Jagdish RK, Chappity P, Lata S. Dental and ENT Evaluation Before Liver Transplantation. J Clin Exp Hepatol 2024; 14:101431. [PMID: 38745755 PMCID: PMC11090062 DOI: 10.1016/j.jceh.2024.101431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
The assessment of dental and ear, nose and throat (ENT) conditions holds significant importance in the pre-transplantation evaluation for individuals undergoing liver transplantation. This evaluation aims to address concerns related to dental and ENT issues both before and after liver transplantation. These concerns include the risk of sepsis, the impact of post-transplantation immunosuppression, the detection of existing malignancies, including oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), and identifying any contraindications to the transplantation procedure. However, it is worth noting that there exists a notable absence of clear guidelines and protocols in the existing literature regarding this practice. Moreover, recent studies have presented conflicting results, and concerns have arisen regarding the cost-effectiveness of these evaluations. It is crucial to perform these investigations judiciously to avoid unnecessary testing burdens and delays in placing patients on waiting lists, particularly when considering live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) evaluations. A comprehensive examination of the oral and ENT regions, in conjunction with relevant laboratory tests, can play a pivotal role in identifying and managing oral and ENT diseases before the liver transplantation procedure. Timely recognition and treatment of potential issues are essential for minimizing perioperative morbidity and mortality. There is an evident need for prospective trials and studies to further explore and establish guidelines in the critical area of dental and ENT evaluation in liver transplantation recipients. Such research efforts would contribute significantly to enhancing our understanding and management of oral and ENT conditions in the pre-transplantation setting, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.

Dental implant considerations in patients with systemic diseases: An updated comprehensive review. J Oral Rehabil 2024; 51:1250-1302. [PMID: 38570927 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Various medical conditions and the drugs used to treat them have been shown to impede or complicate dental implant surgery. It is crucial to carefully monitor the medical status and potential post-operative complications of patients with systemic diseases, particularly elderly patients, to minimize the risk of health complications that may arise. AIM The purpose of this study was to review the existing evidence on the viability of dental implants in patients with systemic diseases and to provide practical recommendations to achieve the best possible results in the corresponding patient population. METHODS The information for our study was compiled using data from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases and searched separately for each systemic disease included in our work until October 2023. An additional manual search was also performed to increase the search sensitivity. Only English-language publications were included and assessed according to titles, abstracts and full texts. RESULTS In total, 6784 studies were found. After checking for duplicates and full-text availability, screening for the inclusion criteria and manually searching reference lists, 570 articles remained to be considered in this study. CONCLUSION In treating patients with systemic conditions, the cost-benefit analysis should consider the patient's quality of life and expected lifespan. The success of dental implants depends heavily on ensuring appropriate maintenance therapy, ideal oral hygiene standards, no smoking and avoiding other risk factors. Indications and contraindications for dental implants in cases of systemic diseases are yet to be more understood; broader and hardcore research needs to be done for a guideline foundation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prosthetics for patients after oncological resection of the upper jaw is a complex problem associated with the physiological and anatomical separation of the oral cavity and the nasal/paranasal region. This study reports the clinical results of the use of the zygomatic implants for prosthetic rehabilitation in patients with maxillectomy due to upper jaw tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 16 patients who underwent prosthetic rehabilitation using a zygomatic implant after maxillectomy period from 2021 to 2023. After the tumor was removed, immediate surgical obturators were placed. Main prosthetic rehabilitation was performed 6-12 months after tumor removal, but before that, a temporary obturator was made and used. Six-twelve months after tumor resection, 1-4 zygomatic implants were inserted into the zygomatic bone unilaterally or bilaterally. A total of 42 zygomatic implants were installed, 2 of which were unsuccessful and were removed in 1 patient. The implants were placed using the surgical guide, which was planned and prepared digitally. RESULTS No postsurgical complications were seen, and the patients were discharged from the hospital after 7-10 days. The patients were able to return to a normal diet (hard food) after just 7 days following surgery, with no further complaints regarding function or pain, apart from the residual edema caused by the intervention. CONCLUSIONS The use of prostheses fixed on zygomatic implants in patients with maxillary defects is an effective method of prosthodontic rehabilitation in complex clinical cases after maxillectomy.

