Abstract
OBJECTIVES The recently introduced Implant Disease Risk Assessment (IDRA) identifies a restoration margin-alveolar bone crest (RM-AC) distance of less than 1.5 mm as a key risk factor for peri‑implant disease among eight major risk factors. This study evaluated the impact of the RM-AC distance on marginal bone loss (MBL) through radiographic analysis. METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional study included 77 partially edentulous patients (39 females and 38 males, aged 22 to 76 years) with 202 platform-switched conical connection implants, cement-retained, implant-supported fixed restorations, and bone-level implants placed between 2016 and 2021. Dental implants were followed for least 6 to 36 months at follow up functional loading. Study participants were categorized into Group A (RM-AC distance ≤ 1.5 mm, n = 69) and Group B (RM-AC distance > 1.5 mm, n = 133). Twelve patients in Group B and five patients in Group A had no history of periodontal disease. The MBL was measured radiographically from the most coronal point of the implant shoulder to the alveolar bone, and the RM-AC distance was measured from the restoration margin to the alveolar crest. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used for statistical evaluation. RESULTS The incidence of MBL in Group A was statistically significant and 3.42 times higher than that in Group B. The rate of MBL in periodontitis Stage 4 was found to be 26.31 times higher than that in periodontitis Stage 2. The incidence of MBL was 6.097 and 5.02 times higher with increasing implant diameter and length, respectively. CONCLUSION This study conclusively demonstrates that RM-AC distance ≤ 1.5 significantly increases the risk of MBL, particularly in patients with a history of periodontal disease. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study highlights the critical role of maintaining an RM-AC distance greater than 1.5 mm in the prevention of MBL, particularly in patients with a history of periodontal disease. Since implant diameter and length have a significant impact on the risk of MBL, it emphasizes that implant demographics should also be carefully evaluated.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of the existence of an abutment screw-access hole and the filling effects on the fatigue mechanical behavior of a luted lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic. Seventy-two discs (Ø = 10 mm, 1.0 mm in thickness) of lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar AG) were obtained from prefabricated blocks. Thirty-six abutment specimens of an opaque zirconia (Yz - IPS e.max ZirCAD, Ivoclar AG) and titanium (Ti - Luminesse Ti-Cam discs, Talladium Inc.) were confectioned, and allocated according to 6 groups: Yz and Ti rigid (without screw access hole); Yz unfilled, Yz filled, Ti unfilled and Ti filled (with the screw access (Ø = 2.5 mm) in the center). For the unfilled groups, only a polytetrafluoroethylene tape was used. Resin composite (Tetric N-Ceram, Ivoclar AG) was applied to the screw access hole for the filled groups (Yz and Ti). A cyclic fatigue test was carried out (load of 200 N, 10,000 cycles each; 20 Hz of frequency, step size of 100 N until failure detection (radial/cone crack). The fatigue failure load (FFL) and number of cycles until failure (CFF) were recorded for statistical purposes. The stress distribution (MPa) was evaluated by finite element analysis. A statistically positive effect of the abutment material and the presence of the screw access hole was observed (p ≤ 0.05). The rigid groups (without screw access holes) depicted almost 100% of survival after the fatigue tests. Among the other groups, the Yz-filled group showed the best performance (p ≤ 0.05), followed by the Yz unfilled group. The Ti groups depicted lower values of FFL and CFF, with the Ti unfilled group showing the most unfavorable fatigue behavior (p ≤ 0.05). The lowest tensile stress concentration in the restorative material was observed with the use of rigid abutments, the filled groups depicted intermediate values, while unfilled groups showed the highest stress concentration (Yz rigid = 306.3 MPa; Ti rigid = 310.4 MPa < Yz filled = 490.7 MPa; Ti filled = 498.9 MPa < Yz unfilled = 707.6 MPa; Ti unfilled = 719.7 MPa). Therefore, the presence of a screw-access hole decreases the mechanical performance of a lithium disilicate ceramic regardless of the abutment material. In the presence of a screw-access hole, zirconia abutments depicted a higher fatigue failure load when compared with titanium. The filling of the abutment screw-access hole with resin composite increased the mechanical performance of the simulated restoration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ameloblastoma (AM), the benign counterpart of ameloblastic carcinoma, is a benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin, naturally aggressive, with unlimited growth potential and a high tendency to relapse if not adequately removed. Patients with AM treated surgically can benefit from dental implant therapy, promoting oral rehabilitation and improving their quality of life. The present study aimed to determine the survival rate of dental implants placed after surgical treatment of patients affected by AM. In addition, there were two secondary objectives: 1) To evaluate which dental implant loading protocols are most frequently used and 2) To determine the type of prosthetic restoration most commonly used in these patients. