Int J Implant Dent 2024; 10:24. [PMID: 38722448 PMCID: PMC11082111 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-024-00538-x] [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: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
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
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
PURPOSE Based on a self-controlled case, this study evaluated the finite element analysis (FEA) results of a single missing molar with wide mesiodistal length (MDL) restored by a single or double implant-supported crown. METHODS A case of a missing bilateral mandibular first molar with wide MDL was restored using a single or double implant-supported crown. The implant survival and peri-implant bone were compared. FEA was conducted in coordination with the case using eight models with different MDLs (12, 13, 14, and 15 mm). Von Mises stress was calculated in the FEA to evaluate the biomechanical responses of the implants under increasing vertical and lateral loading, including the stress values of the implant, abutment, screw, crown, and cortical bone. RESULTS The restorations on the left and right sides supported by double implants have been used for 6 and 12 years, respectively, and so far have shown excellent osseointegration radiographically.The von Mises stress calculated in the FEA showed that when the MDL was >14 mm, both the bone and prosthetic components bore more stress in the single implant-supported strategy. The strength was 188.62-201.37 MPa and 201.85-215.9 MPa when the MDL was 14 mm and 15 mm, respectively, which significantly exceeded the allowable yield stress (180 MPa). CONCLUSIONS Compared with the single implant-supported crown, the double implant-supported crown reduced peri-implant bone stress and produced a more appropriate stress transfer model at the implant-bone interface when the MDL of the single missing molar was ≥14 mm.

In vitro assessment of internal implant-abutment connections with different cone angles under static loading using synchrotron-based radiation. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:396. [PMID: 38549137 PMCID: PMC10976688 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04156-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The stability of implant-abutment connection is crucial to minimize mechanical and biological complications. Therefore, an assessment of the microgap behavior and abutment displacement in different implant-abutment designs was performed. METHODS Four implant systems were tested, three with a conical implant-abutment connection based on friction fit and a cone angle < 12 ° (Medentika, Medentis, NobelActive) and a system with an angulated connection (< 40°) (Semados). In different static loading conditions (30 N - 90º, 100 N - 90º, 200 N - 30º) the microgap and abutment displacement was evaluated using synchrotron-based microtomography and phase-contrast radioscopy with numerical forward simulation of the optical Fresnel propagation yielding an accuracy down to 0.1 μm. RESULTS Microgaps were present in all implant systems prior to loading (0.15-9 μm). Values increased with mounting force and angle up to 40.5 μm at an off axis loading of 100 N in a 90° angle. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to the implant-abutment connection with a large cone angle (45°), the conical connections based on a friction fit (small cone angles with < 12°) demonstrated an abutment displacement which resulted in a deformation of the outer implant wall. The design of the implant-abutment connection seems to be crucial for the force distribution on the implant wall which might influence peri-implant bone stability.

Analysis of Strain Distribution in Common Clinical Designs of Posterior Implant-Supported Fixed Partial Restorations: Comparison between Six Configurations. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:47. [PMID: 38391900 PMCID: PMC10889441 DOI: 10.3390/jfb15020047] [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: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The configuration of implant-supported prostheses is considered to influence the magnitude of stress concentrations, affecting their survival rate. The purpose of this study is to determine, through strain gauge measurements during load application, the dispersion and magnitude of strain concentrations in different implant-supported prosthesis designs. All designs matched those commonly used in posterior partially edentulous states. Three implants were inserted into an epoxy resin model (PLM-4B Vishay Measurements Group Inc., Raleigh, NC, USA), allowing for the delivery of three- and four-unit crowns in different cemented configurations. Loads were applied at vertical and oblique directions over the cast crowns in six different configurations representing various posterior partially edentulous restorations. The readings from the strain gauges adhered to the implant necks' presented data on implant strain. Prostheses including cantilevers showed the highest strain among the three-unit prostheses within the prosthetic complex, and three single units showed the least (8133 µs vs. 201 µs, respectively). Angulated load application also had a role in amplifying the strains recorded, resulting in total strains of between 3.5 and 20 times higher than during vertical loading in all configurations. It can be concluded that the configuration of implant-fixed partial prosthesis changes the loads engaging the restoration, the implant, and, probably, the supporting bone.

Abstract
Implant therapy is now an established treatment with high long-term success and survival rates. However, early implant failure, which occurs within one year of superstructure placement, occurs at a higher rate than late failure, which is represented by peri-implantitis caused by bacterial infection. Furthermore, various risk factors for early failure have been reported, including patient-related factors, such as systemic diseases, smoking, and bone quality and quantity, as well as surgery-related factors, such as surgeons' skill, osteogenesis technique, and selection of graft material, and implant-related factors, such as initial implant fixation and implant length diameter. Due to the wide variety of relevant factors reported, it is difficult to identify the cause of the problem. The purpose of this review is to discuss the risk factors associated with various types of bone augmentation which have a close causal relationship with early implant failure, and to determine the optimal bone grafting material for bone augmentation procedures to avoid early implant failure.

Abstract
Immediate function has become an accepted treatment modality for fixed restorations in completely edentulous jaws. The dental implants have gained immense popularity. A secure implant primary stability is positively associated with a successful implant integration and long term successful clinical outcome. The main aim of this study was to find the association between primary stability and bone density in implants placed in maxilla and mandible. A total of 1263 patients who had undergone implant placement from March 2020-March 2021 in Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai, India were chosen for the study. The primary stability and bone density of these patients were collected from the hospital records. The collected data was compiled, reviewed, tabulated in Microsoft Excel sheet and entered in SPSS software for statistical analysis. In the present study, the patient aged between 28 and 37 years had undergone more implant placement (31%) with male predilection (53%). The most commonly associated primary stability was found to be 30-40 Ncm (51.37%) predominantly with D2 type of bone density (52.69%). A Chi-squared statistical test was done for primary stability and bone density and the P was found to be 0.00 (Chi-squared P < 0.05, statistically significant). The most predominant bone density was D2 associated with primary stability of 30-40 Ncm. The association between bone density and primary stability was found to be statistically significant. The present study shows a strong relationship between bone density and primary implant stability.

