JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2024; 125:101727. [PMID: 38065438 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101727] [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: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Titanium (Ti) implants has been criticized for the tiring wait for osseointegration, often making the patient reconsider implant treatment. Surface treated Ti implants are emerging as a promising solution with superior osseointegration, early loading protocols and shortened period of edentulousness. The aim of this study is to assess the osseointegration of Ti surface coated with novel Cissus quandrangularis Chitosan Hydrogel (CqChH) compared to Commercially pure (Cp) implants. METHODS 24 Cp Ti implants were divided into 2 subgroups (n = 12). The test group consisted of Ti implants surface treated with the novel hydrogel and control group consisted of Cp Ti implants. 3 % CqChH was prepared and was coated on the Ti implants prior to placement in the femur and tibial heads of rabbits. Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) was recorded at the 6th and 12th week. Animals were sacrificed and subjected to Removal Torque Quotient (RTQ). The samples were retrieved en bloc and stained for histopathologic analysis. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis using Unpaired student t-Test. RESULTS At the end of 6th week CqChH coated implants did not show any statistically significant difference in both ISQ and RTQ values compared to Cp ones. However, at the end of the 12th week CqChH coated implants demonstrated significantly higher ISQ (73.91 ± 4.39) and RTQ (75.96 ± 14.10) compared to Cp ones. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that the novel hydrogel coating applied to the implant's surface exhibited not only enhanced bone regeneration but also elicited a new bone formation.

Enhancing bone tissue engineering using iron nanoparticles and magnetic fields: A focus on cytomechanics and angiogenesis in the chicken egg chorioallantoic membrane model. J Indian Prosthodont Soc 2024; 24:175-185. [PMID: 38650343 DOI: 10.4103/jips.jips_440_23] [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: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the potential of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) in conjunction with magnetic fields (MFs) to enhance osteoblast cytomechanics, promote cell homing, bone development activity, and antibacterial capabilities, and to assess their in vivo angiogenic viability using the chicken egg chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Experimental study conducted in a laboratory setting to investigate the effects of FeNPs and MFs on osteoblast cells and angiogenesis using a custom titanium (Ti) substrate coated with FeNPs. MATERIALS AND METHODS A custom titanium (Ti) was coated with FeNPs. Evaluations were conducted to analyze the antibacterial properties, cell adhesion, durability, physical characteristics, and nanoparticle absorption associated with FeNPs. Cell physical characteristics were assessed using protein markers, and microscopy, CAM model, was used to quantify blood vessel formation and morphology to assess the FeNP-coated Ti's angiogenic potential. This in vivo study provided critical insights into tissue response and regenerative properties for biomedical applications. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Statistical analysis was performed using appropriate tests to compare experimental groups and controls. Significance was determined at P < 0.05. RESULTS FeNPs and MFs notably improved osteoblast cell mechanical properties facilitated the growth and formation of new blood vessels and bone tissue and promoted cell migration to targeted sites. In the group treated with FeNPs and exposed to MFs, there was a significant increase in vessel percentage area (76.03%) compared to control groups (58.11%), along with enhanced mineralization and robust antibacterial effects (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The study highlights the promising potential of FeNPs in fostering the growth of new blood vessels, promoting the formation of bone tissue, and facilitating targeted cell migration. These findings underscore the importance of further investigating the mechanical traits of FeNPs, as they could significantly advance the development of effective bone tissue engineering techniques, ultimately enhancing clinical outcomes in the field.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Occlusion is associated with all disciplines of dentistry and plays a major role in the longevity of both implant- and tooth-borne restorations. Achieving occlusal harmony ensures balance is established between the dental and myofascial structures, which can be measurably established to high numerical tolerances with the T-Scan digital occlusal analysis system. PURPOSE To describe and evaluate the known and proven applications of T-Scan digital occlusal analysis in various dental practice disciplines through a systematic review of the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic, English-language PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials database search using the keywords "T-Scan," "TMD," "Occlusion," "Implant Protected Occlusion," and "Orthodontics" was conducted without any date restrictions. The related journal findings were hand searched to determine studies that met the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the present systematic review. RESULTS The PubMed/MEDLINE search identified 423 articles. After removing duplicates, the titles and abstracts of the remaining 421 studies were screened. 274 ineligible articles were excluded, leaving 147 articles. Of those, 33 articles were not in English, 27 full-text articles were not available, 4 were comments and letters to editors, 1 was a review, and 2 described techniques. A total of 86 articles met the eligibility criteria for inclusion. CONCLUSION Much scientific evidence supports the use of T-Scan, as it measures relative occlusal contact forces and the time sequence durations of occlusal contacts objectively, accurately, and repeatedly for improved treatment outcomes. The system's hardware, sensor, and software evolution from T-Scan I to today's T-Scan 10 Novus system has overcome early sensor and system drawbacks to improve the clinical performance of T-Scan in many disciplines of dental medicine.

Complete-arch implant-supported fixed dental prostheses fabricated with PEEK and PEKK framework: a systematic review. Evid Based Dent 2023; 24:193. [PMID: 37674039 DOI: 10.1038/s41432-023-00928-x] [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: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of complete-arch implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) framework in clinical cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS This systematic review followed the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews with the number CRD42023399494. The electronic database PubMed, Cochrane Library and EBSCOhost were assessed for clinical research and reports on complete-arch implant-supported FDPs fabricated with PEEK and PEKK framework. Human studies with a minimum follow-up of 1 year and published in an English language were the only ones included. RESULTS The initial database and hand search provided 564 articles. Finally, 12 articles published between 2018 and 2022 were included in this systematic review. The mean follow-up ranged from 1 year to 6 years. The included studies reported 119 (114 PEEK, 5 PEKK) complete-arch implant-supported FDPs during 1 year follow-up. The cumulative survival rate of prostheses with PEEK as a framework was 97.3%. Prostheses fractures and complications were found with both PEEK and PEKK frameworks. No implant failure reported with both PEEK and PEKK prostheses. CONCLUSION In short-term follow-up, the complete-arch implant-supported FDPs with PEEK as a framework showed a good survival rate and acceptable health of the supporting tissues. The PEEK framework had shown adhesion issues as the most common prosthetic complication. Limited data were available on PEKK as framework material, so further long-term clinical trials are required.

