Bone augmentation, especially vertical bone augmentation, has always been a difficulty and challenge in the clinical treatment of implantation. Although the bone block technique, which is now considered as the “golden standard” for massive bone grafting, and various bone augmentation techniques have been widely used and studied, every technique has some limitations, and there is no widely recognized optimal vertical bone augmentation technique at present. Therefore, the exploration of vertical bone augmentation technology also needs to be continued. In this paper, we will introduce a new vertical bone augmentation technique, the fence technique, which is a kind of guided bone regeneration technique by bending a titanium plate and fixing it on the bone defect area to support the osteogenic space. As a new technique, it inevitably has some disadvantages and limitations. In this paper, we also put forward an improvement of this technique, adopting full digital design and process to simplify and standardize this technique, adding a new idea and method for vertical bone augmentation..

Objective We aimed to determine the thickness of the labial plate in the esthetic area and functional area of normal occlusion and use CBCT technology to establish an image database of healthy young people in northeast China, providing a clinical reference for immediate implant placement. Methods Sirona, SL 3D (CBCT) technology was used to scan 200 young people. The best sagittal planes of 100 people were randomly selected for the measurement. The vertical distances of cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) square 4 mm (F₁), middle root (F₂), and apical (F₃) between the labial plate and the long axis of maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, first premolars, and second premolars were statistically analyzed by SPSS22.0. Results The labial thickness of the central incisor ranged from 0.5 mm to 0.75 mm, accounting for 34.5% and 27.5%. The labial thickness of canine and premolar ranged from 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm, especially for the canine, reaching 43.5%. The labial bone zone thickness of central incisors, lateral incisors, and canine at F₁ was significantly lower than that of F₃ (P<0.05), There were significant differences in the thickness of bone site at the three sites of different genders (P<0.05), and only the F₃ site of the central incisors and the second premolars had statistical differences between males and females (P<0.05). Conclusion The thickness of maxillary anterior teeth and labial bone wall of normal occlusion people in northern China ranged from 0.5 mm to 0.75 mm, and the anatomical structure of labial (buccal) bone was different in different tooth positions. The statistical difference of data was of clinical significance for immediate implant placement in anterior and functional areas.

Objective To investigate the short-term clinical effect of 3D-PITM in the restoration of severe alveolar bone defects. Methods Retrospective analysis of 15 objects who underwent the restoration of alveolar bone defeat by utilization of 3D-printing individualized titanium mesh (3D-PITM) combined with guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the Department of dental implantology of Affiliated Stomatology Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University since December 2020. Postoperative infection, 3D-PITM exposure, and patient satisfaction were evaluated and short-term bone augmentation was measured by digital technique. Results A total of 15 patients was included in the current study, none of them had a postoperative infection, only one of them had 3D-PITM exposure (6.0%). Patient satisfaction on the surgery process, postoperative reaction, and follow-up was evaluated to be 8.32±0.79. In 3 months, the average acquired horizontal bone augmentation was (3.02±1.52) mm (maximum at 7.53 mm), and average acquired vertical bone augmentation was (3.71±1.82) mm (maximum at 7.30 mm). Conclusion Utilization of 3D-PITM in the restoration of severe alveolar bone defeat was promising in short-term observations with low infection and exposure rate, and high patient satisfaction outcomes. However, long-term study on bone stability by 3D-PITM is also required.

Concentrated growth factor (CGF) is a third-generation self-contained platelet concentrate that contains a large amount of dense fibrin and a variety of growth factors. It is easy to preparation and low cost and meanwhile, it can also promote the healing of soft tissue and bone renewal. Recently, it is widely used in the field of implantation. At present, the research on CGF is mainly focused on the evaluation of bone-forming ability, but its soft tissue closure function also has a positive clinical significance. It not only can be used in alveolar ridge preservation, immediate implanting, but also in maxillary sinus floor augmentation. CGF can isolate the oral bacterial environment and promote faster healing of the wound. At present, there are only a few reports on this aspect of research with a lack of general summaries. Thus, this paper will summarize the CGF soft tissue closure function in the field of oral implantation.

In recent years, the rapid development of digital technology leads to great upgrading in dental technology and comprehensive changes in dental implantology. Dental implant placement through a digital implant surgical guide system brings many advantages, like keeping them minimally invasive, the reduction in operative times, and, mainly, a more safe application. However, the postoperative position assisted by the digital implant surgical guide still has a certain deviation from the ideal position of preoperative design. In the entire process of computer-assisted, digital implant guide surgery, from preoperative data collection, guide plate design, guide plate production and printing, to the operation process, multiple links may have an impact on the accuracy of implantation. The registration of digital impression data and CBCT in the design of digital implant surgical guides is considered to be one of the key technologies affecting the accuracy of static surgical guides. This review article introduces the current research status and error sources of registration technology of digital impression and CBCT, to provide beneficial references for oral clinical and basic research.