Abstract
Background/purpose Dental implants have been a popular treatment for replacing missing teeth. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of engaging (hexagonal) and non-engaging (non-hexagonal) abutments in various six-unit fixed prosthesis on the stress distribution and loading located in the implant neck, implant abutment, and surrounding bone. Materials and methods Three implants were digitally designed and inserted parallel to each other in edentulous sites of the maxillary right canine, maxillary right central incisor, and maxillary left canine. Titanium base engaging abutments, non-engaging abutments and connecting screws were designed. Five distinct models of 6-unit fixed dental prosthesis were created, each featuring different combinations of various abutments. Forces (45-degree angle) were applied to the prosthesis, allowing for the analysis of the stress distribution on the implant neck and abutments, and the maximum and minimum principal stress values on the cortical and trabecular bone. Results Von Mises stress values and stress distributions located in the implant neck region due to the applied loading forces were analyzed. The overall stress values were highest while employing the hexagonal abutments. The maxillary left canine with a hexagonal abutment (model 5) reported the highest von mises value (64.71 MPa) while the maxillary right canine with a non-hexagonal abutment (model 4) presented lowest von mises value (56.69 MPa). Conclusion The results suggest that both the various abutment combinations (engaging and non-engaging) on five different models have a similar influence on the distribution of stress within the implant system.

Abstract
This study presented a rehabilitation option for malpositioned implants; this involved obtaining their position and inclination through intraoral scanning, and producing a customized abutment with CAD/CAM technology. The patient in this case report presented a root fracture in tooth 21 and was subjected to extraction, implant installation, and immediate provisional prosthesis. The implant was installed with a distal inclination due to anatomical limitations. After osseointegration, an intraoral scanning transfer provided a digital model (file extension .stl), which reproduced the implant's position and inclination. Then, the file was sent so that a customized abutment (CAD/CAM) could be manufactured, promoting the final rehabilitation of the case; this allowed for good hygiene, load distribution in the dynamic interocclusal relationship, and favorable esthetics, whereas many would otherwise recommend implant removal. The result presented lower costs, a shorter time frame, and a lower morbidity for the patient.

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
A dental implant mimics the tooth and restores its function. It has flourished as a replacement of missing natural teeth that has a success rate over 90% over the years. However, this root-form implant has also been associated with some complications after its application. Crestal bone loss, one of the biggest challenges in dental implant placement, occurs around the dental implant neck within a few months post-loading. The aim of this study was to determine survival rates and to measure crestal bone changes after placement of a single crown prosthesis. Data collection was done in a private dental university setting. Data from approximately 296 cases were retrieved after analyzing 86,000 case sheets. The following parameters were evaluated based on dental records: age, sex, implant placement area, implant diameter and length, and presence or absence of exudate. Crestal bone loss was assessed radiographically. Excel tabulation and SPSS version 23 were used for data analysis. Chi-square testing was done to correlate various parameters used in this study. Incipient crestal bone loss was commonly observed. It was seen that the association between crestal bone loss and exudate was statistically significant (Chi-square, p < 0.05). Within the limits of this study, incipient crestal bone loss was observed in most dental implants irrespective of bone density, implant length, implant diameter, and implant placement area.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the difference between the stress level and distribution around the BL and TL short implants, and their surrounding structures, using finite element analysis. METHODS Two different study models were constructed: BL model and TL model. Two dental implant systems (ITI (Straumann, Waldenburg, Switzerland) and NTA Short) with a diameter of 4.1 mm and 4 mm and with a length of 6 mm were used in this study. In each model, implants were placed in the mandibular 1st molar region. The von Mises stress and maximum principal (tensile) and minimum principal (compressive) stresses were evaluated. RESULTS The highest stress values recorded in the BL implants (von Mises: 342.77 MPa), in the peri‑implant bone around the BL implants (maximum principal stress: 114.1 MPa), as a result of oblique loading, and overall stress values were found to be higher in the BL model. However, these measured values appeared to be low to cause a fracture, when considering the yield strengths of the materials and bone. CONCLUSIONS The stress values were higher in the BL model, but not high enough to cause failure. Short implants could be an effective method of treatment for patients unsuitable for advanced surgical techniques.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the stresses that will occur under occlusal forces on the cortical bone, spongious bone and the subperiosteal implant systems made of Titanium and%60 Carbon fiber reinforced Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material. Two different models of subperiosteal implant systems on maxilla made of Titanium and %60 Carbon fiber reinforced Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material. As a result of vertical and oblique forces, the stress values and distributions on the subperiosteal implant systems and bone were examined. After applying the three different force protocols, von Mises stress, Maximum principal stress and Minimum principal stress values and distribution on the subperiosteal implant body, fixation screws, cortical and spongious bone were analyzed by finite element analysis. In all scenarios, the von Mises values on the Titanium subperiosteal implant system were found to be approximately twice on the 60% carbon fiber reinforced PEEK subperiosteal implant system plates. Subperiosteal implants produced from titanium and carbon fiber reinforced PEEK material exhibited similar stress values on cortical and spongious bone. According to the results of this study, 60% Carbon fiber reinforced PEEK material can be considered as an alternative material to titanium since it exhibits similar biomechanical behavior with titanium subperiosteal implants on cortical and spongious bone. In order to be routinely used as dental subperiosteal implant material, it should be supported by long-term in vivo studies.

