Purpose: Several procedures are performed to achieve optimal esthetic results in single-tooth
implants. However, there is discordance regarding the potential benefit and risks of immediate
implant loading/provisionalization. The aim of this prospective case series is to investigate
the effect of immediate provisionalization of single-tooth implants at healed sites for periimplant
soft-tissue conditions, focusing on papilla formation around single implants.
Materials and Methods: Twelve patients received a total of 12 implants in the incisor, canine
or premolar region of the upper and lower jaw at healed sites with immediate chair-side
provisionalization. Four months later, the temporary crown was replaced by the permanent
crown. After 40±13.1 months, clinical follow-up was conducted, assessing Probing pocket
depth (PPD); Bleeding on Probing(BoP); Mucosal recession (MR) and Width of Keratinized
Mucosa (KM). Papilla index (PI) was determined immediately after implant placement
(baseline), before removing the temporary crown (t1), 4 weeks after insertion of the definitive
crown (t2) and at the final follow-up examination (t3) to evaluate papilla formation and its
change over time. Results: None of the implants were lost. The mean PPD was 2.5±0.39 mm,
BoP of 25% and 3.5 mm of KM were observed at the final follow-up. No implants showed
MR. PI increased in all patients from 1.5±0.45 at baseline to 2.4±0.56 at t1, 2.6±0.47 at t2 and
3.02.6±0 at t3. The increase in PI between t0 and each individual timepoint from t1-t3 showed
statistical significance. Conclusion: The present results indicate the suitability and benefit of
immediate provisionalization to achieve favorable peri-implant soft-tissue conditions and
papilla formation.
Die moderne Zahnmedizin strebt nach effizienten und ästhetisch ansprechenden Lösungen für den Ersatz fehlender Zähne. Gerade im Frontzahnbereich spielt hierbei die Sofortimplantation eine entscheidende Rolle und bietet sich als vielversprechende Methode zur raschen Versorgung an. Hierbei sollten Risikofaktoren sorgfältig analysiert werden, um optimale Behandlungserfolge zu erzielen. Trotz vergleichbarer Überlebensraten zwischen konventionell inserierten Implantaten und Sofortimplantationen sollten insbesondere mögliche ästhetische Komplikationen berücksichtigt werden, die eine präzise Diagnostik und Umsetzung durch erfahrene Behandler essenziell machen. In diesem Beitrag soll unter Berücksichtigung der aktuell verfügbaren Literatur zum Thema Sofortimplantation eine zusammenfassende Darstellung erfolgen.

Diverse surgical approaches, such as resective, reconstructive, and combined therapy, have been proposed for peri-implantitis treatment. A resective surgical approach with an adjunctive modified implantoplasty refers to the modification of the implant body into a constricted area to mimic a “waist” silhouette. This modified technique forms an adequate concave smooth area that may favor the outcomes of resective surgical therapy for soft tissue adaptation, biofilm control, and possible peri-implant bone gain over the long term. The present case series aimed to exhibit the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of resective surgery with adjunctive implantoplasty over a 6- to 11-year follow-up. Four patients presenting four implants (one per patient) diagnosed with peri-implantitis (according to an established case definition) were included in the present case series. Patients underwent resective surgery, a modified implantoplasty approach, and implant surface decontamination. After surgical therapy, clinical and radiographic outcomes such as bleeding on probing (BoP), suppuration on probing (SoP), probing depth (PD), marginal recession (MR), modified plaque index (mPI), and marginal bone levels (MBLs) were recorded over a long-term follow-up period. Over the 6- to 11-year follow-up, mean BoP, PD, and SoP scores amounted to 17% ± 24%, 3.2 ± 0.66 mm, and 0%, respectively. Mean BoP, PD, and SoP scores were reduced by 67% ± 24%, 2.5 ± 1.26 mm, and 100%, respectively. Radiographic analysis revealed a mean radiographic bone gain of 3.1 ± 1.84 mm. Peri-implant marginal bone loss surface area decreased by 5.7 ± 3.77 mm2 over the long-term follow-up. Resective therapy with adjunctive implantoplasty promoted favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes at treated peri-implantitis sites over a long-term period.
Die Mundgesundheit der Menschen hat sich dank Fortschritten in der zahnärztlichen Rehabilitation weltweit verbessert, dies spiegelt sich in der Anzahl an zahnlosen Senioren wider. Für den zahnlosen Kiefer stehen verschiedene Therapiemöglichkeiten zur Verfügung. Implantatgestützter Zahnersatz bietet eine effektive Lösung und führt zu einer verbesserten Lebensqualität der Patienten. Anatomische Herausforderungen und die Qualität des Alveolarknochens beeinflussen den Erfolg dieser Behandlungsoptionen jedoch erheblich. Eine präzise Planung und enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen Behandler, Zahntechniker und Patienten, unter Berücksichtigung der genannten Faktoren, sind für den langfristigen Erfolg der zahnärztlichen Rehabilitation von zahnlosen oder teilbezahnten Patienten essenziell. Im Folgenden soll ein Fallbeispiel einer zahnlosen Patientin ausführlich dargestellt werden.

