[PMID: 35491260 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2021] [Revised: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Loss of retention is a clinical complication for fixed partial dentures (FPDs). However, a method sensitive enough to measure the early retention loss of FPDs is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro and finite element analysis (FEA) study was to determine whether resonance frequency analysis (RFA) with a newly developed system can detect lack of FPD retention caused by cement loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two evaluation methods were used: RFA of an in vitro model of a 3-unit FPD from the second premolar to the second molar and FEA by using a simplified model. The in vitro model was used to evaluate 4 connecting conditions: both crowns cemented, only the premolar crown cemented, only the molar crown cemented, and both crowns uncemented. Tapping stimulation (16 impulsive forces, 4 Hz) was directly applied to the buccal side of the second molar or the second premolar, and an attached 3D accelerometer sensor was used to record the resonance frequency (RF) of the tapped tooth. The amplitude, frequency, Q-value, and total area under the curve (AUC) of the RF values in the buccolingual direction were compared between connecting conditions. The FEA was done by using a simplified model of a 3-unit FPD with similar connecting conditions as the in vitro model study, and the RF amplitude and frequency of each tooth were calculated. Statistical evaluation included 1-way analysis of variance and the Tukey HSD test to compare the differences among each connecting condition under each parameter for measurement sites on the molar and the premolar, respectively (α=.05). RESULTS For both the molar and premolar measurements in both the in vitro and FEA models, when the measurement site was on the uncemented tooth, the amplitude of RF-1 increased, the Q-value of RF-2 decreased, and the area under the curve increased (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS The same 3 trends found between the measurement sites of the in vitro study and FEA indicated that RFA may be useful for detecting an FPD with loosening caused by cement loss, even partial cement loss.

Clin Oral Implants Res 2024; 35:1-20. [PMID: 37840388 DOI: 10.1111/clr.14195] [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: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The radiographic examination of alveolar bone using 3D radiographic examination is essential in dental implant treatment planning. Our study aimed to systematically review and quantitatively analyze the correlation between alveolar bone parameters, specifically bone density and cortical bone thickness, assessed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and/or multidetector computed tomography (MDCT); and primary implant stability (PIS) determined using implant stability quotient (ISQ), Periotest® value (PTV), and insertion torque value (ITV). METHODS This review was registered in the PROSPERO database (registration number CRD42022307245). An electronic literature search was conducted on the PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases for papers published until February 2022. The Quality Assessment in Prognostic Studies (QUIPS) tool was used to assess risk of bias. Meta-analyses were conducted to calculate the estimated average correlation coefficient based on a multilevel random-effects model, followed by subgroup analysis. RESULTS Twenty-six studies were included in this review, consisting of 17 prospective cohort studies, eight retrospective cohort studies, and one nonrandomized controlled trial. A total of 3109 implants placed in 1171 subjects were analyzed. Twenty-three studies were evaluated using meta-analysis. The alveolar bone condition was significantly correlated with ISQ (r = 0.60; p < .001), IT (r = 0.52; p < .001), and PTV (r = -0.42; p < .05). CONCLUSION Alveolar bone condition is significantly associated with PIS. Low bone density and thin cortical bone can lead to low PIS; therefore, modification of treatment planning and surgical procedures might be needed to avoid poor osseointegration.

JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101545. [PMID: 37390904 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present study aims to assess and compare the clinical outcomes of immediate implant placement in the mandibular molar region with or without the presence of chronic periapical periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Employing a case-control design, this study encompassed a cohort of patients necessitating implant surgery to supplant a single, failed mandibular molar. Participants exhibiting periapical lesions measuring between > 4 mm and < 8 mm were assigned to the test group, while those without periapical lesions to the control group. Subsequent to flap surgery and tooth extraction, extraction sockets were debrided thoroughly, and implants were immediately implanted (baseline). Permanent restorative procedures were carried out three months post-operation, with follow-up conducted one year post-surgery. During the study period, parameters including implant survival rate, Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) data, implant stability quotient (ISQ), insertional torque values (ITV), and potential complications were closely monitored. RESULTS Throughout the yearlong observation period subsequent to implant placement, both groups exhibited a 100% implant survival rate. None of the participants experienced any complications. Both groups demonstrated significant decreases in the height and width of the alveolar bone (P < 0.05). However, there were no statistically discernible differences between corresponding areas in the two groups (P > 0.05). The differences in ITV between the test group (37.94 ± 2.12 N•cm) and the control group (38.55 ± 2.71 N•cm) were not statistically significant at baseline (P > 0.05). A significant rise in ISQ was noted within the same group between baseline and three months post-operation (P < 0.05), while no significant variations in ISQ changes were noted between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Given the constraints of this investigation, the preliminary clinical outcomes of immediate implant placement in the mandibular molar region with chronic periapical periodontitis do not significantly differ from those observed in instances devoid of chronic periapical periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The significance on the association between the peri-implant bucco-lingual dimension (BLD) at the stage of implant placement and the occurrence of biological and esthetic complications is yet unknown. MATERIAL AND METHODS Systematic screening of electronic sources was carried out to identify clinical and preclinical studies reporting on the baseline BLD and/or buccal bone thickness (BBT) values. A secondary objective was to assess the effect of simultaneous grafting at sites with deficient or no buccal bone wall (BBW) at baseline. The primary outcome variables were BBT, BLD, and buccal vertical bone loss (VBL) at re-evaluation. Moreover, radiographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 12 clinical and four preclinical studies met the inclusion criteria. Inconsistencies were found in defining the critical BBT across the clinical and preclinical data evaluated. The clinical evidence demonstrated that during healing, dimensional changes occur in the alveolar bone and in the BBW that may compromise the integrity of the peri-implant bone, leading to VBL and mucosal recession (MR), particularly in scenarios exhibiting a thin BBW. The preclinical evidence validated the fact that implants placed in the presence of a thin BBW, are more prone to exhibit major dimensional changes and VBL. Moreover, the clinical data supported that, in scenarios where dehiscence-type defects occur and are left for spontaneous healing, greater VBL and MR together with the occurrence of biologic complications are expected. Furthermore, the augmentation of dehiscence-type defects is associated with hard and soft tissue stability. PROMs were not reported. CONCLUSIONS Dimensional changes occur as result of implant placement in healed ridges that may lead to instability of the peri-implant hard and soft tissues. Sites presenting a thin BBW are more prone to exhibit major changes that may compromise the integrity of the buccal bone and may lead to biologic and esthetic complications.

Abstract
Background Short implants have been proposed as an alternative solution for the rehabilitation of atrophic posterior region. Purpose To compare the clinical outcomes between 6 mm short implants and conventional implants placed under similar conditions of bone quality and occlusal loading. Materials and Methods Nine patients received atone 6 mm implant and one standard-length (8 mm length or longer) implants in a total of 10 partially edentulous areas. Implants were left submerged for 3-6 months healing period and the screw-retained splinted prostheses were delivered. When the provisional or final restoration was placed, and at each year after loading, standardized intraoral radiograph was taken for themarginal bone level (MBL) changes around the implants. Subsequently, the patients were recalled for the