Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the invention of the "osseointegration" phenomenon by Professor Branemark, dental implantology has rapidly evolved into the standard of care in the treatment of tooth loss. Thanks to a cascade of clinical and technological advancements, many cases that were not treatable by means of a fixed prosthesis in the past can now be rehabilitated seamlessly with implant-supported fixed prostheses. Any newly evolving discipline requires the output of robust science provided by proper research results, thereby fulfilling the information gaps that eventually became the clinical guide. With this Special Issue, I invite researchers and clinicians to contribute to this magnificent field with original research that will be the foundation for the upcoming advancements, improving the lives of many patients.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background and Objectives: The present systematic review and meta-analysis undertake a comparison of studies that examine the accuracy of robot-assisted dental implant placement in relation to static computer-assisted implant surgery (SCAIS), dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery (DCAIS), and freehand procedures. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the precision of robot-assisted dental implant placement and its comparative efficacy in relation to other placement techniques. Methods: The guidelines recommended by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) were used to organize and compose this review. Four electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane) were systematically searched for pertinent articles. Articles were selected following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the selected articles were performed. Results: The initial electronic search resulted in 1087 hits. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, five articles were selected for qualitative analysis, out of which three were considered for quantitative analysis. Three parameters were considered for accuracy evaluation (angular, coronal, and apical deviation). The mean angular deviation was −1.22 degrees (95% CI, −1.06–−1.39), the mean coronal deviation was −0.15 mm (95% CI, −0.24–−0.07), and the mean apical deviation was −0.19 mm (95% CI, −0.27–−0.10). Conclusions: The robotic implant system was found to have significantly lower angular deviations and insignificantly lower coronal and apical deviations compared to DCAIS. Within the limitations of this review, it can be concluded that robot-assisted implant placement in resin models permits higher accuracy compared to DCAIS and SCAIS systems. However, due to the limited number of comparative studies with high heterogeneity, the findings of this review should be interpreted with caution. Further research is necessary to confirm the clinical application of robotics in implant surgery. Full article

Free gingival graft (FGG) is the gold standard procedure for the reliable augmentation of lost keratinized mucosa (KM) around dental implants. This conventional surgical approach has its drawbacks, including limitations in manipulation, the requirement for suturing, postoperative discomfort, and pain. This case report aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a simplified free gingival graft (sFGG) in addressing the issue of inadequate keratinized mucosa around dental implants. Fixation tacks were used to perform the sFGG procedure. Initially, a partial-thickness flap was created and apically repositioned. The gingival graft was harvested from the palate with a narrow profile and securely affixed to the recipient site using 5 mm long fixation tacks. Significant gains in keratinized mucosa were achieved and successfully maintained within 1 year. Consequently, the sFGG technique emerges as a simple and reliable treatment approach for managing inadequate keratinized mucosa around dental implants. Full article

Various vestibuloplasty techniques have been reported to increase the attached mucosa (AM) and vestibular depth around dental implants. However, these surgical methods have disadvantages, such as limitations in manipulation, necessity of suturing, postoperative discomfort, swelling, and pain. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of laser-assisted periosteal fenestration (LA-PF) in treating patients with a shallow vestibule and insufficient AM around dental implants. LA-PF was performed using an Erbium YAG laser (Er:YAG laser). First, a partial-thickness, apically positioned flap was used. A horizontal periosteal fenestration was performed using an Er:YAG laser to expose the bones. Periosteal suturing was not required. After 12 months, sufficient AM and deep vestibules were obtained and maintained. Thus, the LA-PF technique may be a simple and predictable treatment modality for shallow vestibules with insufficient AM around dental implants. Full article
