The objective was to investigate the differences in bone loss and inflammation between implants placed adjacent to a tooth or edentulous area in a ligature-induced PI model. 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 presence or absence of an adjacent tooth does not influence PI-induced soft and hard tissue alterations.</p>","PeriodicalId":519890,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of oral implantology","volume":" ","pages":"98-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142901412","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}

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.

This study aimed to understand the role of alkali treatment conditions, including alkali medium concentration, temperature, rotation speed, and post heat treatment. Our results show that alkali treatment using 5 and 10 molar sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution allows the formation of web-like microstructure. However, a higher concentration of 15 molar resulted in cracks along the surface. Interaction between the human fetal osteoblast cells and Ti samples showed that heat treatment is necessary for increased cellular proliferation, which was not significantly different at later time points compared with the polished Ti. Alkali heat treatment did not induce inflammatory reactions at later time points. It showed an increase in vascular endothelial growth factor, osteoprotegerin/nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand ratio, and osteocalcin expression, which is evidence for accelerated osteoblast cell maturation and bone remodeling in surface-modified samples. Together, these data show that alkali treatment using 5 or 10 molar of NaOH followed by heat treatment may have a therapeutic effect and assist with bone tissue integration with Ti implant.</p>","PeriodicalId":519890,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of oral implantology","volume":" ","pages":"636-643"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142127896","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}

This study was a single-center, prospective trial and included adults aged 18 and above. From 2021 to 2022, 9 2-piece, tissue-level zirconia implants were placed in 8 patients. Following a 3-month osseointegration phase, crowns were cemented. Over a year, we assessed plaque and gingival indices, pocket depth, and tissue color and texture.

One implant failed after 6 months, resulting in a 1-year survival rate of 88.8%. Plaque and gingival indices rose, but peri-implant soft tissue remained stable in color and texture.
