What is the clinical performance and significance of complications and failures, when providing implant –supported reconstructions with either screw or cement retention?

There are no significant differences between the survival rates and failure rates of cement or screw retained abutments.

Possible complications for screw may include porcelain chipping at access hole.

Possible complication for cement may include excess cement causing biological complications

In what restorative situations may screw retained implant restorations be the treatment of choice and under what situations might cement retained implant restorations be the treatment of choice?

Screw retained:
-When retrievability is desirable
-When margins are submucosal (greater than 1.5 mm increases difficulty of removing cement) when the implant can be placed appropriately/prostheticaly driven

Cement retained:
-Esthetics
-Margins are supragingival
-When intact occlusal surface is desirable

Based on the best available evidence, does supportive periodontal therapy affect peri-mucositis/peri-implantitis, and how?

Yes, it does affect peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis, supported by the following evidence:
-High long-term survival and success rates of dental implants can be achieved in partially and completely edentulous patients adhering to regular SPT.
-SPT is associated with reduction in the incidence of peri-implant mucositits/peri-implantitis
-Patients with a history of periodontitis have a higher risk of peri-implant mucositis/peri-implantitis
-Active periodontal disease should be resolved prior to implant placement

What are the advantages and disadvantages of CAD/CAM abutments and frameworks for use in dental implant therapy?

Advantages:
Homogenous materials
Elimination conventional error
Rapid design
Comparable outcomes

Disadvantages:
Little documentation
Tooling/sintering misfit
Unreported bio implant

What are the suspected systemic risk factors for dental implants?

Systemic conditions:
-Periodontitis
-Smoking
-Mechanical design/materials (prefab components)
-Technical design/materials (Lab fabricated)
-Screw/cement/bruxism

What are the 4 suspected local risk factors for dental implants?

Local factors:
-interdental space
-tooth proximity
-tissue thickness/position
-bone quality

Have the survival rate of implant-supported prostheses and the incidence of complications changed since the year 2000? If yes, how?

-Studies prior to the year 2000 demonstrated lower five-year survival rate then do studies after the year 2000 this was statistically significant when considering implant supported fixed dental prostheses

-Prosthesis Survival, when considering implant-retained prostheses, has improved. Prior to 2000, cemented prostheses exhibited higher survival while more current studies show overall improvement in prosthetic performance with no significant difference between screw or cement retained

Is there a difference in 5-year implant survival associated with ceramic vs. metal abutments supporting single crowns?

Implant survival, overall = 96.9%
Implant survival, ceramic abutments = 95.8%
Implant survival, metal abutments = 96.9%
No difference between ceramic vs. metal

What are the anticipated outcomes when placing implants immediately following tooth extraction?

-Predictable implant survival
-Reduced overall treatment time
- Facial bone changes
-With immediate placement soft tissue recession is more variable
-Outcome influenced by skill of clinician

What are the esthetic risk factors with single tooth extraction and immediate implant placement in the anterior maxilla?

-soft tissue recession midfacially (thin facial plate, biotype)and proximally (contact position)

How might these be managed?

-Bone or soft tissue augmentation
-avoid immediate placement (ridge preservation)

Implant and prosthestic survival rates for maxilla and mandible

Implant:
Maxilla - 95-100%
Man - 98-100%

Prosthesis
Maxilla 87-100%
Man - 100%

How can you substantially lower the dose of a 3 dimensional image (CBCT)?

-Utilize appropriate exposure parameters
-Reduce the field of view (FOV) to the actual region of interest (ROI)

How should the decision to perform CBCT imaging for treatment Planning in Implant dentistry be made?

On individual patient needs after a thorough clinical examination and considered necessary.

List 2 indications for the use of guided surgical implant therapy

1.Aid in treatment planning when encountering complex anatomy
2. to perform minimally invasive surgery

When should you consider a staged approach to implant placement in the anterior maxilla?

