Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on new biomaterials in periodontology and implantology aims to highlight the cutting-edge advancements and interdisciplinary approaches that are shaping the future of dental treatments. It is dedicated to exploring the role of biomaterials in enhancing the efficacy, durability, and biocompatibility of periodontal and implant therapies. It seeks to bridge the gap in translational research by showcasing novel materials, technologies, and methodologies that promise to revolutionize patient care in periodontology and implantology.

The scope of this Special Issue encompasses, but is not limited to, the development and characterization of new biomaterials, advances in tissue engineering for periodontal and peri-implant regeneration, innovations in implant surface modifications, and the application of nanotechnology in dental implants, including in the treatment of peri-implant diseases. By compiling research articles, reviews, and case reports, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current trends, challenges, and future directions in the field.

Situated within the existing literature, this Special Issue will serve as a critical resource for researchers, clinicians, and academics, encouraging the exchange of ideas and fostering collaborations across disciplines. It aims to fill gaps in our knowledge, challenge existing paradigms, and inspire further research and development in the quest for more effective and patient-friendly periodontal and implantology solutions.

This study aimed to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes, including implant survival, marginal bone loss, and patient satisfaction, in individuals with severe bone atrophy treated using a newly developed system of short and extra-short implants. A total of 44 implants (37 short and 7 extra-short) were placed with immediate loading in 11 patients. The patients were followed up at between 6 and 24 months. Bone changes, keratinized mucosa, bleeding on probing, probing depth, crown-to-implant ratio, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. An implant survival and success rate of 100% was observed. The peri-implant bone condition showed no significant associations between marginal bone loss (MBL) and gingival recession. In extra-short implants, the crown-to-implant ratio did not affect MBL in the evaluated times. However, short implants showed a statistically significant inverse correlation between mesial measurement and crown-to-implant ratio (p = 0.006) and between distal measurement and crown-to-implant ratio (p = 0.004) over six months. Plaque was present in the mesiobuccal regions in 38.64% of the implants, with extra-short implants having the highest relative frequency (71.4%). Bleeding was observed in 18.9% of the short implants in the mesiolingual region and 14.3% of the extra-short implants. There was a statistically significant association between bleeding on probing in the mesiobuccal region and the type of implant (p = 0.026). The analysis of probing depth showed no difference between the types of implants. Within the limits of this study, short and extra-short implants presented similar clinical and radiographic behavior of soft and hard tissues in the evaluated times. Full article
