A Multidisciplinary Approach for Full-Mouth Rehabilitation in Oligodontia: A Clinical Report J. Oral Implantol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-02-16 Estelle Demes, Nicolas Graillon, Franck Afota, Charles Savoldelli, Romain Lan
The absence of teeth in children due to congenital agenesis, syndromic or not, could lead to oral dysfunctions with general repercussions and sociopsychological problems. This case was a 17-year-old girl with severe nonsyndromic oligodontia who was missing 18 permanent teeth and had a class III skeletal pattern. It was challenging to provide functional and esthetically pleasing results in terms of

Neuropathic Pain After Dental Implant Surgery: Literature Review and Proposed Algorithm for Medicosurgical Treatment J. Oral Implantol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-02-16 Alp Alantar, Jacques-Christian Béatrix, Guy Marti, Guy Princ, Nathalie Rei, Patrick Missika, Pierre Cesaro, Jean-Pierre Lefaucheur, Marc Sorel
The objective of this study is to establish an algorithm for the medicosurgical treatment of dental implant-induced neuropathic pain. The methodology was based on the good practice guidelines from the French National Authority for Health: the data were searched on the Medline database. A working group has drawn up a first draft of professional recommendations corresponding to a set of qualitative summaries

Vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation using customized three-dimensionally printed polycaprolactone mesh in atrophic posterior maxillae: a case report. J. Oral Implantol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-02-16 Jin Young Park,Su-Hee Jeon,Joo-Yeon Lee,Ji-Man Park,Jae-Kook Cha
Polycaprolactone has exhibited expediency as a biomaterial for bone regenerative procedures preclinically. The present report of the two clinical cases in the posterior maxilla is the first to describe clinical application of a customized 3D printed polycaprolactone mesh for alveolar ridge augmentation. Two patients needing extensive ridge augmentation procedures for dental implant therapy were selected

Immediate Implant Placement in Posterior Sockets With Periapical Infection and Bone Defects: Three Case Reports. J. Oral Implantol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-12-01 Li Fu,Liuyi Du,Junnan Qi,Lin Wang,Yanmin Zhou
Immediate implant placement is considered a well-accepted procedure due to its advantages and predictable survival rates. However, data on immediate implantation in posterior sockets with infection and bone defects are limited. The purpose of this clinical report was to describe 3 cases of hopeless posterior teeth with periapical infection and relatively large destruction that were successfully treated

Immediate Implant and Customized Healing Abutment Promotes Tissues Regeneration: A 5-Year Clinical Report. J. Oral Implantol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-02-01 Francesco Corrado,Simone Marconcini,Saverio Cosola,Enrica Giammarinaro,Ugo Covani
Significant alveolar bone resorption follows tooth extraction. Immediate implant placement alone is not sufficient to prevent this phenomenon. The present study aims at reporting the clinical and radiologic outcome of an immediate implant with a custom healing abutment. In this clinical case, a fractured upper first premolar was replaced by an immediate implant and a customized healing abutment designed

Bone Substitutes Graft for Regeneration of the Anterior Maxillary Alveolar Process: A Systematic Review. J. Oral Implantol. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-02-01 Naida Zanini Assem,Victor Fabrizio Cabrera Pazmiño,Miguel Augusto Riquelme Rodas,Eliana Aparecida Caliente,Gisele da Silva Dalben,Simone Soares,Joel Ferreira Santiago,Ana Lúcia Pompéia Fraga de Almeida
The objective of this systematic review was to identify the available scientific evidence on bone substitutes (BSs) compared with autogenous bone grafts (ABGs) for regeneration of horizontal bone resorption in the anterior maxillary alveolar process, aiming at rehabilitation with endosseous implants. This review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines (2020) and registered in the database
