Despite the various barrier membranes proposed, one of the main challenges for guided bone regeneration (GBR) is space maintenance for large defects as well as ensure adequate blood supply. The presented feasibility case series aims to introduce an original titanium frame (TF) design, customized for each defect, as a modification of well-known principles and materials for GBR, for an enhanced and more predictable horizontal and vertical bone augmentation. Three patients with significant horizontal defects were treated with pre-trimmed TFs to create needed space, a 50%-50% mixture of autograft and bovine xenograft was placed, and then covered with collagen membrane. After 8 months of healing, the sites were reopened, the titanium screws were removed with the frame. An average of 8.0 ± 1.0mm horizontal and 3.0 ± 0.0mm vertical bone gain was achieved at the time of re-entry and implant placement surgery. Bone core biopsy was obtained during the implant placement. Histomorphometric analysis revealed that 42.8% of the sample was new vital bone, 18.8% was residual bone graft particles, and 38.4% was bone marrow like structures. After 3-4 months from implant placement, the implants were restored with provisional crowns and then finalized with zirconia screw-retained crowns. This case series suggests that GBR utilizing TFs with or without collagen membranes can be considered a suitable approach for horizontal and vertical bone augmentation. However, based on only three reported cases, the result should be carefully interpreted.
Successful bone augmentation relies on primary wound closure. Labial frenum is a soft tissue that connects the lip to alveolar mucosa or gingiva. However, frenum may exert biomechanical forces to the wound edge, causing wound instability. The aim of this study is to (1) review the frenum composition and classifications; (2) understand the significance of frenum in wound stability upon bone regeneration. An electronic search was conducted through the three online databases together with manual search on studies published until September 2022. A total of 300 articles were identified and 11 studies were included in this review. Two of the included six studies discovered that 35-37.5% of the labial frenum had muscle fibers. Other studies showed that labial frenum was mainly composed of connective tissue with elastic fibers. There are two widely used classifications for frenum based on morphology and position of attachment. No studies specifically evaluated the impact of frenum on bone regeneration. Frenum location intercorrelated with the amount of keratinized tissue, which could influence wound stability. A modified frenum classification for the edentulous ridge and a decision diagram to manage the frenum is proposed for research and evidenced practice.
Implants with deficient papillae and black triangle are common findings. The treatment of these esthetic complications is considered challenging, and with limited predictability. Therefore, the aim of the present report is to describe a novel technique for papilla augmentation (the "Iceberg" connective tissue graft [iCTG]) after extraction and interproximal bone reconstruction in the anterior region. A 35-year-old patient presented with a hopeless tooth with interproximal clinical attachment loss extending up the apical third of the adjacent tooth. Interproximal bone reconstruction was performed through alveolar ridge preservation by directly applying recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) to the exposed root surface of the adjacent tooth. A mixture of autogenous bone chips (obtained from the ramus) and bovine bone xenograft particles, previously mixed with the growth factor, was also used. The patient was able to come back for implant therapy only 2 years later. An incomplete regeneration of the interproximal bone was observed. Therefore, to compensate the interproximal deficiency, the iCTG approach, involving a double layer CTG with different origins, was utilized. Two small grafts from the tuberosity were sutured to the mesial and distal ends of a wider CTG harvested from the palate, aiming at gaining additional volume at the interproximal sites. The composite graft was then sutured on top of the implant platform, with the flap that was then released and closed by primary intention. After conditioning of the peri-implant tissues, the case was finalized with a satisfactory outcome. The described iCTG could be an effective approach for reconstructing peri-implant papilla following interproximal bone reconstruction.
Background: Multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGRs) are commonly treated with autogenous grafts. However, several intra- and post-surgical complications have been described following autogenous grafts, leading clinicians to explore the use of different biomaterials for the treatment of these conditions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the root coverage outcomes of a novel porcine-derived acellular dermal matrix (PADM) in combination with the tunneled coronally advanced flap (TCAF) for the treatment of MAGRs.
Methods: Ten patients with 33 type 1 recession defects (RT1) were treated with PADM, in combination with the tunneled coronally advanced flap (TCAF). The outcomes of interest included the mean root coverage (mRC), the frequency of complete root coverage (CRC), changes in keratinized tissue width, volumetric gain at the treated sites assessed with digital intraoral scanning, as well as patient-reported outcome measures.
Results: All treated sites healed uneventfully, and no complications were noted throughout the study. At 6 months, a statistically significant reduction in recession was noted at the treated sites, exhibiting an overall mRC of 89.14 ± 19.15% and a CRC of 72.7%. The average volume gain after 6 months was 26.28 ± 11.71 in mm3 (Vol) and 0.63 ± 0.28 in mm (ΔD). The region-specific volumetric analysis revealed an overall higher linear dimensional gain at the Mid-Root aspect (ranging from 0.72 mm to 0.78 mm when assessed 1-4 mm apical to the cemento-enamel junction) compared to the other regions.
Conclusions: The present study presents the clinical and volumetric outcomes of PADM, in combination with TCAF for the treatment of MAGRs. A significant amount of volumetric gain was also observed as a result of the treatment at 6 months, along with satisfactory, esthetic and patient-reported outcomes.

