A modified surgical approach for hard and soft tissue reconstruction of severe periimplantitis defects – Laser‐assisted periimplant defect regeneration (LAPIDER)

Peri-implant defect grafting with autogenous bone or bone graft material in immediate implant placement in molar extraction sites-1- to 3-year results of a prospective randomized study.

Objectives To evaluate the survival rate, the orobuccal bone resorption and stability of peri-implant hard and soft tissues following immediate implant placement of wide diameter implants in molar extraction sites and peri-implant defect grafting with autogenous bone (AB) or biphasic bone graft material (BBGM) with 1- to 3-year follow-up examinations. Material and methods Fifty wide diameter implants were placed in 50 patients immediately into molar extraction sockets by a flapless approach. Peri-implant defect augmentation was performed randomized with either AB or BBGM. Primary outcome variable was implant survival. Marginal bone level changes, orobuccal width of the alveolar crest, probi…

Clinical and esthetic outcome with immediate insertion and provisionalization with or without connective tissue grafting in presence of mucogingival recessions: A retrospective analysis with follow-up between 1 and 8 years

Background Recessions following immediate implant insertion are frequently reported in the literature. Data regarding implant installation in presence of mucogingival recessions are rare. Purpose This study observes soft tissue level changes following immediate implant insertion and provisionalization of implants with or without connective tissue grafts in the anterior maxilla in patients with initial mucogingival recession within a follow-up period between one and eight years. Materials and methods Twenty-six patients with marginal gingival recessions, which were designated for extraction and immediate implant insertion in the anterior zone of the maxilla (13-23), were included. Out of a l…