Comparative Evaluation of Implant-Protected Occlusion in Partially Edentulous Fixed Restoration Using Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment - A Prospective Clinical Trial. Indian J Dent Res 2023; 34:396-400. [PMID: 38739819 DOI: 10.4103/ijdr.ijdr_191_23] [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: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare and evaluate the occlusal variability/discrepancy recorded using qualitative (articulating paper) and quantitative (T-scan) techniques in partially edentulous implant-supported restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 patients in the age group of 25-61 yrs participated in this study. All the patients had more than one tooth replaced with implant-supported prosthesis. After three months of restoration, occlusion reevaluated was carried out using qualitative (articulating paper) and quantitative (T-scan). T-scan data were used to measure implant occlusion time, occlusion time, and the relative occlusal force (ROFs) on implant prosthesis. And the data were statistically evaluated. RESULTS The T-scan values showed high points on the implants in most of the patients, which could not be evaluated by that of articulating paper outcomes. CONCLUSION The occlusal harmony achieved from using qualitative analysis of articulating paper was not supported by the finding of the quantitative analysis (T-scan). Also the T-scan provided the time interval of occlusion of the implant-supported restorations, which would help in better defining the implant-protected occlusal. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The T-scan occlusal analysis system provides ROF and time intervals of occlusal contact. This allows accurate occlusal equilibration of implant-supported restoration according to implant protected occlusal concept.

Do antihypertensive medications have an effect on dental implants? A systematic review. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023:10.1007/s10006-023-01167-1. [PMID: 37330427 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-023-01167-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the clinical outcomes of dental implants in users of antihypertensive medication with those of nonusers. METHODS This systematic review followed the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews under the number CRD42022319336. The electronic databases Medline (PubMed) and Central Cochrane were searched for relevant scientific literature published in English through May 2022. The focused question was, "Do patients taking antihypertensive medications have a similar impact on the clinical outcome and survival of dental implants compared with nonusers?". RESULTS A total of 49 articles were found, of which 3 articles were finally selected for a qualitative synthesis. The three studies included 959 patients. In all three studies, the commonly used medication was renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors. Two studies mentioned implant survival rate, which was 99.4% in antihypertensive medication users and 96.1% in the nonusers. One study found a higher implant stability quotient (ISQ) in patients taking antihypertensive medication (75.7 ± 5.9) compared with patients not taking antihypertensive medication (73.7 ± 8.1). CONCLUSIONS The limited available evidence showed that patient taking antihypertensive medications had comparable success rate and implant stability to patients not taking medications. The studies included patients taking different antihypertensive medications, so a drug-specific conclusion regarding the clinical outcome of dental implants is not possible. Further studies are needed, including patients taking certain antihypertensive medications, to determine their effects on dental implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study was done to assess patient satisfaction and crestal bone changes with one-piece and two-piece single implant-retained mandibular overdentures (SIMOs). METHODS The participants included in Group 1 (n=12) received one-piece SIMOs; the participants in Group 2 (n=12) received two-piece SIMOs.Scheduled follow-ups were done at 1 month and 1 year after implant placement. Patient satisfaction and crestal bone changes were evaluated. The data obtained were analyzed statistically with independent Student t-test. RESULTS Visual analogue scale (VAS) score for patient satisfaction with one-piece and two-piece SIMOs were statistically significant at 1-year of follow-up. The patient satisfaction level on the VAS score increased (38.1 to 51.1) with group one-piece SIMOs and two-piece SIMOs (36.6 to 46.8) at baseline to 1 month (P=0.13). The patient satisfaction level increased (38.1 to 56.6) with group one-piece SIMOs and two-piece SIMOs (36.6 to 52.2) at baseline to 1 year (P=0.03). At the 1 year follow-ups, group 1 had mean crestal bone loss of 0.80 ± 0.49 mm and group 2 had 1.24 ± 0.90 mm (P=0.16). Crestal bone loss was greater in the two-piece SIMOs group at 1 month and 1 year follow-ups, but statistically it was insignificant. CONCLUSIONS One-piece SIMOs seemed to be a viable treatment option with increased patient satisfaction on a VAS. Crestal bone loss was greater in the patients with two-piece SIMOs during follow-up. One-piece SIMOs was comparatively simple with less invasive procedures and needed fewer components,so considerable number of patients requiring implant retained dentures could be benefited.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the marginal gap and internal fit of fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated using intraoral vs extraoral scanning methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE/PubMed and the Cochrane database were searched. The focused PICO question was: For the fabrication of FDPs, does an intraoral scanning technique result in a different marginal gap than an extraoral scanning technique? The secondary outcome assessed was internal fit. Studies were selected based on the inclusion criteria, and a meta-analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 14 studies (10 in vitro and 4 in vivo) were included in the meta-analysis. Marginal gap in single crowns was evaluated in 5 studies, copings for single crowns in 5 studies, three-unit FDPs in 3 studies, and both single-crown and three-unit FDPs in 1 study. Significantly lower marginal gap was found with intraoral scanning compared to impression scanning (P < .001) and cast scanning (P < .001), and for impression scanning compared to cast scanning (P = .037). Internal fit was superior with intraoral scanning compared to impression scanning, and this difference was significant (P < .001). No significant differences were found in internal fit with cast scanning compared to intraoral or impression scanning. The mean marginal gap/internal fit was 188.3 μm/146.2 μm with intraoral scanning, 116.29 μm/168.2 μm with impression scanning, and 195.1 μm/229.1 μm with cast scanning. CONCLUSION Marginal gap was lower with intraoral scanning than with impression scanning and cast scanning. Impression scanning showed less marginal gap than cast scanning. Internal fit with intraoral scanning was superior to impression scanning, but when compared to cast scanning, no difference was found.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate the osteogenic potential of Cissus quadrangularis (CQ) hydrogel in enhancing the osseointegration of titanium to the bone in an experimental rabbit model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six adult male New Zealand white rabbits were used in this study. A total of 24 implants (12 coated test implants and 12 uncoated control implants) were placed in these 6 rabbits. A polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel was prepared with the C. quadrangularis hydrogel in which the test implants were coated. Each rabbit was operated on both hind legs and one implant, each, was placed in the femur and tibia. Hence, one rabbit received four implants [two test implants (HG coated) and two control implants (uncoated)]. The animals were sacrificed after 4 weeks, and the specimens were histomorphometrically analyzed. The bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and the bone area fraction occupancy (BAFO) were calculated using Image J analysis. RESULTS The statistically analyzed values which were obtained by paired t-test, revealed that the average mean values were higher in the test implants (coated) than the control implants (uncoated). The BIC values of the test implants were not significantly different from the control implants in the case of both femur and tibia (p >0.05). The test implants showed significantly increased BAFO values in femur (p <0.05). However, the BAFO values of test implants in tibia did not vary significantly from the control implants. CONCLUSION Based on the findings of the study, the authors conclude that the coating of C. quadrangularis hydrogel enhances the osseointegration of titanium implants to bone. The further studies need to be designed to check the osseointegrative potential of C. quadrangularis. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The findings of this study suggest that the C. quadrangularis hydrogel is a potent osteogenic material that can reduce the osseointegration period and thus enhance the patient compliance toward implant treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of different drilling techniques on implant stability at different time intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were randomly allotted into three groups based on drilling technique for osteotomy: conventional drilling technique; simplified drilling technique; or modified conventional drilling technique. In 30 patients (n = 10 each group), a total of 44 implants were placed. In the conventional drilling technique, drills with increasing diameters were used. In the simplified drilling technique, only pilot and final-diameter drills were used. In the modified conventional drilling technique, all the drills were used in sequential order in the clockwise direction except the last drill, which was used in the counterclockwise direction. Implant stability quotient was recorded immediately after placing implants and at 1 and 3 months. Statistical analysis was performed with two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student t test. RESULTS Two-way ANOVA showed that drilling technique (P < .001) and time (P = .002) did have a statistically significant effect on implant stability quotient. The modified conventional drilling technique showed a drop in secondary implant stability at 1 month that was negligible compared to the other techniques. After 1 month, there was a significant increase in implant stability quotient with the modified conventional drilling technique compared to the conventional drilling technique (P = .001). The least crestal bone loss during 3 months of follow-up was with the modified conventional drilling technique (0.37 ± 0.06). CONCLUSION Secondary stability increased with the modified conventional drilling technique in 3 months and showed a negligible drop at 1 month. This novel drilling technique had an early shift from a decrease to an increase in stability pattern, along with the least crestal bone loss at 3 months.

