Background/Objectives: Despite the increased use of new resorbable magnesium membranes, there are no reported cases or studies on the use of resorbable magnesium membranes in combination with bone grafts for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in cases with severe buccal bone wall dehiscence. This case report aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the magnesium membrane shield technique in conjunction with bone grafting for ARP, assessing both clinical outcomes and histological bone regeneration. Methods: A 44-year-old female patient presented with a vertical fracture on tooth 24 (FDI Notation System) accompanied with complete destruction of the buccal bone wall. The treatment plan included tooth extraction, ARP using a combination of anorganic bovine bone and autologous bone grafting, and the application of a magnesium membrane as a shield to the pre-existing buccal wall. Six months post-procedure, a bone biopsy was taken from the implant site using a trephine bur. Results: Clinical and radiological evaluations six months after the procedure demonstrated sufficient bone volume for implant placement. Additionally, in the next three months, soft tissue conditioning with a provisional crown resulted in an aesthetically and functionally satisfactory outcome. Histological analysis of the bone biopsy revealed well-formed new bone in direct contact with residual biomaterial, with no signs of inflammation. Osteocytes were clearly visible within the newly formed bone matrix, indicating successful bone maturation. Active osteoblasts were observed along the bone-biomaterial interface, suggesting ongoing bone remodeling and integration. Additionally, histomorphometric evaluation revealed 47% newly formed bone, 32% soft tissue, and 19% residual biomaterial. Conclusions: This case demonstrates the potential of the magnesium shield technique as an ARP technique in cases with severe buccal wall dehiscence. The technique yielded satisfactory clinical outcomes and promoted successful bone regeneration, as confirmed by histological analysis. Full article

Background: Bone healing is a complex process controlled by various mechanisms. It is known that cigarette smoking (CS) negatively affects bone healing by disrupting many of these mechanisms. In an effort to find ways to eliminate these negative effects caused by CS, studies have been conducted on various vitamins, antioxidants, and medications. Since high doses and repeated injections are required to increase the therapeutic effect of conventional drug applications, controlled drug delivery systems have been developed to avoid such problems. This study aimed to investigate the effects of resveratrol (RES), which has been made into a controlled drug delivery system, on bone healing in rats that were experimentally exposed to cigarette smoke to create a chronic smoking model. Methods: After establishing a chronic CS model by exposing the subjects to cigarette smoke of six cigarettes/day for four weeks, monocortical critical size defects of 3 mm (SD ± 0.02 mm) in diameter were created in the femur using a trephine bur. During the operation, the defects in RES groups were filled locally with a gel-formed solution of RES (50 µM) and Pluronic F-127 (14 µL). CS exposure was continued during the bone healing period after surgery. All groups were sacrificed one month after the operation, and femur samples were taken. Results: The obtained samples were examined by histomorphometric and immunohistochemical techniques; osteoblast count, new bone area, macroscopic filling score, vascularization, and proliferation were evaluated. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that CS negatively affects bone healing and that local application of RES reduces this effect. Full article

This study seeks to assess the accuracy of apical location using an augmented reality (AR) device with a free-hand method. Sixty (60) osteotomy site preparations were randomly assigned to one of two study groups: A. AR device (AR) (n = 30), and B. conventional free-hand method (FHM) (n = 30). Preoperative CBCT scans and intraoral scans were taken and uploaded to specialized implant-planning software to virtually plan preparations for the apical location osteotomy sites. The planning software was then used to automatically segment the teeth in each experimental model for their complete visualization using the AR device. A CBCT scan was carried out postoperatively after conducting the apical location procedures. The subsequent datasets were imported into therapeutic software to analyze the coronal, apical, and angular deviations. The Mann–Whitney non-parametric test was used. There were no statistically significant differences identified at the coronal (p = 0.1335), apical (p = 0.2401), and angular deviations (p = 0.4849) between the AR and FHM study groups. The augmented reality technique did not show a statistically significant accuracy of osteotomies for apical location when compared with the conventional free-hand method. Full article

Purpose: Recently, a novel approach to apicoectomy has emerged, involving the use of a hollow trephine with a surgical guide. This innovative technique creates a semicircular section, in contrast to the conventional straight cut (with a bur). The semicircular shape of this section raises questions about the method’s effectiveness in eliminating supernumerary canals (SNCs), which are auxiliary canals alongside the main root canal. These canals pose a risk of further infection if not thoroughly eliminated. The aim of this exploratory study was to assess the efficacy of the proposed method in the removal of SNCs. Methods: A sample of 200 extracted single-rooted human teeth was rigorously narrowed down by multiple steps to 33 specimens that contained SNCs in the apical third. These specimens underwent apical semicircular sectioning, removing the apical 3 mm of the root. The specimens then underwent repeated CT scanning. For samples with residual SNCs, the section was transformed into a straight section and another CT scan was performed. Results: The semicircular section eliminated all SNCs in 94% of the specimens, and it eliminated 97.3% of the SNCs in all specimens. The straight-line sectioning eliminated 98.6% of all SNCs and eliminated all SNCs in 96.97% of the SNC-containing teeth. Conclusions: The efficacy of semicircular apicoectomy performed with a trephine appears to be comparable (χ2 = 1.00, df = 1, and p = 0.317) to that of the conventional straight apicoectomy performed with a bur as reported in the literature.

