Recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB is revolutionizing bone regeneration by enhancing cellular activity and accelerating tissue repair. This powerful biologic shows impressive results when paired with grafting materials,…

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has evolved into a reliable solution for complex ridge augmentation, even in challenging knife-edge cases. While autogenous bone remains a gold standard, emerging evidence shows comparable outcomes with…

Dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery (d-CAIS) offers real-time guidance, high accuracy, and an efficient workflow that allows same-day placement and greater surgical flexibility. While it requires a significant investment and training,…

Through digital navigation and three-dimensional planning, a missing lower premolar was restored with pinpoint accuracy. This case highlights the power of advanced technology to deliver predictable, esthetic implant outcomes.

Surgical navigation technology now lets clinicians drill with unprecedented accuracy, tracking depth and angulation to the tenth of a millimeter. Real-time visual cues and color-coded depth indicators help oral health professionals stay…

Advanced digital workflows are transforming implant dentistry with precise, restoratively driven treatment planning. By merging CBCT scans with intraoral scans and using dynamic navigation systems, clinicians gain unmatched control and…

Thermoplastic fiducial markers play a crucial role in guided implant surgery by enabling accurate anatomical tracking. When properly placed and scanned, these markers provide a reliable reference for live navigation during implant…

Freehand implant placement is giving way to high-tech solutions as clinicians embrace computer-assisted technologies for greater accuracy and fewer complications. With both static and dynamic systems offering three-dimensional guidance,…

Effective peri-implant maintenance therapy is essential for preventing biological and mechanical complications and ensuring the long-term success of dental implants.

Screw loosening and stripping are common and costly complications in screw-retained implant restorations, especially when angulation comes into play. Understanding the mechanics and risks can help clinicians prevent damage and keep…
