Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this case series was to demonstrate the use of a magnesium membrane for repairing the perforated membrane in both direct and indirect approaches, as well as its application in instances where there has been a tear of the Schneiderian membrane. CASE PRESENTATION The case series included four individual cases, each demonstrating the application of a magnesium membrane followed by bone augmentation using a mixture of xenograft and allograft material in the sinus cavity. In the first three cases, rupture of Schneiderian membrane occurred as a result of tooth extraction, positioning of the dental implant, or as a complication during the procedure. In the fourth case, Schneiderian membrane was perforated as a result of the need to aspirate a polyp in the maxillary sinus. In case one, 10 mm of newly formed bone is visible four months after graft placement. Other cases showed between 15 and 20 mm of newly formed alveolar bone. No residual magnesium membrane was seen on clinical inspection. The vertical and horizontal augmentations proved stable and the dental implants were placed in the previously grafted sites. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this case series, postoperative clinical examination, and panoramic and CBCT images demonstrated that resorbable magnesium membrane is a viable material for sinus lift and Schneiderian membrane repair. The case series showed successful healing and formation of new alveolar bone with separation of the oral cavity and maxillary sinus in four patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This retrospective case series aimed to evaluate the short-term clinical advantages and limitations of full-arch implant-supported restorations made of monolithic zirconia suprastructures passively luted to titanium bar infrastructures and to report the rate of complications within a minimum of 1-year follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 31 patients (19 men and 12 women) requiring full-arch implant-supported prostheses in the upper or lower jaw. The patients were treated using an entirely digital approach from implant planning and guided implant placement to prosthetic construction planning, design, and fabrication. Full-arch implant-supported monolithic zirconia suprastructures luted to prism-shaped titanium bars were used in all the cases. All the restorations were evaluated for biological and technical complications during fixed control appointments. RESULTS No implant failures or serviceable prosthetic complications were reported, and the prosthetic survival rate was 100%, with a follow-up duration ranging from 12 months to 20 months. In two cases, a fracture line was observed in the zirconia suprastructures, although it did not require any intervention. CONCLUSIONS After a 16-month mean follow-up period, the monolithic zirconia implant-supported full-arch fixed dental prostheses demonstrated no biological or technical complications. Further clinical studies with long-term results are required to confirm these reported outcomes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE CAD-/CAM-milled monolithic zirconia structures passively luted to titanium bar infrastructures are a viable treatment option for full-arch restorations over implants, demonstrating 100% survival and success rates in the present study. The outcomes of this short-term retrospective study indicated high success in function, aesthetics, phonetics, and the ability to maintain flawless hygiene. However, the long-term results of restorations produced using the proposed technique should be considered before recommending this approach for routine clinical use.

Abstract
An ideal fixation system for guided bone (GBR) regeneration in oral surgery must fulfil several criteria that includes the provision of adequate mechanical fixation, complete resorption when no longer needed, complete replacement by bone, as well as be biocompatible and have a good clinical manageability. For the first time, a biodegradable magnesium fixation screw made of the magnesium alloy WZM211 with a MgF2 coating has been designed and tested to fulfill these criteria. Adequate mechanical fixation was shown for the magnesium fixation screw in several benchtop tests that directly compared the magnesium fixation screw with an equivalent polymeric resorbable device. Results demonstrated slightly superior mechanical properties of the magnesium device in comparison to the polymeric device even after 4 weeks of degradation. Biocompatibility of the magnesium fixation screw was demonstrated in several in vitro and in vivo tests. Degradation of the magnesium screw was investigated in in vitro and in vivo tests, where it was found that the screw is resorbed slowly and completely after 52 weeks, providing adequate fixation in the early critical healing phase. Overall, the magnesium fixation screw demonstrates all of the key properties required for an ideal fixation screw of membranes used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) surgeries. The first comprehensive report on experimental data for a biodegradable metallic fixation pin for use in oral surgery is presented. Results demonstrated superior mechanical properties of the Mg fixation pin in comparison to the polymeric pin even after 4 weeks of degradation. The MgF2 coated Mg pin made of alloy WZM211 has a slow corrosion rate with a service time of 4 weeks and is fully resorped at 52 weeks after implantation.

Abstract
For the surgical technique of guided bone regeneration (GBR), the choice of available barrier membranes has until recently not included an option that is mechanically strong, durable, synthetic and resorbable. The most commonly used resorbable membranes are made from collagen, which are restricted in their mechanical strength. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degradation and regeneration potential of a magnesium membrane compared to a collagen membrane. In eighteen beagle dogs, experimental bone defects were filled with bovine xenograft and covered with either a magnesium membrane or collagen membrane. The health status of the animals was regularly monitored and recorded. Following sacrifice, the hemimandibles were prepared for micro-CT (μ-CT) analysis. Complications during healing were observed in both groups, but ultimately, the regenerative outcome was similar between groups. The μ-CT parameters showed comparable results in both groups in terms of new bone formation at all four time points. In addition, the μ-CT analysis showed that the greatest degradation of the magnesium membranes occurred between 1 and 8 weeks and continued until week 16. The proportion of new bone within the defect site was similar for both treatment groups, indicating the potential for the magnesium membrane to be used as a viable alternative to collagen membranes. Overall, the new magnesium membrane is a functional and safe membrane for the treatment of defects according to the principles of GBR.

Abstract
Volume stable barrier membranes made of magnesium are very promising in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) to treat periodontal bone defects in dentistry due to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. During the degradation process the cells are exposed to the alteration of various parameters, so called physical cues, involving surface alterations due to the formed corrosion layer and medium alterations arising from the dissolved corrosion products. Cell migration of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF), as a crucial parameter for optimal healing process in GBR, has been investigated on magnesium membranes and revealed that medium alterations by dissolved corrosion products have a higher impact on cell migration than surface alterations. However, the effect of each altered medium parameter on cell migration has not been adequately studied, but their roles are crucial to explain the slower migration rate on magnesium surfaces compared to titanium and tissue culture plastic surfaces. Our study investigates the single effect of Mg2+, Ca2+, H2 and increased osmolality as well as the effect of magnesium extracts, which contain a dynamic mixture of previous parameters on cell migration, proliferation and viability of HGF. We showed that at 75 mM Mg2+ concentration and at 0 mM Ca2+, respectively, the cell migration rate is greatly reduced. In complex magnesium extract media, we found that a temporarily increased ratio of Mg2+ to Ca2+ conditioned a slow HGF migration rate. Based on these findings and the characterization of supernatants from HGF migration assays on Mg membranes, we propose, that the slower migration rate of HGF can be explained by the altered ratio of Mg2+ to Ca2+, caused by increasing concentrations of Mg2+ and decreasing concentrations of Ca2+ in the vicinity of the corroding Mg implant, combined with a constantly increased molecular hydrogen concentration in the supernatant. These results are cell type specific and should be checked carefully, if necessary, for Mg implant performance. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The study is providing a systematic approach to explain the main effects of extract medium parameters (physical cues) such as magnesium or calcium ion concentration, osmolality and dissolved molecular hydrogen and CO2 in cell culture media modified by co-incubating with corroding magnesium implants on the migration rate of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). This study uncovers for the first time the combinatory effect of slightly increased molecular hydrogen and the change in Mg2+/Ca2+ ratio on HGF cell migration.
