RESUMEN
AIM: To investigate whether transmucosal healing is as effective as submerged healing in terms of buccal bone regeneration when guided bone regeneration (GBR) is performed simultaneously with implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In six dogs, buccal dehiscence defects were created in the edentulous mandibular ridge, sized 5 × 5 × 3 mm (length × height × depth). In each defect, a bone-level implant was placed, and four experimental groups were randomly assigned as follows: (i) transmucosal healing with GBR (T-GBR), (ii) transmucosal healing without GBR (T-control), (iii) submerged healing with GBR (S-GBR) and (iv) submerged healing without GBR (S-control). Data analyses were based on histological slides 5 months after implant placement. RESULTS: The T-GBR group showed significant differences compared to the control groups regarding defect height resolution, buccal bone thickness and mineralized tissue area (p < .05), but showed no significant differences when compared with the S-GBR group (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS: The mode of healing (transmucosal vs. submerged) does not influence bone regeneration at implant sites. The clinician may therefore choose the approach based on further clinical and patient-specific parameters.

AIM: To test whether early implant placement into the extraction socket containing an uncalcified provisional matrix leads to successful osseointegration and stable marginal bone levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In six mongrel dogs, the mandibular molars were extracted. Three weeks later, early implant placement was performed according to three experimental protocols: (i) flapless implant placement with preservation of the provisional matrix; (ii) flap elevation, socket debridement and implant placement; and (iii) flap elevation, socket debridement, implant placement and guided bone regeneration (GBR). One untreated extraction socket served as a control group. Data analyses were based on histologic slides 3 months after implant placement. RESULTS: There were no differences in bone-to-implant contact between the three experimental groups (66.97%, 58.89% and 60.89%, respectively) (inter-group comparison p = .42). Marginal bone levels, first bone-to-implant contact as well as the thickness of the connective tissue did not reveal any significant differences between the groups (p = .85, .60 and .65, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Flapless early implant placement into posterior extraction sockets was as effective as an open flap approach in conjunction with GBR. Mineralization of the socket seems to occur irrespective of the presence of dental implants or biomaterials.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether combining cross-linked (CL) collagen-integrated xenogeneic bone blocks stabilized with the fixation of resorbable collagen membranes (CM) can enhance guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the overaugmented calvarial defect model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four circular defects with a diameter of 8 mm were prepared in the calvarium of 13 rabbits. Defects were randomly assigned to receive one of the following treatments: (i) non-cross-linked (NCL) porcine-derived collagen-embedded bone block covered by a CM without fixation (NCL + unfix group); (ii) NCL bone block covered by CM with fixation using bone-tack (NCL + fix group); (iii) cross-linked (CL) porcine-derived collagen-embedded bone block covered by CM without fixation (CL + unfix group); and (iv) CL bone block covered by CM with fixation using bone-tack fixation (CL + fix group). The efficacy of GBR was assessed through histological and molecular analyses after 2 and 8 weeks. RESULTS: At 2 weeks, there were no significant differences in histologically measured areas of newly formed bone among the groups. At 8 weeks, however, the CL + fix group exhibited a larger area of new bone (5.08 ± 1.09 mm2, mean ± standard deviation) compared to the NCL + unfix (1.62 ± 0.42 mm2; p < .0083), NCL + fix (3.97 ± 1.39 mm2) and CL + unfix (2.55 ± 1.04 mm2) groups. Additionally, the expression levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha, fibroblast growth factor-2, vascular endothelial growth factor, osteocalcin and calcitonin receptor were significantly higher in the CL + fix group compared to the other three groups (p < .0083). CONCLUSION: Cross-linked bone blocks stabilized with collagen membrane fixation can significantly enhance GBR.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the early impact of plaque accumulation in a buccal dehiscence defect on peri-implant marginal bone resorption. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In six male Mongrel dogs, four dental implants were placed in the posterior maxilla on both sides (two implants per side). Based on the group allocation, each implant was randomly assigned to one of the following four groups to decide whether buccal dehiscence defect was prepared and whether silk ligation was applied at 8 weeks post-implant placement for peri-implantitis induction: UC (no defect without ligation); UD (defect without ligation); LC (no defect with ligation); and LD (defect with ligation) groups. Eight weeks after disease induction, the outcomes from radiographic and histologic analyses were statistically analyzed (p < .05). RESULTS: Based on radiographs, the exposed area of implant threads was smallest in group UC (p < .0083). Based on histology, both the distances from the implant platform to the first bone-to-implant contact point and to the bone crest were significantly longer in the LD group (p < .0083). In the UD group, some spontaneous bone fill occurred from the base of the defect at 8 weeks after implant placement. The apical extension of inflammatory cell infiltrate was significantly more prominent in the LD and LC groups compared to the UC group (p < .0083). CONCLUSION: Plaque accumulated on the exposed implant surface had a negative impact on maintaining the peri-implant marginal bone level, especially when there was a dehiscence defect around the implant.