Immediate versus delayed implant placement of novel fully tapered tissue-level implants - A retrospective multicenter clinical study. Clin Oral Implants Res 2024; 35:668-676. [PMID: 38572982 DOI: 10.1111/clr.14263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of novel fully tapered tissue-level implants in immediate implant placement (type 1) versus late implant placement (type 4) for the first time. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this clinical study, 318 fully tapered tissue-level implants in 65 patients were inserted immediately (n = 68 implants) or late (n = 250 implants) in two different centers. Implant survival and success rates and marginal bone levels were analyzed. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 12.0 ± 5 months, implant survival rates were 97.8% for all implants. No statistically significant difference in implant survival rates between type 1 and type 4 could be detected (98.5% vs 97.6%, HR 0.70, 95%-CI 0.084-5.81). Neither for implant length (HR 0.53, 95%-CI 0.055-5.08) nor for implant width (HR 0.27, CI 0.028-2.55), a significant influence on implant survival could be detected. Type of used biomaterial for filling the gap and immediate loading showed no effect on implant survival. Mean marginal bone loss was 0.02 ± 0.05 mm for type 1 and 0.04 ± 0.1 for type 4. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this retrospective study and the short follow-up, the results demonstrated comparable high survival and success rates and stable marginal bone levels for type 1 and type 4 placement of this novel tissue-level implant (no clinical trial registration as retrospective study design).

Bone Metabolism and Dental Implant Insertion as a Correlation Affecting on Marginal Bone Remodeling: Texture Analysis and the New Corticalization Index, Predictor of Marginal Bone Loss-3 Months of Follow-Up. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3212. [PMID: 38892923 PMCID: PMC11173209 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13113212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: The general condition of implantology patients is crucial when considering the long- and short-term survival of dental implants. The aim of the research was to evaluate the correlation between the new corticalization index (CI) and patients' condition, and its impact on marginal bone loss (MBL) leading to implant failure, using only radiographic (RTG) images on a pixel level. Method: Bone near the dental implant neck was examined, and texture features were analyzed. Statistical analysis includes analysis of simple regression where the correlation coefficient (CC) and R2 were calculated. Detected relationships were assumed to be statistically significant when p < 0.05. Statgraphics Centurion version 18.1.12 (Stat Point Technologies, Warrenton, VA, USA) was used to conduct the statistical analyses. Results: The research revealed a correlation between MBL after 3 months and BMI, PTH, TSH, Ca2+ level in blood serum, phosphates in blood serum, and vitamin D. A correlation was also observed between CI and PTH, Ca2+ level in blood serum, vitamin D, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides on the day of surgery. After 3 months of the observation period, CI was correlated with PTH, TSH, Ca2+ level in blood serum, and triglycerides. Conclusion: The results of the research confirm that the general condition of patients corresponds with CI and MBL. A patient's general condition has an impact on bone metabolism around dental implants. Implant insertion should be considered if the general condition of the patient is not stable. However, CI has not yet been fully investigated. Further studies are necessary to check and categorize the impact of corticalization on marginal bone loss near dental implants.

Abstract
As a discipline of dentistry, oral implantology deals with the diagnosis, design, insertion, restoration, and/or management of alloplastic or autogenous oral structures for the purpose of regaining contour, function, aesthetics, and speech in a partially or completely edentulous patient. The present review aims to provide the currently available knowledge about the impact of certain systemic disorders and the usage of some medications on the survival rate of dental implant therapy and to highlight the importance of patient management under these conditions. Diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and the intake of some medications can increase the risk of the failure of a dental implant. Even though there are relatively few medical contraindications to dental implant treatment, certain conditions may increase the risk of failure or complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of disabled patients is rare but critical for welfare of patients. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of fixed implants in edentulous areas on OHRQoL in Korean disabled patients. METHODS The OHRQoL of 63 disabled individuals was evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-14 questionnaires and studied by potential affecting variables such as age, sex, disability severity, and time of disability acquisition. Wilcoxon-signed rank tests were used to examine the OHIP-14 scores for those who had pre/post-fixed implants. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationships between factors and OHIP-14 scores before and after implants. A partial correlation analysis was also performed to determine which variables influenced OHIP-14 scores before and after treatment. The Mann-Whitney test was employed for sex and time of disability acquisition analysis (α = 0.05). RESULTS Significant improvement was found in OHIP-14 post-implant treatment scores (P < .001). After implant treatment, the severity of disability produced significantly different results (P = .009). Pearson's correlation coefficient between severity of disability and pre/post-implant OHIP-14 scores was 0.265 (P = .030). After controlling for severity of disability, the results showed older patients had lower OHIP-14 scores (P = .032). No differences were found for sex or time of disability acquisition (congenital vs. acquired). CONCLUSIONS Fixed implant treatment improved OHRQoL for disabled patients, and the severity of disability was positively correlated with improvement of OHRQoL. For patients with a similar level of disability, the OHRQoL decreased with age.

