Linear Accuracy of Intraoral Scanners for Full-Arch Impressions of Implant-Supported Prostheses: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
European Journal of DentistryFranciele Floriani, et. al
2023-01-30
This article compares the accuracy of intraoral scanners (IOSs) used in the digital impression of full arches to fabricate implant-supported complete prostheses. Studies that evaluated the accuracy of intraoral scan impressions compared with conventional impressions in full-arch impressions were included for complete implant-supported prostheses. In addition, an adapted checklist for reporting in vitro studies was used to assess the risk of bias.
The beyond the gap filling approach: Modeling facial and interproximal tissues and improving esthetics for anterior flapless immediate implant placement
Journal of Esthetic and Restorative DentistryMauro Tosta, et. al
2022-03-08
Maintenance of adequate interproximal tissue height between an implant and a natural tooth or between adjacent implants represents an esthetic challenge in implant dentistry. The aim of this case report is to describe a modified technique referred to as the beyond the gap filling (BGF) approach designed to improve the horizontal and vertical components of the facial aspect and particularly the height of interproximal bone peaks around immediately placed implants into fresh extraction sockets.
Local effect of simvastatin combined with different osteoconductive biomaterials and collagen sponge on new bone formation in critical defects in rat calvaria
Acta Cirúrgica BrasileiraDircilei Nascimento de Sousa, et. al

The identification of bone substitutes that can be used in grafting procedures and have a different origin than autogenous bone grafts is extremely important due to the high prevalence of bone defects that require grafting procedures and the inability to use autogenous bone grafts in all cases. Although this type of graft has some of the best biological properties for bone formation 1 , its use is limited by the morbidity caused to the patient, its limited availability and its resorption rates.
