All-on-four treatment in an atrophic mandible using dynamic guided surgery
Dr Jacques Vermeulen, France
The all-on-four technique for dental implant treatment is universally recognised for its efficacy, yet its applicability for atrophic mandibles remains problematic for many implant surgeons. Implant placement in such clinical situations requires high precision to avoid anatomical structures such as the mental foramina and to ensure that the bone volume around the implants is sufficient for osseointegration...

Cystic lesion management with enucleation and reconstruction followed by delayed implant placement for maxillary premolars
Dr Ali Tunkiwala & Darshan Parulkar, India
It is common practice to use delayed implant placement in patients whose teeth have been lost due to infection in the site. In case of long-term pre-existing infections, there is always a possibility that the implants will be negatively affected. According to Resnik and Misch, this occurs primarily because of the microbial interference in the healing process caused by pre-existing inflammation.1 Pre-existing inflammatory conditions such as periodontitis will release inflammatory factors, increasing the risk of secondary infection.2, 3 However, animal research, human case reports and case series, and prospective studies have confirmed that there is no difference in the success rates of delayed implant placement in sites associated with chronic periapical pathology and immediate implant placement in similar conditions.4, 5 This case report aims to illustrate the workflow involved in managing a cystic lesion around a maxillary first premolar with a staged grafting approach and delayed implant placement...

Tooth loss due to endodontic or periodontal problems is generally associated with loss of bony structures. The consequent insertion of an implant demands the restoration of bony structures, which is a procedure of varying complexity.1 Bone block transplantations and guided bone regeneration (GBR) have demonstrated predict- able and successful outcomes as therapeutic methods for alveolar ridge augmentation in dental implantology.2 Autologous bone transplants are generally accepted to be the gold standard in augmentation surgery..3, 4