clinical examination evaluating the implant survival, sulcus bleeding index, suppuration, and the incidence of prosthetic complications at every 6 months after the definitive crown delivery. The observation period was continued to 3 years (mean follow-up was 3.4 ± 0.3 years) after functional loading. Results Nine patients (10 short implants and 10 standard length implants) were selected in this study. Cumulative survival rates of the short implants and standard-length implants were 100% in both groups, and no biological and prosthetic complication were found in 3 years observation period. Cortical bone thickness of implant insertion sites was 1.39 ± 0.45 mm at short implants and 1.38 ± 0.69 mm at standard-length implants, and trabecular bone computed tomography values of implant insertion sites was 424.1 ± 290.1 at short implants and 410.9 ± 267.9 at standard-length implants. The MBL changes were -0.30 ± 0.71 mm at short implants and -0.19 ± 0.78 mm at standard-length implants at 3 years follow-up visit. No significant difference was found in the average of MBL changes between implant length. Conclusions Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that 6 mm short implants in a posterior edentulous region showed excellent results compared with conventional implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a synthetic material with many favorable characteristics; PEEK implants are increasingly used for a variety of applications ranging from cranioplasty to orthopedic surgery and facial implants. METHODS This study is a retrospective review of patients who underwent PEEK implant placement in our department over the last 5 years. Polyetheretherketone computer-aided design and manufacture facial implants were designed from high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scans of each patient. The implants placed were onlay implants used for facial rehabilitation purposes to correct malformative and posttraumatic malformations. RESULTS Twenty-eight consecutive patients (11 males and 17 females) underwent PEEK implant positioning between January 2015 and December 2020. Common indications were anterior plagiocephaly, hemifacial microsomia, and residual facial imbalance after orthognathic surgery. No complications of implant breakdown, exposure, infection, or displacement were noticed during the follow-up period. During routine controls on 3 patients, we requested a craniomaxillofacial CT scan for reasons unrelated to the implanted prostheses. The CT scans were all high resolution (<1-mm slices). The CT images indicated that bone was starting to form around the implant in all 3 patients as well as in the penetrating holes that were planned in the implants. CONCLUSIONS In our experience, computer-designed, patient-specific PEEK onlay implants are a valid option for the treatment of malformative and posttraumatic malformations. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first clinical report on bone reaction to PEEK implantation in the maxillofacial field. Moreover, based on the signs of bone regrowth that we observed in CT controls we can presume that the design of this type of prosthesis can probably take advantage of some technical stratagems not yet codified and fully exploited. Despite our preliminary favorable results, further multicentric and comparative studies are necessary to evaluate outcomes and better understand the behavior of this promising material and thus optimize its use in craniomaxillofacial surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the associations between the cortical bone-to-implant contact (CBIC), bone microstructure derived from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and the primary stability of the implant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two patients with 65 implants were enrolled in this study. The peak insertion torque values (ITVs) were measured during implant insertion, and the implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were measured immediately after implant placement and 3 months after surgery. The profiles of the peri-implant bone structure were outlined using the volumetric reconstruction of the CBCTs and superimposition of the virtual models, and the features of CBIC and bone microstructure parameters were measured. The linear mixed effects model and generalized estimating equation were used to explore the predictors for implant primary stability. RESULTS The average ITV, baseline, and secondary ISQ values were 31.44 ± 6.54 N·cm, 73.34 ± 7.39, and 80.32 ± 4.58, respectively. Statistically significant correlations were found between ITV and surface area of CBIC (r = .340, p = .006), bone volume fraction (r = .294, p = .017), and bone surface fraction (r = -.278, p = .039). Implants with buccolingual CBIC had a higher ITV than implants without CBIC (p = .016). None of the parameters were associated with baseline and secondary ISQ values in generalized estimating equation analysis (all p > .05). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of the study, preoperative CBCT measurements might enable the prediction of ITV and therefore of implant primary stability values.