J Prosthet Dent 2023:S0022-3913(22)00759-4. [PMID: 36610845 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.11.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM According to the concept of implant-protected occlusion, light occlusion and late contact could prevent implants from occlusal overload. However, clinical data demonstrating how light occlusion differs from normal occlusion are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to characterize the occlusal variation of single posterior implant-supported crowns with or without light occlusion. MATERIAL AND METHODS Participants with a single missing posterior maxillary or mandibular molar who were to receive implant-supported zirconia ceramic crowns were enrolled. The participants were divided into a light occlusion group, in which a 12-μm articulating film could be removed from the implant-supported crown and opposing natural teeth under the intercuspal position, and a normal occlusion group, in which the articulating film could not be removed. All participants underwent occlusal examinations using the T-scan III system, answered a satisfaction questionnaire using a visual analog scale (VAS), and received regular follow-ups. The participants were evaluated at 0.5, 3, 6, and 12 months after implant-supported crown delivery. The relative occlusal force of the implant-supported crowns, mesial teeth, control teeth (corresponding natural tooth on the dentition contralateral to each implant), and the occlusal contact time of implant-supported crowns were recorded. Moreover, the asymmetry index of the occlusal force and the VAS score were calculated. Two independent-sample tests were used to compare the 2 groups. The Wilcoxon rank sum and Mann‒Whitney tests were used to compare nonnormally distributed data (α=.001). RESULTS Fifty study participants with a mean ±standard deviation age of 36.97 ±7.34 years (23 men and 27 women aged 20 to 50 years) were followed for 0.5 to 12 months. No obvious complications of overloading were observed in either group. The mean ±standard deviation of the relative occlusal force of implant-supported crowns in the light occlusion group (from 4.91 ±3.52% to 10.34 ±4.35%) was always lower than that in the normal occlusion group (from 10.45 ±4.32% to 18.15 ±4.80%), while the mean ±standard deviation of the occlusal contact time in the light occlusion group (from 0.38 ±0.26 seconds to 0.10 ±0.07 seconds) was significantly later than that in the normal occlusion group (from 0.12 ±0.08 seconds to 0.04 ±0.02 seconds) (P<.001). The value of the asymmetry index of occlusal force remained within the normal range (10%). The VAS score in the normal occlusion group was significantly higher than that in the light occlusion group (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS Providing light occlusion to reduce occlusal force and delay the contact time was not stable over time. The relative occlusal force and occlusal contact time showed a similar development trend in both groups, and no obvious signs of occlusal overloading were observed in this study. Long-term follow-up is necessary for implant-supported prostheses because of the continuous increase in occlusal force.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of this systematic review were to evaluate the clinical masticatory performance of implant-supported restorations, observe the occlusal force changes in the distribution of the implant restoration and reveal the positive and negative contributing factors of implant design and components based on the outcomes of digital occlusal measurement. MATERIAL AND METHODS An extensive search was conducted through PubMed and CENTRAL to identify clinical trials on implant-retained restorations using digital occlusal analysis methods. Two researchers assessed the identified studies and data extraction independently, and the data synthesis strategies without meta-analysis that summarizes the effect estimates were adopted. RESULTS The search screened 3821 titles and abstracts, then full-text analysis for 26 articles was performed, and 14 studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. Four of six studies for implant-retained overdenture showed statistically significant improved bite force when immediate loading (p = .00045, .00005, .00055, and .00005, respectively), and no statistically significant results in the other two studies (p = .225, .371, respectively.) However, the results of the favoured intervention were not statistically significant (p = .104, .166, respectively) in two studies of single posterior implant restorations. In all three studies, the bite force distributed on the implant prostheses of partially fixed implant-retained restoration increased statistically significantly (p = .013, .001, .05, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The edentulous restoration supported by implants seems to significantly improves bite force and chewing efficiency compared with conventional dentures. Regular quantitative occlusal measurement is recommended to avoid the possible risk of overload. Smaller implants size and relatively small and flexible attachment designs may be more conducive to the stability and retention of the restoration of atrophy of alveolar bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the radiographic outcomes of implants after osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE), and further identify the separate predictors for these radiographic outcomes. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 187 implants were inserted into 138 patients using the OSFE technique. Seventy-four patients in the grafted group, and 64 patients in the non-grafted group completed this study. The vertical bone gain (VBG) and marginal bone loss (MBL) at 3 years following surgery were assessed as outcome variables. Based on extensive literature results, variables considered potential predictors of outcome variables included sex, age, tooth position, implant length, implant diameter, with or without grafting materials, residual bone height, sinus width, bone density, and sinus membrane thickness. Subsequently, the binary logistic regression analysis was applied with VBG and MBL as dependent variables, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) with its area under the curve (AUC) was performed to further determine the predictive value of these predictors. RESULTS One hundred and six implants in grafted group and 81 implants in the non-grafted group were analyzed. The average VBG was 2.12 ± 1.94 mm for the grafted group and 0.44 ± 1.01 mm for the non-grafted group at 3 years (P < 0.05). The mean MBL was 1.54 ± 1.42 mm for the grafted group and 1.13 ± 1.69 mm for the non-grafted group at 3 years (P > 0.05). After the adjustment for confounders, logistic regression analysis demonstrated that implant length, grafting, residual bone height, and sinus membrane thickness were predictors of VBG. The odds ratio for VBG was 3.90, 4.04, 4.13 and 2.62, respectively. Furthermore, grafting exhibited the largest AUC at 0.80. While tooth position and implant length were predictors of MBL, the odds ratio for MBL was 3.27 and 7.85, respectively. Meanwhile, implant length exhibited the largest AUC at 0.72. CONCLUSIONS OSFE with or without simultaneous grafting materials both showed predictable clinical outcomes. Additionally, the present study is the first quantitative and significant verification that VBG has a significant association with sinus membrane thickness, as well as residual bone height, implant length and grafting. Whereas tooth position and implant length are markedly associated with MBL.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
For biomechanical consideration of dental implants, an understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) load exerted on the implant is essential, but little information is available on the in vivo load, including the measuring devices.
Purpose
This review aimed to evaluate studies that used specific load-measuring devices that could be mounted on an implant to measure the functional load in vivo.
Materials and methods
An electronic search utilizing the internet research databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus was performed. The articles were chosen by two authors based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results
In all, 132 studies were selected from the database search, and 16 were selected from a manual search. Twenty-three studies were finally included in this review after a complete full-text evaluation. Eleven studies were related to the force measurements using the strain gauges, and 12 were related to the piezoelectric force transducer. The principles of the two types of devices were completely different, but the devices produced comparable outcomes. The dynamics of the load magnitude and direction on the implant during function were clarified, although the number of participants in each study was small.
Conclusions
The load exerted on the implant during function was precisely measured in vivo using specific measuring devices, such as strain gauges or piezoelectric force transducers. The in vivo load data enable us to determine the actual biomechanical status in more detail, which might be useful for optimization of the implant prosthetic design and development of related materials. Due to the limited data and difficulty of in vivo measurements, the development of a new, simpler force measurement device and method might be necessary.

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.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164812. [PMID: 36013048 PMCID: PMC9409652 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
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.

Prognosis of Implants with Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses in the Elderly Population: A Retrospective Study with a 5- to 10-Year Follow-Up. Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:healthcare10071250. [PMID: 35885775 PMCID: PMC9317632 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10071250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Revised: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
This retrospective study aimed to investigate the survival rate of implants from 5 to 10 years after the placement of implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (ISFDPs) and the management of implant loss in the elderly population. Elderly patients (≥65 years old) who had been treated with ISFDPs and followed up with for at least 5 years between October 2009 and March 2020 were enrolled. Patient profiles and implant-related data were extracted. The survival rate of implants up to 5 years as well as the 10-year cumulative survival rate were evaluated. The management of implant loss and prosthetic interventions were also investigated. In total, 195 patients (mean age: 70.1 ± 4.5 years old) and 687 implants (287 ISFDPs) were assessed. The 5-year survival rate was 99.0% and the 10-year cumulative survival rate was 98.1%. Seven of the eleven implants lost were lost due to peri-implantitis. Only three implants in two patients were placed after the loss of the implants; most were restored using non-invasive procedures. Two patients underwent a conversion from ISFDPs to removable prostheses. This study showed that high survival rates were observed in an elderly population with ISFDPs and that non-invasive procedures were often applied after the loss of an implant.

