenced the strain distribution and magnitude in the cortical bone and cancellous bone tissues. To reduce the strain values and improve the load dissipation in the bone tissue, implants with 10° and 20 neck configuration should be preferred instead of straight implant platforms.

Int J Implant Dent 2021; 7:89. [PMID: 34467429 PMCID: PMC8408301 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-021-00374-3] [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: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many unclear points regarding local structural characteristics of the bone surrounding the implant reflecting the mechanical environment. PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate bone quality surrounding implants placed into the femurs of mice in an unloading model, and to determine the influence of the mechanical environment on bone quality. METHODS Twenty 12-week-old male C57BL6/NcL mice (n = 5/group) were used as experimental animals. The mice were divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 10) which were reared by tail suspension, and the control group (n = 10) which were reared normally. An implant was placed into the femur of a tail-suspended mouse, and after the healing period, they were sacrificed and the femur was removed. After micro-CT imaging, Villanueva osteochrome bone stain was performed. It was embedded in unsaturated polyester resin. The polymerized block was sliced passing through the center of the implant body. Next, 100-μm-thick polished specimens were prepared with water-resistant abrasive paper. In addition to histological observation, morphometric evaluation of cancellous bone was performed, and the anisotropy of collagen fibers and biological apatite (BAp) crystals was analyzed. RESULTS As a result, the femoral cortical bone thickness and new peri-implant bone mass showed low values in the tail suspension group. The uniaxial preferential orientation of BAp c-axis in the femoral long axis direction in the non-implant groups, but biaxial preferential orientation of BAp c-axis along the long axis of implant and femoral long axis direction were confirmed in new bone reconstructed by implant placement. Collagen fiber running anisotropy and orientation of BAp c-axis in the bone surrounding the implant were not significantly different due to tail suspension. CONCLUSIONS From the above results, it was clarified that bone formation occurs surrounding the implant even under extremely low load conditions, and bone microstructure and bone quality adapted to the new mechanical environment are acquired.

Influence of osteoporosis and mechanical loading on bone around osseointegrated dental implants: A rodent study. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 123:104771. [PMID: 34438251 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of estrogen deficiency and mechanical loading on bone around osseointegrated dental implants in a rat jaw model. The maxillary right first molars of 36 rats were extracted. One week later, the rats were divided into an unloaded group and a loaded group; short head implants and long head implants were inserted respectively. Nine weeks after implantation, the rats were further subjected to ovariectomy (OVX) or sham surgery. All animals were euthanized 21 weeks after OVX. Micro-computed tomography, histological and histomorphometrical evaluation were undertaken. Systemic bone mineral density and bone volume fraction decreased in OVX groups compared with the sham controls. Histomorphometrical observation indicated that unloaded OVX group showed significantly damaged osseointegration and bone loss versus the loaded OVX group. Both the bone density (BD) inside the peri-implant grooves and the percentage of bone-to-implant contact (BIC) were lower in the OVX groups than in the sham-surgery groups, although mechanical loading increased the BIC and BD in the loaded OVX group compared with the unloaded OVX group. An increased number of positive cells for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase was observed in the OVX groups versus the sham controls. The percentage of sclerostin-positive osteocytes was lower under loaded compared with unloaded conditions in both the OVX groups and the sham controls. In conclusion, estrogen deficiency could be a risk factor for the long-term stability of osseointegrated implants, while mechanical loading could attenuate the negative influence of estrogen deficiency on bone formation and osseointegration.

Clinical performance of posterior monolithic zirconia implant-supported fixed dental prostheses with angulated screw channels: A 3-year prospective cohort study. J Prosthet Dent 2021; 129:566-572. [PMID: 34344529 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2021.06.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2020] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The choice of retention type of an implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) becomes critical when the dental implant is not placed in a prosthetically ideal location. In recent years, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology has enabled the correction of the location of screw access hole depending on the clinical needs of the patient. However, how FPDs with angulated screw channels (ASCs) perform clinically is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the mechanical complications and crestal bone loss (CBL) when posterior monolithic zirconia implant-supported FDPs with an ASC are used. MATERIAL AND METHODS Participants (N=37) with a missing single posterior tooth or multiple teeth, sufficient bone height, and an implant site without infection were included. Each participant received parallel-walled implants (Nobel Parallel CC) of 7-, 8.5-, or 10-mm length by using a 1-stage approach. After 4 months of healing, a conventional impression was made, and a digital workflow was followed. Monolithic zirconia restorations (Katana ML) were milled, stained, and mechanically attached to a titanium base (NobelProcera ASC abutment). CBL was measured from radiographs at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after the placement of the prosthesis. Implant and prosthetic characteristics including implant diameter, implant length, screw channel angle (angle≤15 degrees versus angle>16 degrees), prosthetic type (single crown versus multiple-unit FDP), and antagonist dentition (natural versus prosthesis) were also recorded. A generalized linear mixed model with a log link was estimated to assess the independent predictors of CBL among the angles of ASC-retained definitive restorations and the clinically relevant variables (α=.05). RESULTS Thirty-seven participants received 51 implants, and the median follow-up period was 30 months (interquartile range: 22-36). Two single-crown implants failed within the first 12 months of delivery. The implant and restoration survival rate was 96% at 36 months. Screw loosening was recorded in 2 study participants. After a follow-up of 36 months, the mean ±standard deviation CBL value was 0.15 ±0.14 mm with an increase over time (P<.001). The effect of the angle of ASC, implant diameter, implant length, prosthetic type, and antagonist on the CBL was not statistically significant (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS CBL was not associated with the angle of ASC, implant diameter, implant length, prosthetic type, or antagonist when posterior monolithic zirconia implant-supported FDPs with ASCs were used. Screw loosening in 2 situations was the only mechanical complication during the first 3 years of service.

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
Objectives To evaluate the long‐term effectiveness of 6 mm implants in various indications with a micro‐rough surface after 4.6–18.2 years in function and to assess key factors associated with implant survival, success, and biologic/technical complications. Materials and methods Fifty‐five patients with seventy‐four 6 mm implants placed from 2000 to 2013 attended the re‐examination assessing well‐established clinical and radiographic parameters, biologic and prosthetic complications, and patient‐reported outcome measures. Results Five implants were lost after a mean follow‐up period of 9.1 years resulting in a survival rate of 93.2%. All losses occurred in free‐end situations in the mandible. Smoking habit significantly reduced implant survival (hazard ratio 36.25). Two implants exhibited a history of peri‐implantitis, and one implant showed progressive marginal bone loss (MBL) resulting in a success rate of 89.2%. The mean MBL amounted to 0.029 mm. Increased MBL was found for implants placed in the maxilla (0.057 mm) and for implants with a diameter of 4.1 mm (0.043 mm). Soft tissue thickness (1.39 mm) and width of keratinized mucosa (1.91 mm) had no effect on MBL. Patient‐reported outcome measures showed high satisfaction (mean VAS scores 88%) and high quality of life (mean OHIP‐G14 score 2.2). Conclusion The present study demonstrated survival and success rates of 93.2% and 89.2% for 6 mm implants used in various indications. A factor leading to higher implant failure was smoking, whereas modulating factors increasing annual MBL included implants placed in the maxilla and implants with a diameter of 4.1 mm compared to 4.8 mm.
