Papilla preservation periodontal surgery in periodontal reconstruction for deep combined intra-suprabony defects. Retrospective analysis of a registry-based cohort
Background Suprabony defects are the most prevalent defects and there is very little evidence on their treatment. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of papilla preservation periodontal surgery in the periodontal reconstruction of combined deep intra-suprabony defects. Material and Methods 20 patients with combined intrabony and supra-alveolar deep periodontal defects treated by papilla preservation periodontal surgery were analyzed. Defects were treated with enamel matrix derivate plus xenograft. Clinical recordings made before surgery and at 12 months. Results Papilla preservation periodontal surgery showed significant PPD reduction (4.4 ± 1.46 mm; p<0.001), clinical attachment ga…

Immediate loading and immediate restoration in 105 expanded-platform implants via the Diem System after a 16-month follow-up period
Objective: The aim of this study was to report on our experience and outcomes with Certain Prevail Implants and immediate loading via the Diem System after a 16-month follow-up period. Materials and Methods: Over a 16- month period, 105 (14 maxilla, 91 mandible) expanded-platform implants were placed in 18 patients (15 females, 3 males; 55.97 ±7.25 SD years). Resonance frecuency analysis (RFA) was measured on the day of placement and at 3, 12 and 16 months. All prostheses were screw mounted on IOL DIEM standard abutments. The follow-up time varied between 3 up to 16 months. Results: One implant (0.9%) failed during final prothetic placement (3 months). The RFA (ISQ) measurements at 16 month…