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were followed during the study. Searches were performed in three databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar) until November 2023. Additionally, the electronic search was enriched by an iterative hand search of journals related to oral pathology and medicine, maxillofacial surgery, and oral prosthodontics and implantology. Only reports and case series in English from January 2003 to date were included. The Joanna Briggs Institute tool (JBI-Case Reports/Case Series) was used for the study quality assessment. RESULTS The total number of patients and implants studied were 64 and 271, respectively, all with surgically treated AM. The patient's ages ranged from 8 to 79 years, with a mean (SD) age of 37.3 ± 16.4. Fifty-three percent were male and 47% were female. The range of follow-up duration was 1 to 22 years. An implant survival/success rate of 98.1% was reported. In addition, most of them were conventionally loaded (38.3%). Hybrid implant-supported fixed dentures were the most commonly used by prosthodontists (53%). CONCLUSIONS Oral rehabilitation with dental implants inserted in free flaps for orofacial reconstruction in surgically treated patients with AM can be considered a safe and successful treatment modality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical curative effect after 5-year follow-up of single tooth implant-supported restorations in the posterior region. METHODS In the study, patients with single tooth implant-supported restorations in the posterior region after loading 5-year in the Second Clinical Division of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from October 2005 to May 2010 was enrolled. The implant survival rate, prosthetic conditions (including the structural integrity or loosening of the prosthesis, the retention of the materials used to fill access holes of screw-retained implant crowns, loosening or fractures of the implant abutment or screw) and marginal bone lever level around implants were determined by clinical and radiographic examination. RESULTS The study was composed of 215 patients, the mean age was 48.6 years (range: 27 to 71), and 321 soft tissue implants were inserted. There were 9 implants loose and lost during the visit, the cumulative success rate was 97.2%. In the 312 remaining implants, 120 implants were placed in the upper jaws (38.5%) and 192 in the lower jaws (61.5%). Three different diameters as 3.3 mm (5 implants), 4.1 mm (115 implants) and 4.8 mm (192 implants) and three different lengths as 8 mm (21 implants), 10 mm (206 implants) and 12 mm (85 implants) were used, respectively. 277 (88.8%) cement-retained and 35 (11.2%) screw-retained implant-supported single crowns were made. The marginal bone loss (MBL) around dental implants after loading 5 years in the mesial and distal sides were (0.73±0.25) mm and (0.78±0.26) mm, respectively. There was no significant difference among MBL and bone quality, implant type, angle of abutment, prosthodontic type, crown-to-implant ratio, gender, and age of the patients (P > 0.05). The major mechanical complications after restoration involved loosening (8.6%) and fracture (2.9%) of the crown retainer screw, loss of resin covering the screw (11.4%), and the most frequent mechanical complications were loss of crown retention (14.1%) and fracture of porcelain (13.8%). The incidence of loss of crown retention was correlated with insufficient clinical crown height or using angle abutment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION After loading 5 years, the bone level around the soft-tissue-implant placed in posterior region was stable. To minimize the frequency of mechanical complications after restoration, protocols must be established from diagnosis to the completion of treatment and follow up of implant-supported prostheses, especially in terms of adequate technical steps and careful radiographic evaluation of the components.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the effect of rehabilitation with complete dentures versus implant-retained overdenture on activity in various parts of the brain cognition in a geriatric edentulous population via Functional MRI (fMRI) studies and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). METHODS Ten completely edentulous patients were rehabilitated with both complete dentures and two-implant retained overdentures for three months each. fMRI studies were performed for each modality during chewing and recall tasks at three time periods: T0: Completely Edentulous(CE) T1: after three months of wearing Conventional Complete Dentures(CD) and T2: after three months of wearing Implant-retained Overdentures (IOD). The Z scores obtained from the fMRI at these phases of examination were tabulated and correlated with MMSE scores obtained at the corresponding time periods. RESULTS Z scores obtained during the memory recall tasks at T2 were the greatest (Prefrontal Cortex (p=0.059) and Hippocampus (p=0.036). The MMSE scores obtained were significantly higher for the IODs when compared to the CDs and Baseline values (p < 0.05)Conclusion: IODs may potentially result in superior sensory feedback in edentulous patients and lead to improved cognitive performance when compared to conventional complete dentures.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of overdenture (OD) attachment type and the number of implants supporting mandibular ODs on peri-implant health. STUDY SELECTION From inception to October 2020, electronic databases (Medline/PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) were systematically searched. The outcomes of interest were marginal bone loss (MBL), pocket probing depth (PPD), plaque index, bleeding index, and implant survival rate. Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed using the GeMTC package supported by R. The weighted mean difference and 95% credible interval were estimated. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies with a total of 1166 participants who received 2666 dental implants were included. Except for 4 bar and 4 telescopic, which showed a statistically lower MBL than the 2 locator, all other interventions showed insignificant differences in MBL (P > 0.05). The difference in periodontal probing depth was not statistically significant when comparing the different groups. The pooled implant survival rates of the different interventions ranged from 88.9% to 100%. The rank probability test showed that 4 bar and 4 telescopic had the lowest MBL, 2 magnet and 2 bar had the highest PI, whereas 4 locator showed the least PPD. CONCLUSIONS Except for 4 implants+bar, or telescopic, and 4 locator that, respectively, showed less MBL and PPD compared to some interventions, it seemed that different attachment types and number of implants supporting mandibular ODs have no clear superiority over the other in terms of peri-implant health outcomes.

