Acellular dermal matrix membrane for vertical soft tissue augmentation
Puisys A. and et al has evaluated the efficiency of acellular dermal matrix membrane to augment vertical peri-implant soft tissue thickness.
Blood vessels concentration within the implant surface concavities
Angiogenesis plays a key role in bone formation and maintenance. Bone formation has been reported to initiate in the concavities rather than the convexities in a hydroxyapatite substratum and the implant threads of dental implants.
Comparison of laser-microtextured and platform-switched implants
Tomas Linkevicius and et al. has compared how laser-microtextured implants and implants with platform switching maintained crestal bone stability in thin peri-implant tissues.

Effect of different impression materials and techniques on the dimensional accuracy.
Different factors such as impression techniques can affect the passive fit between the superstructure and implant.
Dental implants result in better quality of life for osteoporotic women
With age, postmenopausal women with osteoporosis are at greater risk of losing their teeth.
Nanostructures under stress make teeth crack resistant
Human teeth have to serve for a lifetime, despite being subjected to huge forces. But the high failure resistance of dentin in teeth is not fully understood. An interdisciplinary team of scientists has now analyzed the complex structure of dentin. They could reveal that the mineral particles are precompressed.
