    Significant progress has been made in the field of oral bone regeneration, with growing recognition of the pivotal role played by inflammation regulation. Temporal and contextual regulation of inflammation is essential for achieving successful bone repair. In the context of oral bone regeneration, biomaterials are employed as scaffolds/bone grafts to promote bone tissue formation in defect areas. The intrinsic properties of biomaterials may impact the inflammatory process and its regulation. Additionally, biomaterials can serve as carriers for immuno-modulatory drugs, further influencing bone regeneration. A comprehensive understanding of how biomaterials modulate inflammatory responses holds the potential to accelerate the development of novel bone regeneration materials. This review provides an overview of the current status of research on biomaterials in the context of oral bone regeneration and inflammation response, summarizing the laboratory advancements. The aim is to provide clinicians and researchers with a theoretical foundation for the selection and development of regenerative materials.

    Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the horizontal bone gain at the different levels of alveolar bone using a titanium screw as a reference plane by titanium mesh with tent screw and autologous bone grafting. Methods Sixteen patients and 23 measured points were enrolled in this study. CBCT data immediately and 6 months after bone grafting were measured at crestal (CW), midway (MW), and basal (BW) levels and reconstructed for area measurement using a titanium screw as the reference plane. The exposure of titanium mesh or not had been evaluated. Results There were no statistical differences between the titanium mesh and onlay grafting, and measured levels at CW, MW, and BW, the exposed titanium mesh and not exposed one. The width absorption ratio of titanium mesh and onlay grafting group or at CW, MW, and BW were almost the same. The area of bone gained and absorption ratio were almost the same without statistical differences. However, the width absorption ratio of the exposed titanium mesh at CW, MW, and BW was significantly higher than the not exposed one. Thin biotype was a main factor in the exposure of titanium mesh. The exposed titanium mesh at the late phase can also achieve clinically accepted bone gain after certain anti-inflammatory treatments. Conclusion Ti-mesh with tenting screw technique and autologous bone graft can achieve clinically acceptable bone augmentation effect. However, the absorption ratio significantly increased if exposed.

    Due to the prevalence of insufficient remaining alveolar bone or excessive expansion of the incisive canal in the maxillary central incisor region, the stability of implants may be affected. Titanium implants into incisor canals may cause a series of complications such as nasopalatine canal cyst, postoperative short-term sensory disturbance, implant failure, and so on. In order to solve this clinical problem, this study explored and practiced the application of bone substitutes in the incisive canal for implant placement. The application of various bone substitutes in the incisive canal for implant placement was reviewed and analyzed in this paper. Combined with a clinical case of bone substitutes used in the incisive canal for implant placement, the clinical effect of bone substitutes in the incisive canal for guided bone regeneration and implant placement was demonstrated. The implant osseointegration was good and the aesthetic outcome was satisfactory. Re-examination after 6 months showed that the soft tissue around the implant was stable and there was no obvious bone resorption. The use of bone substitutes to guide the internal osteogenesis of the incisive canal can provide three-dimensional bone support for the implant, which is helpful in obtaining good implant stability and anterior aesthetic effect. It has been reported in the literature that different materials, such as autogenous bone, allograft bone or mixed bone substitute, or autogenous bone mixed bone substitute, can achieve the internal osteogenesis of the incisive canal.

    Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy of applying the tent technique (TT) in alveolar ridge augmentation. Methods The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and SinoMed databases were electronically searched from April 1, 2002 to October 10, 2022 to identify clinical trials that employed TT in alveolar ridge augmentation. Results A total of 9 studies were included, of which 7 referred to horizontal ridge augmentation and 2 referred to vertical ridge augmentation. Meta-analysis indicated that TT had similar performance in horizontal ridge augmentation [ MD=0.89, 95% CI (-0.07, 1.85), P=0.07] and postoperative complications compared with guided bone regeneration (GBR) [ RR=3.90, 95% CI (0.85, 17.96), P=0.08]. Furthermore, TT had significantly less bone resorption than GBR and Onlay graft [ MD=-3.98, 95% CI (-6.32, -1.65), P=0.0008], which could obtain more vertical ridge augmentation than the latter [ MD=1.09, 95% CI (0.38, 1.81), P=0.003]. In terms of implant placement rate, their performance was as expected. Conclusion TT, as an alternative technique for alveolar ridge augmentation, achieves similar or better bone incremental performance than GBR or Onlay graft.

