Healing of Bio‐Oss^® grafted marginal gaps at implants placed into fresh extraction sockets of incisor teeth in dogs: a study on the effect of submerged vs. non‐submerged healing

Abstract

There was very little difference in healing outcomes as well as modelling of the facial bone wall between the submerged and NS protocols in relation to immediate implant placement in this dog model.

The influence of deproteinised bovine bone mineral on dimensional changes in the maxillary second incisor socket

“…Hence extraction could be carried out in a minimally traumatic manner. Secondly, Mellati et al () reported that the dimensions of the maxillary second incisor extraction socket were very similar to that seen in humans, with a mean width of 6mm and a mean depth of 11mm. Considering that implant placement and dimensional changes following extraction have critical importance in the anterior maxilla, the use of the maxillary second incisor provides a model with greater clinical relevance.…”

“…While in implant and ridge preservation studies, the mandibular pre‐molar was seen as ideal due to the ability to extract it without damaging the socket walls. However, De Santis et al () successfully utilised the maxillary second incisors in Labradors to study immediate implants, which was more recently followed by Mellati et al (). Both these studies were able to highlight several advantages associated with the use of maxillary second incisors as an experimental model over the mandibular pre‐molar.…”

“…Secondly, the preparation of the extraction site to receive implants is very similar to the situation encountered when placing implants immediately into extraction sockets in the anterior maxilla in humans. Thirdly, the maxillary second incisor socket of greyhounds has been shown to be dimensionally similar to that seen in humans, allowing any morphometric findings to be somewhat more representative of a clinical scenario (Mellati et al, ).…”

Comparison of Clinical, Radiographic, and Immunologic Inflammatory Parameters around Crestally and Subcrestally Placed Dental Implants: 5‐Year Retrospective Results

“…In this study, implants were loaded approximately 3 months after placement using the one‐stage surgical protocol, which may have affected the amount of CBL. The effect of single stage implant placement versus submerged healing has been previously investigated, showing comparable clinical and radiographic results . However, peri‐implant CBL has been demonstrated by others to be significantly higher in the submerged healing group .…”

The influence of collagen membrane and autogenous bone chips on bone augmentation in the anterior maxilla: a preclinical study

“…) and 28.75% after 3 months (Mellati et al. ). This study is the first preclinical confirmation of the beneficial effects of contour augmentation combined with early implant placement on lateral bone augmentation to the authors’ knowledge.…”
