The use of methylprednisolone after third molar surgery. A systematic review an...

Background: Extraction of impacted third molars is a standard procedure in dentistry. However, the postoperative inflammation and pain are undesired and uncomfortable. Methylprednisolone has emerged as a possible solution to improve outcomes. This systematic review aimed to evaluate methylprednisolone in the postoperative period of impacted third molars in relation to its efficacy in postoperative pain and edem...

The effect of increasing thread depth on the initial stability of dental implan...

Background: The long-term success of dental implants largely depends on achieving primary stability, previously described as crucial to obtaining osseointegration and immediate loading protocol requirements. Implant thread depths seem to be one of the key factors influencing primary stability, particularly in low-density bone. Insertion torque (IT) and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) are considered the most ...

The use of tissue grafts associated with immediate implant placement to achieve...

Background: The goal of this systematic study and meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of hard and/or soft tissue grafts associated with type-1 implants on healing and treatment outcomes. The primary outcomes studied were implant survival rate, pocket depth, marginal peri-implant recession, bone loss, bone thickness (volumetric change), interproximal bone level, mesial and distal papilla migration, and ra...

Comparative clinical behavior of zirconia versus titanium dental implants: a sy...

Objective: The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess whether there were clinically relevant differences in the treatment of edentulous areas comparing zirconia (Zr) and titanium (Ti) dental implants. The null hypothesis is that no differences can be observed in terms of the clinical parameters; the positive hypothesis I is that Zr implants have generally better results compared to Ti im...

Editorial: role of the surface in peri-implant bone biology

Volumetric analysis on the use of customized healing abutments with or without ...

Objectives: To evaluate buccal volume change after using a customized healing abutment with or without connective tissue grafts (CTG) in flapless maxillary immediate implant placement (IIP). Materials and Methods: The present study was designed as a randomized clinical trial (RCT). Patients treated with flapless maxillary IIP were allocated into two groups, both receiving a customized healing abutment, and addi...

The influence of history of severe periodontitis on estimated long-term margina...

The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term marginal bone level (MBL) of implants supporting fixed full-arch restoration in patients who had previously lost their dentition due to severe periodontitis. This retrospective study included 35 patients in whom 342 implants with internal tapered conical connections were placed. MBL was analyzed radiographically over time and a long-term estimation of MBL was c...

A 3D digital analysis of the hard palate wound healing after free gingival graf...

Purpose: Within this context, this pilot study aimed to evaluate the healing dynamics process of the hard palate after free gingival graft harvesting in the short term (3 months), utilizing digital imaging technology and tridimensional analysis software. Furthermore, assessing the results found to verify the existence of a relationship between gender or age with tissue loss. Materials and Methods: For connectiv...

Sinus lift associated with leucocyte‐platelet‐rich fibrin (second generation) f...

The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze sinus lifting procedures and to compare the efficiency of this treatment associated with the second generation of platelet‐rich fibrin related to its effects on bone gain and to clarify the regenerative efficacy in sinus lift procedure, whether alone or as a coadjutant to other bone graft materials. The PICOT question was, “In clinical studies with patients n...

O design de identidade digital e o seu Impacto no mercado biológico

Neste projeto procuramos perceber qual a influência das novas tecnologias na criação de imagens que se solidificarão sobre a forma de perceções, que permitam contribuir para o reforço da identidade da empresa. Numa altura em que a saúde e o meio ambiente se tornam uma preocupação para a população, os consumidores começam à procura de alternativas mais saudáveis, para responder a este nicho, o mercado biológico ...
