Digital Planning and Clinical Assessment of the Treated Atrophic Posterior Maxilla With a Sinus Lift Procedure: a Cross-sectional Study.

Maxillary posterior area is the most challenging site for dental implant placement. Indeed, complex remodeling processes, resulting in changes of the maxillary sinus and shape of the alveolar ridge will cause difficulties in rehabilitating the posterior maxillae sites. Various techniques have been proposed in order to achieve the necessary bone volume for the placement of long term successful implants. However, unbalanced crown to implant ratio remains a risk factor after successful dental implants installation following sinus graft. No study on humans assessed the effect of apical positioning of the implants in posterior grafted sites (sinus graft or sinus graft + vertical GBR) on the following clinical parameters: The peri-implant bone remodeling (vertical bone loss (mm) and probing depth (mm) around the implants, crown bulkiness, emergence profile and crown height, and Patients satisfaction, food impaction (PROM)). This study will elucidate these points and based on the parameter's results, suggest a treatment based classification facilitating the treatment decision-making of the clinicians in case of an atrophic posterior maxilla; aiming to ensure a long-term successful supra-implant rehabilitation which will maintain its bio-mechanically and biological success.

New Stereophotogrammetry System to Capture Complete-arch Impression

Patients in need of complete arch restorations will be treated with dynamic navigation system. Once the implants are positioned, a new system of stereophotogrammetry will record the implant positions to capture a precise impression to deliver a fixed screw retained interim prosthesis

Soft Tissue Response to Different Restorative Materials Used in Implant Dentistry

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how different materials used in dental implants affect the surrounding gum tissue in adults who need dental implants. The main questions it aims to answer are: How do different materials (titanium, PEEK, zirconia, and lithium disilicate) affect inflammation around dental implants? What changes occur in inflammation markers in the gum tissue after 3 and 6 months? Researchers will compare the different materials to see which one causes the least amount of inflammation. Participants will: Receive dental implants made from different materials. Have samples of fluid from around their implants collected for analysis at 3 and 6 months. Undergo regular dental check-ups to measure gum health, such as bleeding and pocket depth around the implants.