Background: The primary objective of this ex vivo study was to assess the influence of increasing insertion torques on three types of dental implants and possible alterations of their microgeometry after the application of three different torque intensities. Methods: 27 implants of 3 different implant brands (Groups A, B and C) were placed in cow ribs using 30 Ncm, 45 Ncm and 55 Ncm insertion torques. The implants were subsequently removed using trephine burs, and SEM analysis was carried out in order to detect implant surface and connection changes, as compared to the implant controls. Results: Surface deformations were predominantly observed on the third apical part of the implants. The alterations presented with increasing insertion torques, with 45 Ncm being the threshold value. Prosthetic connections were also compromised. Conclusions: The changes sustained by the implants were proportional to the insertion torque they were subjected to; 45 Ncm and greater insertion torques resulted in more consistent damage, both on the implant surface and the implant connection.

The stability of bone regenerated through Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) around implants is crucial for long-term success. In this case series, changes in marginal bone levels (MBL) around implants placed in a regenerated bone using heterologous cortical lamina technique were radiographically measured. In addition, bone samples were obtained and submitted to histological and histomorphometric analysis. Thirty implants were placed in regenerated bone sites 8 months after the regenerative surgery; in the same surgical stage, a hard tissue biopsy was taken using a trephine bur and submitted to histologic and histomorphometric analysis. Changes in the marginal bone level, mesial and distal to the implant shoulder, were measured between prosthetic loading and the last follow-up, 2 years later. No implants were lost, and all could be deemed successful at the last follow-up. Only a minimal mean variation in the position of the marginal bone level was observed, both at the mesial (0.11 ± 0.49 mm) and at the distal level (0.03 ± 0.19 mm). The bone lamina had been resorbed after 8 months, and new bone had developed in close connection to the biomaterial. The average percentage of newly formed bone was 28%, while only 10% of the samples were composed of residual biomaterial; bone marrow and connective tissue composed the remaining part of the samples. This regeneration technique allowed, thanks to the rigidity of the lamina, the regeneration of new bone, which is stable after the prosthetic load. Further studies are needed to compare this procedure with those adopting non-resorbable, titanium-supported membranes. Full article

(1) Background: The phenomenon of ankylosis of the dental elements has led clinicians to think that properly treated dentin and cement may be a potential graft for alveolar ridge augmentation. Currently, there are no studies in the literature able to histomorphometrically compare the healing patterns of an autogenous dentin particulate graft with the association, or not, of resorbable membranes. The aim of this pilot study is to histologically compare bone after an alveolar ridge augmentation using an autogenous dentin particulate graft with and without a resorbable collagen membrane. (2) Methods: this clinical trial enrolled six patients with defects requiring bone augmentation. Two procedures were performed in all six adult human patients in order to perform a study–control study: in Group 1, a ridge augmentation procedure with an autogenous dentin particulate graft and a resorbable collagen membrane was performed, and, in Group 2, an alveolar ridge preservation without a membrane was performed at the same time (T0). At 4 months, a biopsy of the bone tissues was performed using a 4 mm trephine bur in order to perform a histomorphometric analysis. (3) Results: The histomorphometric analysis demonstrated that Group 1 presented 45% of bone volume, 38% of vital bone, and 7% of residual graft. On the contrary, membrane-free regenerative procedures demonstrated 37% of bone volume, 9% of vital bone, and 27% of non-resorbed graft. In all cases, the regenerated bone allowed the insertion of implants with a standard platform, and no early failures were recorded. (4) Conclusions: Autogenous dentin particulate grafts seem to work best when paired with a membrane. Full article

Aim: The aim of this technical note is to present a computer-aided design–computer-aided manufacturing (CAD–CAM) surgical guide to perform a computer-guided bone biopsy. Traditionally, to diagnose abnormal conditions affecting jawbone, a bone biopsy is performed with the use of a trephine bur. The positioning of the bur, during the biopsy, is based on the skill of the surgeon; therefore, an inaccurate placement of a trephine bur may occur. The use of a guide, however, can minimize this risk and achieve a better result. Materials and Methods: To determine the site and the extension of bone sampling, the stereolithography file (STL) file of cone–beam computed tomography (CBCT) images is acquired using a specific planning software and superimposed with the STL file of a dental cast; a virtual surgical guide is designed, using the same software that allows a 3D (three-dimensional) view of the guide from different perspectives and planes. The number and site of guide tubes are determined on the basis of the width and the extension of the sampling; thanks to a 3D printer, the surgical guide is manufactured. Results: The use of a customized surgical guide realized with CAD–CAM technology allows a precise and minimally invasive approach, with an accurate three-dimensional localization of the biopsy site. Conclusions: The high precision, great predictability, time-effectiveness and versatility of the present guide should encourage the clinician to use this minimally invasive surgical approach, but controlled clinical trials should be conducted to evaluate the advantages as well as any possible complications.