Abstract
The trending protocol in implantology aims at integrating the esthetic on par with function while reducing discomfort and treatment time with optimal results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pink esthetic score in sites treated by graftless instant implantation that was boosted by instant provisionalization with a 2 to 3 mm jumping distance. Thirty-five implants were inserted in the extraction sockets of teeth of 29 healthy qualified patients (22 females and 7 males) with an age range of 23 to 60 years [mean±SD age 41.11±9.9 y). Preoperative assessment was complemented clinically and radiographically for each patient. The used system was Medentika dental implant (Germany). Osstell implant stability quotient was used to measure implant stability at the time of surgery (baseline) and at 16 weeks. Four implants in 3 patients failed. The implant survival rate was 88.6%. The protocol of this study produced a significant decrease in the jumping distance which is 2 to 3 mm at cone-beam computed tomography evaluation with satisfactory esthetic outcomes clinically. Further comparative studies with long-term and larger samples are needed to confirm the conclusion of this study.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the topographical, chemical and osseointegration characteristics of sandblasting and acid-etching (SLA) surfaces and dental implants treated by boron compounds. Titanium (Ti) disks (n = 20) were modified using boron (B) and boric acid (H3BO3) and then compared with the conventional SLA surface via surface topographic characterizations. Dental implants (3.5 mm in diameter and 8 mm in length) with the experimental surfaces (n = 96) were inserted into the tibias of six sheep, which were left to heal for 3 and 7 weeks. Histologic, histomorphometric (bone−implant contact (BIC%)) and mechanical tests (removal torque value (RTV)) were performed. The boron-coated surface (BC group) was smoother (Rz: 4.51 μm ± 0.13) than the SLA (5.86 μm ± 0.80) and the SLA-B (5.75 μm ± 0.64) groups (p = 0.033). After 3 weeks, the highest mean RTV was found in the SLA group (37 N/cm ± 2.87), and the difference compared with the BC group (30 N/cm ± 2.60) was statistically significant (p = 0.004). After 7 weeks, the mean RTV was >80 N/cm in all groups; the highest was measured in the H3BO3-treated (BS) group (89 N/cm ± 1.53) (p < 0.0001). No statistically significant differences were found in the BIC%s during both healing periods between the groups. H3BO3 seems to be a promising medium for dental implant osseointegration.

Abstract
Dental surgery implantation has become increasingly important among procedures that aim to rehabilitate edentulous patients to restore esthetics and the mastication ability. The optimal stability of dental implants is correlated primarily to the quality and quantity of bone. This systematic literature review describes clinical research focusing on the correlation between cortical bone thickness and primary/secondary stability of dental fixtures. To predict successful outcome of prosthetic treatment, quantification of bone density at the osteotomy site is, in general, taken into account, with little attention being paid to assessment of the thickness of cortical bone. Nevertheless, local variations in bone structure (including cortical thickness) could explain differences in clinical practice with regard to implantation success, marginal bone resorption or anchorage loss. Current knowledge is preliminarily detailed, while tentatively identifying which inconclusive or unexplored aspects merit further investigation.

Clinical Evaluation of Dental Implants with a Double Acid-Etched Surface Treatment: A Cohort Observational Study with Up to 10-Year Follow-Up. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14216483. [PMID: 34772010 PMCID: PMC8585230 DOI: 10.3390/ma14216483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival and success rates of dental implants with a double acid-etched surface treatment with evaluation times up to 10 years post-loading. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at a hospital oral surgery and implantology unit. It included 111 dental implants with a double acid-etched surface. Three groups were created: Group 1 (1-3 years loading), Group 2 (3-5 years loading), and Group 3 (over 5 years loading). Probing depth, resonance frequency analysis (ISQ value), and marginal bone loss were evaluated. Results: The data obtained underwent statistical analysis. Overall, 78 patients were included in the study, who received, in total, 111 dental implants, all replacing single teeth. Mean probing depth was 3.03 mm and mean ISQ was 65.54. Regarding marginal bone loss, in Group 1, 67.6% of implants did not undergo any thread loss, in Group 2, 48.3%, and in Group 3, 59.6%; 59.10% of all implants did not present thread loss with a mean bone loss of 0.552 mm. The implant survival rate was 99.1%, and the success rate was 96.37%. Conclusions: Implants with a double acid-etched surface showed excellent success rates in terms of marginal bone loss, ISQ, and probing depth after up to 10 years of loading, making them a clinically predictable treatment option. Future studies are needed to compare this implant surface with other types in different restorative situations.

