For the treatment of impacted maxillary canines, traction associated with a complete orthodontic treatment is the first choice in young patients. However, in adults, this treatment has a worse prognosis. The surgical extraction of the impacted tooth can result in a series of complications and a compromised alveolar bone integrity, which may lead to the requirement of a bone regeneration/grafting procedure to replace the canine with a dental implant. These case reports aimed to describe an alternative treatment procedure to the surgical extraction of impacted maxillary canines in adults. Following clinical and computerized tomography-scan (CT-Scan) examination, the possibility of maintaining the impacted canine in its position and replacing the temporary canine present in its place with a dental implant was planned. A short dental implant with an immediate provisional crown was placed, without contacting the impacted canine. At 3 months follow-up, a definitive metal-ceramic restoration was placed. Follow-up visits were performed periodically. The implant site showed a physiological soft tissue color and firmness, no marginal bone loss, no infection or inflammation, and an adequate aesthetic result in all follow-up visits. These results suggest that the treatment carried out is a valid option to rehabilitate with an osseointegrated short implant area where a canine is included, as long as there is a sufficient amount of the remaining bone.

The resorption of the alveolar ridge is an inevitable phenomenon after tooth extraction and continues throughout the lifespan of an individual. Socket preservation, hard and soft tissue augmentation procedures are indicated to compensate alveolar bone resorption. Compensation can also be done by masking with acrylic flanges, pink porcelain and gingival veneers. However, procedures to preserve the bone anticipatory to the loss after extraction should be prioritised. This paper reports a case of fractured non-vital tooth where root submergence technique was done. A follow-up at 6 months presents intact bone aiding in the aesthetics and function of the prosthesis.

Purpose. To compare marginal bone loss between subgingivally placed short-collar implants with machined collars and those with machined and laser-microtextured collars.Materials and Methods. The investigators used a retrospective study design and included patients who needed missing posterior teeth replaced with implants. Short-collar implants with identical geometries were divided into two groups: an M group, machined collar; and an L group, machined and laser-microtextured collar. Implants were evaluated according to marginal bone loss, implant success, and probing depth (PD) at 3 years of follow-up.Results. Sixty-two patients received 103 implants (56 in the M group and 47 in the L group). The cumulative survival rate was 100%. All implants showed clinically acceptable marginal bone loss, although bone resorption was lower in the L group (0.49 mm) than in the M group (1.38 mm) at 3 years (p<0.01). A significantly shallower PD was found for the implants in the L group during follow-up (p<0.01).Conclusions. Our results suggest predictable outcomes with regard to bone loss for both groups; however, bone resorption was less in the L group than in the M group before and after loading. The laser-microtextured collar implant may provide a shallower PD than the machined collar implant.

The aim of this retrospective study was to clinically evaluate the five-year outcomes of implants placed following a combined approach to the sinus, consisting of sequential drills and osteotomes. Medical records of patients with implants placed in combination with crestal sinus lift using sequential drills and osteotomes, with a residual alveolar bone crest between 4 to 8 mm, and a follow-up of at least five years after final loading, were evaluated. Outcomes were implant and prosthetic survival and success rates, any complication, and marginal bone loss. Data from 96 patients (53 women and 43 men; mean age 54.7 years; range 23–79 years) were collected. A total of 105 single implants were analyzed. After five years of function, two implants were lost and two prostheses failed. No major biological or prosthetic complications occurred. At the five-year examination, the marginal bone loss was 1.24 ± 0.28 mm. Within the limitations of this retrospective study it can be concluded that implants placed following a combined approach to the sinus consisting of sequential drills and osteotomes seem to be a viable option for the treatment of posterior atrophic edentulous maxilla.

Introduction: The purpose was to study any relationship between crown-to-implant ratio and peri-implant bone loss of short, plateau-design, locking taper implants in posterior maxillary areas. Methods: This retrospective clinical study was conducted between May 2013 and September 2013. The sample was composed of patients who had received at least one short implant(5-to-8-mm-long) between January 2009 and December 2011. The outcome variables were implant failure and peri-implant bone loss in relation to crown-to-implant ratio. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to check out correlations between crown-to-implant ratio and peri-implant bone loss. Results: Thirty-six subject who received 79 locking-taper implants were followed for an average of 24 months. Four implants failed, giving a cumulative survival rate (CSR) of 94.9%. The mean crown-to-implant ratio was 2.01. The peri-implant bone loss between prosthetic loading and last recall was 0.21 mm. No statistically significant relationship was observed between increasing crown-implant ratios and marginal bone loss (P = .93). Conclusion: The crown-to-implant ratio, although high, was not associated to increased bone loss. However further studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm our data.
