Research progress of superhydrophilic implants / 中国基层医药

In the past few decades, some studies reported that changing the specific surface properties of titanium implants, such as surface morphology, surface chemistry, surface charge and wettability, improved the bone bonding ability of titanium implants. Based on the existing evidence, this review paper analyzes the methods and characteristics of surface chemical modification of the superhydrophilic implants (Thommen INICELL?) that were listed in China in recent years, and clarifies the process of early osseointegration from the viewpoint of histomorphology, and evaluates its clinical application effects.

One-year retrospective radiographic assessment of marginal bone loss around basal implants and impact of multiple risk factors using multivariate analysis / Evaluación radiográfica retrospectiva de un año de la pérdida ósea marginal alrededor de los implantes basales y el impacto de múltiples factores de riesgo mediante análisis multivariado

Background: Factors like medical and periodontal conditions, implant location and smoking can affect marginal bone loss (MBL) of basal implants. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore the association of MBL with multiple variables including gender, age, smoking status, diabetes, implant placement protocol, location of implant, and type of prosthesis. Material and Methods: A total of 156 single-piece basal implants (Dr. Ihde Dental AG in Gommiswald, Switzerland) were placed in 44 patients. Dental panoramic tomographs were obtained postoperatively and following a one-year of service to determine MBL on mesial and distal sides. The association of MBL with the multiple variables was analysed using the multivariate and the random forest analysis. Results: The mean mesial and distal MBL was 0.64 millimetres. None of the implants presented MBL exceeding 1 millimetre. All implants were retained without complications during the firstyear of service. The MBL was remarkably associated with the smoking status, diabetes, location of implant and implant placement protocol. Diabetes mellitus is the most vital parameter in predicting MBL. Conclusion: The mean MBL of all implants did not exceed the threshold of 1 millimetre during the first year of service. When placing implants in patients who smoke and have diabetes, care should be taken.

Antecedentes: Factores como las condiciones médicas y perio-dontales, la ubicación del implante y el tabaquismo pueden afectar la pérdida marginal de hueso (PMH) de los implantes basales. Objetivo: La finalidad de este estudio es explorar la asociación de PMH con múltiples variables, incluido el sexo, la edad, el tabaquismo, la diabetes, el protocolo de colocación del implante, la ubicación del implante y el tipo de prótesis. Material y Métodos: Se colocaron 156 implantes basales de una sola pieza (Dr.Ihde Dental AG, Gommiswald, Suiza) en 44 pacientes. Se obtuvieron tomografías panorámicas dentales después de la operación y después de un año de servicio para deter-minar la MBL en los lados mesial y distal. La asociación de la PMH con las múltiples variables se analizó mediante el análisis multivariado y de bosque aleatorio. Resultados: La PMH media mesial y distal fue de 0,64 milímetros. Ninguno de los implantes presentó PMH superior a 1 milímetro. Todos los implantes se mantuvieron sin complicaciones durante el primer año de servicio. La PMH se asoció nota-blemente con el tabaquismo, la diabetes, la ubicación del implante y el protocolo de colocación del implante. La diabetes mellitus es el paráme-tro más importante para predecir la MBL. Conclusion: La PMH media de todos los implantes no superó el umbral de 1 milímetro durante el primer año de servicio. Se debe tener especial cuidado al colocar implantes en pacientes que fuman y tienen diabetes.

Bacterial Colonization and Dental Implants: A Microbiological Study

Abstract Objective: To compare colony forming unit (CFU) of oral bacterial from buccal mucosa and lingual buccal tongue among patients with a dental implant and normal oral hygiene individuals without a dental implant. Material and Methods: Twenty-six individuals with a dental implant and twenty-six individuals without dental implants were included in this study. The samples were sent to the laboratory to culture with Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHI), prepared serial dilution and then spread to the blood agar. CFU was counted when a single layer of bacteria is formed on the blood agar at any dilution level. An independent-T test was used to compare the means different of CFU oral bacterial between control and test groups from buccal mucosa and lingual buccal mucosa, respectively. Results: Buccal mucosa control group (186.19 ± 5.61) and test group (186.65 ± 6.24) (p>0.05). The result from the lingual buccal tongue control group (198.38 ± 6.12) and test group (197.96 ± 6.50) (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between the control group and test group CFU bacterial load. Conclusion: The presence of implants in the oral cavity do not interfere or worsen the oral condition; nevertheless, the effect of implants surrounding oral flora is similar to natural teeth.

Conclusion: Immediate placement of implants with 10% Aloe vera extract gel on extracted socket increases the number of osteoblasts and suppresses the number of osteoclasts and fibroblasts.

