Clinical Comparison of Vascular Bleeding Time Creep Between Osseodensification and Conventional Drilling of Implant Osteotomy Sites
This study compared the onset of vascular bleeding between osseodensification and conventional drilling of implant osteotomy sites. Patients with type III trabecular bone requiring a single missing tooth replacement were included and allocated to either Group A (test) or Group B (control). In Group A, the osseodensification group (OD), an implant osteotomy was carried out using Densah Burs (Versah) in the counterclockwise direction; in Group B, the standard drilling group (SD), Densah Burs were run in the clockwise direction. An endoscope was introduced into the osteotomy to visualize and measure the time taken for initiat...

A Radiohistographic Analysis of Growth Factor-Mediated Sinus Augmentation in Atrophic Maxillae: A 30-Month Follow-up Study
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Oct 24;(7):s93-s106. doi: 10.11607/prd.6194.ABSTRACTA total of 20 atrophic maxillary sinuses were augmented with recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor BB (rhPDGF-BB), alloplast, and bovine xenograft using a direct approach. CBCT imaging was performed at baseline, immediately postoperatively, and at 6 and 30 months postoperatively. A histologic evaluation revealed the bone bridging and bone regenerative efficacy of the graft material. Radiographic evaluation determined the ridge height (H) and volume of the graft (V) to be as 3.02 ± 1.35 mm at baseline (H0), 15.18 ± 2.5...

Restorations of Class II Cavities Evaluated for Marginal Leakage When Restored with Composites or a Giomer Using Different Bonding Agents
CONCLUSION: The total-etch technique provided better marginal adaptation for the composites and giomer compared to the self-etch technique.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The demand for esthetic restorations continues to increase, and composite restorations are now considered the material of choice for Class II cavities. There are various concerns with composite restorations, one of them being good marginal adaptation to increase the life of the restoration. This study evaluated marginal leakage with the nanohybrid composite Filtek Z250 XT, fine hybrid composite SwissTEC, and a giomer when used with the total-etch technique and sel...

The Custom Alveolar Ridge Splitting (CARS) Technique for Predictable Horizontal Ridge Augmentation in the Atrophic Posterior Mandible: A Case Report
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Oct 24;(7):s168-s180. doi: 10.11607/prd.6293.ABSTRACTThe Custom Alveolar Ridge Splitting (CARS) technique was recently reported as a less-invasive treatment option for augmentation of the maxillary anterior area in cases where alveolar width deficiency exists due to bone resorption and remodeling. This technique creates an intraosseous defect to improve success when horizontal ridge augmentation is attempted. The purpose of the present case report was to demonstrate implant placement in an atrophic posterior mandibular site using the CARS technique. This technique was used in the m...

A Periodontal Perspective on the Successful Treatment of Recurrent Benign Gingival Lesions Affecting the Anterior Dentition: Two Case Reports
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Oct 24;(7):s195-s204. doi: 10.11607/prd.6137.ABSTRACTRecurrent benign gingival lesions occurring in the anterior dentition are clinical dilemmas. While complete removal of such lesions is required to prevent recurrence, this can result in a poor esthetic outcome. Relative to this conundrum, this report discusses the diagnosis, psychologic management, and clinical treatment of two patients with recurring lesions on the facial gingiva of the mandibular and maxillary incisors, respectively. Patient A, a 55-year-old woman, presented with a recurrent peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF); ...

Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Oct 24;(7):s205-s216. doi: 10.11607/prd.6226.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate the influence of prosthetic features on marginal bone level changes around bone-level implants with an external hex connection.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 100 patients with 166 implants and cemented crowns were included. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Prosthetic features were radiographically evaluated, including emergence angle (EA), emergence profile (EP), crown-implant ratio (CIR), and abutment height. Marginal bone levels were measured on intraoral radiographs taken at...

Evaluation of the Effect of Surgical Experience Level on the Success of the Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) Technique
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that experience level can significantly affect the clinical and esthetic outcomes, operative time, and complication rates of CAF surgery. All education programs should determine how many of each surgical procedure residents must perform before they are considered experienced or expert surgeons who can work independently and predictably achieve safe, acceptable outcomes.PMID:37879060 | DOI:10.11607/prd.6163 (Source: International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry)

Is Autologous Sticky Bone Better Than a Simple Mixture of Autologous PRF and Bioactive Glass in the Regeneration of Human Periodontal Intrabony Defects? An Extensive Clinical and CBCT Study
In this report, autologous sticky bone (ASB) was used and compared to a simple mixture of PRF and bone graft (PRF-BG) using the identical graft material-bioactive glass morsels-to assess its regenerative potential in IBDs, as sticky bone is known to maintain the space, according to previous research. A total of 21 IBDs were treated by OFD, PRF-BG mixture, or ASB. Regenerative assessment was clinically and radiographically performed by CBCT at 1 year. All the treatment modalities (OFD, PRF-BG, and ASB) showed statistically significant improvements clinically and radiographically at 1 year in terms of probing pocket depth re...

Pink Esthetic Score Around Single-Tooth Implant Crowns After Socket-Shield Technique: A Prospective Cohort Study
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Oct 24;(7):s283-s294. doi: 10.11607/prd.6075.ABSTRACTEsthetics is important for any dental implant but crucial for implants in the anterior region. Restorations in this region are demanding, and the goal of re-establishing an attractive smile without revealing differences from the natural teeth is difficult to achieve. The aim of this study was to examine the clinical success of the socket-shield technique regarding soft tissue stability and overall esthetic outcome. Pink esthetic scores (PESs) were collected at two time points (T1: 6 months; T2: 6 years) by three different special...

A Prospective Clinical and Radiographic Assessment of Narrow-Diameter Implant-Supported Mandibular Overdenture
Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Oct 25;0(0):1-13. doi: 10.11607/prd.6622. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis investigation was designed to evaluate clinical feasibility of the use of narrow-diameter implants to support mandibular overdenture. Twelve patients presenting with an edentulous mandible were recruited from 9 dental offices (n=1~2 per office). Each patient received two to four implants in the mandible. The implants were placed without additional bone augmentation. 36 implants were placed in total. All achieved satisfactory crestal bone stability and soft tissue maintenance at 1 year post final prosthetic...