Bone quality effect on short implants in the edentulous mandible: a finite element study. BMC Oral Health 2022; 22:139. [PMID: 35473637 PMCID: PMC9044581 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-022-02164-8] [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: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to verify whether the use of short implants could optimize stress distribution of bone surrounding implants in atrophic mandibles with different bone qualities. Methods A three-dimensional model of the atrophic mandible with three levels of bone quality was made using computer software. Short implants (6 mm) and standard implants (10 mm) were used in four designs: Design 1 "All-On four", Design 2 "All-On-four" with two short implants, Design 3 four vertical implants with two short implants, and Design 4 six short implants. The distal short implants were placed at the first molar position. All twelve models were imported into finite element analysis software, and 110 N oblique force was loaded on the left second premolar. Maximum principal stress values of peri-implant bone and the volumes of bone with over 3000 microstrians (overload)were analyzed. Result Stress values and volumes of overload bone increased in all four groups with the decline of bone quality. The highest stress values were found in the cortical bone surrounding the Design 1 inclined implant in two lower bone quality mandibles, and the lowest in Design 3. However, Design 1 had less overload bone tissue than all three designs with short implants. Conclusion Short implants placed posteriorly helped decrease stress values in peri-implant bone, while bone surrounding short implants had a high resorption risk in low bone quality mandible.

Influence of Bone-Level Dental Implants Placement and of Cortical Thickness on Osseointegration: In Silico and In Vivo Analyses. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11041027. [PMID: 35207298 PMCID: PMC8879296 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11041027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study the biomechanical response of dental implants in bone-level type locations, 0.5 mm above and below the bone level. In addition, the influence of the thickness of the cortical bone on osseointegration is determined due to the mechanical loads transfer from the dental implant to the cortical and trabecular bone. The thicknesses studied were 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm. Numerical simulations were performed using a finite element method (FEM)-based model. In order to verify the FEM model, the in silico results were compared with the results obtained from a histological analysis performed in an in vivo study with 30 New Zealand rabbits. FEM was performed using a computerized 3D model of bone-level dental implants inserted in the lower jawbone with an applied axial load of 100 N. The analysis was performed using different distances from the bone level and different thicknesses of cortical bone. The interface area of bone growth was evaluated by analyzing the bone–implant contact (BIC), region of interest (ROI) and total bone area (BAT) parameters obtained through an in vivo histological process and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bone-level implants were inserted in the rabbit tibiae, with two implants placed per tibia. These parameters were evaluated after three or six weeks of implantation. FEM studies showed that placements 0.5 mm below the bone level presented lower values of stress distribution compared to the other studied placements. The lower levels of mechanical stress were then correlated with the in vivo studies, showing that this position presented the highest BIC value after three or six weeks of implantation. In this placement, vertical bone growth could be observed up the bone level. The smallest thickness of the study showed a better transfer of mechanical loads, which leads to a better osseointegration. In silico and in vivo results both concluded that the implants placed 0.5 mm below the cortical bone and with lower thicknesses presented the best biomechanical and histological behavior in terms of new bone formation, enhanced mechanical stability and optimum osseointegration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to analyze the 5-year occlusal change in posterior implant-supported single crowns and the association between the relative occlusal force (ROF) and peri-implant bone level. MATERIALS AND METHODS Partially edentulous patients who had received implant-supported single crowns in the posterior region were included. Occlusal examinations with a computerized occlusion analysis system were conducted at 0.5, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after delivery of the implant-supported single crown. The ROFs of implant-supported single crowns, mesial adjacent teeth, and control natural teeth were recorded. Intraoral periapical radiographs were taken at each follow-up time to evaluate marginal bone level (MBL). Ordinary least square regression was used to analyze the association between ROF and MBL. RESULTS Thirty-seven posterior implant-supported single crowns in 33 participants (23.9 to 70.0 years) were followed up for 0.5 to 60 months [(42.4 ± 26.0) months]. The ROF of implant-supported single crowns increased from 2 weeks to 3 months (P < 0.01) and increased continuously between all two sequential time points from 6 to 36 months, with significant differences (P < 0.05). Then ROFs of implant-supported single crowns were significantly higher than those of control teeth at 48 and 60 months (P < 0.05). Regression analysis showed that ROF was significantly associated with MBL with a coefficient of 0.008 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The ROFs of posterior implant-supported single crown have significant change during 5 years' follow-up. The association between ROF and MBL has limited clinical significance. TRIAL REGISTRATION Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR-ROC-17012240. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The occlusion of implant-supported single crowns should be carefully monitored during follow-up examinations, and occlusal adjustment should be considered to prevent overloading.

Abstract
Both fixed and removable implant‐supported prostheses are well‐established methods for replacing missing teeth in partially or fully edentulous patients. Numerous systematic reviews have been performed in recent years to evaluate the survival and complication rates of implant‐retained fixed dental prostheses and implant‐retained overdentures, displaying high 5‐year survival rates ranging from 97.1% for fixed dental prostheses to 95%‐100% for implant‐retained overdentures. However, the survival rates only represent the prostheses remaining in use for a defined follow‐up time, and do not account for the potential prosthetic complications that may have arisen and influence the general success of the implant treatment. The most common technical complications of fixed implant‐retained single crowns are crown fracture, fractures of ceramic implant abutments, and esthetic problems. The predominant technical complication at multiple‐unit, implant‐retained fixed dental prostheses is fracture/chipping of the veneering ceramic. Reported technical complications for implant‐retained overdentures are overdenture fracture or chipping of the veneer materials, whereas mechanical complications include implant fracture, attachment failure, and attachment housing or insert complications. To reduce the risk of such failures, a comprehensive pretreatment diagnostic work‐up is essential, including defining the prosthetic goal with the aid of a wax‐up or set‐up and the associated ideal, prosthetically oriented three‐dimensional implant position. Furthermore, selection of the ideal type of prosthesis, including the respective implant components and materials, is important for clinical long‐term treatment success.

