    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Abstract340)      PDF (1381KB)(821)       Save
    Peri-implantitis is a biofilm-mediated pathological condition of peri-implant tissue, characterized by inflammation in peri-implant mucosa accompanied by progressive loss of supporting bone around dental implants. It is the main reason that affects the long-term result of dental implant restoration, which might eventually lead to implant failure. Implant surface decontamination is the key to the management of peri-implantitis. Non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment have both been used in clinical practice, but there is no gold standard protocol for implant decontamination. Therefore, it is of great significance to compare the characteristics of implants with and without peri-implantitis to understand the decontamination strategy for infected implant surfaces, which can provide a reference for clinicians in the decision-making when managing peri-implantitis.

    With the development of dental technology, dental implants are gradually becoming the primary choice for restoring missing teeth. The quality and quantity of the alveolar bone are key to the success of implant surgery and the long-term retention of the implants. Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and a reduction in bone density, affecting bones throughout the body, including the alveolar bone. Therefore, its characteristic oral manifestations can be indicative of an early diagnosis of osteoporosis. At the same time, the changes in bone density and bone structure in osteoporosis patients necessitate awareness of the treatment risks during implantation and modification of the treatment plan to improve the success rate of implant treatment. This article reviews the oral manifestations of osteoporosis, the risks of implant treatment, and the consideration for implant treatment through a literature review.

    Abstract625)      PDF (2405KB)(752)       Save
    This paper presents a case of digitally assisted immediate implantation through impacted teeth in the aesthetic area. The patient had a root fracture caused by an upper anterior teeth trauma. One impacted canine and two impacted supernumerary teeth were found in the bone on the root side of the affected teeth. During treatment, under the guidance of the digital surgical guide plate and assistance by Er : YAG laser, immediate implantation through the impacted teeth was achieved. At the same time, autologous bone grafting material and platelet-rich fibrin were mixed for bone grafting at the two implant sites. Provisional and permanent restorations were completed with digital technology at 5 months and 8 months after the first stage of surgery, respectively. Postoperative CBCT showed that the implants penetrated through the crown, apical cementum, dentin, and pulp of the impacted teeth. No pain or other complications were found during the follow-up visit. There were no clinical symptoms at the 18-month follow-up visit. CBCT images showed that the bone density around the implants had increased and the lamina dura had formed. In this case, immediate implantation through the impacted teeth in the aesthetic area was realized with the digital assistance, providing a new clinical idea for the selection of treatment options for impacted teeth and increased clinical data for other healing forms of implants besides osseointegration. However, the clinical effect of this kind of operation still needs long-term follow-up observation.

Methods A search using the combination ("hypodontia" OR "oligodontia" OR "anodontia" OR "tooth agenesis" OR "congenitally missing teeth") AND "dental implant*" was used in databases such as PubMed, with a time frame from February 2014 to February 2024. The literature was screened according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the bibliographies of the selected research articles were manually searched. Results A total of 34 prospective/retrospective studies and some case reports on implant restorations in congenitally edentulous patients were finally included. It was found that the overall implant survival rate in these patients was high, with an average of 96.53%, depending on individual patient factors and treatment techniques. Congenital edentulism was categorized into simple congenital edentulism and syndromic congenital edentulism, with survival rates of 97.32% and 95.54%, respectively, based on the relationship with systemic diseases. There were slight differences in implant survival rates between different age groups, with 93.82% for patients aged 17 years and younger, and 96.83% for adult patients aged 18 years and older. The maxillary lateral incisors, with a high rate of congenital defects involving the anterior esthetic zone, had an ideal implant survival rate (98.48%). The implant survival rate for congenitally edentulous patients combined with bone augmentation techniques was 96.19%. The survival rates for zygomatic implants and small-diameter implants (or mini-implants) were 98.18% and 97.18%, respectively. Conclusion Implant surgery is a better solution to restoring oral function in congenitally edentulous patients. However, it still needs to be analyzed according to the patient's situation to improve the implant survival rates and the success of implant restoration.

    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 sinus membrane perforation rate was 1.89%. 2 implants were lost in 6 months after surgery, yielding a cumulative implant survival rate of 96.23%. The remaining implants exhibited favorable IST values 77.61±4.78 at 6 months post-surgery, and no peri-implant inflammation was observed during the follow-up period. Conclusion The osseodensification technique may achieve optimal clinical effects for transalveolar sinus floor elevation. The technique exhibits acceptable short-term outcomes, while further studies on long-term clinical effects are required.

