Introduction: The interforaminal region is considered more favorable for implant placement than the posterior mandible in edentulous patients, mainly because of the interference of the inferior alveolar nerve with implant placement in the severely resorbed posterior mandible. However, complications in the interforaminal region may occur due to the presence of the mandibular incisive nerve. Objective: This scoping review aims to describe the mandibular incisive nerve anatomy related to the potential interference in implant therapy. Material and methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the following databases: MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, and Scopus. This scoping review was structured according to the Joanna Briggs Institute method. Results: Thirteen studies were included in the review. All the studies were observational cohort anatomical studies, carried out mainly by CBCT and on cadavers. A total of 1471 patients/cadavers were studied. The mandibular incisive nerve was presented in 87-100% of the cases, with an average length of 9.97 mm and an average diameter of 1.97 mm. The mandibular incisive nerve may be damaged during drilling and implant placement, especially using implant lengths larger than 12 mm. Conclusions: Damage to the mandibular incisive nerve due to implant placement could be present, however, it is necessary to conduct more studies focusing on assessing mandibular incisive nerve damage to understand the clinical relevance of this nerve and its associated morbidities such as neurosensorial alterations. Due to the different anatomical characteristics of this nerve, CBCT analysis is recommended for implant therapy in the anterior mandible to prevent the described complications.
Computer-assisted implant planning allows for a comprehensive treatment plan by combining radiographic data provided by a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) with surface optical scan (IOs) data that includes patient intraoral situation and the intended restorative planning. Integrating a tailored restorative design with the patient’s anatomical conditions through virtual implant planning allows for an ideal bio-restorative treatment planning to maximize biological, functional, and esthetic outcomes. This article discusses dataset registration techniques that combine radiographic CBCT data with restorative information as the main path to create a virtual patient. The described techniques include the use of removable radiographic templates with radiopaque markers, dual scan technique, and direct digital file registration of intra-oral scans using anatomical references. Depending on the individual clinical situation, different factors must be considered to appropriately select methods that achieve an optimal registration of diverse datasets. An inherent challenge lies in the presence of scattering artifacts in CBCT scans. Two approaches are proposed for these situations – the use of chairside-fabricated composite resin markers or adhesive spot-markers fabricated for the use with CBCT scans. Both techniques exhibit limitations that need to be taken into consideration. Further approaches should be developed for situations involving scattering in CBCT.

This technical note serves as a practical guide for clinicians aiming to provide solutions to optimize the precision of static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) and the success of implant placement in free-end situations. Five methods are introduced for enhancing surgical guide stabilization and improving the accuracy of implant placements in situations lacking stabilizing adjacent teeth. Techniques include the use of keratinized soft tissues, implant-borne stabilizers, lateral fixation pins, transitional implants, and digital bone segmentation for guide support. Each method is evaluated for its potential to address the specific challenges faced in sCAIS, aiming to contribute to the field through practical solutions for clinicians.
Introduction: Maxillary sinus floor augmentation is a procedure known for its long-term success and predictable outcomes. However, the perforation of the Schneiderian membrane remains the most common complication associated with this procedure. Objective: This systematic review aims to determine the presence of complications during maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedures using CAD-CAM surgical templates. Material and methods: An electronic search was carried out in MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, and Scopus. A descriptive analysis of the data was performed. Studies that have performed lateral sinus floor augmentation were included in the inclusion criteria. The CAD-CAM surgical template design and the intraoperative complications were registered. Results: A total of 13 studies were included. Seven were case reports, four were case series, and two were randomized clinical trials. A total of 94 lateral SFA procedures were included (84 using CADCAM templates and 10 without using templates). Three of the 84 maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedures using a CAD-CAM template presented intraoperative complications. Conclusions: Maxillary sinus floor augmentation performed by using CAD-CAM surgical templates could be related to low rates of complications, however, due to the heterogeneity of the articles included, more standardized studies are needed to confirm these outcomes.

In der vorliegenden Fallserie sollten Einflussfaktoren für die erfolgreiche Eingliederung CAD/CAM-gefertigter implantatgetragener Provisorien untersucht werden, die auf Grundlage einer virtuell geplanten Implantatposition vor der digital navigierten Implantatinsertion hergestellt werden. Die Daten wurden an Patienten gewonnen, bei denen für eine erforderliche Einzelzahn-Implantatversorgung eine digitale Volumentomografie (DVT) und Intraoralscans in eine Implantatplanungssoftware importiert wurden. Ein Synchronisationstool stellte die Verbindung zwischen der Implantatplanungs- und der CAD-Software her, in der eine digitale diagnostische Zahnaufstellung mit passenden Zahndimensionen und adäquater Weichgewebearchitektur erstellt wurde. Anschließend wurden die virtuelle Implantatplanung abgeschlossen und die geplante Implantatposition in die CAD-Software übertragen, wo eine Restauration konstruiert und zur Herstellung geschickt wurde. Nach der navigierten Implantatinsertion wurde das vorgefertigte Provisorium noch am Tag der Implantatsetzung oder, wenn eine verzögerte Belastung oder gedeckte Implantateinheilung indiziert war, nach der Heilungsphase eingesetzt. Die Auswertung erfolgte mittels deskriptiver Statistik und Z-Test für zwei Proportionen. Insgesamt 23 Patienten mit 28 Einzelimplantatstellen erfüllten die Einschlusskriterien und wurden in die Studie inkludiert. Neunzehn individuelle Gingivaformer und 10 provisorische Kronen für insgesamt 29 Restaurationen wurden digital konstruiert und hergestellt. Für die verglichenen Variablen fanden sich keine statistisch signifikanten Unterschiede. Das Fazit: Auf einer virtuell geplanten Implantatposition basierende, individuell vorgefertigte CAD/CAM-Implantatprovisorien lassen sich erfolgreich konstruieren, herstellen und eingliedern, wenn die Implantation navigiert erfolgt.