Med J Armed Forces India 2022; 78:80-87. [PMID: 35035048 PMCID: PMC8737102 DOI: 10.1016/j.mjafi.2020.11.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Effect of prosthesis design on occlusal overload and long-term implant stability cannot be overstated. In Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) crowns, low cusp inclination and occlusal contacts limited to central fossa ensure axially directed forces on an implant but often pose esthetic and functional challenges. It is theorized that resilient Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) crowns have shock absorption capacity for favorable stress distribution. This study compared two implant crown materials and evaluated the effect of cusp inclination and occlusal contact distribution on resultant stresses. METHODS Thirty 3D finite element models of implant-supported PFM and PEEK crowns, generated using Solidedge 3D CAD solid modeling software (v19, Siemens PLM Software Inc.,US), were used to study the effect of 3 cups inclinations (0°, 15°, 30°) under five load conditions, with 300N force distributed over one, two, or three contact areas and exported to ANSYS (v18.1, ANSYS Inc. Pennsylvania, US) for stress analysis. RESULTS Maximum stress in both PFM and PEEK models was at the neck of the implant under Load 3(300N distributed over three contact areas: central fossa, buccal cusp tip, marginal ridge). Minimum stress in all models was under Load 1(300N applied at one contact area in central fossa). Maximum stresses were recorded for 30° cusp inclination in PFM models. CONCLUSION In both PFM and PEEK crown models, contact areas placed away from the implant axis generated greater implant and peri-implant stresses and had more effect on resultant stresses than that of increase in cusp inclination. The effect of cusp inclination on the resultant stresses was dependent on the crown material.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Crestal bone stability, implant rigidity and occlusal loading are issues with small-diameter implants. This article demonstrates the use of two small-diameter implants replacing a missing wide edentulous site and discusses factors that may affect bone changes. METHODS Patients who wanted to restore an edentulous space measuring from 12 to 14 mm wide in the posterior region were offered an alternative treatment option, using two narrow or regular-diameter implants instead of one wide implant. In the study, the crestal bone stability of 12 implants in 6 edentulous sites was assessed by cone beam CTs and periapical radiographs in follow-up visits for up to 4 years. RESULTS The bone level of all the implants was stable at buccal, lingual, mesial and distal sites, with mean values < 1 mm. The average buccal bone thickness was 1.15 ± 1.07 mm and lingual was 1.86 ± 0.89 mm, meaning that implants were surrounded by a sufficient amount of bone. The good treatment outcome may be attributed to the capability of fabricating better emergence profiles, angles (Mean: 20.67 ± 7.82° at the mesial and 20.25 ± 8.23° at the distal site) and cleansable embrasures of prostheses which are key to maintaining good oral hygiene and implant health. CONCLUSION Using two narrow or regular-diameter implants to replace a single edentulous site measured around 12-14 mm wide in posterior region seemed to be a feasible treatment option. It is especially suitable for sites with ridge atrophy and/or patients suffering from systemic diseases.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behavior, stress distributions and bone microstrain of fixed partial dentures (FPD) with ceramic abutments supported on monotype zirconia implants, titanium implants and two-piece zirconia implants, using finite element analysis. A three-dimensional model of the jaw was simulated containing 1.0 mm thick cortical bone and cancellous bone tissue. A FPD and implant models (4.1 x 10 mm) were modeled containing a cement-retained implant abutment. These models were replicated in three groups with similar geometries: Titanium Implant and Zirconia Abutment (Ti-Zr); Zirconia Implant and Zirconia Abutment (Zr-Zr) and Monotype Zirconia Implant (Zr-S). An axial load of 300 N was applied to the center of the first premolar. The microstrain (με) and the Von-Mises stress (MPa) were assumed as failures criteria. For the three groups, a higher stress concentration was observed in the region of FPD connectors. The Ti-Zr group showed a higher stress concentration in the prosthesis and implant when compared to the other groups. However, the smaller elastic modulus of the titanium implant, in relation to the zirconia, provided a lower stress in the abutment and in the prosthetic screw. The monotype implant system allowed a more homogeneous stress distribution and its strain were predominantly located in the cervical region of the peri-implant bone tissue. Monotype or two-piece zirconia implants can be used for rehabilitation with FPD. However, the absence of separation between implant and abutment in the monotype system avoids the stress concentration in the prosthetic screw and reduced the peri-implant bone strain.

Abstract
Background Stress concentration may cause bone resorption even lead to the failure of implantation. This study was designed to investigate whether a certain sagittal root position could cause stress concentration around maxillary anterior custom-made root-analogue implants via three-dimensional finite element analysis. Methods The von Mises stresses in the bone around implants in different groups were compared by finite element analysis. Six models were constructed and divided into two groups through Geomagic Studio 2012 software. The smooth group included models of unthreaded custom-made implants in Class I, II or III sagittal root positions. The threaded group included models of reverse buttress-threaded implants in the three positions. The von Mises stress distributions and the range of the stresses under vertical and oblique loads of 100 N were analyzed through ANSYS 16.0 software. Results Stress concentrations around the labial lamella area were more prominent in the Class I position than in the Class II and Class III positions under oblique loading. Under vertical loading, the most obvious stress concentration areas were the labial lamella and palatal apical areas in the Class I and Class III positions, respectively. Stress was relatively distributed in the labial and palatal lamellae in the Class II position. The maximum von Mises stresses in the bone around the custom-made root-analogue implants in this study were lower than around traditional implants reported in the literature. The maximum von Mises stresses in this study were all less than 25 MPa in cortical bone and less than 6 MPa in cancellous bone. Additionally, compared to the smooth group, the threaded group showed lower von Mises stress concentration in the bone around the implants. Conclusions The sagittal root position affected the von Mises stress distribution around custom-made root-analogue implants. There was no certain sagittal root position that could cause excessive stress concentration around the custom-made root-analogue implants. Among the three sagittal root positions, the Class II position would be the most appropriate site for custom-made root-analogue implants.

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.

Haroun F, Ozan O. Evaluation of Stresses on Implant, Bone, and Restorative Materials Caused by Different Opposing Arch Materials in Hybrid Prosthetic Restorations Using the All-on-4 Technique. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14154308. [PMID: 34361502 PMCID: PMC8348490 DOI: 10.3390/ma14154308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2021] [Revised: 07/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
The long-term success of dental implants is greatly influenced by the use of appropriate materials while applying the “All-on-4” concept in the edentulous jaw. This study aims to evaluate the stress distribution in the “All-on-4” prosthesis across different material combinations using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) and to evaluate which opposing arch material has destructive effects on which prosthetic material while offering certain recommendations to clinicians accordingly. Acrylic and ceramic-based hybrid prosthesis have been modelled on a rehabilitated maxilla using the “All-on-4” protocol. Using different materials and different supports in the opposing arch (natural tooth, and implant/ceramic, and acrylic), a multi-vectorial load has been applied. To measure stresses in bone, maximum and minimum principal stress values were calculated, while Von Mises stress values were obtained for prosthetic materials. Within a single group, the use of an acrylic implant-supported prosthesis as an antagonist to a full arch implant-supported prosthesis yielded lower maximum (Pmax) and minimum (Pmin) principal stresses in cortical bone. Between different groups, maxillary prosthesis with polyetheretherketone as framework material showed the lowest stress values among other maxillary prostheses. The use of rigid materials with higher moduli of elasticity may transfer higher stresses to the peri implant bone. Thus, the use of more flexible materials such as acrylic and polyetheretherketone could result in lower stresses, especially upon atrophic bones.

Clin Oral Implants Res 2021; 32:1008-1018. [PMID: 34129707 PMCID: PMC8457202 DOI: 10.1111/clr.13795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2020] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
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.

