The use of methylprednisolone after third molar surgery. A systematic review an...
Libório, Hélio; Borges, Tiago; Pereira, Miguel; Ross, William; Fernandes, Juliana Campos Hasse; Fernandes, Gustavo Vicentis OliveiraBackground: 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...
Cucinelli, Chiara; Pereira, Miguel Silva; Borges, Tiago; Figueiredo, Rui; Leitão-Almeida, BrunoBackground: 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...
Rondone, Enrico Maria; Leitão-Almeida, Bruno; Pereira, Miguel Silva; Fernandes, Gustavo Vicentis Oliveira; Borges, TiagoBackground: 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...
Morena, Danilo; Leitão-Almeida, Bruno; Pereira, Miguel; Resende, Rodrigo; Fernandes, Juliana Campos Hasse; Fernandes, Gustavo Vicentis OliveiraObjective: 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...
Effect of bone loss on the fracture resistance of narrow dental implants after ...
Leitão-Almeida, Bruno; Camps-Font, Octavi; Correia, André; Mir-Mari, Javier; Figueiredo, Rui; Valmaseda-Castellon, EduardBackground: Implantoplasty (IP) involves polishing of the exposed surface of implants affected by peri-implantitis (PI). A study was made to determine whether the degree of bone loss influences the fracture resistance of implants with or without IP. Material and Methods: An in vitro study was carried out on 32 narrow (3.5 mm) dental implants with a rough surface and external hexagonal connection. Implantoplasty...
Effect of crown to implant ratio and implantoplasty on the fracture resistance ...
Leitão-Almeida, Bruno; Camps-Font, Octavi; Correia, André; Mir-Mari, Javier; Figueiredo, Rui; Valmaseda-Castellón, EduardBackground: Peri-implantitis is a biological complication that affects soft and hard tissues around dental implants. Implantoplasty (IP) polishes the exposed implant surface, to decontaminate it and make it less prone to bacterial colonization. This study investigates whether a higher clinical crown-to-implant-ratio (CIR) reduces implant fracture resistance and whether implants are more fracture-prone after IP ...
