The test group consisted of 14 patients restored with a 2.9 mm diameter abutment (21 implants), while the control group included 14 patients restored with a 4.1 mm diameter abutment (17 implants). The primary outcome variable was the radiographic change in the peri‐implant marginal bone level at 12 months, measured as the distance from the implant shoulder to the first bone‐to‐implant contact (fBIC). Secondary outcome variables included clinical peri‐implant parameters, the papilla index, biological and mechanical complications, patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) and professional aesthetic assessment.ResultsA per‐protocol analysis was conducted on the 22 patients who completed all scheduled follow‐up visits. At the patient level, the change in mean radiographic bone level from definitive prosthesis placement to 12 months showed a reduction in the distance from the implant shoulder to the fBIC of 0.16 ± 0.31 mm in the test group and 0.21 ± 0.34 mm in the control group, with no statistically significant differences between the groups. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups for any of the secondary outcomes.ConclusionsConsidering the limitations of this study, no significant differences in peri‐implant marginal bone levels were found between bone‐level implants restored with narrow and standard diameter abutments after 12‐month follow‐up.

NETs and the expression of pyroptosis-related factors including NLRP3, Caspase1, GSDMD, and IL-1β were detected. In vitro, NETs induced from differentiated HL60 (dHL60) cells and human neutrophils were used to stimulate HGFs. Transcriptome sequencing analysis and functional enrichment analysis were performed to analyze the influence of NETs on programmed cell death and inflammatory-related signaling pathways in HGFs. Further investigations were conducted to explore the changes in cell viability, cell membrane permeability, and the expression levels of inflammatory factors and pyroptosis-related markers in HGFs treated with NETs in the presence or absence of DNase I.RESULTSCompared to healthy samples, the release of NETs was significantly elevated in soft tissues with peri-implantitis, accompanied by increased expression of NLRP3, Caspase1, GSDMD, and IL-1β. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that NETs activated signaling pathways related to pyroptosis and inflammatory responses of HGFs. Meanwhile, the results of the in vitro study revealed that NETs reduced cell viability, increased cell membrane permeability, and upregulated expression of inflammatory cytokines and pyroptosis markers in HGFs, which were partially reversed by DNase I treatment.CONCLUSIONNETs may exacerbate the pathological progression of peri-implantitis by inducing pyroptosis and inflammatory responses in HGFs.

Two operators performed 10 scans per ISB with four IOS devices (i5D, PS, T3, T4), generating 400 impressions. Reference scans were obtained with a desktop scanner, and trueness was analyzed using root-mean-square (RMS) error calculations (α = 0.05).RESULTSH-NS and H-SF exhibited the highest trueness across IOSs, whereas H-NB and H-M6 showed lower trueness. V-EA outperformed H-NB and H-M6 but not H-NS and H-SF. Significant IOS-ISB interaction effects (p < 0.01) indicated H-SF as the most accurate, especially with PS.

The extracted teeth were scanned with an intraoral scanner to serve as the reference. The virtual models generated by each segmentation method were superimposed with the surface scan models to calculate volumetric discrepancies.RESULTSThe discrepancy between the evaluated AI-driven and manual segmentation methods ranged from 0.10 to 0.98 mm, with a mean RMS of 0.27 (0.11) mm.
