- Combined Host-Derived and Microbiological Biomarkers for the Detection of Peri-Implant Bone Loss: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Oct 20. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: While individual biomarkers showed limited diagnostic utility, combining multiple predictors significantly improved the ability to detect peri-implant BL. Combining IL-1β with either BoP or PPD significantly outperformed individual clinical measures but did not outperform the combination of clinical parameters, highlighting the potential of integrated biomarker and clinical parameter approaches as screening tools for detecting BL.

- Premature Occlusal Contacts Induce MRONJ in Osseointegrated Dental Implants: An Experimental In Vivo Study. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Oct 20. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that POC contributes to peri-implant osteonecrosis under ZOL treatment, supporting occlusal trauma as an important local factor in MRONJ development around osseointegrated dental implants.

- Masseter Muscle Volume and Cross-Sectional Area as Risk Factors for Late Mechanical Dental Implant Failure: A Matched Case-Control Study. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Oct 19. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: Greater masseter muscle volume and CSA were significantly associated with late mechanical implant failure in this matched case-control study. The proposed cut-off values may provide preliminary reference values for risk stratification. However, these findings should be regarded as exploratory and require prospective validation in independent cohorts before routine clinical implementation.

- Inflammasome-Related Transcriptomic Profiles in Periodontitis and Peri-Implantitis Reveal a Shared Inflammatory Framework: A Cross-Sectional Study. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Oct 14. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: Periodontitis and peri-implantitis share a substantial inflammasome-related host-response framework. Rather than revealing a distinct inflammasome program, peri-implantitis exhibits a largely overlapping molecular profile that occurs within a clinically more severe and structurally more disrupted lesion environment. These findings suggest that the biological distinction between the two diseases may lie less in pathway identity than in the tissue context in which a shared inflammatory machinery is expressed.

- Three-Year Follow-Up of Clinical, Radiographic, and Patient-Reported Outcomes for Zirconia and Titanium Implants in the Posterior Region: A Randomized Controlled Trial. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Oct 11. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: Zr and Ti implants showed similar peri-implant health, marginal bone stability, esthetic outcomes, and patient satisfaction after 3 years. Zr implants, however, demonstrated a slightly lower survival rate and more chipping.

- Short Dental Implants as Strategic Support for Removable Partial Dentures in Mandibular Free-End Situations: A 3-Year Prospective Cohort Study. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: Strategic placement of 6 mm short dental implants represents a viable treatment option for converting Kennedy Class I RPDs into implant-assisted RPDs, with high survival rates and stable peri-implant parameters in the 3-year follow-up.

- Risk Factors for Implant Failure and Peri-Implantitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Sep 25. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: Implant failure and peri-implantitis are associated with distinct, potentially modifiable patient- and treatment-related factors. Recognition of these factors may help identify patients and implants at increased risk of adverse outcomes.

- Cleaning Efficacy and Surface Alterations of Titanium and Zirconia Implant Abutments Following Mechanical Instrumentation: An In Vitro Study. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Sep 25. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: All mechanical instrumentation modalities altered titanium and zirconia surfaces to varying degrees. On titanium, EPAP was associated with a favourable combination of high cleaning efficacy and preserved native surface morphology. On zirconia, both air-polishing modalities achieved high cleaning efficacy with minimal topographical alteration.

- Real-World Implant Survival in the Esthetic Zone: Uncovering Timing-Specific Risk Patterns in a Large Cohort. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Sep 24. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: Implant survival in the anterior maxilla was high, but failure risk differed by phase. Short implants (≤ 8 mm) were associated with failure across all phases, while immediate restoration was associated with early failure and smoking with late failure.

- The Long-Term Impact of Single Implant-Supported Crowns on Adjacent Natural Teeth: A Retrospective Longitudinal Study. [Journal Article]Clin Oral Implants Res. 2026 Sep 24. [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: Single implant-supported restorations significantly elevate the incidence of caries, new restorations, and tooth loss in adjacent teeth relative to controls. While adjacent tooth loss is predominantly an acute short-term risk localized to distal teeth, susceptibility to carious lesions and restorative interventions represents a persistent, long-term morbidity.

- CONCLUSIONS: At 1 year, ⌀3.3 mm and ⌀4.1 mm hydrophilic Ti-Zr implants demonstrated no statistically significant difference in MBL although ⌀4.1 mm implants demonstrated higher stability. Patient-reported chewing ability improved substantially following rehabilitation for both implant diameters. Higher HbA1c was associated with greater odds of clinically relevant MBL.

- CONCLUSIONS: Accuracy varied by guidance level. Fully guided workflows provided the highest trueness and precision and most consistent vertical platform positioning. Greater plan-to-implant accuracy was not accompanied by improved inter-implant parallelism, indicating that these outcomes should be evaluated separately.