Single-crown restorations supported by short implants (6 mm) compared with standard-length implants (13 mm) in conjunction with maxillary sinus floor augmentation: a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Int J Implant Dent 2021; 7:66. [PMID: 34268630 PMCID: PMC8282885 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-021-00348-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The purpose of the present study was to test the H0-hypothesis of no difference in the clinical and radiographical treatment outcome of single-crown restorations supported by short implants compared with standard length implants in conjunction with maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) after 1 year of functional implant loading. Forty patients with partial edentulism in the posterior part of the maxilla were randomly allocated to treatment involving single-crown restorations supported by short implants or standard length implants in conjunction with MSFA. Clinical and radiographical evaluation were used to assess survival of suprastructures and implants, peri-implant marginal bone loss (PIMBL), biological, and mechanical complications. Results Both treatment modalities were characterized by 100% survival of suprastructures and implants after 1 year. Mean PIMBL was 0.60 mm with short implants compared with 0.51 mm with standard length implants after 1 year of functional loading. There were no statistically significant differences in survival of suprastructure and implants, PIMBL, and mechanical complications between the two treatment modalities. However, a higher incidence of biological complications was associated with standard length implants in conjunction with MSFA. Conclusion Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that single-crown restorations supported by short implants seems to be comparable with standard length implants in conjunction with MSFA. However, long-term studies are needed before final conclusions can be provided about the two treatment modalities. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.Gov ID: NCT04518020. Date of registration: August 14, 2020, retrospectively registered.

A 3D Finite Element Analysis Model of Single Implant-Supported Prosthesis under Dynamic Impact Loading for Evaluation of Stress in the Crown, Abutment and Cortical Bone Using Different Rehabilitation Materials. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14133519.

Abstract
In the literature, many researchers investigated static loading effects on an implant. However, dynamic loading under impact loading has not been investigated formally using numerical methods. This study aims to evaluate, with 3D finite element analysis (3D FEA), the stress transferred (maximum peak and variation in time) from a dynamic impact force applied to a single implant-supported prosthesis made from different materials. A 3D implant-supported prosthesis model was created on a digital model of a mandible section using CAD and reverse engineering. By setting different mechanical properties, six implant-supported prostheses made from different materials were simulated: metal (MET), metal-ceramic (MCER), metal-composite (MCOM), carbon fiber-composite (FCOM), PEEK-composite (PKCOM), and carbon fiber-ceramic (FCCER). Three-dimensional FEA was conducted to simulate the collision of 8.62 g implant-supported prosthesis models with a rigid plate at a speed of 1 m/s after a displacement of 0.01 mm. The stress peak transferred to the crown, titanium abutment, and cortical bone, and the stress variation in time, were assessed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of morphological parameters of natural teeth and fixed partial dentures supported by dental implants on the time of occlusion. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study of the morphological parameters of the first right upper and lower molars of natural teeth and fixed partial dentures supported by dental implants in the positions of the first molars of the upper and lower jaws, followed by determination of the relationship between the obtained data and the occlusion time using mathematical and statistical analysis. RESULTS The study of the morphology of the occlusal surface of natural teeth and fixed partial dentures supported by dental implants did not reveal significant differences in the results of measuring the distances between the cusps of the upper and lower first molars, both natural teeth and fixed partial dentures supported by dental implants. However, the angles of the slopes of the cusps and the angles between cusps in natural teeth are sharper than those of artificial crowns. CONCLUSION According to the correlation analysis in both groups, the relationship between the occlusion time and the morphological parameters of the lower molars was determined; the relationship between the morphological parameters of the upper molars and the occlusion time was not revealed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Numerous studies have focused on the various complications with implant-retained restorations and a common thread in these publications is the potential for occlusal overload. The purpose of this Best Evidence Consensus Statement on implant occlusal schemes was to review the literature to determine the level of scientific evidence upon which the articles are based. MATERIALS AND METHODS Limiting the search to Clinical trials, Randomized Controlled Trials, Systematic Reviews, Meta-analyses, the key words: dental implants, occlusion, found no citations. Expanding the search to Journal articles found 1,483 results, 20 of which pertained to the question. Doing a similar search including Journal Articles, the key words: dental implants and occlusal scheme found 47 citations, 17 of which were pertinent to the question. RESULTS After eliminating duplicates and non-relevant articles, 15 were included in the review. Nineteen additional articles were culled by going through the reference lists in the aforementioned articles. CONCLUSIONS There is a lack of scientific evidence regarding the occlusal scheme utilized with implant restorations that will minimize or eliminate complications. In light of this lack of scientific evidence, the style of occlusion a practitioner utilizes with tooth or mucosal supported prostheses may be used with implant-supported restorations until compelling evidence dictates otherwise.

Effect of load-induced local mechanical strain on peri-implant bone cell activity related to bone resorption and formation in mice: An analysis of histology and strain distributions. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 116:104370. [PMID: 33545417 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of load-induced local mechanical strain on bone cell activity of peri-implant bone in mice. Titanium implants were placed in the maxillae of 13-week-old male C57BL/6J mice and subjected to intermittent 0.15 N, 0.3 N, or 0.6 N loads for 30 min/day for 6 days. The animals were sacrificed 2 days after the final loading. Unloaded mice were used as controls. An animal-specific three-dimensional finite element model was constructed based on morphological data retrieved from in vivo microfocus computed tomography for each mouse to calculate the mechanical strain distribution. Strain distribution images were overlaid on corresponding histological images of the same site in the same animal. The buccal cervical region of the peri-implant bone was predetermined as the region of interest (ROI). Each ROI was divided by four strain intensity levels: 0-20 με, 20-60 με, 60-100 με, and ≥100 με, and the bone histomorphometric parameters were analyzed by the total area of each strain range for all loaded samples. The distance between the calcified front and calcein labeling as a parameter representing the mineral apposition rate was significantly greater in the areas with strain intensity ≥100 με than in the area with strain intensity <100 με, suggesting that the bone formation activity of osteoblasts was locally enhanced by a higher mechanical strain. However, the shrunken osteocytes and the empty osteocyte lacunae were significantly lower in the highest strain area, suggesting that osteoclastogenesis was more retarded in higher strain areas than in lower strain areas. The histomorphometric parameters were not affected geometrically in the unloaded animals, suggesting that the load-induced mechanical strain caused differences in the histomorphometric parameters. Our findings support the hypothesis that bone cell activity related to bone resorption and formation is local strain-dependent on implant loading.

