Hard and soft tissue integration of immediate and delayed implants with a modified coronal macrodesign: Histological, micro‐CT and volumetric soft tissue changes from a pre‐clinical in vivo study

Abstract

Triangular implants showed similar percentage of osseointegration, buccal bone volume and soft tissue contours, although attaining greater buccal crestal bone width. No differences were found in regard to soft tissue dimensions and the position of the first bone-to-implant contact.

Ridge alterations after implant placement in fresh extraction sockets or in healed crests: An experimental in vivo investigation

“…Factors such as implant diameter and implant position (Caneva et al, ), the thickness of the buccal bone plate (Araujo, Wennstrom, & Lindhe, ), flapless versus flapped surgical intervention (Blanco, Nunez, Aracil, Munoz, & Ramos, ), or the use of biomaterials filling the gap (Araujo, Linder, & Lindhe, ) are known factors that may influence the vertical resorption of the buccal bone wall. Results from the present investigation are in partial disagreement with those reported in a recent publication using a similar study design but aimed to evaluate the influence of a new implant coronal geometry, where the observed vertical buccal bone resorption ranged between 1 and 1.5 mm at both immediate and delayed implant sites (Sanz‐Martin et al, ). The longer healing period may in part explain these differences.…”

“…The surgical protocol has been described in detail in a previous report (Sanz‐Martin et al, ). This first intervention consisted on the extraction of first premolar (1P1) and the extraction of the mesial roots of the second premolar and first molar (2P2 and 1M1) after their hemi‐section.…”

Effect of implant neck design on primary and secondary implant stability in the posterior maxilla: A prospective randomized controlled study

“…However, the neo-formed bone filling the gaps needs time to mature into cortical bone (Berglundh, Abrahamsson, Lang, & Lindhe, 2003). Using a dog model, Sanz-Martin et al (2017) recently showed that at 4 weeks-most gaps between the TN implant and the bone were filled by immature cortical bone and were completely filled after 12 weeks of healing. This result still needs to be verified in humans.…”

A novel methodological approach using superimposed Micro‐CT and STL images to analyze hard and soft tissue volume in immediate and delayed implants with different cervical designs

“…The experimental study was carried out at the Experimental Surgical Centre of the Hospital “Gomez‐Ulla” in Madrid, Spain, once the Regional Ethical Committee for Animal Research approved the study protocol (Code: ES280790000187). This investigation reports the results from a subset analysis of the specimens whose histological results are reported in a separate publication (Sanz‐Martin et al, ).…”
