    Abstract Background: This study aims to evaluate whether there is a correlation between implant stability, bone density, vital bone formation and implant diameter and length. Methods: Ninety patients were enrolled in this study. They underwent a socket preservation procedure with allograft or PRF and after 4 months, a total of 90 implants were placed. CBCT scans were assigned prior to implant placement in order to assess the bone density. During the surgical re-entry, a bone biopsy was harvested with a trephine drill. Immediately after implant insertion, the primary stability was measured. The secondary stability was measured 4 months after implant placement. Results: Primary stability showed a significant positive linear correlation with bone density (r = 0.471, p < 0.001) as well as with percentage of new bone formation (r = 0.567, p < 0.001). An average significant association of secondary stability with bone density (rs = 0.498, p < 0.001) and percentage of newly formed bone (r = 0.477, p < 0.001) was revealed. The mean values of primary stability in all three implant sizes, regarding the diameter of the implants, were similar (narrow 67.75; standard 66.78; wide 71.21) with no significant difference ( p = 0.262). The same tendency was observed for secondary stability (narrow 73.83; standard 75.25; wide 74.93), with no significant difference ( p = 0.277). Conclusions: The study revealed a high correlation between primary and secondary implant stability, and bone density, as well as with the percentage of vital bone formation. Implant length and diameter revealed no linear correlation with the implant stability.

    Abstract The aim of the present clinical study was to assess and compare the histomorphometric results and efficacy of freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) in combination with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and PRF as a sole grafting material for socket preservation. Ninety patients in need of tooth extraction and implant restoration were included in this study. The participants were randomly divided into three groups based on post-extraction clinical protocol: socket preservation procedure with allograft in combination with a PRF membrane (PRFm), PRF as a sole grafting material, and a control group. A total of 90 implants were placed four months post-extraction. During the surgical re-entry a bone biopsy was harvested with a trephine drill. Histological samples were prepared and analyzed for percentage vital bone and connective tissue. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc analysis were used to assess the results. Both test groups revealed a significantly higher percentage of vital bone formation compared to the control group. No statistically significant differences regarding vital bone formation and connective tissue quantity between the tested groups were observed (FDBA + PRFm: 3.29 ± 13.03%; and PRF: 60.79 ± 9.72%). From a clinical and histological point of view, both materials in the test groups are suitable for the filling of post-extraction sockets without bone defects. Both of the tested groups revealed a significantly higher percentage of vital bone formation compared to the control group.

    Abstract Repeatability and precision are major factors which have an influence on final implant treatment results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repeatability of freehand implant procedures assisted with special plastic sleeves which are placed on the drill to guarantee the proper mesiodistal distance from the landmark’s surface. Patient data required for implant treatment, including images of mandibles from CBCT scans and virtual models of soft tissues and teeth, were used to prepare complete virtual models of patient clinical conditions. The models were saved as STL files and 3D printed in five copies. Drilling procedures were done at positions 37, 46 and 47. Each model was scanned with pins in the osteotomies and compared using digital aligning of the models’ surfaces. The average deviation was −1.38 ± 1.4 mm. Average deviations on guide pins placed at position 37 were −0.46 ± 0.59 mm, at position 46 were −1.46 ± 0.88 mm (landmark’s surface of both: distal tooth’s surface), and at position 47 were the highest: −2.69 ± 1.62 mm (landmark’s surface: surface of plastic sleeve). The following conclusion was drawn: Using universal plastic sleeves could improve implant procedure precision especially in the case of partially edentulous patients.

    Abstract Stainless steel crowns are the most popular restoration technique for young permanent first molars treated endodontically. However, these restorations are not aesthetically appealing and need to be replaced. Endocrowns constitute a reliable approach for restoring severely damaged molars and premolars. Intraoral scanners (IOSs) are well tolerated by children and are easily and quickly implemented. We present an innovative treatment approach for endodontically treated teeth in children, using a digital workflow with IOS and computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) fabrication of the restoration. The protocol involves a thorough diagnostic phase and comprehensive treatment planning. Among the factors to be considered are the child’s behavior, the parents’ cooperation and compliance, and initial preparation including inhalation sedation, effective local anaesthesia and the use of a rubber dam. Full attention should be given to 1−2 mm of ferruling by the endocrown, which should be appropriately prepared to accommodate endocrowns for molars. IOSs include scanning of the prepared tooth and its antagonist, and scanning of the bite. CAD-CAM preparation of the restoration is followed by restoration bonding and follow up. Digital workflow should be considered in the treatment of endodontically treated molars since the high accuracy of the scanning enables definitive restoration in young patients.

    Abstract Numerous types of prosthodontics surgical guides, with and without metallic sleeves, have been found to be useful in clinical studies. The aim of this in vitro research was to compare the time required to complete the surgical procedure with two differently designed surgical prosthetic templates. Ten identical prototype models of mandible based on a CBCT and optical scan of a partially edentulous patient with missing teeth numbers 37, 46, and 47 were prepared and then printed. Five of these models were used for implant site preparation with a surgical guide without metal sleeves and dedicated surgical kit, and the other five models were used for the same procedure performed with a surgical guide with metal sleeves and a dedicated surgical kit. The time of implant site preparation was measured and recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t -test for independent samples. Differences between groups were found to be statistically significant ( t = −9.94; df = 28; p = 0.0000) with a lower value in favor of the surgical templates without metallic sleeves. Different types of prosthodontics surgical guides, with or without metallic sleeves, seemed to be an important factor which can significantly impact the time of implant site preparation and, therefore, the overall surgical procedure.