Abstract
Objectives New strategies for implant surface functionalization in the prevention of peri‐implantitis while not compromising osseointegration are currently explored. The aim of this in vivo study was to assess the osseointegration of a titanium‐silica composite implant, previously shown to enable controlled release of therapeutic concentrations of chlorhexidine, in the Göttingen mini‐pig oral model. Material and Methods Three implant groups were designed: macroporous titanium implants (Ti‐Porous); macroporous titanium implants infiltrated with mesoporous silica (Ti‐Porous + SiO2); and conventional titanium implants (Ti‐control). Mandibular last premolar and first molar teeth were extracted bilaterally and implants were installed. After 1 month healing, the bone in contact with the implant and the bone regeneration in the peri‐implant gap was evaluated histomorphometrically. Results Bone‐to‐implant contact and peri‐implant bone volume for Ti‐Porous versus Ti‐Porous + SiO2 implants did not differ significantly, but were significantly higher in the Ti‐Control group compared with Ti‐Porous + SiO2 implants. Functionalization of titanium implants via infiltration of a SiO2 phase into the titanium macropores does not seem to inhibit implant osseointegration. Yet, the importance of the implant macro‐design, in particular the screw thread design in a marginal gap implant surgery set‐up, was emphasized by the outstanding results of the Ti‐Control implant. Conclusions Next‐generation implants made of macroporous Ti infiltrated with mesoporous SiO2 do not seem to compromise the osseointegration process. Such implant functionalization may be promising for the prevention and treatment of peri‐implantitis given the evidenced potential of mesoporous SiO2 for controlled drug release.

Abstract
Crest module can be defined as the portion of a two-piece implant designed to retain the prosthetic components and to allows the maintenance of the peri-implant tissues in the transition zone. AIM To evaluate the three-year after loading clinical and radiographic data, collected from patients that received a prosthetic rehabilitation on conical connection implants with partial machined collar (PMC; CC Group) and same body-designed implants, with flat-to-flat connection and groovy neck design (FC Group). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review of previously collected data, including documents, radiographs, and pictures of patients who received at least one implant-supported restoration on NobelReplace CC PMC or NobelReplace Tapered Groovy implants was performed. Patients with at least three years of follow-up after final loading were considered for this study. Outcomes measures were implant and prosthesis failures, any biological or technical complications, marginal bone loss. RESULTS Eight-two patients (44 women, 38 men; average age 55.6) with 152 implants were selected and divided in two groups with 77 (CC group) and 75 (FC group), respectively. Three years after final loading, one implant in CC group failed (98.7% survival rate), while no implants failed in FC group (100% survival rate). One restoration failed in CC group (98.7% survival rate) with no restoration failing in the FC one (100% survival rate). Differences were not statistically significant (p = 1.0). Three years after final loading, mean marginal bone loss was 0.22 ± 0.06 mm (95% CI 0.2-0.24) in CC group and 0.62 ± 0.30 mm (95% CI 0.52-0.72) in FC group. The difference was statistically significant (0.40 ± 0.13 mm; 95% CI 0.3-0.5; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION with the limitation of this retrospective comparative study, implants with conical connection and partial machined collar seem to achieve a trend of superior outcomes if compared with implants with flat connection and groovy collar design.

Influence of occlusal loading on peri-implant inflammatory cytokines in crevicular fluid: a prospective longitudinal study. Int J Implant Dent 2020; 6:71. [PMID: 33111201 PMCID: PMC7591645 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-020-00262-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2019] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The objective of the study was to evaluate the relation between occlusal loading and peri-implant crevicular fluid cytokine expression in patients with implant-supported complete fixed prostheses in both arches. Material and methods A prospective longitudinal clinical study was performed at a university clinic. Fifteen patients were selected and 11 were included. All patients had bimaxillary implant-supported complete fixed ceramo-metallic prostheses loaded at least 12 months before the beginning of the study. Allocation was established for each patient using a computerized occlusal analysis system. The test implant was the maxillary implant closest to the point of highest occlusal loading. The maxillary implant with least loading was the control implant. Occlusal adjustment was performed using a round diamond burr. This occlusal distribution was verified with the occlusal analysis system. Expression of cytokines from peri-implant crevicular fluid (TNF-α, IL-10, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-8) were recorded and analyzed in both test and control implants before (baseline: T0) and 2 (T1) and 12 months (T2) after occlusal adjustment. The Brunner-Langer non-parametric test was performed. Results At T0, the expression of IL-10 was significantly higher in the test group implants (p = 0.018). Between T0 and T1, the expression of all the cytokines decreased in the implants of both groups with statistically significant differences, except for TNF (p = 0.271). When comparing both groups at T1, there was no statistically significant difference in any of the analyzed cytokines. At T2, TNF-α suffered when compared with baseline, a statistical decrease in both study and control implants (p < 0,001). At T2, there were no statistically significant differences between groups in any of the cytokines analyzed. Conclusions Implants with higher occlusal load presented higher expression of IL-10 in peri-implant crevicular fluid. Occlusal adjustment produced a decrease in the expression of all the analyzed cytokines, both in test and control implants.

Abstract
Peri-implant diseases are prevalent with a weighted mean prevalence rate of 43% across Europe and 22% across South and North America. Although the main etiologic agent is bacterial biofilm, a myriad of factors influence the initiation and progression of the disease. Unfortunately, the treatment of peri-implant diseases is at best favorable in the short term with a high rate of persistent inflammation and recurrence. Therefore, it is sensible to consider and control all potential factors that may predispose an implant to peri-implant tissue inflammation in an attempt to avoid the disease. This paper reviews recent evidence on factors that may predispose implants to peri-implantitis and measures that can be taken to prevent it.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the stresses transferred to peri-implant areas from single implants restored with different restorative materials and subjected to a static vertical load with low eccentricity. A total of 12 crowns were made with four types of materials: carbon fiber-composite, metal-ceramic, metal-composite, and full-metal, all of them cemented over a titanium abutment. Three different ways of approaching the problem have been used independently to verify the robustness of the conclusions. The experimental results of stress distribution around the implant were obtained by two image processing techniques: Digital Photoelasticity and Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The tests have been modelled by 3D Finite Element Method (FEM). The FEM models have also been used to study the sensitivity of the results to slight changes in geometry or loads, so that the robustness of the experimental techniques can be analyzed. In addition, the realistic bone morphology of the mandible has also been modelled by FEM, including the cortical and trabecular bone property distinctions.