Abstract
Vitamin D is required to maintain normal serum calcium and phosphate levels that help normal bone mineralization, nerve conduction, muscle contraction, immune function, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Interventions including vitamin D supplementation may not improve vitamin D deficiency, as various complex genomic actions could contribute to vitamin D deficiency in the Indian population. Thus, we assessed hypovitaminosis D's relationship with vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism and evaluated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in seemingly healthy adolescent school-going girls. We included 100 school-going girls (aged 12-17 years) studying in four schools of different socio-economic strata of Bhopal, India. The selected participants were divided into four groups based on the school in which they were studying. Blood samples were tested for serum calcium, phosphorus, PTH, ALP, vitamin D 25(OH) D, and albumin levels.VDR polymorphism was detected through the PCR-RFLP. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, ANOVA, and linear regression. The difference in the age, calcium, ALP, and vitamin D values between the four groups were significant (P < 0.05), whereas high PTH levels (80%) were found. A higher prevalence of homozygous polymorphic allele demonstrates a molecular signature for severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. Hypovitaminosis D ranged from 84.9% to 100%, and a high prevalence of VDR polymorphism was observed. Attention must be paid to the health of this age group of school-going girls as hypovitaminosis D and associated VDR gene polymorphism could be the reason for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), showing changes in bone mineral density in these adolescent girls to ensure their future health.

Abstract
Purpose: Polymethylmethacrylate denture bases are prone to fracture, so reinforcement
of dentures with nanoparticles is required to overcome these challenges. This invitro
study was done to assess the effect of reinforcement with nanoparticles of
polyetheretherketone (PEEK), zirconium oxide (ZrO2) and its mixture on flexural
strength of polymethylmeythacrylate resin. Materials and methods: A total of 60 acrylic resin specimens measuring 65 mm × 10 mm × 2.5 mm were
fabricated. The specimens were divided in to fifteen specimens in each group
[control group (C), 3wt% PEEK group (P), 3wt% zirconia group (Z), and hybrid
reinforcement of 1.5wt% PEEK and 1.5wt% ZrO2 group (P-Z)]. The flexural strength
of the specimens was evaluated using a three-point bending test on a universal
testing machine. The statistical analysis was done using one-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA), and the intergroup comparison was done using Tukey’s post hoc analysis. Results: The mean flexural strength was maximum in group P-Z (98.73MPa) followed by
group P (86.22 MPa) and group Z (84.48 MPa). The mean flexural strength was least
in the control group (74.86MPa). One-way ANOVA revealed a highly significant
(P<0.01) difference among the groups. Pairwise comparison among groups showed
a significant difference (P<0.05) among all the groups except in between groups P
and Z where no significant difference was found (P=0.406). Conclusion: Hybrid reinforced PEEK and zirconia could be used as an effective reinforcement
material for denture base resin. The hybrid PEEK and zirconia reinforced resin can
be an alternative treatment option in patients with heavy occlusal forces and for
patients who have previous experience of multiple denture fractures.

Abstract
Aim and objective Compare and evaluate the muscle activity and the occlusal force between the mixed dentition boys and girls of 9-12 years. Materials and methods The study included 15 boys and 15 girls. The occlusal force and activity of the masseter and temporalis muscle were measured with a T-scan device using a sensor, a module to transmit the signals to a computer and the complete data of the bite force and muscle activity with the EMG recordings and data were collected and evaluated. Results Relative occlusal force in the primary and permanent molars between the boys and girls showed no significant difference on the left side compared to the right. The electromyography values of masseter and temporalis in boys and girls showed a significant difference in which (TAR and MMR), (TAR and MML), (TAL and MMR), and (TAL and MML) are significant. The overall paired sample statistics showed higher muscle activity in masseter. Conclusion T-scan analysis has proved to be a dependable method for the evaluation of occlusal bite force with the muscle activity interpretation using EMG. This study concluded that there is a difference in the occlusal pattern and muscle activity in the mixed dentition that showed the maximum force was on the permanent molars and the symmetry of EMGs activity in children was on the right masseter comparatively with higher bite values in boys compared to girls. Clinical significance T-scan is a computerized analysis system that helps in the proper assessment of the patient's occlusion and assists in the proper treatment planning and diagnosis accurately without much effort.

