Current status of dental implantation therapy for diabetic patients / 口腔疾病防治

@#In 2017, there were 451 million people (ages 18 to 99) with diabetes worldwide, and this number is expected to grow to 592 million by 2035. A series of complications in diabetic patients often leads to oral vascular and bone lesions. Therefore, dental implant doctors urgently need to understand the clinical characteristics of diabetes mellitus patients to provide the best treatment. For dental implant doctors, the following problems still exist in the treatment of diabetic patients with poor blood sugar control: ① alveolar fossa healing in diabetic patients is slow after extraction, and bone regeneration is often needed, which prolongs the treatment cycle and increases the pain of patients; ② the rate of new bone formation in diabetic patients after alveolar bone grafting is slow; ③ it takes a long time for the body to achieve effective bone bonding after dental implantation in diabetic patients, and the outcomes are poor; ④ the health of the tissue around dental implants is affected by blood sugar level, which is difficult to maintain in diabetic patients. Current studies suggest that the long-term success rate of implants is predictable in diabetic patients when blood sugar levels are well controlled (HbA1c < 6%). This article will review the current research status of dental implantation therapy for diabetic patients to provide a reference for clinical practice.

Estudos longitudinais e sucesso na implantodontia / Longitudinal studies and success rates in implant dentistry: a literature review

Atualmente, observamos maior procura pelos tratamentos através dos implantes osseointegráveis para a reabilitação dos dentes perdidos. Isto deve-se a uma crescente conscientização dos pacientes em relação ao sucesso e aos benefícios dos implantes. Com isso, torna-se fundamental a busca por técnicas, materiais e protocolos que forneçam maior segurança e previsibilidade aos tratamentos, bem como a necessidade da realização de mais estudos longitudinais. O primeiro estudo avaliando os implantes osseointegráveis foi publicado em 1981 e, desde então, inúmeros outros trabalhos foram realizados. Contudo, estudos longitudinais que realizaram um acompanhamento a longo prazo ainda são escassos. Desta forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar, através de uma revisão da literatura, a busca de estudos longitudinais avaliando o desempenho clínico dos implantes, bem como os parâmetros e as escalas de sucesso utilizados por eles.

Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for dental implant treatment to replace lost teeth. This can be due to great patient awareness about the related success and benefits of this therapy. Thus, the use of well-established materials, techniques, and protocols for predictable outcomes, as well as new longitudinal studies, is mandatory. The first study on osseointegrated implants was published in 1981 and since then several papers were presented. However, long-term studies are scarce. In this way, the aim of this paper is to review longitudinal studies regarding the long-term performance of dental implants along with its scales and parameters used to define success levels.

Evaluación clínico-radiográfica del éxito y supervivencia de implantes dentales con tratamiento de superficie e implantes con superficie torneada / Clinical-radiographic success and survival with implants dental surface treatment and surface turned

El objetivo principal del estudio fue evaluar la influencia del tratamiento de superficie del implante en el éxito y supervivencia de estos. Se evaluaron 24 pacientes que presentaban un total de 74 implantes dentales oseointegrados, 19 con superficie torneada y 55 superficie RBM® (Lifecore® Biomedical, Chaska, Minn). Los resultados obtenidos fueron una tasa de supervivencia de 98.18% para los implantes de superficie RBM®, 100% para los de superficie lisa y para el total de implantes 98.65%. La tasa de éxito para los implantes de superficie lisa fue 63.16%, para los de superficie RBM® 70.91% y para el total de implantes 68.92%; sin encontrar diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre estas. La pérdida ósea fue 1.82mm para los implantes de superficie torneada y 1.34mm para los de superficie RBM®, encontrándose esta diferencia estadísticamente significativa. Los resultados obtenidos indican que los implantes con superficie RBM® a comparación de los implantes con superficie torneada, presentan ventajas con respecto a la pérdida ósea marginal. También se observó que la variable que mayor influencia ejerce sobre la pérdida ósea marginal y el éxito del implante es el momento de la carga.

The principal aim of our study was to evaluate the survival and success rate of implants with treated surface (RBM®) and machined surface implants. 24 patients treated with 74 dental implants were evaluated. 19 machined surface implants and 55 RBM® surface implants (Lifecore® Biomedical, Chaska, Minn). The results were a survival rate of 98.18 % for RBM® implants, 100% for machined or smooth surface and 98.65 % and for the whole of implants. The success rate for smooth implants was 63.16% for RBM® implants was 70.91% and for the whole of implants was 68.92%. These results were not significantly different. However, peri-implant bone loss was significantly different between smooth implants (1.82mm) and RBM® implants 1.34. The results indicate that implants RBM present advantages with regard to the marginal bone loss. Also was observed that the load time is the variable that major influence has on the marginal bone loss and the implant success.

The success rate of Mg-incorporated oxidized implants in partially edentulous patients: a prospective clinical study / 대한치과보철학회지

PURPOSE: This study examined the clinical success rate of Mg titanate implants (M Implant system, Shinhung, Korea), which employ a Mg coating method, by evaluating the marginal bone loss and implant stability using radiographs and Osstell(R), over a 1 year. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The locations of the implants placement were divided into 4 areas; the maxillary and mandibular premolars and molars. In the maxilla, 8 and 9 implants were inserted in the premolar and molar areas, respectively. In the mandible, 11 and 51 implants were inserted in the premolar and molar areas. Marginal bone loss and ISQ of all implants (79) were measured after insertion, mounting the prosthetic appliance, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after loading. The marginal bone loss was measured from the radiograph using XCP bite, which was customized, and the implant stability measured using Osstell(R). Fisher's exact test (alpha=.05) was used to compare the success rates of each region. RESULTS: The mean marginal bone loss for the upper and lower jaws were 1.537 mm and 1.172 mm. The mobility showed a non-significant reduction or increase according with time. The success rates were accounted for 94.12% and 98.39% in the upper and lower jaws; the premolars and molars were accounted for 100% and 96.67%. The two cases of early failure resulted from failure of primary stability during implant insertion. The late failures were not observed for 1 year after adding a loading to the implants. CONCLUSION: The Mg titanate implant showed good primary stability and good clinical results in both healing and function.