Abstract
HIV pathogenesis affects TCD4+ lymphocytes, causing impairment of the immune system. Thus, the consequent immunological fragility of individuals with the disease and the absence of studies that serve as a guide for clinicians' decision-making make many healthcare professionals recognize it as a synonym of contraindication for oral rehabilitation treatments with dental implants.

Abstract
When bone is limited, short, ultra-short, or narrow implants help to restore oral rehabilitation with an acceptable long-term outcome. This becomes more difficult with severe vertical bone loss. Guided bone regeneration, onlay block transplantation, or sandwich osteotomy have been established to build up these defects. The alternative to the alveolar distraction osteogenesis (ADO) has only been established in some centers, with a standardized protocol. On the one hand, ADO is a biological procedure that allows almost a "restitutio ad integrum" when building up hard and soft tissue. On the other hand, there are clear indications, limitations, and complications of the procedure in the literature. In addition to the literature, concept of Tissue Regeneration by Alveolar Callusdistraction Cologne (TRACC), which has been practiced successfully for over two decades, will be presented for different indications.

Abstract
The intricate interplay between the immune system and oral health has revealed opportunities for novel therapeutic interventions in dentistry and periodontics. This review article delves into the pivotal role of immunomodulators in orchestrating immune responses within the oral cavity and their applications in managing various oral and periodontal conditions. The oral environment faces many challenges, from microbial infections to tissue injuries, necessitating a precise immune response for optimal oral health maintenance. Characterized by their ability to modulate immune reactions, immunomodulators emerge as versatile tools for maintaining immune equilibrium. This is a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms through which immunomodulators exert their effects, shedding light on their dual role as regulators of both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory pathways. The diverse applications of immunomodulators within dentistry are explored in depth. Immunomodulators exhibit promising outcomes from managing common oral conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral ulcers to enhancing the integration of dental implants and promoting wound healing post-surgery. This article highlights the various types of immunomodulatory agents utilized in dental practice, elucidating their mechanisms of action, routes of administration, dosages, and potential side effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of dental implants (DIs) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) treated with radiotherapy (RT), isolated chemotherapy, or bone modifying agents (BMAs). STUDY DESIGN This study was registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42018102772); conducted via the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist; and based on PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and gray literature searches. The selection of studies was performed in 2 phases by 2 independent reviewers. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed by the Measurement Tool to Assess the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews 2. RESULTS Twenty systematic reviews were included in the qualitative analysis. The majority scored as having high RoB (n = 11). Primary DIs placement in the mandible of patients with HNC subjected to RT doses <50 Gy was associated with better survival rates. CONCLUSIONS The placements of DIs could be considered safe in patients with HNC in sites of alveolar bone that received RT (≤5000 Gy); however, no conclusions could be made in patients with cancer managed by chemotherapy or BMAs. Due to the heterogeneity of studies included, the recommendation for DIs placement in patients with cancer should be carefully considered. Future better controlled randomized clinical trials are required to provide enhanced clinical guidelines for best patient care.