Abstract
Aim Accurate fit of the abutment to the implant is required for the uniform load distribution throughout the assembly. The study aims to compare the marginal misfit of titanium stock abutments with the cobalt-chromium (CoCr) customized abutments fabricated with the different manufacturing processes in internal hex implant-abutment connection using an appropriate scanning technique. Setting and Design In vitro comparative study. Materials and Methods A total of 40 abutments were included in the study. Ten titanium stock abutments were used as control (Group CN) and 30 CoCr abutments were fabricated and taken as the test group. Stock abutments were scanned and from obtained images test group abutments were fabricated as follows: Ten cast abutments (Group CA), 10 sintered abutments (Group SA), and 10 milled abutments (Group MA). Endosseous implanst having internal hex connections were matched with 10 stock abutments and 30 customized CoCr abutments. Implants were mounted in a clear epoxy resin block and the abutments were then fitted onto the implants with a torque of 30Ncm. The marginal discrepancy at implant-abutment connections was measured with confocal laser scanning microscope. Statistical Analysis Used One-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test was done for statistical analysis. Results One-way ANOVA revealed a significant difference in marginal misfit of abutments. The mean marginal misfit was lowest for stock abutments (0.35 ± 0.009 μm). Among the customized abutments, the mean marginal misfit was highest for cast abutments (2.44 ± 0.445 μm) followed by sintered abutments (1.67 ± 0.232 μm) and least for milled abutments (0.65 ± 0.041 μm). A significant difference was found in marginal misfit with cast abutments and sintered abutments when compared to stock abutments (P < 0.001). The difference in marginal misfit was insignificant between stock abutments and milled abutments (P = 0.052). Conclusion Difference in marginal misfit exists between the titanium stock abutments and customized CoCr abutments. Among the customized abutments, milled CoCr abutments have the least marginal discrepancy and cast CoCr abutments have a maximum marginal discrepancy. Milled CoCr abutments can be used as an alternative to titanium stock abutments.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate studies with a minimum follow-up of 3 years to find the peri-implant marginal bone loss (MBL) and rate of implant failure with platform-switching (PS) and platform-matching (PM) implant-abutment connections. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was done based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, with a focused question on population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. The Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool was used to assess bias. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing peri-implant MBL and implant failure in patients receiving PS implants and PM implants only were included. The risk ratio (RR) of the implant-abutment connection and implant failure was calculated, and peri-implant MBL was expressed in mean differences (MD) at 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Three hundred eighty-one articles were obtained after an initial literature search. Finally, nine articles were included in the study that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Four hundred twenty-six PS and 411 PM implants were placed with 16 implant failures (8 PS and 8 PM). The implant survival rate was 98.12% for the PS group, and 98.05% for the PM group, with no statistically significant difference (P = .97). The mean peri-implant MBL with the PS implant was lower (0.33 ± 0.41 mm) compared with the PM implant (0.66 ± 0.42 mm). A significant effect of PS implants was found in reducing peri-implant MBL (MD: -0.70, 95% CI: -1.25,-0.15; P = .01) compared with PM implants. The MD of peri-implant MBL between the PS and PM implants decreases with increased follow-up: MD of 0.69 (P = .15) with follow-up of ≥ 3 years but < 5 years, and MD of 0.62 (P = .04) with follow-up of ≥ 5 years. CONCLUSION Reduced peri-implant MBL was found with the PS concept. The peri-implant MBL decreases with an increased mismatch between the abutment and implant platform. The difference in peri-implant MBL in PS and PM implants in the maxilla was greater and favored the PS concept. Bone-level implants with single crowns or splinted prostheses better preserved the peri-implant marginal bone with the PS concept.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a new material that was introduced for the fabrication of implants and their superstructure along with other available materials. It is not yet known whether the carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR‑PEEK) material can be used as an implant and its superstructure in place of titanium (Ti). OBJECTIVES The study evaluated stress distribution around CFR‑PEEK implants and Ti implants with 5 different prosthetic crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS A three-dimensional (3D) model of a bone block was created to represent the right maxillary premolar area with a bone-level implant system with 100% osseointegration, using the Ansys Workbench software, v. 15.0. In total, 10 3D finite element analysis (FEA) models were created. The models were divided into 2 groups according to the type of implant: the CFR‑PEEK group (n = 5); and the Ti group (n = 5). Each group was subdivided to imitate 5 different restorative crown materials (PEEK, zirconia, porcelain fused to metal (PFM), metal, and acrylic resin). Each implant model was loaded vertically (200 N) and obliquely (100 N). Stress distribution in the implants, the abutments, the cement layers, and the crowns was evaluated using the von Mises stress analysis. Maximum and minimum principal stress analyses were used to determine the stress generated in the bone. RESULTS The CFR‑PEEK implants bore more stress in vertical and oblique loading as compared to the Ti implants. The stress generated in the bone with the CFR‑PEEK implants was similar to that generated with the Ti implants under vertical loading. Under oblique loading, less stress was transferred to the bone with the CFR‑PEEK implants as compared to the Ti implants, showing better adaptation of the CFR‑PEEK implants to lateral stress. CONCLUSIONS In this FEA study, the amount of stress generated within the bone in the case of the CFR‑PEEK implants with different restorative crowns was smaller in comparison with the Ti implants in oblique loading. This could help reduce lateral stress on implants as well as crestal bone loss.

Abstract
Rehabilitation of completely edentulous patients with implant-supported prosthesis (ISP) is the need of the day, but in many patients, the routine ISP is not possible due to the severe atrophic residual ridges. The present case series describes three cases with atrophic ridges rehabilitated using zygomatic implants and/or All-on-4 treatment concepts. In case 1 and case 3, in maxillary arch, there was not enough bone in Zone 3 to rehabilitate the patient with routine protocol followed for the All-on-4 treatment concept, so in these two cases, zygomatic implants were placed. Case 1 and case 2 were rehabilitated with Malo Bridge and case 3 with acrylic teeth-hybrid prosthesis using a computerized milling procedure to obtain improved fit, function, esthetics, and ease of retrievability whenever required.