This case report describes a digital workflow for a computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) healing abutment used in immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone. The design of the healing abutment was based on the existing tooth anatomy in order to provide anatomical support to the gingival tissues and to preserve the gingival contours of the natural tooth. This approach enhances the esthetic outcome of the definitive implant restoration. The surgical procedure including the guided bone regeneration is simplified, postoperative morbidity is reduced, and excessive occlusal loading during healing is limited.

In der dargestellten In-vitro-Studie wurde die Genauigkeit von Implantatschablonen untersucht, die mit drei unterschiedlichen 3-D-Druckverfahren hergestellt wurden. Dabei wurden jeweils zehn identische Implantatschablonen mit vier 3-D-Druckern (Hersteller und Modell zweier Drucker identisch) gedruckt. Alle Implantatschablonen wurden mit einem Referenz-Scanner gescannt und anschließend in die Darstellungssoftware importiert. Die Software berechnete über eine Best-fit-Überlagerung automatisch die dreidimensionalen Abweichungen aller Punkte. Es zeigte sich, dass alle getesteten Drucker ein hohes Maß an Genauigkeit erreichten, was den versuchsweisen Einsatz kostengünstiger Drucker bei der klinischen Herstellung von Implantatschablonen rechtfertigt.

Purpose: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of surgical templates fabricated using three different 3D printing technologies.
Materials and Methods: Ten identical surgical templates were printed using four 3D printers (two of an identical make and model). Each of the surgical templates was scanned by a reference scanner and then imported into the inspection software. Inspection software utilized a best-fit alignment to automatically calculate the 3D variation at all points.
Results: Statistically significant differences were found among the three groups (χ2[2] = 12.880, P = .0016). Mean 3D deviation was also significantly different between the two printers of an identical make and model (χ2[1] = 8.251, P = .0041).
Conclusion: All of the tested printers had a high level of accuracy in the fabrication of surgical templates, which would justify the trial of cost-effective printers for clinical fabrication of surgical implant templates.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the anatomy of the mandibular posterior region to develop an anatomical categorization for implant-prosthodontic planning.
Materials and Methods: Using cone beam computed tomography scans, 313 cross-sectional views of edentulous posterior mandibular sites were evaluated with respect to the anatomical ridge morphology. Virtual implant planning was performed, and the need for bone grafting was assessed. The level of complexity for planning implants in those positions was assessed. Sites were classified as straightforward, advanced, or complex sites based on the need for bone grafting.
Results: Five well-defined cross-sectional configurations were observed: straight (53.6%), oblique (26.2%), s-shape (7.4%), hourglass shape (1.9%), and basal bone (10.8%). There was a statistically significant association between the ridge shape and the feasibility of placing an implant with or without bone grafting; the straight and oblique ridge shapes were more likely to be associated with a favorable anatomy for implant placement.
Conclusion: The ridge shape significantly influenced the ease or difficulty of placing an implant. The s-shape, hourglass, and basal bone posterior mandibular cross-sectional shapes were associated with a higher degree of difficulty.

Purpose: This review was conducted to provide information to support the establishment of clinical guidelines for the treatment of maxillary edentulism using implant-supported fixed dental prostheses.
Materials and Methods: Initial efforts were directed toward a systematic review with a defined PICO question: "For maxillary edentulous patients with dental implants treated using a fixed prosthesis, what is the impact of prosthesis design on prosthesis survival and complications?" Following a title search of more than 3,000 titles identified by electronic search of PubMed, 180 articles were identified that addressed the clinical evaluation of maxillary dental implant prostheses. The broad methodologic heterogeneity and clinical variation among reports precluded this approach for a systematic review. The information was extracted using a standardized extraction table by two pairs of investigators, and the reported outcomes were then summarized according to reported outcomes for implant prostheses supported by four, six, or eight implants using unitary or segmented prostheses.
Results: This review indicated that high prosthetic survival is observed using all approaches. The advantages of using fewer implants and a unitary prosthesis are revealed in the surgical phases, and complications commonly involve the fracture or detachment of acrylic teeth and reduced access for proper oral hygiene and related biologic complications. Using six implants typically involved grafting of posterior regions with advantages of reduced cantilevers and redundancy of implant support. Reduced prosthesis survival in these cases was associated with poor implant distribution. Segmented prostheses supported by six or more implants offered greater prosthetic survival, perhaps due to posterior implant placement. Advantages of a segmented prosthesis included pragmatic issues of accommodating divergent implants, attaining passive fit, combining prosthetic materials, and relative simplicity of repair.
Conclusion: The existing literature demonstrated that maxillary edentulism may be treated successfully using alternative approaches involving four, six, or more implants. The procedural diagnostics, treatment, and maintenance for these different approaches all require advanced knowledge and careful communication among the therapeutic team. The prosthetic therapeutic success requires maintenance, repair, and possible multiple replacements within the patient's lifetime.