    Yang Feng, Wang Mengya, Yin Wenjie, Zhang Zheng, Chen Jiang
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (1): 16-23.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.02.004
    Abstract179)      PDF (1667KB)(163)       Save
    Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of occlusal characteristics on the biomechanical behavior of the implant-bone interface of a posterior implant-supported single crown under immediate loading, using finite element analysis. This aims to provide reference for the selection of clinical occlusal characteristics. Methods The finite element model of an implant-supported crown with immediate loading and surrounding bone was constructed using the interference fit method. Six different occlusal characteristics were designed according to natural teeth. Ansys Workbench 2021 R2 software was used to analyze the axial static loading of 200 N. All the data were evaluated using the comparative analysis method to assess the impact of different occlusal characteristics on implant-bone interface displacement and Von Mises stress. Results A-B-C occlusal contact produced the smallest displacement of the implant and surrounding cortical and cancellous bone (10.52 μm, 5.67 μm, 9.34 μm), while prosthodontic platform occlusal (3 points) contact produced the largest displacement of the implant, cortical bone, and cancellous bone (15.24μm, 8.94μm, 12.15 μm). Compared with other occlusal contact types, A-B occlusal contact produced the largest Von Mises stress in the implant (71.91 MPa), significantly reduced the maximum Von Mises stress in cortical bone and had the largest maximum Von Mises stress in cancellous bone ( 18.04 MPa, 17.81 MPa). Conclusion Different occlusal characteristics significantly affect the displacement and Von Mises stress distribution at the implant-bone interface under immediate loading, and also change the stress concentration sites. A-B-C occlusal contact is beneficial in reducing the Von Mises stress on the implant and surrounding bone tissues, while A-B occlusal design has a slight advantage in the axial transmission of occlusal force.

    Application and research progress of customized additive manufactured titanium mesh in bone augmentation for oral implantation
    Wang Lingxu, Wang Fangfang, Wang Penglai
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2023, 28 (5): 364-370.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2023.10.012
    Abstract166)      PDF (1348KB)(338)       Save
    Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a popular method for bone augmentation in oral implant restoration. Titanium mesh has become increasingly prevalent due to its excellent mechanical properties and support fixation. However, traditional prefabricated titanium mesh has limitations, such as poor fitting with the alveolar bone shape, which can result in complications such as wound tearing, mucosal damage, and titanium mesh exposure. Additive manufacturing technology, such as 3D printing, allows for the customization of customized titanium mesh with varying shapes, thicknesses, and porosity. This customized approach not only upholds the excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility of traditional titanium meshes but also achieves high-precision bone grafting through meticulous preoperative design and digital virtual reconstruction. Such an approach not only streamlines the surgical procedure and shortens surgery time, but also simplifies the surgeon’s operations and reduces trauma to patients. However, in clinical application, even though postoperative complications have decreased, issues such as the exposure of the titanium mesh persist and require careful attention. Despite the considerable clinical potential of titanium mesh from customized manufacturing, in-depth subsequent research is crucial to enhance its effectiveness. This article provides an overview of the current clinical application and research status of customized additive manufactured titanium mesh.

    Abstract150)      PDF (1552KB)(247)       Save
    Objective To assess the impact of different tapers and materials of abutments on peri-implant soft tissue attachment in vivo, and to select the best abutment taper. Methods Ti6Al4V and zirconia abutments with different tapers were prepared using CAD/CAM technology. The abutments underwent surface treatment and were placed into the oral cavities of animals. The animals were executed four weeks after healing, and the gingival attachment to abutments with different materials and tapers was observed using HE staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results Roughness Ti6Al4V Ra= 0.16 μm, zirconia Ra=0.34 μm. HE staining showed that there were more inflammatory cells in the 35° group than in the other groups, while there was no significant difference in the number and distribution of inflammatory cells in the 20°~ 30° groups, and the inflammation in zirconia group was more obvious than that in Ti6Al4V group. IHC staining demonstrated an immune response to laminin-5 at the interface between the abutment and the surrounding epithelium. The expression intensity reached its peak at 30° with the increase of the emergency taper. The expression in the zirconia group was weaker than that in the Ti6Al4V group. The MOD values (Mean Optical Density) of 20° to 40° were 0.27 ± 0.00, 0.29 ± 0.00, 0.35 ± 0.00, 0.24 ± 0.01 and 0.25 ± 0.01, respectively. The MOD values of Ti6Al4V and zirconia were 0.29 ± 0.00 and 0.20 ± 0.01, respectively. Conclusion The soft tissue attachment ability of the restorative abutment with 30° emergency taper was better, and the 3D-printed Ti6Al4V abutment was better than the digitally cut zirconia abutment.