Abstract
Aim & objectives Clinical trials had concluded a significant relationship between implant failure and bruxism. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) was done to evaluate the stress distribution in straight and angled abutments around titanium and carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) implant with 2 different prosthetic crowns under parafunctional loading. Materials and method Twelve 3D models of bone block were created representing the maxillary right premolar area with osseointegrated implants. The models were divided in two group; CFR-PEEK implant (n = 6) and group titanium implant (n = 6).Each group was subdivided based on implants with three different abutments (straight, 15°, 25° angled abutments) and having two different prosthetic crowns: porcelain fused to metal (PFM) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). A vertical load of 1000 N was applied to the central fossa and an oblique load of 500 N (30°) was applied to the buccal incline of the palatal cusp. The von Mises stresses and principal stresses were analyzed using ANSYS software. Results CFR-PEEK and titanium implants produced similar stress in bone under vertical and oblique loading. Straight abutment showed better results than 15° and 25° angled abutments in all the groups. PEEK crown produced lesser stress than PFM crown under vertical and oblique loading. Conclusion The study concluded that straight abutment along with PEEK crown could be given in patients with bruxism to reduce the stress concentration in bone, thus preventing possible implant failure. Titanium and CFR-PEEK implants with straight abutments if given, then it should be provided with an occlusal splint.

Abstract
Purpose This systematic review has been undertaken to highlight the unforgettable contributions of Prof. Brånemark Per-Ingvar (PI). It could be understood that reviewing his work would give an idea of growth of this treatment modality. Materials and Methods: An electronic search on the PubMed/Medline, Ebscohost, and Cochrane database was done using search term "Brånemark PI" to identify his publications. Articles published in English and only related to implants and osseointegration were included. Screening of the titles and abstracts were done according to inclusion criteria and suitable studies were included in the review. Results The initial literature search resulted in 187 articles, out of which 92 articles were excluded due to not meeting the inclusion criteria and 16 articles excluded due to non-availability of even abstract also. A total of 79 articles were finally included in this review. Conclusion Brånemark PI had a great vision of future; who considered edentulism as equal to amputation and came up with the concept of osseointegrated implants to overcome them. The innovations of Brånemark had assured the world that it is very much possible to provide implant-supported prosthesis in any situations for the rehabilitation of the individuals.

Abstract
Aim and objective The purpose of this systematic review is to analyze the suitability of the zirconia crowns for restoration of damaged primary teeth in children. Background This systematic review has been conducted in line with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews (which is also called as PRISMA) guidelines. A search for the relevant articles of zirconia crowns in deciduous teeth has been made in electronic database of PubMed and a study design (meta-analysis), i.e., PICOS framework. The words used in the search are “zirconia crowns” and “primary molars,” “zirconia crowns” and “primary incisors,” “zirconia crowns” and “children,” “zirconia crowns” and “primary teeth.” Review results The database search showed 44 studies of which 20 articles were excluded as they were irrelevant, duplicates, and data were not available. In the present systematic review, the remaining 24 articles were included. Conclusion Zirconia crowns have been proved with better results than other crowns in terms of gingival and periodontal health, esthetics, and crown fractures. However, the quantity of tooth preparation and the wear of antagonist tooth are reported to be more in case of zirconia crowns. Future randomized control studies should be carried out in primary teeth due to less number of randomized studies on this topic. Clinical significance Zirconia crowns are now widely used in dentistry and there is an increase in the number of studies, so a systematic review evaluating and comparing results is warranted.

Abstract
The majority of maxillary defects can be rehabilitated with pedicled flaps. However, when there are very large resections of the maxilla and flap success is questionable, then the defect may be obturated with a conventional hollow bulb clasp retained obturator or implant retained obturator prosthesis. However, inadequate retention, stability and support may be associated with the use of a conventional obturator and in case of recurrence the success of implant is questionable. A precision attachment becomes the silver lining. They have been used to retain obturator for some time. The use of precision attachments in a dentate maxillectomy patient can yield significant functional improvement while maintaining the obturator's aesthetic advantages. This clinical report describes the successful prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary defects with an obturator retained using two different extracoronal resilient precision attachments. Attachment retained prosthesis provides a successful closure for the defect but also better esthetics, retention, better tolerability and better mastication and speech.

Abstract
Aim Recording the maxillomandibular relationship is important in various prosthodontic treatments. Evidence of face-bow transfer resulting in improved outcome is conflicting. Hence the objective of this study is to determine the use of face-bow transfer in prosthodontics. Settings and Design : Systematic review based on PRISMA guidelines.">. Materials and Methods A protocol was developed prior, which covered all aspects of the review. The databases explored were MEDLINE database, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane collaboration library. The PICO model included participants who received a complete denture/partial denture prosthesis. Intervention was the use of the face-bow device. Comparator was prosthesis made with a simple procedure of not using a face-bow device for prosthodontic rehabilitation. Outcomes were patient satisfaction with dentures, the stability of the dentures, esthetics, and time taken for clinical and laboratory procedures. Only randomized clinical trials were included in this study. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Statistical Analysis Used Qualitative analysis. Results A total of 144 articles were identified. On excluding 4 duplicates and screening the title and abstracts of the rest of the records based on exclusion criteria only 15 studies were selected for review. Conclusions The use of the face-bow did not yield superior results for the quality of the prosthesis. Therefore, there is no evidence for the utility of face-bow transfer in complete denture treatment. However, no inference could be drawn for its utility in partial denture prosthodontics as there was no study to draw an inference.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of addition of various nanoparticles into maxillofacial silicone elastomer on color stability and mechanical and biological properties of the silicone elastomer. Settings and Design: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines(PRISMA). Materials and Methods: The electronic database search in MEDLINE/PubMed was based on population (silicone elastomer), intervention (nanoparticles), comparison (unreinforced silicone elastomer with nanoparticle-reinforced silicone elastomer), outcome (color stability and mechanical, physical, and biological properties), i.e., PICO framework. The key words used are (”maxillofacial silicone” OR “silicone elastomer” OR “facial silicone”) AND (”nanoparticles” OR “Nano-oxides”) AND (”colour stability” OR “Hardness,” “tensile strength” OR “tear strength” OR “antifungal activity”). Results: The database search resulted in 2099 studies, of which 2066 articles were excluded as they were irrelevant, duplicates, and data were not available. The remaining 33 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, out of which 2 articles were in Chinese language, 3 articles were thesis documents, and 8 were review articles. A total of 12 articles were excluded and the remaining 20 articles were included. One article was yielded by hand search of references of included studies. A total of 21 studies were included in the present systematic review. Conclusion: With the available evidence in the literature, it can be concluded that addition of nanoparticles at various concentrations may improve the physical and mechanical properties and color stability of the prosthesis made from the silicone elastomers.

