Article Abstract
Background: Accurately replicating the emergence profile (EP) of conditioned soft tissue is pivotal for the success of implant-supported restorations. In the field of digital technology, various methods have emerged to capture EP. This review aims to critically assess current digital methodologies for capturing peri-implant EP.
Material And Methods: Prospective interventional or observational clinical studies focusing on digitally mapping the emergence profile (EP) around single implant-supported restorations were included. Systematic reviews, in vitro and animal studies, and those not emphasizing EP capture were excluded. A systematic search across four databases (MEDLINE, CENTRAL, Embase, Web of Science) was conducted on 7th August 2024 based on a previously registered protocol (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023459484). Risk of bias was assessed with RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and JBI critical appraisal tools. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out.
Results: Twenty-four eligible studies were identified, comprising 5 dental techniques, 12 case reports, 1 randomized controlled study, 2 cross-sectional studies, and 4 cross-over studies. The studies reported semi-digital pathways, direct scanning, indirect scanning, coded-healing abutments, and individualized use of scan bodies. Notably, the direct scanning technique showed considerable soft tissue collapse. Similar results can be achieved with indirect scanning and the conventional method.
Conclusions: Indirect EP scanning appears as the most promising method for capturing peri-implant EP. However, a confirmation of this finding requires a quantitative analysis through randomized clinical trials.

The Effect of Restorative Emergence Angle on Soft and Hard Tissue Around Splinted Implants: A Preclinical Study.

Department of Periodontology and Dental Research Institute, School of Dentistry, Seoul National University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Objective: To investigate the impact of the restorative emergence angle and splinting configurations on peri-implant soft and hard tissues.
Materials And Methods: Thirty implants were placed in the mandibular premolars (P2, P3, P4) of five beagle dogs. In a split-mouth design, each animal received both narrow (NE) (emergence angle = 30°) and wide (WE) (emergence angle = 60°) abutments on each side of the mandible.
Aesthetics and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry: Consensus Report.
J Clin Periodontol

ETEP (Etiology and Therapy of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases) Research Group, University Complutense of Madrid, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Aesthetics and patient-reported experiences (PREs) and outcomes (PROs) influence treatment choices, but have been largely overlooked in periodontology and implant dentistry. This consensus conference evaluated these factors by focusing on gingival recession defects (GRDs), immediate or early/delayed implant placement and peri-implant buccal soft-tissue dehiscences.
Methods: The workshop discussions were informed by five specifically commissioned systematic reviews covering PREs, PROs and clinician-reported outcomes (CROs), including effectiveness, aesthetics and other concerns.

Objectives: Despite many studies on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in peri‑implantitis treatment, a comprehensive review is lacking. This systematic analysis aimed to evaluate PROs after surgical and nonsurgical treatments, with a focus on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines, using the PICO framework to define eligibility: adults (≥18) needing peri‑implantitis treatment (non-surgical or surgical) with outcomes on patient satisfaction, quality of life, or other PROs.

With the advent of antibiotic-eluting polymeric materials for targeting recalcitrant infections, using preclinical models to study biofilms are crucial for improving the treatment efficacy in periprosthetic joint infections. The stratification of risk and severity of infections is needed to develop an effective clinical dosing framework with better treatment outcomes. We use in vivo and in vitro implant-associated infection models to demonstrate that methicillin-sensitive and resistant (MSSA and MRSA) have model-dependent distinct implant and peri-implant tissue colonization patterns.