Spine J 2020; 20:1219-1228. [PMID: 32445801 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2020.05.102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2019] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The development of bone loss (BL) at the operated level after cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has not been well recognized. The incidence of BL may be correlated with the prosthesis type. Currently, no study has reported the incidence of BL after CDA with the Prestige-LP disc, and this remains an active area of research. PURPOSE To determine the incidence of BL after Prestige-LP CDA and evaluate the impact of BL on clinical and radiological outcomes. STUDY DESIGN This is an observational study. PATIENT SAMPLE A total of 396 patients were reviewed. OUTCOME MEASURES The Japanese Orthopedics Association (JOA), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores were evaluated. Cervical lordosis, disc angle, global and segmental range of motion (ROM), heterotopic ossification (HO), and BL were measured. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent Prestige-LP disc from January 2008 to October 2018 at our institution. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using JOA, VAS, and NDI scores. Radiological variables, including cervical lordosis, disc angle, global and segmental ROM, HO, and BL, were retrieved. RESULTS A total of 396 patients and 483 CDAs were evaluated. BL occurred in 56.6% of patients and 52.8% of CDA segments. Mild BL occurred in 30.2%, moderate BL in 37.3%, and severe BL in 32.5% of CDA segments. Notably, 88.2% of CDA segments developed BL within the first 3 months, and 19.1% of them progressed at 6 months. However, no progressive BL after 12 months was seen. About 50.2% of CDAs showed superior and inferior endplates involvement. The incidence of BL was associated with age, surgery type, level distribution, and incidence and grade of HO. Patients with BL had a better segmental ROM, but no relationships between patients with or without BL were found in clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS BL was a common but self-limited phenomenon after CDA at the early postoperative stage. It occurred more often in relatively young age patients, two-level CDA, and C5/6 segment. However, patients suffering from BL showed no deterioration of the clinical outcomes, more exceptional motion preservation at the arthroplasty level, and lower incidence with a lower grade of HO.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review the scientific evidence regarding the marginal bone loss around the tissue-level and bone-level implants. METHODS MEDLINE-PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched for the relevant English articles (up to February 2019) assessing the marginal bone loss (MBL) as the primary outcome. To be selected, studies were supposed to directly mention "tissue-level" and "bone-level" implants or implants with and without a smooth neck. Relevant data were extracted and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of implant neck design. RESULTS A total of 19 studies (10 clinical, and 9 RCT studies) were included for qualitative analysis. There was a vast heterogeneity between studies in terms of implant designs and study protocol. Out of 19 articles included, 11 studies reached to a statistically significant difference in MBL between the groups; however, the differences were not found to be clinically relevant. Bone-level implants with platform-switched abutments in most of the cases showed better marginal bone stability compared to tissue-level implants or bone-level implants with matching abutments. Seven RCTs with 12 months follow-up data were selected for meta-analysis (I2=93%; heterogeneous), and the results showed less MBL around bone-level implants compared to tissue-level group (WMD=-0.21mm; 95% CI -0.42, 0.00; P=0.06). CONCLUSION The available data regarding comparison of MBL around bone-level and tissue-level implants are heterogeneous. Bone-level implants with platform switching may better preserve crestal bone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present paper was to review factors and conditions that are associated with hard and soft-tissue deficiencies at implant sites. IMPORTANCE Hard- and soft-tissue deficiencies at dental implants are common clinical findings. They can lead to complications and compromise implant survival and, hence, may require therapeutic interventions. It is, therefore, important to understand the etiology of hard and soft-tissue deficiencies. Based on this understanding, strategies should be developed to correct hard and soft-tissue deficiencies with the aim of improving clinical outcomes of implant therapy. FINDINGS A large number of etiological factors have been identified that may lead to hard and soft-tissue deficiencies. These factors include: 1) systemic diseases and conditions of the patients; 2) systemic medications; 3) processes of tissue healing; 4) tissue turnover and tissue response to clinical interventions; 5) trauma to orofacial structures; 6) local diseases affecting the teeth, the periodontium, the bone and the mucosa; 7) biomechanical factors; 8) tissue morphology and tissue phenotype; and 9) iatrogenic factors. These factors may appear as an isolated cause of hard and soft-tissue defects or may appear in conjunction with other factors. CONCLUSIONS Hard- and soft-tissue deficiencies at implant sites may result from a multitude of factors. They encompass natural resorption processes following tooth extraction, trauma, infectious diseases such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, endodontic infections, growth and development, expansion of the sinus floor, anatomical preconditions, mechanical overload, thin soft tissues, lack of keratinized mucosa, malpositioning of implants, migration of teeth, lifelong growth, and systemic diseases. When more than one factor leading to hard and/or soft-tissue deficiencies appear together, the severity of the resulting condition may increase. Efforts should be made to better identify the relative importance of these etiological factors, and to develop strategies to counteract their negative effects on our patient's wellbeing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Marginal bone stability is considered one of the most important issues in implant dentistry. It is essential to understand how various factors influence bone resorption around implants. The purpose of this retrospective longitudinal study was to identify potential risk indicators associated with marginal bone resorption around implants in function for at least 4 years. METHODS Several systemic-related, intraoral-related, implant-related factors were collected. Marginal bone level change (MBLC) was determined by comparing intraoral radiographs taken at baseline (1 year after prosthesis delivery), and at follow-up (over 3 years from baseline). A hierarchical regression analysis using liner mixed-effects models was performed to examine correlations between MBLC and various factors. RESULTS Overall, 514 patients with 1535 implants were analyzed. The mean age of the participants was 62.9 years. Mean annual MBLC was 0.048 mm, and mean functional time was 5.96 years. The result showed that the following explanatory variables had significant effects on MBLC: functional time, plaque control record > 20%, Eichner index C1-3, maxilla, cement-retained superstructure, and keratinized mucosa width < 2 mm. We did not find statistically significant associations between bone resorption and some variables known as risk factors, such as diabetes, smoking, and history of periodontitis. CONCLUSIONS Within the limits of this study, longer functional time, poor oral hygiene, loss of occlusal support, location in the maxilla, cement-retained superstructure, and less keratinized mucosa should be considered as risk indicators for bone resorption around implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the definition of an occlusal scheme, clinicians should choose between conventional and computerised methods based on a careful appraise of the advantages and limitations. This study aims to assess the correlation between the two approaches in a clinical setting. METHODS Twenty-four patients were included to compare different methods of occlusal contacts assessment on the posterior surfaces of flat mandibular appliances. In supine position, they were asked to clench with maximum strength, in the maximum intercuspation position with a 24 μm articulating paper positioned between the teeth and the appliance surface. An extra-oral photograph of the marks was taken (total N = 2082). They were visually classified based on a pre-defined scale (ie, conventional assessment) and with ImageJ analysis software (ie, photographic software assessment). Additionally, a computerised occlusal analysis was performed (ie, computerised assessment). Correlation analysis of the data achieved with conventional, photographic and computerised assessments was performed. RESULTS Correlation between conventional and computerised assessments was weak (r = .265), whilst it was moderate between conventional and photographic assessments (r = .633), as well as between photographic and computerised assessments (r = .476). CONCLUSIONS This investigation showed a weak-to-moderate correlation between different methods (ie, conventional, photographic and computerised) to assess occlusal marks. None of the three can actually be considered the standard of reference, but based on their specific features, it can bet suggested that the conventional method may be enough for most clinical purposes, unless otherwise proven.