    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (1): 49-55.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.02.009
    Abstract150)      PDF (1608KB)(239)       Save
    Objective To assess the clinical effects of concentrated growth factor (CGF) and free gingival grafting (FGG) in combination with Bio-Oss Collagen in extraction site preservation after maxillary molar extraction. Methods Thirty patients were randomly divided into two groups. The tooth sockets were filled with Bio-Oss Collagen, and then the wounds were closed using either CGF or FGG. Postoperative wound healing and the width of keratinized gingival tissue were observed, while CBCT was used to evaluate the changes in the alveolar bone and maxillary sinus floor. Results Group B exhibited a higher rate of wound healing compared to group A ( P<0.05). The width of keratinized gingival decreased by (0.79±0.16) mm in group A and (0.35±0.18) mm in group B, respectively ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding changes in alveolar bone or maxillary sinus floor ( P>0.05). Conclusion Both CGF and FGG combined with Bio-Oss Collagen effectively reduced bone resorption during ridge preservation after maxillary molar extraction, with no significant differences observed in alveolar bone or maxillary sinus floor changes between the two groups. However, FGG demonstrated better wound healing rates and less reduction of buccal keratinized gingival compared to CGF.

    Objective To investigate the clinical effects of the osseodensification technique applied to transalveolar maxillary sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement. Methods A total of 39 patients underwent transalveolar sinus floor elevation using osseodensification and implant placement in the Department of Implantology, Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2022 to May 2023. 21 cases were female, and 18 cases were male, with ages ranging from 21 to 73 years old and an average of (51.67±11.68) years old. Definitive prosthesis was delivered 6 months after implant surgery. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was conducted preoperatively (T0), postoperatively (T1), and at 6-month follow-up (T2), measuring residual bone height (RBH), vertical bone height (VBH), and bone density (BD) at the implant site. Implant stability test (IST), sinus membrane perforation rate, and implant survival rate (SR) were recorded and analyzed 6 months after implant surgery. Results A total of 39 patients underwent maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery with 53 implants placed simultaneously. Alveolar bone heights ranged from 3.38 to 9.40 mm at T0, with a mean of (6.16±1.00) mm, (11.25±1.10) mm at T1, and (10.36±0.99) mm at T2. Significant differences in alveolar bone height were observed among different observation points ( P <0.001). The BDT0, BDT1 and BDT2 were 196.65 Hu, 441.70 Hu, and 435.04Hu respectively. Significant differences in bone density between T0 and T1 ( P<0.0001) were found.

    The maxillary sinus floor elevation is a key technique for restoring the vertical bone volume in the patient’s posterior region. However, the maxillary sinus floor elevation still has limitations such as significant trauma, sometimes requiring a second surgical area, and a long treatment cycle. These limitations are closely related to its osteogenic mechanism and the bone augmentation protocol. The article summarizes the evolution of the “gold standard” of bone augmentation materials for maxillary sinus floor elevation from the perspectives of spatial maintenance ability and new bone formation quality based on the mechanism of sinus cavity osteogenesis, then focuses on the current clinical application status of simply using deproteinized bovine bone matrix, in order to provide ideas for standardized clinical treatment and conversion research.

    Computer-assisted technology has been applied in the field of implant surgery to improve the accuracy of implant placement and to achieve high success rate of implants and optimal aesthetic outcomes. There are two major types of computer-assisted implant surgery: static and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery. Static computer-assisted implant surgery uses a surgical template to transfer the pre-designed implant position to patient while dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery guides implant placement using real-time tracking and navigation. With the rapid development of digital technology, computer-assisted implant surgery has been more and more widely used in clinical practice. In this paper, the clinical procedures of static and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery are described. The accuracy of implant placement and factors influencing implant accuracy, clinical outcomes and patient-reported indicators of static and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery are analyzed.

    When posterior maxillary teeth are missing, the residual bone height required for implantation is insufficient due to the lack of functional stimulation from the teeth and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. When residual bone volume cannot ensure the initial stability of the implant, a maxillary sinus floor elevation is needed to increase bone volume in the posterior maxillary region. The "PESS" procedure is a "modified" maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery that uses platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a single bone graft material, with the aid of an endoscope to elevate the maxillary sinus floor through the alveolar ridge and place implants simultaneously. The PESS procedure has optimized maxillary sinus floor elevation surgery to some extent and reduced surgical trauma. This article elaborates on the principles, indications, clinical procedures, and precautions of the "PESS" procedure to provide technical support for its clinical application.