Successful rehabilitation of severely atrophic, short span edentulous ridges in esthetic can seldom be done without some form of vertical bone augmentation (VRA). The best available evidence shows guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures may provide a very predictable option with a reduced potential for complications compared to alternative options. The present case series presents a novel technique to achieve predictable VRA with low complication tendency using tenting screws and cross-linked resorbable membranes. Ten patients with severe vertical defects in the esthetic zone participated in this study (5 males and 5 females; mean age of 35y). Following a mean healing time of 9.3 months, the mean defect resolution was 80%, with a mean vertical bone gain was 6.2mm (SD: 1.61 95% CI). Only one case presented with a reduced defect resolution (50%) of the defect, however, the bone gain for this case was 6mm.
Robotic systems have revolutionized various industries, and dentistry is no exception. Recently, due to the robust advancements in artificial intelligence and technology, there has been a significant evolution of dental robotic systems, ranging from surgeon controlled, robot-assisted operations, to more autonomous processes. The present clinical case report describes a 1-year follow-up of the successful use of an autonomous dental implant robot system with an osseodensification (OD) protocol for implant osteotomy preparation, maxillary sinus elevation, and simultaneous implant placement at the maxillary second premolar site. A prefabricated provisional prosthesis was delivered immediately after implant placement, with final prosthesis delivery at 3 months. The findings from this report demonstrate the integration and clinical augmentation of more autonomous protocols in the field of implant dentistry using dental robots.

Extraction-site alveolar remodeling is a major concern due to negative volumetric hard and soft tissue changes that inevitably limit rehabilitation options and diminish esthetic outcomes. Surgical techniques employed to minimize alveolar dimensional changes are not always predictable. Utilizing a socket shield with an immediate surgical implant procedure helps maintain a thin portion of the root in the vestibular area and thus minimizes bone resorption, especially at the coronal cortical aspect. This case series assesses the dimensional changes in peri-alveolar structures via superimposition of the preoperative and 6-month postoperative 3D digital quantification of soft tissue. Fifty patients with 50 sites fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Implant survival was 100%, with no incidence of complications. Tissue changes were as follows: –0.85 mm at the mesial papilla, –0.95 mm at the distal papilla, –0.7 mm at both the vertical and horizontal central margins, –0.21 mm at a distance 4 mm from the margin, and –0.64 mm at the palatal central margin. The buccal contour was clinically convex in all cases. The site with highest frequency of > 1 mm of dimensional loss was the distal papilla (42% of sites), and the site with the lowest frequency was the point 4 mm from the midfacial margin (0% of sites).
Successful rehabilitation of severely atrophic, short-span edentulous ridges in esthetic regions can seldom be done without some form of vertical ridge augmentation (VRA). The best available evidence shows that guided bone regeneration procedures may present a very predictable option with reduced potential for complications compared to alternative options. The present case series presents a novel technique to achieve predictable VRA with a low complication rate using tenting screws and cross-linked resorbable membranes. A total of 10 patients (5 men, 5 women) with severe vertical defects in the esthetic zone participated in this study. Following a mean healing time of 9.3 months, the mean defect resolution was 80%, with a mean vertical bone gain of 6.2 ± 1.61 mm. Only one case presented with reduced defect resolution (50%); however, the bone gain for this case was 6 mm.
Purpose: To establish consensus-driven guidelines that could support the clinical decision-making process for implant-supported rehabilitation of the posterior atrophic maxilla and ultimately improve long-term treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Materials and methods: A total of 33 participants were enrolled (18 active members of the Italian Academy of Osseointegration and 15 international experts). Based on the available evidence, the development group discussed and proposed an initial list of 20 statements, which were later evalu-ated by all participants. After the forms were completed, the responses were sent for blinded ana-lysis. In most cases, when a consensus was not reached, the statements were rephrased and sent to the participants for another round of evaluation. Three rounds were planned.
Results: After the first round of voting, participants came close to reaching a consensus on six statements, but no consensus was achieved for the other fourteen. Following this, nineteen statements were rephrased and sent to participants again for the second round of voting, after which a consensus was reached for six statements and almost reached for three statements, but no consensus was achieved for the other ten. All 13 statements upon which no consensus was reached were rephrased and included in the third round. After this round, a consensus was achieved for an additional nine statements and almost achieved for three statements, but no consensus was reached for the remaining statement.
Conclusion: This Delphi consensus highlights the importance of accurate preoperative planning, taking into consideration the maxillomandibular relationship to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements of the final restoration. Emphasis is placed on the role played by the sinus bony walls and floor in providing essential elements for bone formation, and on evaluation of bucco-palatal sinus width for choosing between lateral and transcrestal sinus floor elevation. Tilted and trans-sinus implants are considered viable options, whereas caution is advised when placing pterygoid implants. Zygomatic implants are seen as a potential option in specific cases, such as for completely edentulous elderly or oncological patients, for whom conventional alternatives are unsuitable.

This study clinically and histologically evaluated the outcome of a porcineapatite xenograft used to elevate the maxillary sinus floor in a severely atrophic ridge. A two-stage crestal window sinus elevation protocol was conducted in 24 patients with crestal bone ≤ 2 mm. Highly porous porcine carbonate apatite moistened with saline solution was placed in the elevated sinus cavity as the sole grafting material. Bone core biopsy samples were taken at 6, 9, and 12 months after sinus augmentation surgery (at implant placement). Treatment outcomes were assessed using microCT (μCT) and histologic analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by post-hoc Dunn multiple comparison test. At 6 months after implant placement, all implants achieved good primary stability (insertion torque ≥ 30 Ncm) and successfully osseointegrated. The residual graft amount (mean ± SE) was low (11.91% ± 1.99%) at 6 months and further decreased (6.11% ± 2.64%) by 12 months. On the contrary, the amount of new bone detected was 18.94% ± 4.08% at 6 months and was significantly (P < .05) increased (40.16% ± 5.27%) at 12 months. Histologic assessment revealed osteoclasts actively resorbing the graft as well as osteoblasts actively forming new bone. In the severely atrophic maxilla, the porcine-apatite xenograft promotes new bone formation while being slowly absorbed. Within the limited sample size, the porcine-apatite xenograft seems to be a good graft material for crestal window sinus augmentation.