Abstract
Increased human life expectancy broadens the alternatives for missing teeth and played a role in the widespread use of dental implants and related augmentation procedures for the aging population. Though, many of these patients may have one or more diseases. These systemic conditions may directly lead to surgical complications, compromise implant/bone healing, or influence long-term peri-implant health and its response to biologic nuisances. Offering patients credible expectations regarding intra- and postoperative complications and therapeutic prognosis is an ethical and legal obligation. Clear identification of potential types of adverse effects, complications, or errors is important for decision-making processes as they may be related to different local, systemic, and technical aspects. Therefore, the present review structures the underlying biological mechanisms, clinical evidence, and clinical recommendations for the most common systemic risk factors for implant-related complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the survival rates of dental implants placed in patients with head and neck pathologies treated with resective surgery with or without free flap reconstruction, radiotherapy alone, and/or chemotherapy. STUDY DESIGN In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the survival of intraoral dental implants placed by the same surgeon over a 12-year period from 2007 to 2019. These implants were followed up clinically and radiographically for a period of 36 months postoperatively and throughout the restorative phase. RESULTS A total of 190 patients with a total of 739 dental implants, comprising both intraoral and zygomatic implants, were included in this study. Overall, the dental implant survival rate was 95%, with a similar rate for dental implants placed in irradiated and nonirradiated bone (90% vs 93%). A lower implant survival rate was noted in implants placed in transplanted bone (79%). In cases of implant failure (n = 17), 35% (n = 6) of protheses survived and remained functional. CONCLUSIONS Our findings support the placement of dental implants in patients with benign and malignant pathologies of the head and neck to improve their quality of life. However, we highlight the need for careful surgical planning and placement by experienced clinicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental implants have been one of the most popular treatments for rehabilitating individuals with single missing teeth or fully edentulous jaws since their introduction. As more implant patients are well-aged and take several medications due to various systemic conditions, clinicians should be mindful of possible drug implications on bone remodeling and osseointegration. OBJECTIVE The present study aims to study and review some desirable and some unwelcomed implications of medicine on osseointegration. METHODS A broad search for proper relevant studies were conducted in four databases, including Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. RESULTS Some commonly prescribed medicines such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glucocorticoids, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), anticoagulants, metformin, and chemotherapeutic agents may jeopardize osseointegration. On the contrary, some therapeutic agents such as anabolic, anti-catabolic, or dual anabolic and anti-catabolic agents may enhance osseointegration and increase the treatment's success rate. CONCLUSION Systemic medications that enhance osseointegration include mineralization promoters and bone resorption inhibitors. On the other hand, medications often given to the elderly with systemic problems might interfere with osseointegration, leading to implant failure. However, to validate the provided research, more human studies with a higher level of evidence are required.

Abstract
Implanted biomaterials elicit a series of distinct immune and repair-like responses that are collectively known as the foreign body reaction (FBR). These include processes involving innate immune inflammatory cells and wound repair cells that contribute to the encapsulation of biomaterials with a dense collagenous and largely avascular capsule. Numerous studies have shown that the early phase is dominated by macrophages that fuse to form foreign body giant cells that are considered a hallmark of the FBR. With the advent of more precise cell characterization techniques, specific macrophage subsets have been identified and linked to more or less favorable outcomes. Moreover, studies comparing synthetic- and natural-based polymer biomaterials have allowed the identification of macrophage subtypes that distinguish between fibrotic and regenerative responses. More recently, cells associated with adaptive immunity have been shown to participate in the FBR to synthetic polymers. This suggests the existence of cross-talk between innate and adaptive immune cells that depends on the nature of the implants. However, the exact participation of adaptive immune cells, such as T and B cells, remains unclear. In fact, contradictory studies suggest either the independence or dependence of the FBR on these cells. Here, we review the evidence for the involvement of adaptive immunity in the FBR to synthetic polymers with a focus on cellular and molecular components. In addition, we examine the possibility that such biomaterials induce specific antibody responses resulting in the engagement of adaptive immune cells.

A Systematic Analysis of the Available Human Clinical Studies of Dental Implant Failure in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58030343. [PMID: 35334519 PMCID: PMC8954657 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58030343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and objectives: The aim was to evaluate the current literature on the influence of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis/Crohn’s disease) in dental implant osseointegration in human clinical studies. Materials and methods: This review was conducted under the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were electronic screened to find relevant articles published until October 2021. The inclusion criteria consisted of human clinical studies that reported the use of dental implant in patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. Risk of bias was assessed according to The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology criteria. Results: A total of 786 studies were identified from databases. Of these, six studies were included in the review and reported the use of implants in patients with Crohn’s disease. No articles were available for ulcerative colitis. Included articles indicated that Crohn’s disease may determine early and late implant failure. Besides Crohn’s disease, several patients presented associated risk factors and systemic disease that determined implant failure. Conclusions: The presence of clinical studies on the influence of IBD in implant therapy is low. When recommending an implant therapy to IBD patients, the multidisciplinary team should be aware of side effects and a close collaboration between members of this team is necessary. More data are needed to sustain the effect of IBD on implant therapy.