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of a self-retaining block-type bone substitute (srBB) on the dimensional stability of the horizontal ridge width at the coronal level in a buccal dehiscence model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four box-shaped bone defects with a buccal dehiscence were surgically prepared in the partially edentulous mandible (n = 6). Experimental biomaterials were randomly assigned to each site: (1) Control group: no treatment, (2) particle-type bone substitute (PBS) group, (3) collagenated soft block bone substitute (csBB) group, and (4) self-retaining synthetic block bone (srBB) group. In all grafted groups, a collagen membrane covered the biomaterials. At 16 weeks, clinical, histological, and radiographic analyses were performed. RESULTS: Three of the six blocks in the srBB group became exposed and fell out during the first week after surgery. Therefore, the remaining three specimens were renamed RsrBB group. The RsrBB group showed an increase horizontal ridge compared to the pristine bone width at 2-4 mm below the CEJ, while the other groups showed resorption (augmented width at 2 mm below: 4.2, 42.4, 36.2, and 110.1% in the control, PBS, csBB, and RsrBB groups, respectively). The mineralized bone area was largest in the RsrBB group (4.74, 3.44, 5.67, and 7.77 mm2 in the control, PBS, csBB, and RsrBB groups, respectively.). CONCLUSIONS: The srBB group demonstrated the highest volume stability at the coronal level. These findings would potentially suggest that self-retaining block bone substitute might be a good candidate for alveolar ridge preservation.

AIM: To compare the peri-implant soft-tissue dimensional changes following guided bone regeneration between particulate (particle group) and collagenated soft-block-type (block group) biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study investigated 35 subjects: 18 in the particle group and 17 in the block group. Cone-beam computed tomography obtained at 6 months post surgery and optical impressions taken periodically (before surgery, 6 months post surgery, and 1 year post surgery) were superimposed. The ridge contour changes over time and the peri-implant mucosal thicknesses were measured diagonally and horizontally, and analysed statistically. RESULTS: The increases in diagonal (1.12 ± 0.78 mm) and horizontal (2.79 ± 1.90 mm) ridge contour of the block group were significantly higher than those in the particle group during the first 6 months (p < .05); however, the contour hardly changed thereafter (diagonal: 0.07 ± 0.75 mm; horizontal: -0.34 ± 1.26 mm), resulting in the 1-year contour changes similar between the two groups. Regardless of the type of BCP, the ridge contour increased significantly over 1 year when the dehiscence defect had a contained configuration (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS: The increase in soft-tissue dimensions for 1 year was similar between the two groups. The mucosal contour increase was larger when the surgery was conducted in a more contained defect, and this was not influenced by the type of BCP.

BACKGROUND: The fixture thread depth reportedly influences the primary stability of dental implant, but its effect on the positional accuracy in immediate implant placement has not been reported previously. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-six single-rooted, anterior and premolar teeth were extracted from six human cadavers, followed by installing either regular-threaded implants (RT group, N = 30) or deep-threaded implants (DT group, N = 26) completely relying on the surgical guide. Optical impressions taken after osteotomy and fixture installation were superimposed with the preoperative virtual planning data to measure the vertical, angular, platform and apex deviations that occurred during osteotomy and installation. RESULTS: While the osteotomy deviations were similar between the two groups, the angular and apex deviation of the DT group (2.67 ± 2.56°; 1.04 ± 0.49 mm, respectively) were significantly larger than those of the RT group (1.61 ± 1.04°; 0.67 ± 0.41 mm, respectively) during installation (p < .05). When the installation deviations were analysed in the anterior and premolar areas separately, the angular, platform and apex deviations of the DT group (3.05 ± 3.26°; 0.75 ± 0.32 mm; 1.08 ± 0.56 mm, respectively) were significantly larger than those of the RT group (1.56 ± 0.73°, 0.59 ± 0.28 mm; 0.62 ± 0.38 mm, respectively) in the anterior site (p < .05), whereas there was no significant intergroup difference in the premolar site. CONCLUSION: In immediate-implant surgery, using an implant with a deeper thread might increase the deviations during installation, especially in the anterior area.

