This oral bacterium implements strategies to invade the various tissues beyond the periodontium

When restoring dental implants, this novel hybrid design presents a viable clinical alternative to screw-retained or cement-retained crowns.

These clinical considerations will help providers choose the most appropriate stud attachment systems for removable overdenture therapy.

Adopting this clinical approach can minimize challenges with screw loosening in dental implant components.

This bacterium’s unique features offer insights into the development of periodontitis and inflammation-driven systemic diseases.

This review will help providers understand applications for cone beam computed tomography in implant planning and placement, as well as when diagnosing and treating periodontal disease.

Incorporating a blended workflow of digital and conventional techniques can improve outcomes in dental implant therapy.

Dentists can minimize the risk of this common complication by understanding how the screw joint works — and ways to control the forces working against it.

While autogenous soft tissue grafts remain the gold standard, non-autogenous graft alternatives show promise for treating mucogingival defects.

The proper selection of implant components and regular maintenance are critical to the long-term success of implant therapy.
