Soft tissue topography and dimensions lateral to single implant-supported restorations. a cross-sectional study

Clinical Oral Implants Research
Moontaek Chang, J L Wennström

Abstract

The aim was to evaluate potential relationships between the implant position relative to adjacent teeth and dimensions and topography of the papillae lateral to implant-supported single-tooth restorations. A total of 32 subjects with a single implant-supported restoration in the esthetic zone of the maxilla were consecutively selected for the study. Soft and hard tissues at the proximal sites of the restoration were evaluated by the use of clinical, photographic, diagnostic cast, and radiographic assessments. A questionnaire was used for assessment of the patients' satisfaction with the esthetic outcome of the restorations. Potential factors influencing the papilla level and the presence of a complete papilla fill were investigated with generalized estimation equations (GEE) analysis. The bone level at the adjacent tooth significantly influenced the papilla level (P < 0.001). The distance between the contact point and the bone level at the adjacent tooth was significantly shorter for "complete" (4.3 mm) papillae than that for "deficient" papillae (5.7 mm) (P < 0.001). The GEE logistic model revealed that the chance of a complete papilla fill improved with increased facio-lingual thickness of the papilla (P = 0.004) and decrease...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