AIM: To assess the effect of Schneiderian membrane (SM) perforation on bone formation by applying a particulate deproteinized bovine bone mineral (PBBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bilateral sinus augmentation was performed in eight rabbits. The same amount of PBBM was placed at a sinus where the SM was intentionally perforated for the perforation group (standardized to 3 mm diameter) and the other sinus with an intact SM that served as the intact group. At 12 weeks, all animals were euthanized for radiographic and histomorphometric analyses. RESULTS: The area of the newly formed bone in the perforation group was significantly less than that in the intact group (18.7% and 25.5%, respectively, p = .028). The newly formed bone in the area close to the perforated SM was significantly less than that in the intact group (18.7% and 26.1%, respectively, p < .05). However, there was no significant difference in the total augmented area (p = .234) and the total augmented volume (p = .382) between the two groups. CONCLUSION: SM perforation had an adverse effect on new bone formation, predominantly close to the area of membrane perforation. However, no significant difference was found in the total augmented volume between the SM perforation and the intact groups.

AIM: To test the effect of membrane fixation on ridge volume stability and new bone formation using guided bone regeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In eight beagle dogs, after bilateral extraction of the maxillary pre-molars, a box-shaped defect was created on each side. All defect sites were augmented with a particulate bone substitute material, covered with either one of two non-cross-linked collagen membranes (CM1 or CM2) with or without fixation (-F or -UF). Samples were collected after 8 weeks. Histomorphometric and micro-computed tomography analyses were performed. RESULTS: Membrane fixation made no significant difference to the total augmented volume for both membranes (p > .05). Histological data indicated that at the ridge crest the augmented tissue width amounted to 2.4 ± 0.4 mm in the group CM1-F and 2.4 ± 0.5 mm in the group CM1-UF, with no significant difference between the groups. Conversely, in CM2-F the augmented tissue width was significantly larger than in CM2-UF (2.3 ± 0.1 vs. 1.57 ± 0.27, p < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Membrane fixation in contained defects failed to improve ridge volume stability regardless of the membrane type. However, it may enhance the width of the augmented ridge at the coronal portion depending on the type of membrane.

AIM: To test whether soft-type block bone substitute used for guided bone regeneration (GBR) of peri-implant defects leads to a different dimension of the augmented hard tissue than particulate bone substitute. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 40 patients, 40 two-piece dental implants were placed >2 months after tooth extraction. Following random allocation, 20 peri-implant bone dehiscences were grafted with a soft-type block made of synthetic biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) + collagen and 20 bone dehiscences with particulate BCP. All the sites were covered with a collagen membrane stabilized with titanium pins. Immediately after wound closure and after 6 months, the horizontal dimension (HD) of the augmented hard tissue was measured at the level of implant shoulder using cone beam computed tomography. During re-entry at 6 months, the defect fill was clinically assessed. RESULTS: At 6 months, the median HD measured 1.15 mm (mean: 1.31 mm) in the soft-block group and 0.93 mm (mean: 1.05 mm) in the particulate group (p = .6). At 6 months, 7.1% of contained defects and 61.9% of non-contained defects showed an incomplete vertical defect fill. CONCLUSIONS: Soft-type block of BCP + collagen used for GBR of peri-implant defects did not differ from particulate BCP regarding the dimension of the augmented hard tissue after 6 months of healing.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome after extensive lateral guided bone regeneration using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) with or without autogenous bone chips in a canine model of chronic horizontal alveolar ridge defect. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The second, third and fourth lower premolars of both sides were extracted, and the buccal bone walls were completely removed in five beagle dogs. After 4 weeks, DBBM particles mixed with autogenous bone chips at a ratio of 1:1 were grafted at one side (DBBM/Auto group), while DBBM particles alone were grafted at the contralateral side (DBBM group). The graft materials on both sides were covered by a resorbable collagen membrane and fixation pins. Microcomputed tomographic volume and histomorphometric analyses were performed at 16 weeks post-surgery. RESULTS: The ridges of both groups were recovered horizontally, but new bone formation beyond the original ridge contour at the defect site was not found. The DBBM group exhibited a larger total radiographic augmented volume and new bone volume compared with the DBBM/Auto group, but the differences were minimal (p > .05). Histologically, the regenerated area and new bone area were also slightly larger without any statistical significance in the DBBM group than in the DBBM/Auto group (p > .05). CONCLUSION: The addition of autogenous bone chips to DBBM for lateral ridge augmentation may confer no advantage over grafting DBBM alone with respect to both space maintenance and de novo bone formation in dogs.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the osseointegration of calcium-coated (CS) and chemically modified, sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (MS) dental implants with a lack of primary mechanical stability. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighteen implants in CS and MS groups each were loosely placed in the mandible of six mongrel dogs and allowed to heal for 2, 4 and 8 weeks. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) and implant stability test (IST) values recorded periodically and bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and the number of Haversian canals per 1 mm2 measured histologically were statistically analysed (p < .05). RESULTS: All CS and MS implants placed survived. Compared with immediately after installation, ISQ and IST values in both groups increased significantly to over 76 at 2 weeks (p < .0083) and remained stable thereafter. BIC was significantly greater at 8 weeks (61.3 ± 13.6% in CS group; 57.6 ± 5.9% in MS group) compared to 2 and 4 weeks in both groups (p < .017). There were no significant intergroup differences in ISQ, IST or BIC at different time points. Significantly more Haversian canals were observed in group CS (6.2 ± 1.0/mm2 ) compared with group MS at 4 weeks (3.7 ± 1.8 /mm2 ; p < .05), while intergroup difference was not significant at 8 weeks. CONCLUSION: Both CS and MS implants inserted without primary stability obtained osseointegration within 2 weeks, and lamellar bone adjacent to the implants was first observed at 8 weeks. The formation of primary osteons was more active at 4 weeks in group CS than in group MS.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical, radiographic, and histological healing patterns between the immediate and delayed applications of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in damaged extraction sockets in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The distal roots of the fourth premolars of the mandible were extracted bilaterally in five beagle dogs, and buccal bone defects (4 mm wide and 9 mm high) were surgically created. Collagenated biphasic calcium phosphate (CBCP) soaked for 10 min in 100 µL of BMP-2 solution was applied immediately to the defect site in the control group. In the test group, the BMP-2 solution of same dose was injected into the grafted site 2 weeks after grafting with a saline-soaked CBCP. The dogs were sacrificed 2 weeks later. Clinical, histological, and radiographic analyses were followed. RESULTS: Swelling and inflammatory reactions were predominantly observed in the control group at 2 weeks. The area of new bone formation was significantly larger in the control group compared with the test group (10.8 ± 7.0 mm2 [mean ± SD] and 6.3 ± 3.1 mm2, respectively; p = 0.043). No significant difference was found in ridge width at 2 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm below the lingual bone crest between the control (2.6 ± 1.0 mm, 3.2 ± 0.9 mm and 4.5 ± 0.5 mm, respectively) and test group (3.3 ± 1.0 mm, 3.7 ± 1.3 mm and 4.2 ± 1.0 mm; all p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Delayed application of BMP-2 2 weeks after surgery did not show any advantage over immediate application of BMP-2 in terms of new bone formation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study suggests that it might be better to apply BMP-2 immediately in alveolar ridge preservation, instead of delayed application, in order to enhance new bone formation.