Abstract
The study was aimed to investigate the prosthetic screw loosening of two splinted implants-supported, screw-retained (2-4-unit) fixed dental prostheses (TIS-FDPs) in posterior region and to explore the underlying mechanism. In the retrospective study, a study group of TIS-FDPs (n = 23) presenting prosthetic screw loosening and a control group of TIS-FDPs (n = 32) absent of prosthetic screw loosening during observation period were included. The prosthesis height (PH), inter-implant distance (ID) and cantilever distance (CD) of TIS-FDPs were measured and compared within two groups. In the finite element analysis (FEA) part, three serials of models presenting different clinical scenarios were constructed based on the abovementioned PH, ID and CD values respectively. In the clinical evaluation, the values of pH and CD in study group were statistically higher than those in control group, whereas the values of ID had no significant difference. In the FEA, the results indicated that there was no linear correlation between the increased ID values and the maximum von Mises stresses and the rotation angles. On the other hand, the increased PH and CD values would result in a strong linear growth of the maximum von Mises stresses and the rotation angles. Besides, it was found that the regression coefficients in PH model were all higher than those in ID and CD models. When TIS-FDPs were delivered in posterior region, the PH and the CD, rather than the ID, seemed to have a significant impact on the stress concentration of the prosthetic screws and the incident of prosthetic screws loosening.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present in silico study evaluated the behavior of titanium dental implants associated with abutments in zirconia and monotype zirconia implant using finite element analysis (FEA). METHODS A partial image of the anterior region of the maxilla was obtained by computed tomography. Three models of finite element were made using 3D modeling software (SolidWorks): Ti-Ti (control): implant morse cone (3.75 x 11mm; NobelActive) and titanium abutment (Esthetic Abutment); Ti-Zr: cone morse implant in titanium (3.75 x 11mm; NobelActive) and zirconia abutment (Procera Esthetic Abutment #9); Zr: monotype zirconia implant (4.1 x 12mm; Straumann Pure Ceramic). Computerized crowns of element 11 in lithium disilicate (IPS e.max Press, Ivoclar Vivadent) cemented in all groups were created. A load of 100N (45º) was applied simulating the excursion movement of the incisal guide. The von Mises, modified von Mises, maximum (tensile) and minimum (compression) principal stresses were obtained, compared and used for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the groups. RESULTS The Zr presented the lowest values of maximum, minimum, and von Mises tensions than the two pieces systems (Ti-Ti and Ti-Zr). Ti-Zr group had the highest values of tensions evaluated in this study. CONCLUSIONS The type of material as well as the geometry of implant influenc ed the tension values evaluated.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate and compare the marginal bone loss (MBL) around implants of fixed (FISP) versus removable implant-supported prosthesis (RISP). Material and methods This review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. A systematic search of the literature on Web of Science and Ovid (MEDLINE) was conducted in March 2019 to identify randomized controlled trials/quasi-randomized trials, prospective and retrospective studies written in German and English. Two reviewers screened the identified papers for eligibility and performed an independent data extraction. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the level of evidence of the included studies. Results The search resulted in 2577 studies, of which 42 were selected for full-text evaluation. Finally, six studies were included in qualitative analyses, reporting results from 248 participants (81 FISP versus 167 RISP). Five of the included studies were prospective and one study was retrospective. MBL was highest in the first year after implant placement and ranged from 0.17 ± 0.07 mm to 2.1 ± 1.6 mm in FISP and from 0.22 ± 0.55 mm to 2.5 ± 2.7 mm in RISP. After 4 years, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups; MBL ranged from 0.36 ± 0.22 mm to 1.5 mm in FISP and 0.56 ± 0.45 mm to 1.4 mm in RISP. Of the six included studies, two each were rated as good quality, fair quality, and poor quality. Conclusion Fixed and removable implant-supported prostheses seem to have similar long-term outcomes regarding marginal bone loss. However, the evidence provided in this systematic review is limited due to the poor quality of two of the included studies. Future studies with study designs specified to the topic of this review are necessary to provide clear information about marginal bone level alterations in modern implant therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate simulated localized and generalized wear of indirect composite resins used for implant supported provisional restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study investigated ten indirect composite resins. Two kinds of wear were simulated by 400,000 cycles in a Leinfelder-Suzuki (Alabama) machine. Localized wear was simulated with a stainless-steel ball bearing antagonist and generalized with a flat-ended stainless-steel cylinder antagonist. The tests were carried out in water slurry of polymethyl methacrylate beads. Wear was measured using a Proscan 2100 noncontact profilometer in conjunction with Proscan and AnSur 3D software. RESULTS Both localized and generalized wear were significantly different (P<.05) among the indirect composite resins. SR Nexco and Gradia Plus showed significantly less wear than the other indirect composite resins. The rank order of wear was same in both types of wear simulation. CONCLUSION Indirect composite resins are recommended when a provisional implant-supported restoration is required to function in place over a long period. Although only some indirect composite resins showed similar wear resistance to CAD/CAM composite resins, the wear resistance of all the indirect composite resins was higher than that of bis-acryl base provisional and polymethyl methacrylate resins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the survival rate of abutments, marginal bone loss and peri-implant soft tissue discoloration among implant-supported single crowns with different abutment materials. DATA Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials, and cohort studies of implant-supported single crowns with different dental abutment materials. SOURCES A systematic search was conducted by an electronic search in 6 databases without restrictions on September 16, 2018, complemented by a manual search. "Grey" literatures were also searched. STUDY SELECTION Of 3417 studies initially retrieved, thirteen were eligible for inclusion. After studies selected and data extraction, pair-wise and network meta-analyses were performed to analyze the survival rate of the abutment, the marginal bone loss and the soft tissue discoloration. The risk of bias was assessed based on the Cochrane guidelines, Newcastle-Ottawa scale, and funnel plots. Statistical heterogeneity, inconsistencies, and cumulative ranking were also evaluated. RESULTS Fourteen RCTs and nine non-RCTs were included. No significant differences was detected among titanium (Ti), zirconia (Zr), gold (Au), and alumina (Al) abutments in terms of survival rate (excluding Al < Ti (P < 0.05), marginal bone loss (excluding Zr < Ti (P < 0.05) and Au > Zr (P < 0.05)), or discoloration of peri-implant soft tissue. Additionally, Ti abutment had the highest cumulative ranking of survival rate (97.9%); Al abutment had the lowest marginal bone loss (81.4%) and Zr abutment had the least discoloration of peri-implant soft tissue (84.8%). CONCLUSIONS Ti abutment has a comparable survival rate with Zr, but better than Al. In addition, Zr abutment has a better effect in maintaining the marginal bone level, compared with Au and Ti. However, there was no difference in the discoloration of peri-implant soft tissue among Au, Ti, and Zr abutment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Based on the results of our network meta-analysis, Zr might be a recommended abutment material considering the clinical efficacy of implant-supported single crowns.

Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this investigation is to study prosthodontics and internal components resistance to the masticatory stress and considering different force directions by using Finite Element Method analysis (FEM). The structural materials of the components are usually Titanium alloy grade 4 or 5 and thus, guarantee the integration of the fixture in the bone due to the osteointegration phenomena. Even if the long-term dental implant survival rate is easy to be obtained and confirmed by numerous researches, the related clinical success, due to the alteration of the mechanical and prosthodontics components is still controversial. Methods: By applying engineering systems of investigations like FEM and Von Mises analyses, it has been investigated how dental implant material was held against the masticatory strength during the dynamic masticatory cycles. A three-dimensional system involved fixture, abutment and the connection screws, which were created and analyzed. The elastic features of the materials used in the study were taken from recent literature data. Results: Data revealed a different response for both types of devices, although implant neck and dental abutment showed better results for all conditions of loading while the abutment screw represented aweak point of the system. Conclusion: The data of this virtual model showed all the features of different prosthetic retention systems under the masticatory load. Clinicians should find better prosthetic balance in order to better distribute the stress over the component and to guarantee patients’ clinical long-term results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The continuous development in dental processing ensures new opportunities in the field of fixed prosthodontics in a complete virtual environment without any physical model situations. The aim was to compare fully digitalized workflows to conventional and/or mixed analog-digital workflows for the treatment with tooth-borne or implant-supported fixed reconstructions. METHODS A PICO strategy was executed using an electronic (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar) plus manual search up to 2016-09-16 focusing on RCTs investigating complete digital workflows in fixed prosthodontics with regard to economics or esthetics or patient-centered outcomes with or without follow-up or survival/success rate analysis as well as complication assessment of at least 1 year under function. The search strategy was assembled from MeSH-Terms and unspecific free-text words: {(("Dental Prosthesis" [MeSH]) OR ("Crowns" [MeSH]) OR ("Dental Prosthesis, Implant-Supported" [MeSH])) OR ((crown) OR (fixed dental prosthesis) OR (fixed reconstruction) OR (dental bridge) OR (implant crown) OR (implant prosthesis) OR (implant restoration) OR (implant reconstruction))} AND {("Computer-Aided Design" [MeSH]) OR ((digital workflow) OR (digital technology) OR (computerized dentistry) OR (intraoral scan) OR (digital impression) OR (scanbody) OR (virtual design) OR (digital design) OR (cad/cam) OR (rapid prototyping) OR (monolithic) OR (full-contour))} AND {("Dental Technology" [MeSH) OR ((conventional workflow) OR (lost-wax-technique) OR (porcelain-fused-to-metal) OR (PFM) OR (implant impression) OR (hand-layering) OR (veneering) OR (framework))} AND {(("Study, Feasibility" [MeSH]) OR ("Survival" [MeSH]) OR ("Success" [MeSH]) OR ("Economics" [MeSH]) OR ("Costs, Cost Analysis" [MeSH]) OR ("Esthetics, Dental" [MeSH]) OR ("Patient Satisfaction" [MeSH])) OR ((feasibility) OR (efficiency) OR (patient-centered outcome))}. Assessment of risk of bias in selected studies was done at a 'trial level' including random sequence generation, allocation concealment, blinding, completeness of outcome data, selective reporting, and other bias using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. A judgment of risk of bias was assigned if one or more key domains had a high or unclear risk of bias. An official registration of the systematic review was not performed. RESULTS The systematic search identified 67 titles, 32 abstracts thereof were screened, and subsequently, three full-texts included for data extraction. Analysed RCTs were heterogeneous without follow-up. One study demonstrated that fully digitally produced dental crowns revealed the feasibility of the process itself; however, the marginal precision was lower for lithium disilicate (LS2) restorations (113.8 μm) compared to conventional metal-ceramic (92.4 μm) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) crowns (68.5 μm) (p < 0.05). Another study showed that leucite-reinforced glass ceramic crowns were esthetically favoured by the patients (8/2 crowns) and clinicians (7/3 crowns) (p < 0.05). The third study investigated implant crowns. The complete digital workflow was more than twofold faster (75.3 min) in comparison to the mixed analog-digital workflow (156.6 min) (p < 0.05). No RCTs could be found investigating multi-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDP). CONCLUSIONS The number of RCTs testing complete digital workflows in fixed prosthodontics is low. Scientifically proven recommendations for clinical routine cannot be given at this time. Research with high-quality trials seems to be slower than the industrial progress of available digital applications. Future research with well-designed RCTs including follow-up observation is compellingly necessary in the field of complete digital processing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate stress distribution in the fixation screws and bone tissue around implants in single-implant supported prostheses with crowns of different heights (10, 12.5, 15 mm - crown-to-implant ratio 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, respectively). It was designed using three 3-D models. Each model was developed with a mandibular segment of bone block including an internal hexagon implant supporting a screw-retained, single metal-ceramic crown. The crown height was set at 10, 12.5, and 15 mm with crown-to-implant ratio of 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, respectively. The applied forces were 200N (axial) and 100 N (oblique). The increase of crown height showed differences with the oblique load in some situations. By von Mises' criterion, a high stress area was concentrated at the implant/fixation screw and abutment/implant interfaces at crown-to-implant ratio of 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, respectively. Using the maximum principal criteria, the buccal regions showed higher traction stress intensity, whereas the distal regions showed the largest compressive stress in all models. The increase of C/I ratio must be carefully evaluated by the dentist since the increase of this C/I ratio is proportional to the increase of average stress for both screw fixation (C/I 1:1 to 1:1.25 ratio=30.1% and C/I 1:1 to 1:1.5 ratio=46.3%) and bone tissue (C/I 1:1 to 1:1.25 ratio=30% and C/I 1:1 to 1:1.5 ratio=51.5%).