To compare and contrast the accuracy of piezoelectric ultrasonic insert (PUI) and trephine bur (TB) osteotomy site preparation techniques for apical location. (1) Material and methods: A total of 138 osteotomy site preparations were randomly distributed into one of two study groups. Group A: TB technique (n = 69) and B: PUI technique (n = 69). A preoperative cone-beam computed tomography scan and an intraoral scan were performed and uploaded to implant-planning software to plan the virtual osteotomy site preparations for apical location. Subsequently, the osteotomy site preparations were performed in the experimental models with both osteotomy site preparation techniques and a postoperative CBCT scan was performed and uploaded into the implant-planning software and matched with the virtually planned osteotomy site preparations to measure the deviation angle and horizontal deviation as captured at the coronal entry point and apical end-point between osteotomy site preparations using Student’s t-test statistical analysis. (2) Results: The paired t-test found statistically significant differences at the coronal entry-point deviations (p = 0.0104) and apical end-point deviations (p = 0.0104) between the TB and PUI study groups; however, no statistically significant differences were found in the angular deviations (p = 0.309) between the trephine bur and piezoelectric ultrasonic insert study groups. (3) Conclusions: The results showed that the TB is more accurate than the PUI for apical location. Full article

After tooth extraction, notable ridge alterations occur due to resorption of bundle bones during the healing process. In areas with thin or damaged socket walls and multiple adjacent tooth extraction, dimensional changes are more prominent in the marginal proportion. In addition to the marginal changes, upper molar teeth are also vulnerable to pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. To reduce dimensional changes in extraction sockets, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is favored by many clinicians in areas where a large amount of dimensional change is expected. This case report presents two cases of ARP using collagenated demineralized bovine bone mineral and demineralized porcine bone mineral in the apically involved upper premolar and molar, respectively. Implants were placed one and two years, respectively, after the ARP. Radiographic analyses of residual bone height and volume were measured using cone-beam-computed tomography (CBCT) and histologic analysis of newly formed mineralized bone and residual graft material percentages were measured from the collected tissue samples using a trephine bur. Implants were placed using a simple technique, without any additional bone grafts at the marginal proportion. The ARP technique could maintain the alveolar bone height and volume, as well as minimize the invasiveness of surgical procedures during implant surgery. Full article

We evaluated and compared ultraviolet (UV) treatment and simvastatin (SIM) immersion effects on the osseointegration of sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA) titanium dental implants at two different time points in rabbit tibias, with or without xenogenic bone graft materials. The surface alteration on simvastatin treatment titanium discs was analyzed using an infrared spectrometer. Implants were categorized into four groups according to the surface treatment type. Twelve rabbits received two implants per tibia. A tibial defect model was created using a trephine bur, with implants in contact with the bone surface and bovine bone graft materials for gap filling. The rabbits were sacrificed after 2 or 4 weeks. UV treatment or SIM immersion increased the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) on nongrafted sides, and both increased the BIC and bone area (BA) on grafted sides. The application of both treatments did not result in higher BIC or BA than a single treatment. At two different time points, BIC in the nongrafted sides did not differ significantly among the UV and/or SIM treated groups, whereas BA differed significantly. UV or SIM treatment of SLA titanium implants accelerates osseointegration in tibias with or without xenogenic bone graft materials. The combination of both treatments did not show synergy.

The aim of the present study is to assess the clinical and histological healing of a post-extractive alveolus following the procedure for socket preservation, in a patient receiving oral bisphosphonates for more than 6 years. After the extraction, enzymatically-deantigenated horse bone granules and an equine pericardium membrane were used to preserve the tooth socket. The patient was placed on a monthly follow-up in order to monitor the healing process. A 3 mm trephine bur was used to drill the bone for implant site preparation and to collect the bone sample. No signs and symptoms related to osteonecrosis of the jaws were reported. Histological data showed that, after 5 months, the mean percentages of trabecular bone, bone marrow and residual bone graft were respectively 45.74 ± 0.09%, 48.09 ± 0.08%, and 6.16 ± 0.01%. The residual graft material appeared to be osteointegrated and none of the particles appeared to be encapsulated. The present case report supports the guidelines that assume that patients undergoing oral bisphosphonate therapy can be eligible for surgical therapy. More clinical studies with larger sample sizes are needed to support this clinical evidence. Full article

