The European Journal of Oral Implantology publishes clinical articles related to the science and practice of oral implantology and related areas, providing up-to-date, evidence-based information to help clinicians make the best decisions for their patients. The focus is on reliable clinical articles, with generous colour illustrations. Manuscripts describe clinical conditions, patient management, clinical experience, treatment and diagnostic procedures or techniques, economic evaluation, and new products and methods. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed, and priority is given to high-quality studies.
EJOI includes systematic reviews and clinical guidelines, clinical studies (including randomized controlled clinical trials, cohort and case-control studies), and case reports and clinical procedures.
This exceptional, high-quality peer-reviewed journal is a welcome addition to journals in the field, and a valuable tool to keep you up to date with the latest innovations and research in oral implantology
Threaded Implants in the Atrophic Posterior Mandible
No full textPartial edentulism in the posterior mandible is a common clinical issue, particularly with the early loss of molars and premolars. Rehabilitation of patients with this deficiency can be achieved using a removable prosthesis, but this solution does not
guarantee optimal function and is often declined by patients for comfort or psychologic reasons. In addition, denture-associated plaque accumulation can result in further caries in the remaining teeth and damage to the periodontal tissue, and poor denture design can lead to tooth mobility and even tooth loss. For these reasons and the reported successful long-term outcomes with dental implant-supported fixed restorations, this option has become the treatment of choice for the posterior mandible among clinicians and patients alike. As originally prescribed for machine-turned (ie, Brånemark-type, Nobel Biocare) threaded implants, many clinicians still believe that predictably successful treatment requires longer (ie, at least 10 mm) implants in the posterior mandible. However, if the teeth intended for replacement have been missing for many years or if their removal was traumatic (causing excessive bone loss), there may be inadequate bone volume to allow placement of standard-length implants. Deficits in bone can be vertical, horizontal, or both.
This chapter focuses on the use of short and ultra-short moderately rough threaded implants (MRTIs) from several manufacturers for sites with advanced vertical bone atrophy in the posterior mandible in combination with adequate buccolingual alveolar ridge width (Seibert Class II). Guidelines, clinical indications, advantages, and disadvantages are given with a special focus on short and ultra-short implants as an alternative to vertical bone augmentation
Rehabilitation of an atrophic posterior mandible with 4-mm short implants: a 3-year post-loading case report.
No full textAIM: We describe a successful implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of an atrophic posterior mandible with 4 mm long implants.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The patient refused to undergo any reconstructive surgery and, because the available bone up to the inferior alveolar nerve was only 4.5 and 5 mm, the patient received 4 implants of 4 mm length.
RESULTS: Four months after implant positioning, a temporary prosthesis was put in place which was then replaced by a permanent prosthesis after another four months. The follow-up time is at three years after implants loading.
CONCLUSION: With the limits of this case report the use of such short implants can allow a fixed prosthetic solution without the need for vertically augmenting of the mandibular bone. This procedure considerably reduces intra and postoperative patient discomfort compared to reconstructive surgery for the placing of longer implants
APPARATO DI AVANZAMENTO E MISURA E METODO DI RILEVAZIONE PER RILEVARE UNA POSIZIONE MODIFICATA IN AVANZAMENTO DELLA MANDIBOLA
No full textGBR in paziente con esiti di sinusite mascellare
No full textDescriveremo la riabilitazione protesica fissa dopo rigenerazione ossea di un caso di sinusite acuta etmoido-mascellare destra riscontrata in una paziente di 40 anni, rivelatosi successivamente all’inserimento di un impianto in regione 1.6 inserito, secondo quanto riferito dalla paziente, contestualmente ad un precedente rialzo di pavimento di seno mascellare per via crestale. Il risultato clinico e radiografico è stabile a 3 anni dal carico protesico implantare
The Inlay Technique With an Allograft Block Used for the Rehabilitation of an Atrophic Posterior Mandible: A Case Report
No full textIntroduction: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this case report is the first in the literature to describe the reconstruction of a severely atrophic poster mandible using an allograft block in the inlay technique.
Case Presentation: Differently orientated osteotomic cuts were performed in order to coronally elevate the osteotomized bony segment. An allograft block was then shaped and placed between the segment and the basal bone. Only 2 months after the grafting procedure, the allograft seemed to be well integrated and two dental implants were placed.
Conclusion: In this clinical case, after only 2 months, allograft block seemed to be an effective material for the reconstruction of the posterior mandible with the inlay technique

No full textThe electric toothbrush: analysis of filaments under stereomicroscope
No full textThe use of manual and electric toothbrushes has a fundamental role in primary prevention in oral hygiene. However, aggressive use of the toothbrushs, especially those with non-rounded filaments, can result in lesions in both soft and hard oral tissue. Without doubt, the electric toothbrush is a useful aid for the patient, and it is therefore intersting to evaluate not only its effectiveness in plaque removal, but also the relationship between morphology of filaments and incidence of muco-gingival pathologies. Objective: The aim of this research was to evaluate various forms of bristles of elctric toothbrushes under a stereomicroscope vision.
Data sources: brusshes tested included two samples of toothbrushes from isx different types. Tufts from the same position on the toothbrush head were removed and examined under stereomicroscope. In this study the percentage of rounded filaments that is considered acceptable and non-traumatic was evaluated according to the Silverstone and Featherstone classification. Conclusion: Morphological analysis of electric toothbrush filaments revealed a low percentale of rounded filaments. In only 4 of 12 electric toothbrushes tested there were more than 50% of the filaments rounded in appearance
