Platform switching minimises crestal bone loss around dental implants: truth or myth?

Summary The aim was to assess the role of platform switching (PS) in minimising crestal bone loss around dental implants through a systematic review of the currently available clinical evidence. To address the focused question ‘Does PS minimise crestal bone loss compared with non?platform?switched (NPS) implants?’, PubMed/Medline and Google Scholar databases were explored from 1986 up to and including December 2013 using the following key words in different combinations: ‘bone loss’, ‘dental implant’, ‘diameter’, ‘mandible’, ‘maxilla’ and ‘platform switching’. Letters to the Editor, unpublished data, historical reviews, case reports and articles published in languages other than English were excluded. Fifteen clinical studies were included.

Effect of implant design and bioactive glass coating on biomechanical properties of fiber?reinforced composite implants

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of implant design and bioactive glass (BAG) coating on the response of bone to fiber?reinforced composite (FRC) implants. Three different FRC implant types were manufactured for the study: non?threaded implants with a BAG coating; threaded implants with a BAG coating; and threaded implants with a grit?blasted surface. Thirty?six implants (six implants for each group per time point) were installed in the tibiae of six pigs. After an implantation period of 4 and 12 wk, the implants were retrieved and prepared for micro?computed tomography (micro?CT), push?out testing, and scanning electron microscopy analysis. Micro?CT demonstrated that the screw?threads and implant structure remained undamaged during the installation. The threade…