Peri-implant diseases are defined as bacterial plaque-induced inflammatory conditions affecting implant-surrounding tissues and are classified as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Peri-implant mucositis is characterized by an inflammatory lesion that resides in the soft tissue compartment, whereas at peri-implantitis sites the lesions also feature progressive loss of implant-supporting bone. Inflammation resolution and disease progression arrestment are the main therapeutic endpoints of the treatment of peri-implant diseases. The present position paper displays the current evidence and clinical recommendations of the European Association for Osseointegration for the treatment of peri-implant diseases. Mechanical biofilm removal along with the reinforcement of patient-administered oral hygiene is considered the standard treatment for managing peri-implant mucositis. It is recommended to assess the outcomes of peri-implant mucositis treatment 2 to 3 months after therapy, and repeated intervention should be considered in the absence of treatment success. Peri-implantitis treatment should follow a stepwise treatment approach, starting with nonsurgical treatment followed by surgical intervention, if that is not sufficient. Surgical peri-implantitis therapies include nonreconstructive, reconstructive, and combined treatment modalities. Implantoplasty may be advocated for the treatment of supracrestal peri-implant defects, whereas reconstructive therapy is indicated at peri-implantitis sites featuring intraosseous defects with a depth ≥ 3 mm. Adjunctive reconstructive measures may be beneficial in enhancing radiographic defect fill and maintaining postoperative soft tissue levels, which may have a great impact in esthetic cases. The adjunctive use of systemic antibiotics during surgical therapy does not seem to improve the clinical outcomes. Regular supportive peri-implant therapy with biofilm removal should be an integral part of the treatment protocol for peri-implant diseases. In the presence of advanced bone loss around implants that do not play a strategic role in masticatory function, implant removal may be considered immediately.

Gingivawucherung entpuppt sich als leukämische Zellinfiltration
Anzeichen einer Leukämie können sich in der Mundhöhle manifestieren. Deshalb kann die oralmedizinische Untersuchung eine essenzielle Bedeutung bei der Früherkennung hämatologischer Erkrankungen haben und den Ausgangspunkt für die Diagnose darstellen. Der vorliegende Fall zeigt, wie die Abklärung eines auffälligen Gingivabefunds zur Diagnose „akute myeloische Leukämie“ führte.

Eine systematische Literaturübersicht und Bewertung von 80 Publikationen, einschließlich 55 randomisierter kontrollierter Studien und 7 klinischer Kontrollstudien, hat zu einer Neubewertung der Wirksamkeit von alternativen und adjuvanten Methoden zur nichtchirurgischen Therapie von periimplantärer Mukositis und Periimplantitis sowie der chirurgischen Therapie von Periimplantitis geführt. Diese Ergebnisse wurden verwendet, um die S3-Leitlinie zur „Behandlung von periimplantären Infektionen an Zahnimplantaten“ (Registernummer 083-023, V 2.0, Stand 02.12.2022) zu aktualisieren. In diesem Beitrag sollen die diagnostischen Kriterien für periimplantäre Infektionen sowie die Therapieziele unter Berücksichtigung klinischer und radiologischer Parameter dargestellt werden.