AIM: The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine clinical benefits of ridge preservation in terms of surgical invasiveness of implant placement compared to natural healing in the maxilla. MATERIALS & METHODS: This study included 178 patients with 206 implants placed at ridge-preserved sites and 493 patients with 656 implants placed at naturally healed sites in maxillary anterior and posterior regions. Patient- and implant-related data were collected from electronic dental records including additional augmentation procedures performed before or during implant placement and surgical complications. Cumulative survival rate was assessed using Kaplan-Meier method. The annual peri-implant marginal bone loss between the two groups was compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: The follow-up period was 24.4 ± 18.1 months (mean ± standard deviation) for ridge-preserved sites and 45.7 ± 29.6 months for naturally healed sites. Sinus augmentation was performed at similar frequencies in the two groups, but lateral approach was applied significantly more at naturally healed sites (37.2%) than ridge-preserved sites (8.3%, p ≤ .001). There was no intergroup difference in the cumulative survival rate or annual peri-implant marginal bone loss. CONCLUSION: Ridge preservation can be clinically beneficial for minimizing the invasiveness of implant surgery by simplifying the procedure when sinus augmentation is expected in the maxilla.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of a collagenated synthetic bone substitute (C-SBS) to a particulated synthetic bone substitute (P-SBS) in volume maintenance and new bone formations in a rabbit sinus model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Either C-SBS or P-SBS was grafted in both sinuses of 16 rabbits. Four (N = 8) or 12 (N = 8) weeks after the surgery, total augmented volume (TAV) and area (TAA), as well as new bone volume (NBV) and area (NBA), were statistically compared by radiographic and histomorphometric analyses (p < .05). RESULTS: The differences in TAV, NBV, TAA and NBA between C-SBS and P-SBS groups at 4 weeks were not statistically significant. The TAV (267.13 ± 62.08 vs. 200.18 ± 40.32 mm3 ) and NBV (103.26 ± 10.50 vs. 71.10 ± 7.58 mm3 ) in group C-SBS were significantly higher than in group P-SBS at 12 weeks (p < .05). The TAA (19.36 ± 2.88 vs. 14.48 ± 2.08 mm2 ) and NBA (5.43 ± 1.20 vs. 3.76 ± 0.78 mm2 ) in group C-SBS were significantly higher than in group P-SBS at 12 weeks (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Collagenated synthetic bone substitute grafted in rabbit sinuses demonstrated more favourable outcomes across all outcome measures compared to P-SBS at 12 weeks.

OBJECTIVES: This study histologically analyzed biopsy samples obtained from sites of damaged extraction socket grafting using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) or deproteinized porcine bone mineral (DPBM) with coverage by a collagen membrane. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred patients participated in this randomized controlled clinical trial of extraction socket grafts performed in cases of periodontally compromised teeth. All participants were blinded to their group allocations, and each material was grafted with coverage by collagen membranes after extraction of the tooth and removal of granulation tissue. At implant placement at 4 months, a biopsy was harvested at the implant site using a trephine was analyzed histologically. RESULTS: Eighty-five biopsy samples were acquired, of which 81 were finally included in the histologic analysis (42 in DBBM and 39 in DPBM group). Both DBBM and DPBM groups showed comparable proportions of residual biomaterial (12.37 ± 5.67% and 12.21 ± 5.75%, respectively), newly formed bone (15.07 ± 10.52% and 18.47 ± 11.47%, respectively), and nonmineralized tissue (72.56 ± 10.07% and 71.55 ± 15.47%, respectively). There were no significant differences in these histologic parameters between the two groups with different biomaterials. CONCLUSION: Comparable histologic bone formation was found in both socket grafted groups with DBBM or DPBM covered by collagen membranes in periodontally damaged extraction sockets. However, a wide variation in new bone formation was found after 4 months of postsurgical healing and a tendency of higher new bone formation was shown at damaged sockets that had an intact unilateral residual wall regardless of buccal or lingual side.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the positional accuracy of implants placed with a three-dimensionally printed template having nonmetal sleeves and to determine the contributing factors to observed deviations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and eighty-seven implants placed in 72 patients were analyzed. Presurgical intraoral scans and cone-beam computed tomography images obtained before and after surgery were superimposed, and vertical, angular, platform, and apex deviations were measured between the virtually planned and actually placed positions. A multiple linear regression model was designed for identifying the contributing factors. Statistical significance was set at p < .05, with Bonferroni correction if necessary (p < .0167). RESULTS: A total of 187 implants demonstrated deviations of 0.65 [0.56, 0.75] mm (mean [95% confidence interval]) vertically, 3.59° [3.30°, 3.89°] angularly, 1.16 [1.04, 1.28] mm at platform, and 1.50 [1.36, 1.65] mm at apex. Implants placed in the mandible showed larger angular, platform, and apex deviations compared with those in the maxilla (p = .049, p = .014 and p = .003, respectively). Implants placed at the third or fourth nearest sites from the most-distal tooth had larger deviations than those placed at the first or second nearest sites, in vertical, platform, and apical aspects (p = .015, p = .011 andp = .018, respectively). This was only applicable to free-ending-supported templates (p < .0167), and anchor pin-supported free-ending templates (p < .0167). CONCLUSION: Using a three-dimensionally printed surgical template with a nonmetal sleeve in the partial edentulous ridge resulted in larger deviations in implants placed in the mandible or distal free-end third or fourth nearest site.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the histologic and volumetric changes of gingival tissues following grafting with collagen-based matrices at labial aspect of teeth in canines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gingival augmentation was performed in the mandibular incisor area using two types of xenogeneic cross-linked collagen matrices (CCMs), bovine CCM for BCCM group and porcine CCM for PCCM group, whereas the contralateral sides remained untreated (B-control group and P-control group). Descriptive histology, histometric and volumetric analyses were performed after 12 weeks. For statistical comparison between each test group and respective control group, paired t test was used for histometric analysis, and repeated-measured analysis of variance was used for volumetric analysis (p < 0.05). RESULTS: An increased number of rete pegs and an enhanced formation of new blood vessels were observed at both grafted sites compared to the corresponding control sites. There was statistically significant gain of horizontal thickness only in BCCM group (1.36 ± 0.27 mm vs. 1.26 ± 0.34 mm; p < 0.05) compared to the B-control groups. CONCLUSION: BCCM was effective for gingival augmentation in terms of horizontal thickness at the labial aspect of teeth at 12 weeks post-surgery.

OBJECTIVES: To test whether or not alveolar ridge preservation reduces vertical changes in the posterior maxilla compared to spontaneous healing following tooth extraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty subjects requiring extraction of maxillary posterior teeth with root apices protruding into the maxillary sinus floor were consecutively enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned to either one of two surgical interventions: an alveolar ridge preservation procedure using collagenated bovine bone mineral and a resorbable collagen membrane (test) or no grafting (control). Cone-beam computed tomographies were taken immediately and at 6 months after surgery, prior to dental implant placement. RESULTS: Based on radiographic data, the level of the sinus floor remained stable over time (baseline to 6 months) in the test group (-0.14 mm [-0.31, -0.02]). In the control group, the sinus floor level shifted more coronally (-1.16 mm [-1.73, -0.61]) than the test group (p < 0.05). The test group demonstrated a significantly larger residual bone height than the control group at 6 months (7.30 mm [6.36, 8.20] vs. 4.83 mm [3.94, 5.76], respectively, p < 0.05). Implant placement without any additional sinus augmentation procedure was performed in 42.9% of test group cases, whereas in all of the subjects in the control group an additional augmentation procedure was needed (100% of the cases). CONCLUSION: Alveolar ridge preservation in the posterior maxilla maintained the vertical bone height more efficiently and resulted in less need for sinus augmentation procedures at 6 months compared to spontaneous healing.

PURPOSE: The present experiment aimed to evaluate the placement accuracy of fully guided implant surgery using a mucosa-supported surgical guide when the protocol of osteotomy and installation was modified (MP) compared to when the protocol was sequentially and conventionally carried out (CP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: For 24 mandibular dentiform models, 12 dentists (6 experts and 6 beginners) performed fully guided implant placements two times at the right first and second molar sites using a mucosa-supported surgical guide, once by the CP (CP group) and at the other time by the MP (MP group). The presurgical and postsurgical stereolithographic images were superimposed, and the deviations between the virtually planned and actually placed implant positions and the procedure time were compared statistically (P < .05). RESULTS: The accuracies were similar in the CP and MP groups. In the CP group, the mean platform and apex deviations at the second molar site for the beginners were +0.75 mm and +1.14 mm, respectively, which were significantly larger than those for the experts (P < .05). In the MP group, only the mean vertical deviation at the second molar site for the beginners (+0.53 mm) was significantly larger than that for the experts (P < .05). The procedure time was significantly longer for the MP group (+94.0 sec) than for the CP group (P < .05). CONCLUSION: In fully guided implant surgery using a mucosa-supported guide, the MP may improve the placement accuracy when compared to the CP, especially at sites farther from the most-posterior natural tooth.
