Dent J (Basel). 2024 Sep 24;12(10):298. Digital workflow and intraoral scanners (IOSs) are used to clinically obtain data for a wide range of applications in restorative dentistry. The study aimed to compare two different IOSs with inexperienced users in the digital workflow of oral split manufacturing.

Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2024;44(5):544-555. This study compared the survival, marginal bone loss (MBL), and prosthetic complications of 4.5-mm extra-short implants and longer implants splinted to the short implants via the restoration. A retrospective controlled cohort study was performed. The 4.5-mm extra-short group (study group; SG) included 48 consecutively placed implants. The control group (CG) included 48 implants splinted to the extra-short implants.

Dent J (Basel). 2024 Sep 13;12(9):292. This randomized controlled split-mouth trial compared the performance of 5.5 mm length implants (test group; TG) splinted within the same fixed prosthesis as longer implants (≥6.5 mm; control group; CG) in posterior regions.

Cureus. 2024 Jun 4;16(6):e61658 There is a lack of consensus on managing resultant bone and soft tissue defects or on restoring oral function and aesthetics following medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) lesion healing. This clinical challenge presents a dilemma for practitioners. Removable prostheses pose a recurrence risk if poorly fitted and may inadequately restore function or aesthetics in cases of significant bone defect. Dental implant-supported prostheses could enhance function and quality of life, though their risks and indications are not well-defined. This systematic review examines the clinical outcomes and complications associated with implant-supported rehabilitations post-MRONJ surgery. This study was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement recommendations and it was pre-registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42023492539).

Int J Implant Dent . 2024 Feb 5;10(1):4 The aim of this study was to assess implant survival and complications rate of modern subperiosteal implants (CAD designed and additively manufactured).