When the hard and soft tissue in its current state would not support and esthetic outcome with primary stability at the time of implant placement

What types of surgical guides are available and how are these guides used to ensure that implants are placed according to the prosthetic plan?

-Soft tissue
-hard tissue (bone based or tooth)
-Externally anchored
-Static-rigid
-Dynamic-active guidance systems

What are the 7 limitations of surgical guides?

patient limited opening
implant position planning accuracy
advanced techinque with learning curve
limited surgical view
Lack of water for cooling
Cost
Time

When would you consider a flapless surgery?

-When there is no need to visualize bone morphology and quantity at the surgical site (no undercuts, no nearby vital structures).
-When ample amount of bone is present. To reduce the risk of fenestration and dehiscence.
-a flapless surgery is advantageous when preserving tissue (bone) is critical.

How does flapless surgery influence marginal bone loss?

-Radiographic marginal bone loss ranges from 0.7 to 2.6 mm over 1 year.
-Only one study compared marginal bone loss between flapless and conventional surgery. This study found slightly less bone resorption in implants placed using flapless surgery (2.1 mm vs 2.8 mm).

How does flapless surgery influence soft tissue response?

Limited evidence available, only two studies and they do not include comparisons to conventional implant placement technique (with flap elevation). They did compare to before implant placement and found there were no significant changes probing depths, bleeding index, plaque index, and width of keratinized gingiva

What are the clinical characteristics of peri-implant mucositis

Inflammatory response that can include bleeding on probing,
Suppuration
No bone loss beyond normal remodeling

What are the clinical characteristics of peri-implan peri-implantitis?

Inflammatory response with an increase of probing depths >4mm
Crestal bone loss beyond normal remodeling

EXT Cellular and molecular - immediate

-Bleeding
-Clot formation: Coagulation cascade (extrinsic and intrinsic cascades) Factor VIII + Thrombin + Fibrin + platelets
-Hemostasis
-Fibrin clot provide a structural framework

EXT Cellular and molecular -
First week: Formation of granulation tissue, angiogenesis and epithelialization (granulation phase, inflammatory phase)

Release of inflammatory cells (polymorphonuclear leukocytes)
Release of macrophages: phagocytosis of microorganisms
The release of pro-inflammatory mediators/cytokines: TNF-Alpha, Il1-B, Il-6, Il-10 and whole slew of chemokines (CC)
Release of growth factors that promote cell migration, differentiation and angiogenesis:
BMP (BMP2, BMP4 and BMP7): Initial trigger for bone formation
TGF-Beta: Also a trigger for bone formation
VEGF-A (pro-angiogenesis factor)
Remnants of PDL cells, mesenchymal stem-cells migrate, proliferate, and differentiate into a variety of cell types, including fibroblasts, and later into osteoblasts, and osteoclasts.
Cellular migration, differentiation, proliferation
Angiogenesis starts and proceeds very quickly
Formation of the “provisional matrix” (granulation tissue)
Stabilization and organization of connective tissues by the formation and deposition of collagen
Epithelialization (starts by 1 weeks and complete in 3 weeks)
Early bone formation: progress from the apex and periphery and proceeded finally to the center and crest of the extraction socket.

EXT Cellular and molecular - 2-10 Weeks: Bone formation phase

-Osteoblast differentiation,
-Deposition of bone (woven bone): can be seen as early as 7 days at the bottom of the socket
-New bone formation: 2-3 weeks after extraction (immature bone)
-The bone deposited at the base and walls of the socket (woven bone)
-Epithelialization is complete (3 weeks)
-Bone growth: Starts 4-5 week, at 5 weeks 66% of the socket is filled, Bone fully formed in 8-10 weeks (composed of woven and lamellar bone)

EXT Cellular and molecular - >10 weeks: Remodeling and re-organization phase

Bone re-organization (in 3 months, you lose 50-60% of the original bone volume)
All stages of bone regeneration progress from the apex and periphery and proceeded finally to the center and crest of the extraction socket.
