Materials and Methods: The panoramic radiographs of patient who presenting to Chi-Mei medical center (CMH) form year of 2008 to 2014 were screened. Those with at least one dental implant were selected and further evaluated. Submerged implants, implants with healing cap, failure implants, and implants with blurred vision were excluded. For patient level, sex, age and number of implants were recorded. For each implant obscured on the radiographs, location, type of implant-abutment connection, type of prosthesis, implant placed at CMH or non-CMH were recorded. The amount of peri-implant bone loss (PIBL) was assessed at the mesial and distal aspect using magnifying option. Clinical features of patients and implants were separately presented by descriptive statistics. Two multiple logistic regression models were also performed. Results: A total of 34.83% (650/1866) implants with detectable bone loss were identified. According to the result of chi-square test, age, implant-abutment connections and type of prosthesis were separately shown a significant influence on PIBL. Patients older than 25 years old have greater than 2.5 times risk of developing bone loss than younger patients. Comparing to the bone level with butt-joint connections, tissue level and bone level with platform switch connection separately significantly decrease 93.5% and 59.2% risk of bone loss. For the type of prosthesis evaluation, fix partial denture, overdenture and full mouth fix complete denture increased 1.97, 2.39 and 1.53 times risk of bone loss. Conclusion: Among these patients presenting to CMH with implants, the prevalence rate of peri-implant bone loss was 34.83% in implant level. Age, different implant-abutment connection designs and type of prosthesis could play a major role in peri-implant bone loss.\u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":150986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Periodontics and Implant Dentistry","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126636029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, whether the adjunctive application of EMD has clinical benefits on treating peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis has not been investigated thoroughly. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the clinical outcomes of treating peri-implant diseases with adjunctive EMD application. Materials and Methods: A systematic search of multiple electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, and Scopus was carried out based on the PICOs structure for articles published up to September 2020. The primary outcomes were bleeding on probing (BoP), probing depth (PD), and radiographic bone level (RBL). Data and risk of bias were explored qualitatively. Results: The search identified 942 studies with 7 studies included for qualitative analysis. These studies reported 200 participants with 270 implants diagnosed with peri-mucositis (n=41) and peri-implantitis (n=229). For implants with peri-mucositis, BoP reduced significantly (83 to 25%) at the 3-month follow-up period for those treated with non-surgical mechanical debridement combined with adjunctive EMD (EMD group), while there was limited improvement for those treated by mechanical debridement alone (control group). PD also decreased (4.5 to 3.12 mm) in EMD group whereas an increase to 5.17 mm was demonstrated in the control group. For cases diagnosed with peri-implantitis, the high prevalence rate (83% - 100%) of BoP at baseline was significantly reduced in 2 prospective studies at the 2-10-years follow-up after surgical debridement, surface decontamination with bone graft, and EMD application. However, there was no statistical difference between surgical treatment with or without adjunctive EMD application in the other randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and half of the implants still demonstrated persistent BoP. Moreover, the PD can also be reduced significantly from 8.12 to 3.17 mm for those treated with adjunctive EMD while the RBL reduced from 4.41 to 2.31 mm at 2-10 year follow-up. The overall survival rate was 85-100% at 2-10 years follow-up. Conclusion: This review investigated the efficacy of adjunctive EMD for treating peri-implant diseases and was able to demonstrate its effect in reducing PD, reducing BoP, and increasing survival rate of treated implants from 2 to 10 years. The beneficial impacts of traditional surgical therapy on implants diagnosed with peri-implantitis were investigated; however, in terms of treating peri-implantitis, the definite efficacy of adjunctive usage of EMD should be determined based on more quantitative analysis and research in future.\u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":150986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Periodontics and Implant Dentistry","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128648597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Methods: The search strategy consisted of a manual search of the J Taiwan Periodontol in the library from September 1996 to December 2004, and an electronic search of the Taiwan Academy of Periodontology (TAP) website and Airiti Library for all the publications from March 2005 to December 2020. The bibliometric parameters, including year of publication, study design, scope of study, Taiwanese institute of origin, inter-in- stitute collaboration, authorship, inter-nation collaboration, and funding resource, were analyzed. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the publications trends. Sig- nificance was accepted when the P value was < 0.05. Results: The study design of reviews and case report/series consisted of the majority of publications, and the number of publications has been steady throughout the investigat- ed time periods (1996-2000, 2001-2005, 2006-2010, 2011-2015, 2016-2020).

Sinus lifting or extraction socket preservation articles were excluded in this study. A random-effect meta-analysis was conducted to investigate ridge dimensional changes and complication rate. Results: Overall, ten articles were included in the quantitative analysis. In bone width and height augmentation, the weighted mean difference (WMD) of the horizontal bone gain at edentulous ridges was 0.38 mm (95% CI = 0.07 to 0.69 mm, p = 0.02) when comparing sites with and without PRP/PRF. The WMD of the vertical bone gain at edentulous ridges was 0.46 mm (95% CI = 0.06 to 0.86 mm, p = 0.02) when comparing sites with and without platelet- rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). When evaluating the effect of adjunctive use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) at alveolar ridge augmentation sites compared to alveolar ridge augmentation sites without BMP application, the WMD of the horizontal bone gain at edentulous ridges was 0.90 mm (95% CI = 0.30 to 1.49 mm, p = 0.003).

In the advanced extent of ECR lesion, surgical intervention is inevitable. Several studies presented favorable treatment outcomes on advanced ECR lesions at single teeth. In the light of these studies, this article reports on surgical management of two ECR cases. Materials and Methods: Two cases had ECR combined with bony defect in left mandibular first molar. Case 1 had ECR lesion over buccal furcation area combined with buccal bone plate loss. Following root canal treatment, the resorptive defect was restored by mineral trioxide aggregate and the bony defect was treated with guided tissue regeneration (GTR). Case 2 had class II furcation defect with ECR over furcal surfaces of mesial and distal roots. The resorptive defect was restored with bioceramic putty and class II furcation bony defect was treated by GTR. Root canal treatment of tooth 36 was done later after case 2 suffered from symptomatic irreversible pulpitis of tooth 36. Result: At one-year follow-up of case 1, no inflammatory signs with probing pocket depth (PPD) less than 3mm clinically and regeneration of buccal bone plate radiographically were found of tooth 36. At half year follow-up of case 2, there was a healthy gingiva with PPD less than 3mm clinically and the furcation area has been partially filled with regenerated bone radiographically of tooth 36.
