Micro-CT Structure Analysis on Dental Implants: Preliminary In Vitro Trial

Introduction: This preliminary in vitro study aims to evaluate the application of micro-CT in analyzing the microstructural coupling between dental implant fixtures and prosthetic abutments, with an emphasis on understanding the effectiveness and limitations of this technique in dental implantology. Materials and Methods: A search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library up to May 2024 identified eight relevant studies that examined different facets of dental implantology, such as osseoin...

Bioengineering Applied to Oral Implantology, a New Protocol: “Digital Guided Surgery”

Rehabilitative dentistry has made enormous progress in recent years, not only due to the advent of new implant-prosthetic methods, but also thanks to new information technologies that support the doctor. This study aims to present a new implant protocol that involves the application of bioengineering methods. With the application of the finite element analysis, it is possible to evaluate the distribution of the forces of a fixture and possible implant rehabilitation on each patient, even befo...

Sandblasted and Acid Etched Titanium Dental Implant Surfaces Systematic Review and Confocal Microscopy Evaluation

The field of dental implantology has made progress in recent years, allowing safer and predictable oral rehabilitations. Surely the rehabilitation times have also been reduced, thanks to the advent of the new implant surfaces, which favour the osseointegration phases and allow the clinician to rehabilitate their patients earlier. To carry out this study, a search was conducted in the Pubmed, Embase and Elsevier databases; the articles initially obtained according to the keywords used numbered...