Aim: To evaluate the hypothesis of a correlation between the preoperative residual alveolar bone height (RBH) and graft maturation after maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedures using two different bone substitutes. Methods: A total of 20 patients who underwent unilateral maxillary sinus floor augmentation with either mineralized deproteinized bovine bone (DBBM) or a xenograft enriched with polymer and gelatin (NBS) were included in this prospective study. Six months after sinus surgery, bone biopsies were harvested with a 3.2 mm diameter trephine bur, prior to dental implant placement. Histomorphometric analysis was performed, and the results were correlated with the individual RBH. Implants were loaded after 5 months of insertion, and 1-year implant success and marginal bone level change were assessed. Results: RBH was 2.17 ± 1.11 mm (range 0.5–3.5 mm) and 2.14 ± 0.72 mm (range 0.5–3.0 mm) in the NBS and DBBM group, respectively. The biopsy analyses for the DBBM group showed woven bone increases by 5.08% per 1-mm increment of RBH; medullary spaces decreased by 9.02%, osteoid decreased by 4.4%, residual biomaterial decreased by 0.34%, and lamellar bone increased by 5.68% per 1-mm increase of RBH. In the NBS group, samples showed woven bone increases by 8.08% per 1-mm increase of RBH; medullary spaces decreased by 0.38%; osteoid increased by 1.34%, residual biomaterial decreased by 0.58%, and lamellar bone decreased by 5.50% per 1-mm increase of RBH. There was no statistically significant difference in the correlation between RBH and lamellar bone, woven bone, and osteoid, independently of the material used. Implant success was 100% in both groups, and marginal bone loss was 1.02 ± 0.42 mm in DBBM and 0.95 ± 0.31 mm in the NBS group after the 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: In spite of the absence of significance, the observed trend for woven bone to increase and medullary spaces to decrease when RBH increases deserves attention. Residual bone dimension might be a determinant in the bone graft maturation after maxillary sinus augmentation. Full article

Background: Survival of dental implants in well-controlled Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was found to be comparable to that in healthy patients. However, to our best knowledge, there have been no studies of the bone histomorphometry of osseointegration in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Purpose: To compare bone-implant-contact (BIC) and new bone formation between well-controlled Type 2 diabetes with HbA1c of less than 8% and healthy controls. Methods: 10 diabetic (T2DM) patients and 10 healthy controls were selected. Each patient received a 2.5 mm × 5 mm micro-implant in the maxilla, in either the premolar or first molar area. After 8 weeks of healing, the micro-implant was retrieved using a trephine bur and sent for bone histomorphometric analysis. A commercial titanium implant was immediately placed as the conventional treatment. Results: The mean BIC (30.73%) in T2DM patients was significantly lower than in the healthy patients (41.75%) (p = 0.01). New bone formation around the implant surface was reduced in T2DM patients (36.25%) compared to that in the control group (44.14%) (p = 0.028). The Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a strong correlation between increased HbA1c and decreased BIC (p < 0.05) and decreased new bone formation (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Within the limitation of this study, bone-to-implant contact and bone healing around dental implants in T2DM patients were significantly lower than in healthy patients. Full article

This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the effect of mineralized plasmatic matrix (MPM), comprised of synthetic graft and platelet concentrates, on new bone formation and volume stability over time in maxillary sinus lifting (MSL). Unilateral MSL was performed in 20 patients with either beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) or MPM grafts (10 sinuses each). Six months postsurgery, specimens were obtained with a trephine bur prior to implant placement in 39 cases. Volumetric changes in sinus augmentation were analyzed between 1 week (T-I) and 6 months (T-II) postsurgery. Histomorphometric and histological analyses of biopsy samples revealed mean new bone percentages of 35.40% ± 9.09% and 26.92% ± 7.26% and residual graft particle areas of 23.13% ± 6.16% and 32.25% ± 8.48% in the MPM and β-TCP groups, respectively (p < 0.05). The mean soft-tissue areas in the MPM and β-TCP groups were 41.48% ± 8.41% and 40.83% ± 8.86%, respectively (p > 0.05). Graft reductions between baseline and 6-months postprocedure in the β-TCP and MPM groups were 17.12% ± 13.55% and 14.41% ± 12.87%, respectively, with significant graft volume reduction observed in both groups (p < 0.05) while there is no significant difference between MPM and β-TCP groups (p > 0.05). Thus, MPM, representing growth factors in a fibrin network, increases new bone formation and has acceptable volume stability in MSL procedures Full article
