Implant therapy has been developed as a routine modality for restoration of tooth missing with high predictability of treatment outcomes in a short or long run, based on rapid advancement of technology and innovation of treatment concepts. Contemporarily, restoration-driven implant placement is the fundamental principle, which has played an essential role in the progress of implant dentistry. Nonetheless, implants are artificial entities completely different from the natural teeth, especially with respect to the biological characteristics of implant-tissue interactions. The paradigm of implant treatment, thereby, should take these specific biological patterns of implant interface into consideration, not only satisfying the requirements of spatial positions of implants. This is the reason behind the necessity to propose the concept of biological-driven implant therapy. Starting from the predominant hypothesis of biofilm-induced periimplantitis, this article will comprehensively review the diversity of factors revealed that might induce or increase the risk of periimplantitis, including bacterial or non-bacterial factors, and elucidate thereafter the logical trend for the paradigm shift from restorative-driven to biological-driven implant therapy. The fundamental definition of biological-driven concept will be clarified and periimplantitis-related factors be discussed, eliciting a novel strategy for clinical prevention of periimplantitis.

Maxillary molars with severe periodontal lesions are often accompanied with bone defects even reaching the corresponding maxillary sinus floor. These bone defects will increase the difficulty and risk for implantation after the extraction of maxillary molars. The application of minimally invasive extraction with thorough debridement and site preservation of the maxillary molars can not only maintain the dimensions of alveolar ridge, but also reduce the requirement of sinus floor elevation.This paper illustrates the treatment procedures of implant replacement of a maxillary molar with severe periodontal lesions involving maxillary sinus floor using this technique.Changes of bone conditions were compared and analyzed in order to provide evidence and clinical experience for the management of similar cases.

This case aims to achieve functional oriented oral rehabilitation with implants based on integrated digital technology. The patient wore splint to restore masticatory function and parafunction were controllable. The position,direction and dimensions of the implants were designed taking into the consideration of contact point on occlusal surface, axial direction as well as bone volume. Treatment guide was printed under full digital workflow for implant placement and immediate loading. Six months later, occlusal data was obtained using facial scanner and jaw movement record system and then mounted on full adjustable articulator. Ttitanium framework and ceramic crown was fabricated after Wap-up designing process. In this case, function oriented implant placement and restoration was done effectively with fully digital work flow. Clinical outcome of occlusal rehabilitation was evaluated with T-scan and masticatory efficiency tester. Parafunction like bruxism was monitored closely. This method quantifies implant-supported reconstruction, which can better realize the patient's aesthetics and chewing functions, but it still needs further research on the accuracy of the digital production of the prosthesis.

Alveolar bone density is considered to be one of the most important factors affecting the clinical outcome of immediate implant restoration. The bone density can be used to predict the initial stability of the implant, so as to decide the preoperative plan, implant selection, surgical protocal for immediate implant treatment, and at the same time refine the indications of implant treatment from the perspective of bone density. A large number of studies have shown that imaging methods such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, panoramic X-ray film, periapical X-ray film, Micro-computed tomography, multi-slice computed tomography, cone beam computed tomography, etc., can assess the bone density of the recipient bone. However, the use of imaging methods to formulate the classification of bone mineral density used in clinical decision-making for immediate implant treatment of patients, especially in the treatment of patients with edentulous jaws, needs further research. This article reviews the research on obtaining bone mineral density data using imaging methods.

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.
