The dental literature has reported vertical soft tissue changes that can occur with immediate implant placement, bone grafting, and provisional restoration ranging from a gain or loss of 1.0 mm. However, little is known the effects facial-palatal collapse ridge due to these clinical procedures. Based upon treatment modalities rendered, an ensuing contour change significant negative esthetic consequences. results retrospective cohort study evaluating in horizontal dimension associated...
This article presents the results of evaluating changes in peri-implant soft tissue dimensions associated with immediate implant placement into anterior postextraction sockets for four treatment groups: no BGPR (no bone graft, provisional restoration), PR BG (bone and restoration). The vertical distance was greater grafted sites than nongrafted ones (2.72 mm vs 2.29 mm, P < .06). facial thickness at gingival third also (2.90 2.28 .008) restorations compared to without them (2.81 2.37 .06),...
Abstract Purpose To characterize the microbiome composition within dental implants of peri‐implantitis subjects and healthy controls using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Materials methods Twenty‐three with ( n = 11 implants) diseased (peri‐implantitis, 21) were included in this controlled clinical cross‐sectional study. Samples obtained from internal surfaces sterile paper points for microbiological analysis. DNA was extracted, the16S amplified universal primers targeting V3–V4 regions. The...
The use of an immediately placed provisional restoration that mirrors the cervical contours extracted tooth at time implant placement may provide a platform to promote peri-implant soft tissue healing. This study examined association sulcular bleeding initial disconnection with stability buccolingual ridge dimension following immediate placement. Eighteen implants grafted particulate bone were restored screw-retained, single-unit, and abutment. presence was recorded after 5 7 months...
Alveolar ridge preservation via socket grafting (ARP-SG) is indicated to attenuate physiologic alveolar bone resorption as a consequence of tooth extraction. However, specific material that patently superior has not been identified yet. The aim this randomized controlled trial was evaluate the efficacy moldable alloplastic graft, Poly Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid-Coated β-Tricalcium Phosphate (PLGA-β-TCP), for ARP purposes [Group A] compared freeze-dried allograft (FDBA) particles covered with...
Abstract Purpose To characterize the microbiome composition in peri‐implant pocket of peri‐implantitis and sulcus controls using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Materials Methods In this controlled clinical cross‐sectional study, 23 subjects with control implants ( n = 14) diseased (peri‐implantitis, 21) were included. The pocket/sulcus was sampled used to extract DNA amplify universal primers targeting V3‐V4 regions. resulting PCR amplicons sequenced on Illumina MiSeq, sequences processed DADA2...
Extraction and immediate implant placement/restoration in the esthetic zone is clinically challenging; benefits include fewer surgical appointments maintenance of peri-implant soft tissues throughout treatment period, limitations gingival recession bone dehiscence during surgery. Macro-hybrid implants (large-diameter apical/narrow-diameter occlusal) were placed 19 patients immediately following extraction hopeless maxillary anterior teeth. Immediate restorations fabricated without occlusal...

Fifty-six patients were placed one four treatment groups: non-platform-switching (Non-PS, n = 14); bone graft (BG/Non-PS, (3) platform-switching (PS, 15); (4) (BG/PS, 13). Buccolingual...
The peri-implant mucosa (PIM) is formed during the wound healing process that follows implant and abutment placement. PIM known to play crucial roles in function; acting as a biologic barrier for bacterial infiltration maintaining mucosal health of implant, esthetics.

ABSTRACT Objective Immediate Tooth Replacement Therapy (ITRT) has become popular due to its ability reduce treatment time and provide immediate esthetic results. However, long‐term challenges, such as mid‐facial recession labial bone resorption, have been reported. Anatomic temporary cylinders (ATC), which allow for efficient fabrication of provisional transitional restorations in the zone, were designed mimic natural emergence profile guide mucosal tissue healing. This study examines effect...
Introduction: The contribution of periodontal disease to adverse systemic consequences remains controversial. This analysis examined 2 well-investigated conditions independently and combined—adverse pregnancy outcomes glycemic control for patients with diabetes—based on shared pathogenic mechanisms infection inflammation. It was proposed that inconsistencies in study design significantly contribute outcome discrepancies found between intervention studies undergoing meta-analysis. Methods:...
Immediate tooth replacement therapy (ITRT), ie, immediate implant placement and provisional restoration in postextraction sockets, has been shown to achieve favorable outcomes reference soft tissue stability esthetics. However, avoiding socket perforation with uniaxial implants the anterior maxilla can be challenging due inherent anatomy. Dual or co-axis subcrestal angle correction (SAC) have developed change restorative of clinical crown subcrestally at implant-abutment interface enhance...
A clinical case series of three patients is presented using a novel implant design to not only address primary stability but also prevent damage the labial bone plate and improve interdental space for papillae preservation with immediate tooth replacement therapy. This unique features an apicocoronal inverted body-shift in diameter (wide narrow), shape (tapered cylindrical), thread depth (deep shallow), pattern (V-shaped square) achieve uncompromised esthetics, particularly extraction...

β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a synthetic osteoconductive scaffold that used as an alternative to autogenous bone grafts. The purpose of this case series was examine the effectiveness polymer-coated β-TCP particulate graft in preserving alveolar ridge height after tooth extraction. Effectiveness evaluated using radiographic measurements, together with histomorphometric evaluation formation.Eight patients, treatment planned for extraction and dental implant placement posterior region,...
Introduction: When the soft tissue around an implant is inadequate or poorly contoured, augmentation techniques such as connective grafts are used to enhance gingiva and gingival contour implant‐supported restoration. There have been some case reports of cystic lesions occurring after a graft, but this appears be first report cyst in alveolar mucosa adjacent implant. Case Presentation: Following placement implants #6 #7 positions, cosmetic deficiency was visible papilla height evident...
Achieving primary stability is a critical challenge presented by immediate implant therapy. Surgeons often utilize wider, tapered implants for this purpose, or they use longer to achieve stability. Both strategies are associated with negative ramifications. Prosthetically guided placement must respect biologic principles, such as tooth-implant and implant-implant distance, gap space between the facial cortex, and, when possible, screw-retention of prosthesis. A novel design geared toward...