Abstract
Corticosteroids have been the cornerstone for treatment of many inflammatory and immune disorders with these beneficial effects well recognized by the medical community. It also possesses many undesirable clinical adverse effects that can occur within 2 weeks of use. Moreover, in the past decade, chronic users of corticosteroids have been linked to skeletal (vertebral and hip) osteoporosis/osteonecrosis with some patients requiring adjunctive antiresprotive medications to counteract fracture prevention. Additionally, two case reports have implicated daily prednisone user to cause osteonecrosis of the mandible. This chapter highlights current adrenal suppression classifications, pathophysiology, drug interactions, and perioperative surgical and anesthesia management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the prevalence of peri-implantitis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients and the presence of a possible correlation between the immunological profile and serological values, of peri-implantitis, and of possible differences between all-on-4 and single crown/bridge prostheses. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 58 adult HIV-positive patients (222 implants) with either all-in-4 prostheses or single crowns/bridges on at least one dental implant loaded for more than a year who were followed for 3 year (mean follow-up). Data pertaining to the probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing, and immunological and systemic profile were collected. RESULTS Patients with single crown/bridge implant rehabilitation showed higher prevalence of peri-implantitis (34%) than patients with all-on-4 rehabilitation (0%) (p = 0.012). Patients with all-on-4 rehabilitation were significantly older than those with single crowns/bridges (p = 0.004). Patients with peri-implantitis had implants for a significantly longer duration than those without (p = 0.001), implying that the probability of peri-implantitis increases as the age of implant increases. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of peri-implantitis was 26% in the HIV-positive patients population. No correlation was found between patients' immunological and serological factors and peri-implantitis. The most important risk factor for peri-implantitis and mucositis was implant age.

Abstract
Implant supported dental prostheses are increasingly used in dental practice. The aim of this narrative review is to present the influence of transmucosal surface of prosthetic abutment and implant on peri-implant tissue. The article describes causes of bone loss around the dental implant. Moreover, properties of different materials are compared and discussed. The advantages, disadvantages, and biomechanical concept of different implant-abutment connections are presented. The location of connections in relation to the bone level and the influence of microgap between the abutment and implant are described. Additionally, the implant abutments for cemented and screwed prosthetic restorations are compared. The influence of implant and abutment surface at the transmucosal level on peri-implant soft tissue is discussed. Finally, the biological aspect of abutment-implant connection is analyzed.

Abstract
During the last decades, the number of immunosuppressed organ transplant patients has increased consistently. Nevertheless, immunosuppression has been discussed as a contraindication for dental implant procedures for many years. Hence, the purpose of this systematic review was to assess the survival rate and outcomes of dental implants after solid organ transplantation. An electronic and manual literature search was conducted up to March 2021. Publications describing dental implants placed in patients after organ transplantation were included without any limitations regarding study design or date of publication. Ten articles met the inclusion criteria, leading to a sample of 93 patients with 249 implants. Implant survival rates were 100% over a mean follow-up of 60 months. In every case, implant surgery was performed under antibiotic coverage. No major medication-related complications were reported. Despite the limited amount of evidence in the literature, implant procedures seem to be a safe treatment option in immunosuppressed organ transplant patients. The observance of appropriate treatment protocols including a strict maintenance programme seems to be crucial for the long-term success of such treatments. However, stringent data regarding various influencing factors such as the prevalence of peri-implantitis are still missing.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis is a rare multisystem autoimmune disorder that significantly impacts the orofacial region. Several oral features including microstomia and increased tooth loss contribute to the mouth-related disability. Prosthetic rehabilitation is very challenging in these patients. As the spectrum of dental implants indications has been recently extended to patients with various systemic disorders, the aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the outcome of dental implants in patients with systemic sclerosis. A literature search was conducted in Medline/PubMed database to identify eligible case-reports. 10 publications were included in qualitative synthesis. A total of 71 implants have been reported in 10 patients with systemic sclerosis with a mean of 7.1 +/- 3.8 implants per patient. Pre-implant surgeries have been described for 3 patients. Implant survival rates were higher than 98% but the mean follow-up time was only 28.3 +/- 18.6 months. Complications have been observed in 3 patients with 1 implant failure and peri-implant bone resorption in 2 patients. Although implant survival rates were high, an individualized assessment of risk-benefit balance is mandatory before indicating implant-based rehabilitation in patients suffering from systemic sclerosis and a scrupulous maintenance program has to be implemented. Further studies are strongly required to establish clinical guidelines.