Abstract
Exact recognition of the anterior loop is very important to avert any injury to the neurovascular bundle during surgical procedures. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the prevalence and length of the anterior loop in different populations. A comprehensive search of Medline/Pubmed and Cochrane database was done. The focused question was the presence of anterior loop (including loop length) of the inferior alveolar nerve in mental foramen region in CBCT images of the various subjects. Articles related to the presence of anterior loop (including loop length) were only included. Initial literature search resulted in 3024 papers, after removing duplicate articles, 2821 articles were left. Two thousand seven hundred eighty-four articles were further excluded by the reviewers after screening the abstracts which resulted in 37 studies. Hand searching resulted in 2 additional papers. Seven full-text articles were excluded for not fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Finally, 32 articles were included in the review. Two thousand five hundred three subjects with anterior loop were found, which approximates 38% with 48.4% bilateral, 27.8% right side, and 23.8% left side. The loop distribution in males and females was also found to be different. There was highly significant (P < 0.001; I2 = 98.81%) heterogeneity found in the included studies. Variations were found in the prevalence, length, gender, and side distribution of anterior loop in various populations. This systematic review highly recommends not relying on any average values and the clinician should compulsorily make use of imaging modalities available in each and every case, wherever surgical procedure is to be performed near mental foramen region.

Abstract
Aim and objectives The study evaluated the stress distribution in an endodontically treated tooth with four different post systems and restored with two different prosthetic crown materials using finite element analysis (FEA). Material and methods A total of eight 3D FEA models of maxillary central incisor were created and divided into two groups; group porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crown (n = 4) and group PEEK crown (n = 4). The endodontically treated tooth was restored using four different post materials such as fiber-reinforced composite (FRC), carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK), glass fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (GFR-PEEK) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) and composite resin core. A static load of 100 N was applied and von Mises stress was calculated. The stress ratio in dentin was analyzed by using the Mohr-Coulomb failure theory. Results In dentin, under the applied forces for both, PFM group and PEEK group, it was observed that CFR-PEEK post exhibited minimum von Mises stress while PEKK post exhibited maximum von Mises stress values. The result obtained showed that low stresses were detected using CFR-PEEK post than FRC, GFR-PEEK, and PEKK posts. Conclusion Stress observed in dentin, when CFR-PEEK post was used was lesser in comparison to the FRC post. It was noted that PEEK crown and the PFM crown showed similar effect in dentin in stress generation. Hence, PEEK crown can be used as an alternative to the PFM crown.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is no enough evidence present on the success of single implant-retained mandibular overdentures (SIMO) with Dalla Bona and Locator attachments. This study aims to compare crestal bone loss and patient satisfaction with SIMO with Dalla Bona and Locator attachment following immediate loading protocols. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve patients included in Group 1 received immediate SIMO with Dalla Bona attachments, and another twelve patients in Group 2 received immediate SIMO with Locator attachments in the mid symphyseal region. The follow-up was scheduled at 6 and 12 months after implant placement. The patient satisfaction with the denture was evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS) score. The data obtained were statistically analyzed with the independent student t-test for intergroup comparison and repeated measures of ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's Post hoc analysis for intragroup comparison of mean crestal bone loss at a different time interval. RESULTS Ten patients each in both the groups were available for follow-up. Crestal bone loss at 6 months follow-up for Dalla Bona group was 0.42 ± 0.10 mm on the mesial side and 0.43 ± 0.14 mm on the distal side and at 1 year 1.54 ± 0.16 mm on the mesial side and 1.66 ± 0.13 mm on the distal side. The mean crestal bone loss at 6 months follow-up for Locator group was 0.48 ± 0.16 mm on the mesial side and 0.45 ± 0.11 mm on the distal side and at 1 year was 1.71 ± 0.22 mm on mesial side and 1.74 ± 0.28 mm on the distal side. There was difference in bone loss at 6 months (mesial: 0.06 mm, p = 0.327; distal:0.02 mm; p = 0.726) and at 1 year (mesial: 0.17 mm, p = 0.063; distal: 0.08 mm; p = 0.423) in between two groups but the difference was statistically insignificant. There was a significant difference found in the VAS score for patient satisfaction with SIMO with Dalla Bona attachments and Locator attachments at 6 months (54.2 vs. 51.8, p = 0.005) and 1 year (60.6 vs. 55.2, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Patient satisfaction with SIMO with Dalla Bona attachments was higher during the follow-up. SIMO with Dalla Bona attachments had less crestal bone loss and less prosthetic complications when compared to Locator attachments, although the difference in the bone loss was statistically insignificant.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of silver nanoparticle incorporation into maxillofacial silicone material on its hardness, tear strength and color stability. METHODS A total of 180 silicone specimens were fabricated according to the specification of American society for material and testing (ASTM) No. D142 and No. D624. The control samples were fabricated without silver nanoparticles and test samples were fabricate with 20 ppm concentration of silver nanoparticles. For outdoor weathering specimens were placed in a metal cage, which was suspended from the roof for a period of one month. Digital shore A hardness tests (Yuzuki, DIN 53505, ASTM D2240) was used to measure hardness, for tear strength the specimen was placed in the jaws of the universal testing machine (Lloyd instruments, LR 50 K) and stretched at a rate of 500 ram/rain, for color stability Spectrophotometer had been employed and the data recorded in the CIE L*a*b* system. The independent sample's "t" test was used to test significant differences. RESULTS The mean difference for hardness between control and test group was 0.54 and t value was 2.08 and (p < 0.05).tear strength 0.66 and "t" value was 0.93 and (p < 0.05) and for color stability it was -0.02 and t value was -0.92 and (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The present study findings suggest that addition of silver nanoparticles at 20 ppm concentration decreased the hardness of Teksil 25(S25) silicone elastomer, and it did not affect tear strength and color stability.