    Adequate bone volume is crucial for the successful placement and long-term stability of dental implants. Therefore, the reconstruction of severe alveolar bone defects hold significant clinical importance. With the development of guided bone regeneration (GBR) techniques, various GBR approaches have been applied in clinical practice to address alveolar bone defects. Based on the concept of "stability-centered" alveolar bone reconstruction, we developed a series of Tent-Peg medical products and established a new Tent-Peg technique. This technique enables the reconstruction of severe alveolar bone defects without the need for autologous bone, providing a novel solution for both the functional and aesthetic reconstruction of such defects. This innovative method has been successfully validated in clinical practice, and its appeal lies in its "three lows" (low technical sensitivity, low failure rate, and low cost) and "three easies" (easy to operate, promote, and popularize). To enhance clinicians' understanding of this innovative technique, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the Tent-Peg medical product series and highlights the advantages of the new Tent-Peg technique, supported by clinical case demonstrations. This overview aims to promote the standardized application of this technique in clinical practice.

    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.

    With the widespread adoption of implant technology, ensuring the safe implementation of implant surgery for patients with complex systemic diseases has become a challenge that implant dentists must confront. Based on the patient's physical condition, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classifies the perioperative risk. Patients at ASA Ⅰ~Ⅱ have an extremely low risk of surgery, while those at ASA Ⅳ and above have a very high risk and are not suitable for surgery. How to assess perioperative risks, perform implant surgery, and reduce serious perioperative complications for ASAⅢ patients is a question that more and more implant doctors are focusing on. This article aims to start with the most common clinical patients with cardiovascular diseases at ASAⅢ, exploring the risk assessment, prevention, complication management of oral implant surgery for such patients, providing a reference for the safe implant restoration for this category of patients.

    "Improved" maxillary sinus lift surgery
    Sun Xiaolin, Luo Jiaxin
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (2): 118-126.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.04.005
    Abstract468)      PDF (1637KB)(686)       Save
    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.

    Bao Yuejie, Zhan Pingping, Lin Zhihao, He Gang
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2024, 29 (6): 543-548.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.12.013
    Abstract395)      PDF (2026KB)(674)       Save
    This article introduces a surgical approach for the simultaneous management of maxillary sinus cysts and sinus floor elevation using the double-window technique. The first lateral window is created to elevate the Schneiderian membrane and establish space for bone augmentation. Once the membrane is fully elevated and remains intact, a second small lateral window is created above the first to remove the cyst. The two windows are separated to prevent contamination of the graft material by the cystic contents. Additionally, a conservative surgical approach for the palliative treatment of sinus cysts is presented. Three representative cases are described to demonstrate specific techniques and surgical methods.

    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.

    Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disease with the main characteristic of reduction of bone density and low bone mass. With the increasing age of the population, the incidence of OP increases year by year. Replacement of missing teeth with dental implants is one of the most common treatment options with a high success rate. However, in patients with OP, deterioration of bone tissue may lead to an increased risk of implant failure. Although OP is not a contraindication for implant therapy, clinicians should still pay great attention to associated risk factors. This article discusses the alveolar bone modeling and remodeling, the success rates of dental implants, the influence of anti-osteoporosis drugs, and the strategy of dental implant treatment in OP patients for clinical reference.

    Sun Fei, Wang Cui, Hu Wenjie
    Chinese Journal of Oral Implantology    2023, 28 (6): 417-423.   DOI: 10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2023.12.005
    Abstract491)      PDF (1568KB)(651)       Save
    Objective To evaluate changes in clinical parameters using Er, Cr: YSGG laser compared to submucosal debridement for the non-surgical treatment of early peri-implantitis. Methods Twenty-eight patients and 28 implants with early peri-implantitis were recruited. The patients were randomly divided into a test group and a control group. The test group (14 subjects/14 implants) was treated with Er, Cr: YSGG laser, and the control group (14 subjects/14 implants) received mechanical submucosal debridement using a titanium curettage and chlorhexidine irrigation. Clinical parameters, such as modified plaque index (mPI), peri-implant pocket probing depth (PD), and bleeding index (BI), were measured at baseline, 2 months, and 3 months after treatment. Differences in clinical parameters before and after treatment were compared. Results The mPI, PD and BI of both the test group and control group significantly reduced at 2 and 3 months after non-surgical intervention (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the test group significantly achieved a reduction in BI value at 2 and 3 months after treatment (1.67 ± 0.45 vs. 2.40 ± 0.55, P=0.001; 1.07 ± 0.38 vs. 2.09 ± 0.83, P<0.001). Both the control and test group exhibited comparable mPI and PD reductions ( P>0.05). The treatment success rates were 28.6% and 7.1% at the patient level ( P=0.037) and 70.2% and 48.8% at the site level ( P=0.012), respectively. Conclusion Er, Cr: YSGG laser for the treatment of early peri-implantitis may be used as an alternative to hand instrumentation to reduce soft tissue inflammation.
