“…The emergence of dental implants with reduced dimensions is the net outcome of several factors (material science, surface properties, and macro-design of the implant shape and connection) that converge in improving their biological and mechanical properties [41][42][43][44][45][46]. This has also been accompanied by a better understanding of the biomechanical behavior of the restoration-implant-bone under function [47][48][49][50].…”

Short Narrow Dental Implants versus Long Narrow Dental Implants in Fixed Prostheses: A Prospective Clinical Study

There is a paucity of studies that assess short and narrow dental implants. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the performance of both short (≤8 mm) and narrow (≤3.5 mm width) dental implants supporting fixed prostheses in the atrophic maxilla or mandible. Towards that aim, patients with short implants were included in the study. The control group was those with long and narrow dental implants (length > 8 mm and diameter ≤ 3.5 mm). Clinical and demographic variables were extracted from clinical records. During the follow-up, implant survival and marginal bone loss were evaluated and statistically analysed. Forty-one implants were included (18 and 23 implants in the test and control groups, respectively). The median follow-up time was 26 months since insertion in both groups. The results revealed that there was no implant failure and no statistically significant differences in terms of marginal bone loss. Only one screw-loosening effect occurred in the short implants group. Short, narrow dental implants could be an alternative for the restoration of severely resorbed jaws.

“…Previous studies showed that plasma rich in growth factors may stimulate faster epithelization, reduce postoperative pain and symptoms, and enhance hard and soft tissue healing in a number of oral surgery procedures in both healthy and medically compromised subjects [ 1 , 2 , 14 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 42 , 46 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ]. Favero et al in a study on animal model of implant osseointegration, reported that the percentages of new bone increased by 4 times after 2 weeks at the UnicCa ® surface, and higher new bone percentages were found at BTI UnicCa ® , which immediately initiates the regenerative process and reduces implant failure [ 52 , 53 ]. Though, in spite of convincing preclinical evidence, the actual benefit of the adjunctive use of platelet concentrates in implant treatment needs to be supported by further evidence-based, long-term clinical studies.…”

Dental Implants with a Calcium Ions-Modified Surface and Platelet Concentrates for the Rehabilitation of Medically Compromised Patients: A Retrospective Study with 5-Year Follow-Up

Background: Platelet concentrates are biological, autologous products obtained from the patient’s whole blood, consisting of a supraphysiological concentration of platelets and growth factors, that have proved beneficial in different applications in the medical and dental fields. They are used in several medical and dental applications to enhance tissue healing. Previous evidence shows that platelet concentrates may be beneficial in patients with compromised systemic conditions, in which the healing process is impaired. Aim: To evaluate the 5-year clinical outcome of implant treatment using acid-etched implants with calcium ions-modified surface in association with plasma rich in growth factors, in patients with systemic diseases of a different nature. Methods: Charts of 99 medically compromised patients, who had received a total of 224 dental implants from January 2013 to June 2013, were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into four groups, according to their condition: diabetes (n = 39 patients), osteoporosis (n = 36), lupus erythematosus systemic (n = 5), rheumatoid arthritis (n = 19). The main outcomes were implant survival, marginal bone level (MBL) change and complications throughout follow-up. Results: Mean follow-up was 63.06 ± 1.90 months (range 60.1 to 66.4 months). In total, eight implants failed in 6 diabetic patients and 4 in 3 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Overall 5-year implant survival was 94.6%. In total, 30 complications occurred in 24 patients, mostly transient, and no severe adverse event occurred. Overall MBL change was 0.45 ± 0.12 mm, with no significant differences among groups. Conclusions: In the present sample of medically compromised patients, rehabilitation with calcium ions-modified surface implants associated with plasma rich in growth factors proved to be a safe and effective treatment. The satisfactory results achieved after 5-year follow-up are comparable to those historically reported for healthy patients.

“…This is in agreement with other studies that evaluated bone density at implants at various periods of healing. In experimental studies in dogs [32,33], different implant surfaces were evaluated after 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks of submerged healing. New bone density was found increasing in percentages over time.…”

Background: Altering surface characteristics by increasing its energy and hydrophilicity will accelerate the interaction between cells and implant surface. Energy and hydrophilicity tend to disappear over a short time. The implant surface may be reactivated by the use of argon plasma Objective: To assess bone density at cleaned and activated titanium implants using argon plasma. Methods: Mandibular premolars and first molars were extracted bilaterally in eight Beagle dogs. After three months, four implants, two treated with argon plasma (test; plasma) and two left without treatment (control), were randomly installed in one side of the mandible. Abutments were applied on the implants and a non-submerged healing was allowed. After one month, the same surgical procedures were adopted on the opposite side of the mandible. The animals were euthanized after one month and ground sections representing the healing after 1 and 2 months were obtained for histological examination. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between test and control sites (p < 0.05). After 1 month of healing, new bone was 32.5 ± 12.2% and 33.8 ± 8.8% at the plasma and control sites, respectively. After 2 months, the respective values were 50.8 ± 21.5% and 47.6 ± 15.6%. Conclusion: The treatment of the implant surface with argon plasma did not have a significant effect on bone density around implants.