Attitude of dental professionals toward cast partial denture: A questionnaire survey in India. J Indian Prosthodont Soc 2020; 20:104-109. [PMID: 32089606 PMCID: PMC7008619 DOI: 10.4103/jips.jips_304_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2019] [Revised: 11/07/2019] [Accepted: 12/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims: The use of cast partial dentures (CPDs) has been decreased and its importance has been declined in the teaching curriculum. The purpose of this survey was to evaluate the attitudes of dental professionals toward conditions using CPDs in private practice in India. Settings and Design: Descriptive survey Materials and Methods: This survey consists of eight close-ended questions concerning the use of CPD by dental professionals practicing in India. The URLs of the questionnaire were shared via E-mail to dentists practicing throughout India, to obtain a response of 384 which is a predetermined sample size. Statistical Analysis Used: Statistical analysis was done using counts and percentages and the results were further analyzed statistically by the Chi-square test. Results: Nearly 42.79% of general dental practitioners (GDPs), 47.26% of prosthodontists, and 9.95% of other specialist dentists responded to the questionnaire. GDPs mostly preferred removable partial dentures (RPDs) (71.87%) and fixed partial dentures (57.22%), whereas prosthodontists preferred mostly implant (60.91%). GDPs mostly preferred flexible dentures (62.42%), whereas prosthodontists preferred CPDs 62.84%. Almost 52.50% of the GDPs mostly raised a cost issue and 63.11% of the prosthodontists had difficulty in adjustment with CPDs. Nearly 63.46% of the dentists told that implant-supported restorations are better options compared to CPDs; still, majority of the dentists (53.23%) were in favor that more importance for teaching CPDs in graduation curriculum should be given. Conclusions: This survey shows that in India a significant proportion of GDPs (71.87%) preferred RPDs, mostly flexible dentures (62.42%) due to their low cost compared to CPDs. Prosthodontists mostly preferred implants (60.91%) because they are more confident and better trained in these. It is recommended that more importance be given in teaching implants along with CPDs in graduation curriculum so that practitioners can better educate their patients about implants and their advantages over flexible dentures and their utilization in cases where patients are not willing for CPDs.

Evaluation of hydrophilic gel made from Acemannan and Moringa oleifera in enhancing osseointegration of dental implants. A preliminary study in rabbits. J Oral Biol Craniofac Res 2020; 10:13-19. [PMID: 32025481 DOI: 10.1016/j.jobcr.2020.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2019] [Revised: 01/11/2020] [Accepted: 01/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Hydrophilic implant surface has gained increasing interest as a factor to stimulate osseointegration. Purpose The study was done to formulate hydrophilic gel to be applied on to the dental implant surface, to enhance bone to implant contact (BIC). Materials and methods In first part of study, Acemannan and Moringa oleifera hydro gel formulated in different proportions were coated on the titanium disk and 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay was done to evaluate cell viability.Cytotoxicity of aqueous extracts of two plants were tested against UMR106 cells. In second part of study, the prototype titanium implants were placed in tibia and femur of 8 male rabbits. Hydrophilic gel formulated from Acemannan and Moringa oleifera were coated on the study groups of implants. Histomorphometric analysis was carried out of the enbloc sections specimens. Student's unpaired t-test was used to compare mean values between the two groups. Results The alkaline phosphatase assay showed least cell inhibition for Acemannan and Moringa oleifera (2:1) as 4.45% and osteoblastic differentiation as 0.328 at 540 nm. Titamium disc coated with hydrogel of Acemannan and Moringa oliefera and seeded with Human MSC shows increased proliferation of osteoblast cells.Compare to study group implants, control group showed no new bone formation. Conclusions Hydrophilic implant surface showed new bone formation with increased bone to implant contact.There was absent of degenerative changes, necrotic changes, fibrosis, and inflammation at the new BIC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the technical and biological complications of screw- and cement-retained implant-supported full-arch dental prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was conducted on Medline/PubMed and Cochrane databases in February 2019; irrespective of any time restrictions using MeSH terms. All studies were first reviewed by abstract and subsequently by full-text reading. Further hand search was performed to identify other related references. Articles only related to cement-retained and/or screw-retained reconstructions in full-arch fixed dental prostheses (FDP) were included. RESULTS The initial literature search resulted in 3670 papers. 3478 articles remained after removing duplicate articles, and 3439 articles were further excluded by the reviewers after the abstract screening, which resulted in a selection of 39 studies. 12 studies were further excluded due to not fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Hand searching resulted in two additional papers being included, and finally, 29 articles were included in this review. Screw-retained full-arch fixed dental prostheses have fewer complications than cemented reconstructions. Biological complications such as marginal bone loss > 2 mm occurred more frequently in cemented reconstructions, and technical complications such as screw-loosening and screw fracture occurred more in screw-retained reconstructions. CONCLUSION Cemented reconstructions exhibited more biological complications (implant loss, bone loss > 2 mm) and screw-retained prostheses exhibited more technical problems. Clinical outcomes were influenced by both fixations in different ways. The screw-retained restorations were more easily retrievable than cemented ones, therefore, technical and eventually biological complications could be treated more easily. For this reason, and for their higher biological compatibility, these reconstructions are preferable.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to establish the efficacy of the socket-shield technique (SST) for the stabilization of the facial gingival and osseous architecture. An electronic search including the Cochrane databases, EBSCOhost, Medline/PubMed and Web of Science was performed. Articles related to SST for placing dental implants were included. Articles and abstracts not written in English were excluded. The initial literature search resulted in 113 articles related to questions raised. Hand searching of the journals related to implants and cross-referencing related to SST within the selected articles resulted in 1 more paper. Finally, 20 full texts and abstract of 1 article were included in the present systematic review: 11 case reports, 6 case series, 1 human randomized control trial (RCT), 1 technical report and 2 animal RCT. Recent modifications in SST, along with long follow-up studies with increased sample size, provided promising results. This systematic review still recommends that SST should not be used in routine clinical practise until a higher level of evidence established. Further RCT on SST are required to establish the clinical efficacy of this technique.