Evaluation of Frontal Teeth Stabilization after Root Apex Resection among the Ukrainian Young People

Objective: To develop a protocol of improved stabilization of teeth after root apex resection among young people using endodonto-endoossal implants and assessing its effectiveness. Material and Methods: Thirty-six patients were previously selected and divided into Group 1 (without additional stabilization) and Group 2 (with additional stabilization). The efficacy of treatment in both clinical groups was estimated at 90, 180 and 360 days, respectively. The results were evaluated on the Miller scale in the Flesrar modification. Density of bone tissue was expressed in Hounsfield units. Results: The average mobility indices over 90 days indicate a significant lower mobility of teeth in patients in Group 2, where as an advanced method, the RTR with an additional filling of the bone marrow defect with an osteoplastic material was chosen as the method of treatment (+ 18.0 ± 0.21 U.M. 10.0 ± 0.8 µm, p<0.05). In Group 1, 90 and 180 days after surgery, the density of bone tissue in the defect area was 756.3 ± 2.45 HU and 880.1 ± 4.34 HU. In Group 2, these indices were insignificantly higher and amounted to 834.3 ± 4.35 HU and 880.4 ± 2.56 HU. After 360 days after treatment in the first clinical group the bone density index was 957.4 ± 2.45 HU, while in the second group - 1003.3 ± 4.38 HU. Conclusion: The mobility of teeth among patients on 90-th day corresponded to level 1, and on 360-th day corresponded to level 0, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed method. The biomechanical stabilization of the teeth was confirmed by the results of densitometry among patients of both groups, in particular, the recovery of bone density in the affected site was observed after 360 days.

Clinical evaluation of two transalveolar methods for sinus augmentation with placing 1 204 implants immediately / 中华口腔医学杂志

Objective@#To compare the clinical outcomes of posterior maxillary implant surgery when using the regular transalveolar approach or with the crestal approach-sinus (CAS-KIT), a device for maxillary sinus membrane elevation by the crestal approach using a special drilling system and hydraulic pressure.@*Methods@#In this retrospective study 887 patients during Jan 2012 to July 2015 in Hangzhou Dental Hospital with underwent either regular transalveolar approach or CAS-KIT approach for maxillary augmentation; whereas 11 patients dropped out for the reason of serious membrane perforations. Totally, 876 patients with 1 204 plants, placed immediately after transalveolar maxillary augmentation, were included in this study. The data analysis was performed by radiological measures to assess the changes in height of maxillary sinus floor after the transalveolar augmentation at different time points. In addition, the complications after surgery, failure rates, osseointegration condition and the performance of rehabilitation were evaluated as well.@*Results@#Five hundred and three patients were experienced with regular transalveolar approach, and 7 patients were drop out for the serious membrane perforations. Thus, 496 patients received 653 implants in this group; the average lifted range in maxillary sinus floor height changes was (4.08±3.45) mm. The complications were minor membrane perforations during procedure in 64 patients, postoperative maxillary sinus infection happening in 2 patients and 13 patients experienced rehabilitation failure. Three hundred and eighty-four patients had CAS-KIT approach with 4 patients dropped out. Three hundred and eighty patients get 551 implants with the mean lifted range of (8.36±4.07) mm in maxillary sinus floor height changes. Minor membrane perforations during procedure occurred in 31 people and 2 got postoperative maxillary sinus infection. The 4 year overall survival rate of 1 204 implants was 97.26%, with four implants fell off after 3 months of rehabilitation and one implant occurred after one year of rehabilitation.@*Conclusions@#The regular transalveolar sinus lift technique is easier and time saving, but the compromised lifting range in maxillary sinus floor height and the comparatively high occurrence of intraoperative membrane perforations should be concerned. Using CAS-KIT could be an alternative method to perform maxillary sinus augmentation with a reduced incidence of complications. There was no statistically difference in implant failure rates and incidence of postoperative maxillary sinus infection between two groups.

Efetividade de parafusos com tratamento de superfície na estabilidade de pilares em zircônia após carga cíclica / Effectiveness of screw surface coating on zirconia abutments stability after cyclic loading

