Abstract Purpose This retrospective study evaluated the effect of selected clinical and patient factors on survival, success, and peri-implant bone level changes of locking taper implants supporting molar crowns on Bicon's prefabricated shouldered abutments. Methods A total of 234 patients, who received 274 single molar crowns supported by locking...

Abstract Background A peri-implant cystic lesion is a rare finding, and to date most investigators have considered that its pathogenesis is caused by trauma and infection related to dental implantation. However, the pathogenesis of these cysts remains unclear and is recognized to have multifactorial origins. Case presentation In February 2021, a...

Abstract Aim This case series aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the autologous circular cortical lamina-anchoring (CCA) technique for horizontal bone augmentation in the maxillary aesthetic region. Materials and methods A total of 25 patients with 28 implants underwent horizontal bone augmentation using CCA followed by implant placement and...

Abstract Introduction To evaluate the adjunctive effect of glycine-powder air-polishing (GPAP) to full-mouth ultrasonic debridement (Fm-UD) in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis, and to determine the impact of implant and patient-level variables for disease resolution. Methods Individuals with a diagnosis of peri-implant mucositis were consecutively...

Abstract Aims The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to compare the gene expression, micro-CT, histomorphometrical analysis between biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) of 70/30 ratio and deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in sinus augmentation. Materials and Methods Twenty-four patients in need for sinus floor augmentation through...