Abstract
Purpose This systematic review was done to find the patients oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and satisfaction with implant supported overdentures (IODs) when compared to conventional complete dentures (CCDs). Materials and methods To identify suitable literature, an electronic search was performed using Medline/PubMed and Cochrane databases. Manual search of Prosthodontics, Gerodontology and journals related to dental implants were also done. Articles published in English and articles whose abstract is available in English were included. The search was focused on patient's oral health-related quality of life and satisfaction with IODs when compared to CCDs.Titles and abstracts were screened, and literature that fulfilled the inclusion criteria was selected for a full-text reading. Results Initial literature search resulted in 1803 papers, 1779 were excluded after screenings of the abstracts by the reviewers which resulted in 24 studies. 5 studies were further excluded due to not fulfilling the inclusion criteria, 2 additional articles included after hand searching, resulting in total 21 articles in systematic review. The result suggests that mandibular CCDs had less retention as compared to maxillary conventional dentures CCDs, which improved drastically with IODs and provides a better oral health-related quality of life and satisfaction to the patients. Conclusion Retention, stability, comfort, speech and chewing efficiency improved drastically with IODs, with enhanced patient's satisfaction and a better OHRQoL. Patients reported more satisfaction and OHRQoL with mandibular IOD when compared CCDs.

Abstract
Background Rapid increase of products containing titanium leads to the increases in percutaneous and permucosal exposure of populations to the titanium. Purpose Evaluate the various material compositions in five commercially available dental implant systems and correlate the obtained material contents with allergic conditions seen with implants. Material and methods A total of 25 implant, with 5 samples each in 5 groups of commercially available dental implants (MKIII, Myriad, Nobel Replace, MIS and Alpha Dent) were used in the study. Positive Material Identification (PMI) testing was done to analyse the amount of different metals (percentage by mass) present in the dental implants. Results Highest titanium content, 99.47% by mass was found in sample 2 (Myriad) and least, 89.04% by mass in sample 5(Alpha dent). Nickel was found only in sample 5 (Alpha dent) in 0.079% by mass and zinc in sample 4 (MIS) in0.084% by mass, chromium was found in sample 1 (MK III) in 0.263% by mass and in sample 2 in0.273% by mass. Conclusions Implant composition should be made mandatory to be disclosed on the implant packet and before implant placement patch test for the allergen present in the particular implant can be done for the patient's health benefit and long term clinical success of dental implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The increased use of cell phones has raised many questions as to whether their use is safe for patients with dental implants. This study aimed to assess the consequences of cell phone-emitted radiation on bone-to-implant osseointegration during the healing phase. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve rabbits were grouped into three groups of four. Group 1 (control) was not exposed to electromagnetic radiation; group 2 (test) was exposed for 8 hours/day in speech mode and 16 hours/day in standby mode; and group 3 (test) was exposed for 24 hours continuously in standby mode for 3 months. Forty-eight implants were placed in tibia and femur bone of rabbits, and after 90 days the rabbits were sacrificed and bone surrounding the implant was retrieved. Histopathologic evaluations of the specimens were done using transmitted light microscope. The differences among the three groups were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance (ANOVA) and pairwise comparisons via Fisher's exact test. RESULTS Significantly less bone-to-implant contact and bone area surrounding implant threads were found in the test groups compared to the control group. There was a significant difference in regular bone formation (P < .001) among the three groups. CONCLUSION Implants exposed to cell phone radiation showed more inflammatory reaction when compared to the nonexposed implants, thus indicating that cellular phone overuse could affect the maturation of bone and thus delay osseointegration.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evaluation of the available research on PEEK materials to find that whether PEEK material has favorable properties and can enhance osseointegration, so that they can be utilize as implants material. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic and structured systematic search was undertaken in May 2018, without any restrictions of time in the Medline/Pubmed, Sci-hub, Ebscohost, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases. To identify other related references further hand search was done. Articles related to PEEK and their applications in implants were only included. Articles not available in abstract form and article other than English language were excluded. RESULTS Initially, the search resulted in 153 papers. Independent screenings of the abstracts were done by the reviewers to identify the articles related to the question in focus. Sixty-two studies were selected out of which 10 were further excluded due to not in English language. Two additional papers were obtained after hand searching, and finally 54 articles were included in the review. CONCLUSIONS Surface modification of PEEK seems to enhance the cell adhesion, proliferation, biocompability, and osteogenic properties of PEEK implant materials. PEEK had also influence the biofilm structure and reduces the chances of periimplant inflammations. Further research and more number of controlled clinical trials on PEEK implant is required in near future so that it can replace titanium in future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome of "simpli5y" concept where in 3 and 2 implant placed cross arch in maxilla and in mandible respectively, restored with screw retained prosthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total of 30 patients were randomized, with 15 in group1 with an average of 45 Ncm insertion torque with delayed loading and 15 in group 2 with above 65 Ncm inertion torque with immediate loading with equal number of male and female in each group following parallel design with 3 implants in maxillary and 2 implants in mandibular arch placed which was supported by a 3Dimensional finite analysis comparing the stress dissipation around implants of this concept-"Simplif5y" with All-on-4 concept. RESULTS Von Mises strain recorded in the bone in the maxillary and mandibular arch models were higher in All-on-four than that in the "simpli5y", which was vice-versa in the framework. Three-year post loading marginal peri implant bone loss for the group 1 was less than group 2. CONCLUSIONS These results, suggest that in both delayed loading and immediate loading protocol that cross arch prostheses can be successfully supported by 3 and 2 implants in maxillary and mandibular arch respectively-"Simpli5y" concept of full mouth restoration.

Abstract
PURPOSE Anodized implants with moderately rough surface were introduced around 2000. Whether these implants enhanced biologic effect to improve the environment for better osseointegration was unclear. The purpose of this article was to review the literature available on anodized surface in terms of their clinical success rate and bone response in patients till now. MATERIALS AND METHODS A broad electronic search of MEDLINE and PubMed databases was performed. A focus was made on peer-reviewed dental journals. Only articles related to anodized implants were included. Both animal and human studies were included. RESULTS The initial search of articles resulted in 581 articles on anodized implants. The initial screening of titles and abstracts resulted in 112 full-text papers; 40 animal studies, 16 studies on cell adhesion and bacterial adhesion onto anodized surfaced implants, and 47 human studies were included. Nine studies, which do not fulfill the inclusion criteria, were excluded. CONCLUSIONS The long-term studies on anodized surface implants do favor the surface, but in most of the studies, anodized surface is compared with that of machined surface, but not with other surfaces commercially available. Anodized surface in terms of clinical success rate in cases of compromised bone and immediately extracted sockets has shown favorable success.
