However, the effectiveness and necessity of such protocols have not been consensual in the literature. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis on survival of dental implants placed in clinically healthy patients by unexperienced operators. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted. Ninety patients who received between 2 and 4 dental implants by unexperienced operators were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly allocated in 2 groups. For the antibiotic group (n = 47), patients received 1 g of preoperative amoxicillin; in the placebo group (n = 43), patients received preoperative placebo administration. Each patient was evaluated preoperatively, 2 days, and 7 days postoperatively. Factors evaluated were mouth opening amplitude, assessment of referred pain through a visual analogue scale, and characteristic signs of infection (presence of fistula, ulceration in the surgical wound, tissue necrosis at the edges of the wound, dehiscence of the surgical flap, and presence of purulent exudate in the surgical wound). Implant survival was evaluated until 90 days postsurgical procedure. Results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in postoperative healing, swelling, and pain. However, more loss of dental implants was observed in the placebo group (14.9% vs 2.3%). Use of antibiotic prophylaxis reduced implant loss that was previously placed by unexperienced operators.</p>","PeriodicalId":50101,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral Implantology","volume":" ","pages":"537-543"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41160447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the interaction between telomere length and inflammatory biomarkers in seven cases of zirconia implant placement to gain insights into postoperative cellular aging, inflammatory responses, and long-term outcomes. Zirconia implants offer advantages over titanium implants, as they do not corrode or release metal ions, leading to potential inflammation and implant failure. Monitoring immune and inflammatory biomarkers is essential to assess inflammation initiation, severity, and progression. C-reactive protein (CRP) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, like interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), play crucial roles in host immune responses, while anti-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-10 (IL-10), regulate and dampen immune responses. Achieving a delicate balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines is vital for maintaining a healthy immune response and preventing chronic inflammatory conditions. Telomeres, protective structures present at chromosome ends, influence cellular aging and mitochondrial function. Shorter telomeres are associated with impaired mitochondrial function, increased oxidative stress, and cellular senescence, while longer telomeres are linked to reduced inflammation and improved immune function. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for addressing age-related conditions and promoting overall well-being. In this case series, we investigated the interaction between telomere length and inflammatory biomarkers in patients who received zirconia dental implants. The study aims to improve our understanding of postoperative cellular aging, inflammatory responses, and the biocompatibility of zirconia implants, potentially leading to improved treatment protocols and patient outcomes. This innovative assessment of telomere length and inflammatory biomarkers in the context of zirconia implants provides novel insights into the field of dental implantology. By exploring the effects of zirconia implants on cellular health and inflammation, this study contributes to advancements in implant technology and patient care.</p>","PeriodicalId":50101,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral Implantology","volume":"49 5","pages":"524-531"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139724777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On 1 implant per screwdriver, 26 abutments were properly attached one after the other with the corresponding abutment screws. After tightening the abutment screw, the force required to pull the screwdriver off the screw head was determined with a spring balance. For both manufacturers, greater pull-off forces were measured when using the original screwdrivers than when using the universal screwdriver. The pull-off force (mean ± SD) required for the Straumann original screwdriver was 3.7 ± 1.4 N, while that required for the universal screwdriver was 0.1 ± 0.1 N (P < .001). The pull-off force was 1.5 ± 1.5 N for the BEGO original screwdriver and 0.7 ± 0.9 N for the universal screwdriver (P = .19).

The existing dental work was failing due to recurrent caries and the mechanical failure of long-span bridges. The unique aspect of the treatment presented in this report is the management of existing osseointegrated implants of different systems with different platform designs, which adds to the treatment's complexity. The existing implants were incorporated into the planned treatment, and other implants were added to support maxillary zirconia and mandibular hybrid full-arch prostheses. After 2 years of function, extensive wear was evident on the milled acrylic, even though an occlusal guard was used. New acrylic teeth were processed using the same milled titanium bar of the mandibular hybrid prosthesis, and the occlusal surfaces of the acrylic teeth were protected with gold onlays.