Abstract
In compromised bone conditions such as osteoporosis, developments of the implant surface are necessary to secure the stability of implants. This study investigated the effect of the surface porous titanium structure (PS) on the osseointegration of implants in osteoporotic bone. Bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) was performed in 4 female beagle dogs to induce osteoporosis for 32 wk. Success of induction was based on the evaluation of bone mineral density by Hounsfield units (HU) in computed tomography images. Posterior teeth in both mandibles were extracted 1 wk after OVX, and a total of 30 implants (15 implants in each group) were placed after 32 wk of osteoporosis induction. The control group implant underwent resorbable blast media (RBM) surface treatment, whereas the test group underwent RBM surface treatment in the coronal two-thirds and a PS added to the apical 3-mm portion. HU values in the mandibular trabecular bone, lumbar, and femoral head significantly decreased 32 wk after OVX, confirming osteoporotic condition after induction. Resonance frequency analysis and removal torque test showed comparable values between the 2 groups at 4 wk after implant placement. The surface topography of the implant after removal showed hard tissue integration at the PS in the test group. Bone-to-implant contact length was greater in the apical portion of the test group, although statistical significance was not found between the groups. Interthread bone area in the apical portion of the test group showed a significant increase compared to the control group (control: 0.059 ± 0.041 mm2, test: 0.121 ± 0.060 mm2, P = 0.028) with the histological feature of bone ingrowth at the PS. The findings of the study demonstrated that the surface PS could improve osteoconductivity in the osteoporotic trabecular bone by bone ingrowth at the pore space, thereby enhancing the osseointegration and stability of the implants.

Abstract
The development of treatment strategies for improving secondary stability at the bone-implant interface is a challenge. Porous implants are one solution for improving long-term implant stability, but the osteoconduction process of implants into the bone can be slow. Strain-driven osteogenesis from the mechanostat theory offers insight into pathways for post-operative treatment but mechanisms to deliver strain to the bone-implant interface need refinement. In this work, the use of therapeutic ultrasound is simulated to induce resonance into a porous implant structure. Local strains through the scaffold are measured by varying systemic variables such as damping ratio, applied vibrational force, primary bone-implant stability, and input frequency. At the natural frequency of the system with applied forces of 0.5 N and a damping ratio of 0.5%, roughly half of the nodes in the simulated environment exceed the microstrain threshold of 1000 με required for new bone formation. A high degree of sensitivity was noted upon changing input frequency, with minor sensitivities arising from damping ratio and applied vibrational force. These findings suggest that the application of therapeutic resonance to improve osseointegration of the bone-implant interface may be viable for applications including dental implants or segmental bone defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess primary and secondary stability of variable-thread tapered implants in the posterior maxilla and analyze the impact of various factors on implant stability quotients (ISQs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six subjects received 3-4 adjacent implants in the maxillary premolar-molar sextants to replace bilateral tooth loss. The implants on one side were immediately loaded with a provisional fixed prosthesis regardless of their primary stability. The contralateral control implants were conventionally loaded. Bone quality was subjectively recorded and primary stability was assessed by means of insertion torque values (ITVs) and ISQs in 4 directions. Secondary stability was measured by ISQ at definitive prosthesis delivery (3-3.5 months postoperatively), and 12 months after definitive loading. The impact of measurement direction, loading protocol, time, site-related (bone quality, implant position, crestal buccal bone thickness, apical cortical anchorage), and implant-related (implant dimensions, abutment height) variables on ISQs was assessed. RESULTS For logistic reasons, ISQs were obtained for only 18 patients with 60 test and 60 control implants. Most of the implants (82%) at baseline had their lowest ISQ on the buccal aspect. There were no significant differences between ISQs measured in the buccal and palatal directions, or between ISQs in the mesial and distal directions. The mean of buccal and palatal ISQs was significantly lower than the mean of the 2 interproximal measurements at all evaluation periods. ISQs were not significantly different between the 2 loading groups at any time point. All implants showed a time-dependent increase in ISQs. Baseline ISQ correlated weakly with bone quality and ITV. None of the variables had a significant impact on baseline ISQs, except for implants in second molar sites which showed poorer primary stability than first premolars. CONCLUSION Measurement direction and time are the most significant parameters affecting ISQs of variable-thread tapered implants in the posterior maxilla.