    Abstract Dental anxiety results in the neglect of oral hygiene and poor oral health, requiring an accurate screening tool for dental practitioners to evaluate dental anxiety. The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) is frequently used cross-culturally. The present study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Hebrew version of the MDSA. A total of 553 (mean age 35.87 years, SD = 13.14) Israeli participants were recruited through means of social media, mailing lists, and forums. The sample was randomly divided into two population sets. Dental anxiety was evaluated using the Hebrew version of the MDAS. The psychometric evaluation consisted of exploratory factor analysis (study 1, n = 274) and confirmatory factor analysis (study 2, n = 279). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to assess internal consistency. Results showed high internal consistency (0.93) for the Hebrew version of the MDAS. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a single factor solution. Findings demonstrated 13.4% of Israeli participants with dental anxiety. Younger participants, females, participants with lower education, lower income, and more religious participants reported higher dental anxiety. In conclusion, the Hebrew version of the MDAS demonstrated high reliability and validity. It is recommended to use the Hebrew version of the MDAS to evaluate dental anxiety in Israeli dental settings.

    Abstract Over recent years, the usage of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) has risen in hard tissue regeneration and oral implantology. The purpose of the present review is to offer an overview of the use of three APC techniques in dentistry: platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and concentrated growth factor (CGF). A narrative summary of articles published between January 2011 and April 2022 is provided. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Embase databases were used to conduct the search. The following keywords were used in the preliminary: “VEGF”, “TGF-b1”, “PRP”, “PRF”, “CGF”, AND “sinus augmentation” OR “implants” OR “peri-implantitis” OR “socket preservation” OR “MRONJ”. A total of 82 articles was finally included. The review then takes into account the application of the three techniques in different areas of treatment—including oral implantology, sinus floor elevation, peri-implantitis, socket preservation, and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ)—as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to assess intra-arch mandibular dimensional changes that may occur during mouth opening using cone beam-computed tomography (CBCT). Fifteen patients in need of any type of treatment whose execution considered a pre- and post-CBCT assessment consented and were enrolled. CBCTs were taken with the following settings: 90 kV, 8 mA, field of view (FOV) 140 by 100 mm (height and diameter), Voxel size 0.25 mm (high resolution). The pre-CBCT was executed in the maximum mandibular opening (MO), while the post-CBCT was in the maximum intercuspation (MI). A thermoplastic stent with radiopaque fiducial markers (steel ball bearings) was fabricated for each patient. Measurements were made using radiographic markers between contralateral canines and contralateral first molars and between ipsilateral canines and first molars on both sides. Paired t -tests were performed to evaluate the difference between open and closed positions on these four measurements. In the MO position were registered a significative tightening of the mandible at the canine (−0.49 mm, SD 0.54 mm; p < 0.001) and molar points (−0.81 mm, SD 0.63 mm; p < 0.001) and a significative shortening of the mandible on the right (−0.84 mm, SD 0.80 mm; p < 0.001) and left sides (−0.87 mm, SD 0.49 mm; p < 0.001). Within the study limitations, mandibular flexure determined a significant shortening and tightening between maximum intercuspation to maximum opening positions. Mandibular dimensional changes should be considered in light of other patient factors in the treatment planning of implant positioning and long-span complete arch implant-supported fixed prostheses in order to avoid technical complications.

    Abstract Background: Dynamic navigation has important potential advantages over the static approach for fully edentulous patients. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first published case report describing the use of a dynamic implant navigation technique for a fully edentulous patient.
    Case report: A 55-year-old female presented for the replacement of missing teeth. Treatment with an implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis was proposed. A digital navigation implant surgery/immediate provisionalization protocol was used. An acrylic resin denture was fabricated as a radiographic guide. Digital data were obtained through the double scan technique, and a prosthetically driven 3D implant positioning was designed. Four titanium mini screws were inserted into the mandible for registration. The first implant was inserted in a freehand manner and attached to a patient tracker. After calibration and registration, the navigation system was set up. The other five implants were inserted using the navigation system. The procedure followed for the maxilla was similar. After surgery, a loading procedure was performed within 24 h.
    Results: Following implant placement, a postoperative CBCT scan was performed. The results showed that all implants were placed precisely, in accordance with the treatment plan.
    Conclusion: From the results obtained it appears that a fully digital workflow for prosthetically driven implant navigation surgery is suitable for the treatment of fully edentulous patients requiring an implant-supported fixed restoration. High-level evidence is needed to determine the accuracy and precision of this workflow.

    Abstract Objectives: Various approaches are available for pit and fissure sealing, including: the use of sealants, with or without mechanical preparation; the use of etching, with or without bonding; and the use of lasers as an alternative to mechanical preparation. The objective of this study is to evaluate pit and fissure sealing by comparing the retention and microleakage of sealants, between mechanical and Er:Yag laser enamel preparation. Methods: Sixty extracted sound third molars are classified into six groups: A, bur mechanical preparation and sealant application; B, bur mechanical preparation, etching and sealant; C, bur mechanical preparation, etching, bonding and sealant; D, laser mechanical preparation and sealant; E, laser mechanical preparation, etching and sealant application; F, laser mechanical preparation, etching, bonding, and sealant. Statistical analysis methods include Fisher’s exact test, a general linear model for one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) of multiple comparisons, and Bonferroni multiple comparison tests. Results: All the groups showed dye microleakage beneath the sealants. Less microleakage was observed for those that used bur rather than laser, 41 versus 44 specimens, respectively. The number of specimens without microleakage decreased as follows: group E (24), group A (18), groups B and F (17), group C (14), and group D (5). Retention was 100% in all groups except group D. Conclusion: Mechanical preparation increases retention of sealants, especially when etching material is used; additionally, bonding can help the retention. The best technique is mechanical preparation via laser and subsequent use of etching, without bonding prior to application of the dental sealant.