Com o objetivo de prevenir o afrouxamento, parafusos do pilar com lubrificantes sólidos de superfície foram desenvolvidos e introduzidos no mercado. Assim, foi proposto avaliar a efetividade de parafusos de liga de titânio com e sem tratamento de superfície sobre a estabilidade de pilares em zircônia (ZrO2) após carga cíclica, bem como observar alterações estruturais por meio de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Para isso, 20 pilares UCLA em ZrO2 foram fixados sobre implantes do tipo hexágono externo com torque de 20 Ncm e divididos em 2 grupos (n=10), conforme o parafuso do pilar: (A) pilar-implante e parafuso de liga de titânio (Ti); (B) pilar-implante e parafuso de liga de titânio com cobertura Diamond Like Carbon (DLC/Ti). O valor do torque reverso (pré-carga) foi mensurado antes e após o carregamento. O teste foi realizado de acordo com a norma ISO 14801. Cargas cíclicas (0,5 x 106; 15 Hz) entre 11 - 211 N foram aplicadas com 30º de inclinação em relação ao longo eixo dos implantes. As médias dos grupos foram calculadas e comparadas utilizando análise de variância de dois fatores e testes F (α=0,05). Os resultados mostraram que antes do carregamento a média do grupo Ti foi significativamente maior que a do grupo DLC/Ti (p=0,021). Após o carregamento ambas as médias 14 diminuíram significativamente, sem diferença significante entre elas (p=0,499). As imagens obtidas na MEV revelaram micro-fraturas na base de assentamento do pilar. Nas condições estudadas, concluiu-se que: (1) os parafusos estudados apresentaram efetividade similar com relação à manutenção da pré-carga; (2) a redução significativa no torque reverso e os danos observados na MEV indicam que o acompanhamento dos pacientes é necessário para assegurar a longevidade das restaurações de ZrO2 implanto-suportadas.

In an attempt to prevent screw-loosening problem, abutment screws with surface treatment were developed. Thus, the aim of the current study was to evaluate comparatively the effectiveness of titanium alloy coated screws and noncoated screws on the stability of ZrO2-ceramic abutments after cyclic loading, as soon as observe possible microdamaging in the structure of the components using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). For this, 20 prefabricated ZrO2-ceramic UCLA abutments were tightened to 20 Ncm on their respective external hex implants and divided equally into 2 groups (n=10), according to the type of screws used: (A) implant-abutment and noncoated titanium alloy screw (Ti); (B) implant–abutment and titanium alloy screw with Diamond Like Carbon surface coating (DLC/Ti). The reverse torque value (preload) of the abutment screw was measured before and after loading. The tests were performed according to ISO norm 14801. A cyclic loading (0,5 x 106; 15 Hz) between 11 - 211 N was applied at an angle of 30 degrees to the long axis of the implants. Group means were calculated and compared using ANOVA and F tests (α=0,05). The results showed that before cyclic loading, the mean of Ti group was significantly higher than the DLC/Ti group (p=0,021). After cyclic loading, both means decreased significantly, with no significant differences 16 between them (p=0,499). Under the studied conditions, it can be concluded that: (1) the two abutment screw types presented similar effectiveness in maintaining preload; (2) the significant decrease in reverse torque values and the microdamaging detected at SEM analysis indicate that patient follow-up is needed to ensure the integrity of the ZrO2-ceramic single-implant restorations.

Reabilitação de maxila atrófica com aconragem zigomática: relato de caso / Rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla with zygomatic anchorage: case report

A reabilitação protética de maxila atrófica representa um grande desafio para o cirurgião-dentista, mesmo após o advento dos implantes osseointegrados. Isso se deve ao fato de a maxila apresentar características anatômicas que dificultam o procedimento, tais como: osso predominantemente do tipo esponjoso (classe III e IV), proximidade da fossa nasal, seio maxilar e forame incisivo. Os pacientes portadores de reabsorção do processo alveolar, pneumatização exacerbada do seio maxilar para anterior e aqueles que sofreram grandes ressecções tumorais não são bons candidatos à instalação de implantes convencionais. Nesses casos, o tratamento seria baseado em grandes reconstruções ósseas, o que resultaria em alto grau de morbidade, aumento dos custos, diminuição da previsibilidade e necessidade de internação. A fim de solucionar os casos mais rapidamente e possibilitar a reabilitação de pacientes com defeitos maxilares, a ancoragem zigomática surge como alternativa cirúrgica com índices de sucesso próximo dos obtidos pelos implantes convencionais. O objetivo deste estudo é o de relatar um caso clínico de reabilitação de maxila atrófica, utilizando implantes zigomáticos bilaterais e implantes convencionais.

The prosthetic rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla represents a great challenge for the surgeon dentist, exactly after the advent of the osseointegrated implants. This if must to the fact of the jaw present anatomical characteristics that make it difficult the procedure such as: bone, predominantly, of the spongy type (classroom III and IV), proximity of nasal cavity, the sinus to maxillaries and the incisive foramen. The carrying patients of resorption of the alveolar process, exacerbate pneumatization of the sinus to maxillaries for previous and those that had suffered great tumor resection are not good candidates to the installation of conventional implantations. On these cases, the treatment would be based on great bones reconstructions what it would result in high degree of morbidity, increase of the costs, reduction of the previsibility and necessity of internment. In the intention of solve the case more quickly and make possible the reconstruction of defect maxillaries the zygomatic anchorage appear as alternative surgical for this patient present index of success next of the 97%, approach of the get for the implantation conventional. The aim of this study was to tell a clinical case of rehabilitation of atrophic jaw by using of zygomatic anchorage bilateral and conventional implants.
