RESUMO
This study aimed to evaluate, through histomorphometric analysis, the bone repair process in the tibia of rats treated with zoledronic acid and submitted to 808-nm low-level laser therapy (LLLT) by using arsenide aluminum gallium laser. For this purpose, 20 rats were used and distributed according to treatment: group 1-saline administration; group 2-treated with LLLT; group 3-treated with zoledronic acid; and group 4-treated with zoledronic acid and LLLT. The zoledronic acid was administered at a dose of 0.035 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. Subsequently, bone defects of 2 mm were prepared in the tibias of all groups. The bone defects in groups 2 and 4 were irradiated with LLLT in the immediate post-operative period. After 14 and 28 days of application, the animals were submitted and euthanized for histomorphometric analysis. The results were submitted to statistical analysis (α = 5%), and the intragroup comparison was performed using the t test. On the other hand, for intergroup comparison, the ANOVA test was performed, and to the groups presenting statistically significant difference, the Student-Newman-Keuls test was used. In intergroup comparison, group 1 (mean ± SD= 45.2 ± 18.56%) showed a lower bone formation compared with groups 2 (64.13 ± 3.51%) (p = 0.358) and 4 (15.2 ± 78.22%) (p = 0.049), at the 14-day period. Group 3 (20.99 ± 7.42%) also presented a lower amount of neoformed bone tissue, with statistically significant difference when compared with groups 1 (p = 0.002), 2, and 4 (p ≤ 0,001). After 28 days, group 1 presented a lower amount of neoformed bone tissue compared with the other groups, with p = 0.020. Thus, it was concluded that LLLT associated with zoledronic acid is effective for stimulating bone formation in surgically created defects in rats, at the periods studied.

Dental implant fixation techniques are widely studied in order to reduce surgical morbidity. Computer-guided flapless surgery has been considered an efficient alternative that presents several advantages and some limitations. This technique allows the virtual planning and simulation of the prosthetic-surgical treatment that can help predict the difficulties and limitations in order to reduce possible errors. In addition to the prosthetic predictability, computer-guided surgery enhances accuracy and reduces surgical morbidity. Thus, the aim of this study was to report on a 7-year follow-up of immediately loaded implants inserted into an edentulous maxilla using virtual planning and flapless surgery.
Las técnicas de fijación del implante dental se estudian ampliamente para reducir la morbilidad quirúrgica. La cirugía sin flapless guiada por ordenador ha sido considerada como una alternativa eficiente con varias ventajas y algunas limitaciones. Esta técnica permite la planificación virtual y simulación del tratamiento protésico quirúrgico con la predicción de las dificultades y limitaciones para reducir posibles errores. Además de la previsibilidad de prótesis, la cirugía guiada por ordenador mejora la precisión y reduce la morbilidad quirúrgica. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue reportar a 5 años de seguimiento de los implantes de carga inmediata insertados en un maxilar desdentado utilizando la planificación virtual y la cirugía sin colgajo. El presente caso prospectivo informó el éxito del tratamiento y destacó la importancia de la planificación, lo que justifica el costo de esta tecnología.

As fraturas de mandíbulas após a instalação de implante são pouco descritas na literatura e, geralmente, estão relacionadas ao enfraquecimento ósseo devido à baixa densidade e vascularização desse osso em idosos. Este relato de caso clínico associado à revisão de literatura tem o objetivo de apresentar um caso de fratura de mandíbula tardia após a instalação de implantes e aplicação de carga imediata. No presente caso, uma paciente de 86 anos de idade, do gênero feminino, foi submetida à instalação de 4 implantes dentários, entre os forames mentuais, seguida de prótese do tipo protocolo inferior com carga imediata. Passado 3 semanas do procedimento cirúrgico foi diagnosticado a fratura incompleta do ângulo mandibular direito. O tratamento dessa paciente foi conservador com orientação dietética, prescrição medicamentosa e acompanhamento por 60 dias. Após o período de 180 dias foi constatado o reparo completo da região. Com base nesse caso clínico foi possível concluir que o tratamento conservador é uma alternativa viável para o tratamento de fratura mandibular tardia após a instalação de implantes dentários...
The atrophic mandible fractures after the installation of the implant are widely described in the literature and generally relate to a weakening due to low bone density and that bone vascularity in the elderly. This case report associated clinical literature review aims to present a case of atrophic mandible fractures caused after installation of dental implants. In this case, a 86 year-old female, underwent installation of 4 dental implants, among mentuals foramen, then the type of prosthesis with immediate loading protocol below. Last three weeks of the surgical procedure was diagnosed incomplete fracture of the right mandibular angle. The treatment of this patient was conservatively with dietary counseling, prescriptions and follow- -up for 60 days. After of period 180 days it was found complete repair of the region. Based on this case study it was con-cluded that conservative treatment is a viable alternative for the treatment of atrophic mandibular fracture after installation of dental implants...
