Three-dimensional measurements, including MSC volume, residual bone height (BH) surrounding the implants, and apical bone coverage, were obtained using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Marginal bone loss (MBL) was assessed through standardized periapical radiographs following prosthetic loading. The accuracy of implant positioning was evaluated by measuring the three-dimensional deviations between virtually planned and actually placed implants.

Volumetric analysis revealed a significant mean reduction in MSC volume of 45.34% ± 33.08% (<i>p</i> = 0.012). Postoperative measurements demonstrated a statistically significant increase in BH compared to baseline values (<i>p</i> < 0.001). This gain remained largely stable throughout the 6-month observation period, with minimal resorption noted in the buccal aspect (<i>p</i> = 0.03) and mean value (<i>p</i> = 0.05). Prior to second-stage surgery, radiographic evaluation confirmed complete bone coverage of all implants, with 60% exhibiting > 2 mm of apical bone coverage. MBL remained within physiological limits. Analysis of implant positioning accuracy showed that coronal global and vertical deviations fell within acceptable clinical parameters, while apical global deviation and angular deviation marginally exceeded recommended thresholds. Cytological analysis of the aspirated cystic fluid revealed no evidence of infection, while histological examination of the regenerated tissue demonstrated mature bone formation with abundant vascularization. Patient-reported outcomes indicated high satisfaction levels.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":50679,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Influence of Implant Geometry on the Surface Strain Behavior of Peri-Implant Bone: A 3D Analysis","authors":"Moritz Löhlein, Constantin Motel, Manfred Wichmann, Ragai Edward Matta","doi":"10.1111/cid.70003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/cid.70003","url":null,"abstract":"<p>To ensure long-term implant success, it is crucial to understand the force transmission from the implant to the surrounding bone. In dentistry, bioengineering methods are applied to investigate these processes. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of different implant geometries on the surface strain behavior of porcine mandibles under load using a 3D optical camera system in combination with digital image correlation. Four different implant types were subjected to a force of 200 N in three different loading directions (axial, non-axial 15°, and non-axial 30°). Under axial loading, parallel-walled implants exhibited lower surface strain values on the peri-implant bone compared with tapered implants. However, when subjected to non-axial loading, these parallel-walled implants showed a substantial relative increase in strain by approximately a factor of 2.96 compared with axial conditions. At a 30° non-axial angle, long, tapered implants with a smaller diameter (BLX 3.75) produced lower peri-implant bone strains than implants with larger diameters and shorter lengths, while short, tapered implants (BLT) demonstrated a lower relative increase in strain (factor ~1.49) from axial to non-axial loading. Under non-axial loading, long, tapered implants with a small diameter resulted in lower strains in the peri-implant bone compared with implants with a larger diameter and shorter length. It was found that non-axial loads lead to higher strains than axial loads. Therefore, the success of implantation could be significantly influenced by selecting an appropriate implant geometry and the correct angulation of the implant.</p>","PeriodicalId":50679,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cid.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
