This study examined a new 3D volumetric analysis method for the assessment of baseline-to-12-month changes of the soft tissue volume at early and immediately placed tapered implants after loading with ceramic single crowns. Eligible patients with one incisor, canine, or premolar to be extracted were included. selleck The patients were divided randomly into early-placement or immediate-placement groups. Tapered implants (BLT, Institut Straumann) were placed after the extractions. In the early-placement group, the implants were placed 8 weeks after extraction. In the immediate-placement group, the implants were placed immediately after the extraction. All implants healed transmucosally, and the final crowns were inserted after healing (baseline). Impressions were made at screening, baseline, and 12 months after crown insertion (Permadyne, 3M). The casts were scanned (Imetric 4D) and aligned, and a superimposed area of interest (AOI) (labial/buccal aspects) was defined to assess the volumetric changes (GOM Inspect).re specified between the treatment groups. This 3-year study aimed to evaluate hard and soft tissue modification around a two-piece implant characterized by a transmucosal hyperbolic neck in healthy consecutive patients with a need for single-tooth replacement. Two-piece implants (n = 66) were placed with a flapless technique in 56 patients (27 men; 29 women; mean age 55 ± 9 years) 16 immediately after root extraction (immediate group), 20 after 8 to 12 weeks (early group), and 30 after 10 or more months (delayed group). The transmucosal hyperbolic neck was exposed 1 to 1.5 mm above gingival level. Customized abutments were positioned 3 months later with the implant-abutment connection located approximately 1 to 1.5 mm above soft tissue level. Provisional cemented resin crowns were designed with the finishing line at the hyperbolic neck and then positioned to avoid excessive compression of soft tissue, to guide gingival contours. Twenty days later, a definitive metal-ceramic crown was cemented. In all patients, the gingival biotype (thin or thick)ameters measured around two-piece hyperbolic-neck implants were stable during the 3-year follow-up and free from complications. The exposure of the hyperbolic neck for 1.0 to 1.5 mm allowed a flapless one-stage surgery, which supported fast adaptation of the soft tissues, evidenced by high PES values and low percentages of BOP. The results from the study imply a new simple approach in the clinical management of gingival and bone tissue.Resorbable membranes are well described and employed for horizontal guided bone regeneration (GBR). However, the currently available literature does not provide information on the bone volumetric changes during the healing that follows GBR procedures and dental implant placement. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to initially analyze the volumetric bone changes after treating pristine edentulous mandibular defects with lateral GBR using freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) and collagen resorbable membrane. Six patients were selected for the analysis. Clinical changes in bone volume before and after GBR were measured. In addition, digital volumetric analysis of the augmented ridges was performed preoperatively, as well as 4 and 6 months after the GBR procedure. At the time of dental implant placement, bone cores were collected during the osteotomy for histologic analysis. Data on volume changes showed a mean of 297.5 ± 134 mm3 augmented bone volume at 4 months with 5% ± 3.78% resorption from 4 to ≥ 6 months. Histologic bone core analysis showed 44.9% plusmn; 5.1% mineralization in the area of augmentation. Within the limitations of this pilot study, resorbable membranes exhibited reliability for GBR in intercalated mandibular defects, providing sufficient bone volume gain at ≥ 6 months for implant stabilization and limited resorption during graft healing.
