Article Abstract
Purpose: To detect the correlation between crestal bone resorption and implant stability during healing period using resonance frequency analysis (RFA).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-two International Team for Implantology Straumann implants were placed in the posterior maxilla or mandible in 9 patients. RFA reading was taken immediately after implant placement. Periapical radiographs were taken, and the distance from the shoulder of the healing cap to the first bone-implant contact was measured, and the average mesial and distal distances were taken. Patients were followed up at 6 and 12 weeks for data collection.
Results: At 6 weeks, the correlation between crestal bone resorption and implant stability was significant (Spearman correlation test, P < 0.05) and negative correlation coefficient (r) was -0.522. At 12 weeks, the correlation between crestal bone resorption and implant stability was not significant (Spearman correlation test, P > 0.05) and negative correlation coefficient (r) was -0.119.
Conclusions: There was a significant negative correlation between the crestal bone resorption and implant stability at 6 weeks, whereas the negative correlations between the crestal bone resorption and implant stability at 12 weeks were nonsignificant.

Background: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of a magnetodynamic instrument (Magnetic Mallet, Metaergonomica, Turbigo, Milan, Italy) to perform a horizontal bone expansion in edentulous sites that need to be rehabilitated with a dental implant.
Methods: A sample of 15 patients, 11 men and 4 women, age between 39 and 78 years, was analyzed. A total of 18 conical-shaped implants with a diameter of 3.

Introduction: Soft tissue thickness may play a role in the success of dental implants by influencing factors such as bone health and implant stability. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mucosal thickness on crestal bone levels and implant stability in patients with platform-switched abutments. The objectives were to measure bleeding on probing (BOP), implant stability, and changes in crestal bone levels in thin and thick mucosal environments over six months post-prosthetic loading.

Introduction: Micro-osteoperforation (MOP) is a minimally invasive technique aimed at accelerating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by stimulating localised bone remodelling. However, its impact on root resorption, alveolar bone levels, and inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-4 (IL-4) requires further investigation. This study assessed root resorption, alveolar bone changes, canine angulation, rate of retraction, and IL-4 expression associated with MOP-assisted canine retraction.

The null hypothesis was that there is no difference in whole salivary cortisol levels (CL) and peri-implant health status among adults with and without a diagnosis of mental health disorders (MHD). The aim was to assess whole salivary CL and peri-implant health status among adults with and without MHD. The inclusion criteria were: (a) adults with at least one dental implant in function for at least one year; (b) adults with and without a diagnosis of MHD.

Background: Despite growing interest in dentofacial interactions, evidence linking three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial morphology to periodontal phenotypes remains sparse. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate correlations between maxillary anterior periodontal parameters and 3D craniofacial morphology in a Chinese population.
Methods: Participants underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scans to quantify bone thickness (BT) (at 2 mm [BT] and 4 mm [BT] apical to the alveolar crest), gingival thickness (GT) (at cemento-enamel junction [GT] and bone crest [GT]), and periodontal supra-crestal tissue height (PSTH).
