This study introduces the papillary coronal anchorage technique, a novel modified tunnel surgical procedure, to facilitate the reconstruction of the interdental papilla. This method allows for coronal movement of the entire interdental papilla without incisions at the papilla to facilitate primary wound healing. Using a combination of bone grafts and recombinant human fibroblast growth factor 2 and anchoring the tunnel-like flap coronally using sutures, we successfully achieved a reconstruction of the infrabony defects as well as the interdental papilla. The papillary coronal anchorage technique is effective as it enables the simultaneous reconstruction of both the infrabony defect and the interdental papilla.</p>","PeriodicalId":94231,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of periodontics & restorative dentistry","volume":"0 0","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142515592","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}

Utilizing a split mouth design, 10 systemically healthy patients (n= 20 implants) had adjacent non-restorable maxillary anterior teeth replaced with two different implants (butt-joint connections and platform-switching interfaces). Patients underwent alveolar ridge preservation, followed by implant placement: platform-matching implants were inserted at crestal bone level, and platform-switching implants were placed 1mm subcrestally. Customized Zirconia crowns were then fabricated for both systems. Outcome measures included bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD), and marginal bone loss (MBL), which were evaluated through standardized periapical radiographs over 3-year timeframe. Results showed significantly higher initial MBL in the PM group (0.86 ± 0.13 mm) compared to the PS group (0.34±0.29 mm) [p value: p<0.01]. Moreover, at the three-year follow-up, the crestal bone levels remained above the implant shoulder until the third year of the study for the PS subcrestal group (PS: -0.15±0.39 mm) and slightly below the implant platform in the PM crestal group (PM: 0.55±0.19). After 3 years, the PS group also exhibited lower mean BOP percentages (12%) than the butt-joint group (17%). This study suggests that subcrestal placement with PS and internal connections can provide better long-term peri- implant bone preservation, thereby potentially improving implant success and aesthetic outcomes in the anterior maxillary region.</p>","PeriodicalId":94231,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of periodontics & restorative dentistry","volume":"0 0","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142515590","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 secondary goal of this study was to showcase a method for utilizing the scan body library to generate a fixed fiducial marker for the cross-mount of an edentulous arch. Comparative analysis was performed as a case-control study. A custom scan body was utilized to generate the positions of the titanium bases from the intraoral models and digitized stone models of three maxillary arches (All-On-6, All-On-5, and All-On-4) and two mandibular arches (both All-On-4). The titanium base positions were compared using advanced 3D inspection software. The mean ± SD deviation was 30.38 ± 17.78 μm (95% CI: [14.8 to 45.97 μm]), with mean deviations of 38.73 ± 19.24 μm (95% CI: 16.96 to 60.5 μm) in the maxilla and 17.85 ± 0.92 μm (95% CI: 16.58 to 19.12 μm) in the mandible.
