- Fifteen-Year Follow-up of Short Dental Implants in the Completely Edentulous Jaw: Submerged Versus Nonsubmerged Healing. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Short dental implants could be predictably indicated to support fixed complete dentures. The implants could be placed through a 1- or 2-stage surgery.

- Effect of 5 Popular Disinfection Methods on Microflora of Laboratory: Customized Implant Abutments. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: All the methods could decontaminate machined titanium surfaces, although complete microbial elimination was not achieved by diode laser. None of the treatments altered surface roughness significantly, except for sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).

- Indirect Sinus Augmentation With and Without the Addition of a Biomaterial: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial. [Randomized Controlled Trial]
- CONCLUSIONS: The addition of a biomaterial (Acemannan) with indirect sinus augmentation and simultaneous implant placement significantly enhances bone formation at 3 and 6 months postsurgery.

- Chemical Stability and Antimicrobial Activity of Plasma-Sprayed Cerium Oxide-Incorporated Calcium Silicate Coating in Dental Implants. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The cerium oxide-incorporated calcium silicate coatings (CeO2-CS) may promote the osteoblastic differentiation of osteoblasts. Meanwhile, the cerium oxide-incorporated calcium silicate coating (CeO2-CS) showed strong antimicrobial activity on E. faecalis, with good biocompatibility.

- Accuracy of Computer-Guided Template-Based Implant Surgery: A Computed Tomography-Based Clinical Follow-Up Study. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Great accuracy was reached even in advanced cases with prior bone augmentation and complex traumas. This leads to the conclusion that particularly in advanced cases, computer-guided implantation can be beneficial.

- The Effect of One-Abutment at One-Time on Marginal Bone Loss Around Implants Placed in Healed Bone: A Systematic Review of Human Studies. [Systematic Review]
- CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of the present review, it can be suggested that minimizing the number of abutment dis- and reconnections would be beneficial to ensure minimal disruption to the peri-implant tissue and marginal bone level. However, the clinical significance of the marginal bone level changes is still inconclusive.

- Thermal Testing of Titanium Implants and the Surrounding Ex-Vivo Tissue Irradiated With 9.3um CO2 Laser. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Laser irradiation of titanium implant surfaces using a 9.3-μm carbon dioxide laser with an average power of 0.7 W showed no increase in thermal temperature of the implant body and tissue temperatures as well as no evidence of implant surface damage.

- Fracture of Zirconia Abutments in Implant Treatments: A Systematic Review. [Systematic Review]
- CONCLUSIONS: Lower fracture rates were reported for internal connection with metal component (2-piece) zirconia abutments compared with external and internal full-zirconia connection (one-piece) zirconia abutments. Overpreparation and overload should be avoided in case of zirconia abutments.

- Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Evaluation of the Submandibular Fossa in a Group of Dental Implant Patients. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Mandibles with any lingual concavity pose a potential increased risk of lingual cortical perforation during surgery. This study revealed that the alveolar bone resorption occurs both vertically and horizontally, and the preservation of teeth can limit the bone resorption.