Abstract
Background: This study aims to analyze bone compaction and osseodensification techniques and to investigate how cancellous bone compaction could influence primary implant stability (PS). Methods: Two different surgical protocols (bone compactors—BC; osseodensification drills—OD) were compared by placing 20 implants into 20 fresh pig ribs for each procedure. Peak insertion torque (PIT) and peak removal torque (PRT) were investigated using an MGT-12 digital torque gauge, and implant stability quotient (ISQ) was analyzed using an Osstell® Beacon device. Results: Analysis of our data (T-test p < 0.05) evidenced no statistically significant difference between BC and OD in terms of PIT (p = 0.33) or ISQ (p = 0.97). The comparison of PRT values showed a statistically significant difference between BC and OD protocols (p = 0.009). Conclusions: Cancellous bone compaction seems to improve PS, preserving a significant amount of bone and evenly spreading trabeculae on the entire implant site. While the PIT and ISQ values obtained are similar, the PRT values suggest different physical responses from the surrounding bone tissue. Nevertheless, a larger sample and further in vivo studies are necessary to validate the usefulness of BC protocol in several clinical settings.

Abstract
This systematic review investigates the failure rate and marginal bone loss (MBL) of dental implants placed in patients undergoing solid-organ transplant (SOT) compared to healthy controls. Three databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, and the Cochrane Library) were searched up to June 2020 (PROSPERO CRD42019124896). Case-control and cohort studies reporting data failure rate and marginal bone loss (MBL) of dental implants placed in SOT patients were included. The risk of bias of observational studies was assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Four case-control studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria; all had low risk of bias. Meta-analyses revealed consistently lower implant failure rate than control populations at patient and implant levels. SOT patients had a significant difference of −18% (p-value < 0.001) MBL compared to healthy patients. SOT status poses no serious threat to implant survival. Overall, this group of patients presented lower levels of dental implant failure rate and marginal bone loss compared to otherwise healthy patients. Further intervention trials with larger sample size and longer follow-ups are necessary to confirm these summarized results.

Abstract
Advances in dental implant therapy have created choices to enhance the expectations of dental practitioners and their patients with respect to oral rehabilitation at any age after childhood and regardless of, in most cases, medical disabilities. The medical status of the patient however can significantly influence the success rate of dental implant therapy. This article applies the hierarchy of scientific evidence ranging from case reports, retrospective, prospective cohort investigations, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses criteria in order to determine whether dental implant placement in medically compromised patients yields any detrimental sequelae.

Does HIV infection affect the survival of dental implants? A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Prosthet Dent 2020; 125:862-869. [PMID: 32694022 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2020] [Revised: 04/06/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Immunosuppression and coinfections associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection pose a relative contraindication for dental implant therapy. However, although implants have been placed in patients with HIV with reasonable success, how HIV infection affects their survival is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis was to analyze the data on the survival of dental implants in patients with HIV. MATERIAL AND METHODS A search for relevant articles published up to November 2019 was performed in PubMed/Medline and Cochrane databases, Clinicaltrials.gov, and Google Scholar. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were adopted for the conduct of the systematic review. The most pertinent data were extracted and pooled for qualitative and quantitative analyses with 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity was analyzed by using I-squared statistics. RESULTS A total of 8 studies involving 411 individuals with HIV and 1109 implants were included in the meta-analysis. The mean follow-up period was 2.8 years. A pooled estimate of 95% of implant survival rate with 95% confidence interval(92% to 96%) was noted. Heterogeneity across the 8 studies was found to be 41% with moderate true variability. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review demonstrated that HIV infection does not pose a serious threat to implant survival on short-term evaluation, but the evidence is of low quality.
