We report the management of a 54-year-old patient presenting with florid cemento-osseous dysplasia complicated by mandibular osteomyelitis, which required antibiotic administration and 2 surgeries to resolve. This area was then reconstructed with guided bone regeneration before 3 implants were placed using guided surgery, including 1 implant in a dysplastic area and 1 in the graft site. Osseointegration of the implants allowed rehabilitation with a supraimplant bridge. An optimal functional rehabilitation and complete integration of implants were observed 13 months after the surgery. Eight cases of implant placement in COD patients have been reported before in the literature (n = 35 implants).

We incised the existing soft tissue ridge at the bone defect and extensive adhesions below the maxillary sinus to create space for the grafted bone and to form an adequate buccal flap. To ensure the grafted bone's stability and to support the surrounding soft tissues, a cortical bone from the iliac crest was placed beneath the sinus membrane, with cancellous bone grafted underneath, and a titanium mesh was applied at the alveolar region.

Materials and methods include the following: Three-week-old C57BL/6J male mice underwent maxillary first (AT; n = 12) or first and second (AE; n = 8) left molar extractions. In both groups, implants were placed in the first molar region 8 weeks after tooth extraction. Each group was further divided into control (C) or ligature (PI) 4 weeks after osseointegration. The mice were euthanized 12-14 days after ligature placement. The samples were analyzed using micro-computed tomography and histology. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance and Tukey multiple comparison test (P < .05). Radiographic linear analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in bone levels between the two C and PI groups. Linear bone loss was significantly greater in the PI group than in the C group. Volumetric analysis yielded similar results. Histologically, hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed no notable differences between the two C and PI groups. The PI groups showed increased levels of inflammatory infiltrates and bone resorption. Qualitative assessment of collagen through picrosirius red staining demonstrated increased collagen disorganization in the PI group compared with that in the C group. No notable differences were observed between the AT and AE groups.

The sole author of this guide is Prof. Shahram Ghanaati, DDS, MD, PhD, Senior Consultant and Deputy Director of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Plastic Surgery at Frankfurt University Hospital, Germany. Although the advantages of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and other blood concentrates in dental implantology are well known, dentists and dental assistants are not used to taking blood samples. The author presents a guideline for collecting and preparing blood samples to ensure a high level of patient safety in these cases and a certain degree of professionalism in the dental profession. In his foreword, the author rightly points out that only regular practice can bring theory to life. The soft-cover book is extremely compact at 64 pages. The author focuses on the individual work steps and points out possible application errors using 88 photos, illustrations, and generally very easy-to-understand language. The result is an inexpensive clinical guide describing the necessary equipment, anatomy, and the correct sequence of steps for successful venipuncture. It should be included in any oral surgery practice that wants to work with blood concentrates. Of course, anyone looking for references or further information in this small book will not find what they want in the instructions. A list of possible application areas for blood concentrates must also be made. However, the reader is provided with efficient step-by-step instructions.