    Current research status of transalveolar technique for sinus floor elevation with simultaneous placement of dental implants
    Xia Haibin, Xu Junyi
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (2): 109-117.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.04.004

    When the residual bone height is insufficient in the maxillary posterior region, the transalveolar technique for sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement is less invasive, resulting in milder postoperative reactions and shorter treatment periods compared to the lateral window technique. However, due to the limited surgical vision and elevation technique, the transalveolar technique is susceptible to mucoperiosteal perforation or compromised osteogenesis and is therefore traditionally considered suitable only for cases where the residual bone height is mildly inadequate. With modifications to surgical instruments, improvements in clinical skills, and the assistance of digital technology, researchers have gained new insights into the indications and surgical protocols for transalveolar sinus floor elevation with simultaneous placement of dental implants. This paper presents an overview of the current basic and clinical research status of the transalveolar technique for sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implantation by reviewing recent literature.

    Objective By preparing polytetrafluoroethylene film on the surface of customized titanium mesh, the biocompatibility and antibacterial ability of the surface of customized titanium mesh were improved. Methods The surface of the customized titanium mesh was sandblasted to roughen the surface by alumina and air-sprayed with PTFE dispersion. The polytetrafluoroethylene film modified customized titanium mesh (PMTM) was obtained by sintering and heat curing. The experimental groups were selective laser melting printing untreated group (CON), mechanical polishing group (MP), low-grit sandblasting group (SB), titanium-reinforced dense polytetrafluoroethylene film group (TRDP). The surface morphology, roughness, hydrophilicity, functional groups and phase composition of the samples were analyzed. The number and morphology of bacteria adhering to the surface of each group of samples after co-culture with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were analyzed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial ability of polytetrafluoroethylene film modified customized titanium mesh. Results The polytetrafluoroethylene film with stable bonding and a high purity is formed on the surface of the PMTM group, which reduced the micron-scale roughness and is highly hydrophobic. The number of bacteria on the surface of the CON group was the largest ( P<0.001), and the numbers of bacteria on the surface of the MP and SB groups were lower. The PMTM and TRDP groups had the lowest bacterial adhesion, and their antibacterial adhesion effects were similar ( P>0.05). Conclusion The preparation of polytetrafluoroethylene film on the surface of customized titanium mesh can improve its ability to inhibit bacterial adhesion, which is an ideal surface treatment method for customized titanium mesh.

    Immediate implant placement is proven as a predictable surgical option with similar success rates, but shorter treatment time compared with delayed implant placement. It even allows for immediate restoration to meet the patient’s aesthetic needs with maximum preservation of hard and soft tissues. However, immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone is technically challenging due to the morphology of the extraction socket and various surgical factors. Conventional freehand manipulation struggles against the resistance of the dense palatal bone plate, potentially leading to aesthetic or biological complications when the implant deviates buccally. With the development and maturation of computer-assisted technology, digital implant guides have been widely used in implant surgery, which can significantly improve accuracy compared with freehand techniques. However, there is a paucity of studies that have reported the accuracy and influencing factors of immediate implant placement using these digital guides. This article reviews the accuracy and influencing factors of digital surgical guides for immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone.

    In the process of long-term functional use of implant-supported dentures, the occurrence of peri-implant biological complications is often difficult to avoid due to various factors such as the patient's overall health condition, surgical procedures, implant restorations, and prosthetic techniques. Additionally, during the long-term clinical follow-up of patients with aesthetic zone implant restorations, it is often observed that the incisal edge of implant restoration is positioned lower towards the root compared to the contralateral natural tooth, indicating implant infraposition. This article reports a case of aesthetic zone implant peri-implantitis combined with implant infraposition treated using platform techniques. In this case, non-surgical treatment was used to control inflammation in the surgical area before the surgery, and connective tissue platform techniques were employed during the surgery to increase soft tissue volume around the implant. Temporary restoration was performed after 3 months postoperatively, followed by the final restoration after 6 months. Short-term treatment results showed that for cases of aesthetic zone implant peri-implantitis combined with implant infraposition, the use of connective tissue platform techniques can effectively achieve soft tissue reconstruction in the surgical area and reduce aesthetic risks.
