    Oral implant therapy is one of the most common methods for restoring defective and missing dentition. Peri-implantitis is a prevalent biological complication of implant therapy, characterized by inflammation of the peri-implant mucosa and subsequent progressive loss of supporting bone. The occurrence of peri-implantitis can impact the prognosis of implant restorations or even lead to implant failure, significantly affecting the patient's health and quality of life. Therefore, reducing the risk factors of peri-implantitis, timely diagnosis and effective treatments are of great importance to enhance the prognosis of implant therapy. This review describes the factors influencing the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis, the current diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic methods. Furthermore, it discusses emerging treatment modalities with potential clinical applications and reviews ongoing research progress.

    The technique of TPP (T:maxillary tuberosity,P:pterygoid plate,P:palatine) implants has been proposed, that the pillar composed of maxillary tuberosity,the pyramidal process of the palatineand the pterygoid process of the sphenoid in pterygomaxillary region can provide a certain volume of compact bone. Inclined implants of 30-50 degrees are placed in pterygoid region. As it is located in the end of distal part of maxilla, the distal cantilever of the prosthesis is completely eliminated. TPP implants with good initial stability are often applied in combination with the implants in anterior and bicuspid areas to provide favorable conditions for immediate loading. This technique can be applied for immediate implant and immediate restoration of maxillary complete arch or unilateral multiple posterior teeth loss with alveolar bone atrophy. Furthermore,the success rate is high (>90%). Due to avoiding the procedure of bone augmentation approach in maxillary sinus region and simplifying the procedure of implant surgery, it could reduce the trauma of patients, relieve postoperative reaction and pain, shorten the course of treatment and provide a new clinical solution for patients with insufficient bone in maxillary posterior area, especially for the patients who can not undergo bone graft procedure. However, clinicians still face many difficulties achieving effectively clinical application of this technique, including standard surgical protocol, the correct position of the placement site, preoperative evaluation, the design of length and placement angle, the safety procedure of the surgery and implant direction control and risk management, etc. Our team established standard surgical protocol of TPP technique for immediate implant and immediate loading with severe bone deficiency in maxillary posterior area. We sincerely hope that the article will provide a reference and basis for clinicians when applying the technique to avoid complex operation and complications related to bone augmentation, popularize the clinical application of the technique.

    Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) are the most common surgical procedures for soft and hard tissue regeneration in the field of dentistry. After decades of clinical applications of these techniques, challenges of esthetics and function rehabilitation have triggered the development of numerous bone or soft tissue subsitutes. However, the existing allograft or xenograft materials still carry potential risks of cross-infection and immune rejection,and for barrier membranes, acceptable mechanical strength and biodegradation may not be both achieved in most cases. These years, autologous platelet concentrates have emerged as innovative graft materials and come into common use due to the easiness of preparation, excellent biocompatibility and regenerative properties. Concentrated growth factor (CGF) is a new generation of platelet concentrates. The fibrin matrix scaffold inside is much stiffer than its previous generations, while the richer growth factors, cytokines and cells it contains better promote cell proliferation and differentiation, extracellular matrix synthesis and angiogenesis. This article reviewed the characteristics of CGF in terms of bone and soft tissue augmentation in oral cavity and its related research progress in dental clinics.

    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.

Methods Databases, including PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials, were searched by two independent researchers, for published articles on titanium mesh exposure after GBR. This study selected English articles published from January 1st, 2011 to December 31th, 2021. Stata 16.0 software was used to systematically analyze the research data that finally met the inclusion criteria. Results A total of 962 articles were found, and 9 of which were quantitatively analysed. The combined value of the total exposure rate of titanium mesh was 0.37(95% CI=0.31~0.42). The result of subgroup analysis showed that the combined value of the customized titanium mesh exposure rate was 0.20(95% CI=0.13~0.27) and the combined value of the traditional titanium mesh exposure rate was 0.60(95% CI=0.52~0.68). Conclusion The exposure rate of customized titanium mesh is lower than that of traditional titanium mesh, which is of great significance to provide sufficient grafting space for accurate bone reconstruction in GBR.

    The key of maxillary sinus floor elevation through lateral window approach is to expose and lift the sinus membrane, and the design of bone window is the primary factor to expose the sinus membrane. The traditional bone window is designed as a single and large window. If there is a sinus septum, 2 or 3 bone windows will be designed to avoid sinus septum. The lower boundary of the bone window is generally 3-5 mm at the bottom of the maxillary sinus. In recent years, many scholars have continuously studied the size, height, and distance from the alveolar ridge border, which has reduced intraoperative and postoperative discomfort and increased patient satisfaction. This article reviews the size, position, and shape of the bone window and digitally assisted lateral window osteotomy by consulting the recent literature.

    Due to the surrounding complex anatomical structures and the limited volume of zygoma bone, zygomatic implant placement is a highly technique-sensitive surgery. Clinically, applying a dynamic navigation system enables doctors to complete the implant placement under real-time monitoring, minimizing surgical risks and realizing preoperative planning. However, the dynamic navigation system still has an inevitable error caused by the type, distribution, and the number of registration markers, which will affect the registration accuracy, affecting the dynamic navigation accuracy at the surgery. The reduced precision of dynamic navigation surgery can cause serious surgical complications of zygomatic implant surgery. Furthermore, the operator’s familiarity with the dynamic navigation surgical process and proficiency in the zygomatic implant surgery may impact the final accuracy. This article summarizes the standard procedures and relevant factors that affect the accuracy of zygomatic implant surgery with a dynamic navigation system.

    Objective To evaluate the long-term clinical efficacy of restoration abutments with different transgingival heights after 5 years of implant restoration. Methods Patients who underwent implant restoration for dental defects in the Department of Stomatology, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2015 to September 2015 were selected and divided into four groups according to the different transgingival heights of the restoration abutment selected when the final restoration was completed: Group A (≤1 mm), Group B (2 mm), Group C (3 mm), Group D (4 mm). According to the grouping situation, measurement was performed immediately after the implantation, when the final restoration was completed, and at least 5 years after the restoration using curved tomography to analyze the changes in the bone tissue at the implant neck. Results During the observation period, after at least 5 years of functional loading, the success rate of 63 implants was 96.83%. Among the four groups, the amount of bone tissue absorption around the implant in group A [T2-T1:(-0.627 ±1.030) mm]and in group B[T2-T1:(-0.017±0.424 )mm]was statistically significant (P<0.05). The relationship between the prosthetic abutment with different transgingival heights and the exposure of the implant neck platform was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For self-locking taper-retained implants, when the final restoration is completed, the choice of restoration abutments with different gingival heights will have a certain impact on the absorption of bone tissue around the implant. Long gingival restorations are used under the same implant depth. The table can reduce the exposure of the implant neck platform after functional weight-bearing, thereby reducing the risk of infection of the implant from the surrounding environment.
