Article Abstract
Aim: The objective of this in vitro study was to compare reused and sterilized versus new healing abutments to assess whether a decontamination and sterilization process performed on resued healing abutments was sufficient to remove residual proteins. The two groups were comparable with respect to patient safety.
Materials And Methods: During the period from September 2022 to October 2023, healing abutment screws were selected and divided into two groups according to whether they were new or previously used in patients. The samples were subjected to a decontamination and sterilization protocol, and results from sample sterility evaluation and assessment of surface protein levels were recorded.
Results: The obtained results revealed a significant difference in the OD562 nm values between new and reused healing abutment samples. The assay demonstrates how treated healing abutments were still contaminated by residual proteins.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, although from an infectious point of view sterilization results in the total eradication of pathogens, surface proteins remain on reused healing abutments.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the clinical and radiographic findings of definitive two-piece abutments placed at secondary surgery following submerged healing and definitive abutments used in standard prosthetic treatments.
Materials And Methods: The study was designed as a prospective, split-mouth, randomised, parallel-design, blinded clinical trial. The study comprised two groups: a test group and a control group.

Purpose: This long-term retrospective case series study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and to identify risk factors for peri-implantitis associated with the one-step lateral sinus floor elevation (LSFE) procedure in patients with a severely atrophic posterior maxilla.
Materials And Methods: Clinical data were obtained from Periodontic Department at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. One-step, non-submerged LSFE enabled simultaneous implant placement in sites with residual bone height < 5 mm.

Background: Recently, several techniques for immediate implant placement have gained popularity, offering numerous advantages. These include the preservation of bone around the tooth socket and enhanced aesthetics. Nonetheless, the biomechanical behavior of implants and peri-implant tissues under immediate loading with these techniques remains uncertain.

Aim: To investigate whether early re-entry surgery following simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) and implant placement has a negative impact on the outcome of bone regeneration and osseointegration.
Materials And Methods: In the edentulous mandible of six mongrel dogs, buccal peri-implant dehiscence defects were surgically created. Bone-level implants were placed with GBR, followed by submerged healing.

Background: Reconstructive treatments of peri-implantitis are carried out with the principles of guided bone regeneration, with a non-submerged or with a submerged approach. The authors describe a new technique for the reconstruction of intra-bony vertical defects caused by peri-implantitis, which requires the removal of the prosthetic superstructure to have better access to the surgical site, in order to perform the defect debridement and the implant surface decontamination and detoxification, before placing the reconstructive biomaterials.
Methods: A 2 mm high cap screw was connected to the implant with the aim of not letting a cross-linked collagen membrane to collapse over the implant threads.
