Monitoring implant health requires precise diagnostic techniques, with probing recognized as a key assessment tool. However, the choice between metal and plastic probes remains controversial, as both present unique risks to implant surfaces…

A novel case report highlights the potential of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor with allograft material in managing retrograde peri-implantitis. While biofilm removal remains a challenge, this approach demonstrates…

An 81-year-old patient with well-controlled type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease presented with late implant complications, including peri-implant infection and pocketing. A surgical approach combining guided bone regeneration and…

Retrograde peri-implantitis presents a rare but challenging complication in implant dentistry. Learn about its potential causes, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies, including the role of growth factors like rh-PDGF in promoting…

A dental implant with midfacial recession in the esthetic zone was successfully preserved using a hybrid abutment and a modified coronally advanced tunnel with a connective tissue graft. This case highlights the importance of correct…

A complex soft tissue defect around a maxillary implant was successfully treated using a modified coronally advanced tunnel technique with a connective tissue graft. By combining precise surgical and prosthetic protocols, clinicians…

A patient presented with dissatisfaction over an unesthetic implant-supported crown for his maxillary central incisor, compounded by thin tissue and soft tissue deficiencies. This case highlights a comprehensive approach to soft tissue…

Mid-facial recession is a frequent complication in anterior implant therapy, with advanced cases observed in up to 64% of immediate placements. Effective treatment demands careful assessment of implant positioning, periodontal health, and…

Cone-beam computed tomography is transforming periodontal diagnostics by providing highly detailed imaging of bony defects, root morphology, and periodontal-endodontic pathology. This advanced technology not only aids in precise treatment…

While CBCT is widely used in implant planning and guided implant therapy, its potential remains underutilized. CBCT offers unparalleled accuracy in detecting bony defects and enhancing digital workflows, yet its routine use in periodontal…
