BACKGROUND: The anatomy of soft tissues around dental implants is extremely important to prevent inflammatory periimplant diseases and ensure healthy, stable and long-term survival of a dental implant. Various methods and materials for increasing the physiological thickness of tissues have been described including connective tissue graft (CTG) and xenogenic collagen matrix (XCM). While assessing various materials it is necessary to establish objective measurement method to determine the minimum amount of tissue thickness to maintain a stable level of bone around the implant...

Dental implant success requires placement after periodontal therapy, with adequate bone volume, plaque control, primary stability, control of risk factors, and use of well-designed prostheses. This report describes the surgical and prosthetic management of a patient with severe iatrogenic periodontal/periimplant bone destruction. Methods. A 55-year-old female smoker with fixed partial dentures (FPDs) supported on teeth and implants presented with oral pain, swelling, bleeding, and a 10-year history of multiple implant placements and implants/prosthesis failures/replacements...

Early implant bone loss (EIBL) is defined as the periimplant crestal bone loss occurring from fixture installation to 1 year after loading. This phenomenon has been suggested to be associated with biologic and biomechanical factors. Minimizing EIBL at every treatment step is preferable because this may improve implant health, aesthetics, and overall success. This review presents the host-related factors, implant design characteristics, and the surgical and restorative protocol modifiers that should be evaluated during therapy...

AIM: The aim of this retrospective study is to assess the long-term buccal bone plate changes in cases of single implants in the maxillary aesthetic area placed and restored immediately after extraction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A private practice's database was reviewed to find patients who had a standard computed tomography (CT) scan taken no more than 24 hours after insertion of a single, immediately restored, postextractive implant in the anterior maxilla. After a minimum period of 7 years, a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed...

BACKGROUND: Functional and aesthetic mandibular reconstruction can be achieved in a single operation by means of a double-barreled fibula osteoseptocutaneous free flap with dental implants loaded simultaneously into the upper barrel. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality and result of such reconstruction. METHODS: From 2005 to 2007, 10 patients underwent segmental mandibular defect reconstructions with double-barreled fibula osteoseptocutaneous flaps and simultaneous dental implantations...
